Despite this summers hot and sui.

which produces healthy babies, it
seems.
Last week The Times printed a
picture Of Clarence Frederick of To-
ledo, Ohio, WHO. though not yet 10
months old. weighs forty pounds.
Mothers here were quick to assert
that their children sge every bit as
big and strong and healthy as Clar-
enee. What's more. they backed UP
their assertions with facts and
figures.
13 Months, 35 Pounds
Two of the best babies are Billie
Howard Buchanan and Betty Jean
Yarbrough.
Billie, 13 months. son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Dan Buchanan, 2701 n. Chester
ST., weighs thirty-five pounds. He
weighed twelve and three-fouths
pounds when he was born. July y.
1925.
He eats any kind of food that the

said, "aud he gets bath four times
day."
Billie has been walking for three
months.
Though she is only months old.
Betty Jean. daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Fred Yarbrough. 2919 n. Olney
ST., weighs twenty-five pounds.
When she was born. Feb. IL, her
weight was ten pounds.
Plenty of Sleep
Plenty of sleep is one thing that
keeps Betty Jean healthy, Mrs.
Yarbrough said. She sleeps two
hours in the morning, twoH hours in
the afternoon. is in bed at 1880 in
the evening and sleeps until about
a. m.
Then, too, she eats about one tea
spoonful of butter three times a

Asks Appropriation for Three
More Deputy Prose-
CutorS.
PLANS REARRAN MENT
To Request Discharge of At
torney Generals.

A move to discharge the three
special deputy attorney generals
named early this year by Attorney
General Arthur L. Gilliom tc prose
cute liquor law cases in Marion
County was instituted today by
Prosecutor William II. Remy.
Remy, in a letter sent County
Auditor Harry Dunn with an itemized
budget of the prosecutors Office for
1927, pointed out that he has asked
for six city deputy prosecutors at
an annual salary of 81. 400 each.
This will be three more deputies
than he nnw has, Remy stated.
To Ask Discharge
IF the county council approves
the appropriation I shall ask Attor-
ney General Gillom to discharge the
three deputies appointed by him"
Remy said. They will relinquish
their offices on Jan. /. 1927, he said.
Since the special deputy attorneys
assumed their duties early this year
they have received approximately
S2S,000 in fees paid by persons con-
victed for violating the prohibition
laws. They were paid $25 for each
conviction in municipal court and
$50 for each conviction in Criminal
Court on appeal. Out of these fees
the deputies maintainepd their own
office. equipment and assistants in
police station.
"As liquor cases are now tried
simultaneously in as many as FIVE
courts, it has frequently compelled
me 10 appear in these various
courts" Remy wrote as his reason
foS asking more assistants.
Asked Money Once
Remy requested the county com
missioners for extra assistants early
this year, but when they failed to
act Immediately, sought relief from
Gilliom.
Later. money was appropriated for
two extra deputies and a stenogra-
pher to help. but Remy refused to
use it as the deputy attorney gen.
erals had alreadys been named.
This money is now at Remys dis
posal and he can discharge Gilliom's
deputies Immediately and hire addi-
tional help" said Commissioner Cas-
sius L. Hogle.
Hogle said Remy's new proposal
will be a great saving to the county.

The budget, while large, provides
for a sinking fund to redeem the
bond issue falls due, there will be
the new plant, and at the same time
takes care of total depreciation Of
the plant over period of thirty
years. Thus, when payment on the
bond issue fails due, there will be
a sum sufficient to build a new gas
plant, if necessary, and at the same
time, meet the Indebtedness of the
present plant.
An average for the past twelve
months of the business of the City
Gas company, shows $50 users con-
suming 449,500 cubic feet of gas
per month. By attracting whole
sale users it is believed that gas
receipts can be raised to month
ly sum that will allow a general
price cutting, to small consumers
as well as large. A proposal for
a sliding scale of rates that will
mean a saving to the domestic US
er whose consumption does not
place him in the 10000 feet a

and will be acted on favorably as
soon as business in the new plant
warrants, it is promised.
