baby away, so I ran away from
Brazil and went to Charlottesville.
There was no work there for a
woman with little baby and l came
on to Indianapolis, Wednesday. !
stayed at a hotel, but I've got almost
no money and knew I'd have to get
to work right away. But how could
/, with my little baby? So began
asking people If they knew of any,
who would take him-I meant just
for awhile"
Better Than LIFE
"a man told me to wait in the
Traction Terminal station and he'd
telephone his mother-said she
wanted a baby. Then the officer came
and arrested me. They didn't under
stand. I'd die before I'd give UP this
child. I am a married woman, but
haven't lived with my husband for
some time. He knows nothing of
this child. Just the same, with no
one in the world to help me, ] want
to keep my little darling. / love
him better than my life.
IT had q chance-several OF them
to give him away when he was
born. I've never considered it, but
until 1 find work-oh, is there any
body who will just keep him tempo
rarity? That's all ask"
Mrs. Clifford was released by court
authorities, who said they would
hold Mrs. Cole until they received
word from Brazil officers.

UNEVEN DROP IN
WHEAT EXPECTED
Bearish Sentiment Un-
changed at Chicago.
BU United Press

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, March 1S.-The fact
that May wheat prices are down to
within 1zc of the lowest Of the
season failed to change bearish
sentiment on the Chicago Board of
Trade and the trade is disposed to
look for an irregular decline. Open
ing quotations were NJ to 1sc lower
than yesterdays close.
Corn opened nc lower than the
previous close. The light receipts
have been the main bullish influence
in holding prices and may continue
to do so.
Oats are without feature or in
terest and continue to follow other
grains. Opening prices were un-
changed to nc lower than previously.
Provisions opend steady.

81 NEW YORK, March 1S-Federal
bank reports as of March 16, showed
some slight shading of reserve ratios
due to March Is requirements. How
ever, the statements clearly demon
strated why bonds and investment
stocks have been continuously strong
by setting forth another increase of
S11,O00,0OO in gold holdings, bringing
this item to $3,023,7 TAI 900, a new high
since 1924.
This steady broadening OF the
country's credit base, together with
reports of expanding operations in
the steel industry and increasing en-
ployment in the automobile trade
kept the main body Of stocks
buoyant in the early dealings. Ameri-
can Tobacco moved up IL to 1868 on
it's 1926 report, showing a balance
of $3.50 on the combined common
an B shares against $9.77 in 1925.
Increased Capital
Allied Chemical, whose 1925 bal
ance sheet showed an increase in
working capital to $134,O00,O00 from
$118, 100000 in the previous year,
moved up nearly point to 142$,
while Steel, Baldwin and other in
dustrial leaders were in demand at
the close at the best levels of the
movement.
Considerable unsettlement was
created in hte late morning by bad
breaks in special stocks. Warner
Pictures broke 21a points to r.,
American Brown Boveri 4 points
to S1H.
Reaction
These weak spots, together with
active profit-taking in industrial
leaders, caused the main body of
stocks to turn reactionary. How
ever, the overflow of investment
funds into standard shares increased
and prices of this group held up.
Buying of Atchison, Baldwin,
General Motors and Steel was par
ticularly intensive and the support
which these shares received effec-
lively discouraged bearish operations.

Is your face drawn and pinched?
Your skin habby? Are your cheeks
sunken with great hollows under the
eyes? Does your figure show I'M
becoming angles instead of the soft
ly rounded slimness of youth?
All these conditions rob you of
attractiveness and make you look
old. But worst of all, these may
actually be the symptoms of simple
anaemia-that dread ailment so Of
ten suffered by women.
There's nothing so good as Nc

round out face and figure and build
up rich, red blood.
So if you need a few pounds OF
flesh to round out the hollows, If
you want to get back oldtime energy
and health, get box of McCoy's
Tablets today. Just short treat
ment will make you look and feel
like a new person.
Mccoy takes all the risk-Read
this ironclad guarantee: If after
taking four 60-cent boxes of McCoy's
TABLETS or two 81 boxes any thin,

pletely satisfied with the marked
improvement in health-your drug
gist is authorized to return the pur-
chase price.

tate" and he pointed out that since
becoming director Of the conserva-
ton department upon its creation
by the Legislature in 1919, he con-
stantly added to lands and public
properties under his management,
and until now more than $4,000
acres in parks, forest reserves, game
preserves, State fish hatcheries, his

trolled by the department.
The department consists of the
six divisions-economic geology, en-

parks and engineering.
Speaking of the public estate
Lieber pointed out that in the past
two years, surplus earnings of the
fish and game division which derives
its revenue solely from sale of hunt
ing and fishing licenses, were invest
ed in 1000 acres of land in Brown
County, which serves the two pur-
poses of furthering demonstration

for small wild game life.

Proper Nourishment Given
Pupils at Minimum Cost
in Cafeteria.

A three-course luncheon for Is
cents!
Soup, meat and salad for the
ordinary cost of a sandwich.
This is what pupils enjoy in the
Washington High School cafeteria.
School authorities have scaled the
food prices at cafeterias to the low
est possible point, to insure proper
nourishment for students, regard
less of the size of their allowances.
The highest priced dish at Wash
ington is cents. The lowest is /
cent. But the best bargain for the
hungry pupil is the famous 15-cent
plate luncheon, which is as well bal
anced as Miss Mary E. Camack, head
of the cafeteria, can make it.
All sandwiches, salads and vege-
tables at Washington are only 5
cents. A generous serving of baked
ham, meat pie, salmon croquets, or
swiss steak can be bought for 6
cents.
At Manual Training High School
all meats and fish are 10 cents.
Meats are 6 cents at Arsenal Tech

DEBATE ON GINGER
Marion Druggist Case Be-

Jamaica ginger's status under the
Eighteenth Amendment and the
Wright Bone-Dry law was debated
before the Indiana Supreme Court
in oral argument on the appeal Of
Henry Ellwanger, Marion, Ind,

Grant Circuit Court.
In the Circuit Court, Ellwanger
was found guilty of selling Jamaica
ginger to Ferris Jay, Federal prohi-

within the States right to strength
en- provisions Of the Federal
statutes in this respect.
