Indiana Girl
in Health Test

Millions of boys and girls all over
the world, thousands of them right
here in Indiana, are being restored
to health and strength by the pure
ly vegetable tonic and laxative
known as California Fig Syrup and
endorsed by physicians for over
fifty years.
Children need no urging to take
it. They love its rich, fruity flavor.
Nothing can compete with it as a
gentle, but certain laxative, and it
goes further than this. 1t gives
tone and strength to the stomach
and bowels so these organs continue
to act normally, of their own &C
cord. 1t stimulates the appetite,
helps digestion.
An Indiana mother. Mrs. Anna
Dillehay, 1875 Bradshaw St., Indi-
annapolis, says: Mary is absolutely
the picture of health, now, with
her ruddy cheeks, bright eyes and
plump but graceful little body and
she stands at the top in every
health test
Much of the credit for her per-
feet condition is due to California
Fig Syrup. We have used it since
babyhood to keep her bowels active
during colds or any childrens all
mentS and she has always had an
easy time with them. She always
responds to its gentle urging and
is quickly back to normal"
Ask your druggist for California
Fig Syrup and look for the word
California" on the carton so you'll
always get the genuine.-Advertise-

POLICE PACKED
into beer BELT
TO CRAMP War
Chicago Gang Chiefs Split
and Violence Outbreak
Looms.

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, Oct. 11.-John Siege,
deputy commissioner of detectives,
sent six carefully selected squads
into the South Side beer belt today
on the strength of reports of wide
epread "muscling in" by rival beer
runners.
1--WE are moving into the front
line trenches" Siege said, land we
are going to stay
''Muscling in is gangland'S term
for the process by which competitive
beer syndicates invade each others
territory and force sales of their
product on saloon keepers.
Capone Gang Split
The disappearance of Joe Salts,
former dictator of Der distribution
in one area on the South Side and
the break between Scarface Al
Capone and Ralph Sheldon,
Capone's former lieutenant, has re-
suited in general violation of the
borders which divide the territories
of rival gangsters.
Salts disappeared after being
sentenced to Sixtd vas in Jail for
carrying a concealed weapon. Ca
pone then ousted Sheldon and put
Hugh (Stubby) McGovern in his
place. Sheldon took his followers
over to the O'Donnell gang and to-
gether they are said to have begun
a campaign of "muscling in"
throughout the Salts territory.
Escapes Machine Gun Attack
Resentment by loyal Salts men
over that invasion is believed re-
sponSible for the machine gun attack
night before last on Spike O'Don-
nell. Spike showed up at police
headquarters today and announced
that he was "out to get Salts,
whether the police can find him or
not"
O'Donnell, whose gang owns all
the beer trucks on the South Side,
said 100 machine gun bullets had
been fired at him and that he had
saved himself by dropping to the
sidewalk. His coat bore two bullet
holes. Later O'Donnell was ar
rested for carrying a concealed
weapon. He said, when arrested,
that he was waiting for Joe Salts. )"

SLIGHT
IN MURDER OF
THEATER man
MunCie Arrests Prove
'FIuke' as Well as Those
Held Here.

Police virtually are without a
clew to the bandits who killed Paul
T. Pulliam, general manager of the
Bair neighborhood theaters, Mon
day night, Detective Chief Jerry
Kinney said this afternoon.
This morning police had hoped
Muncie officers might have the
Slayers under arrest. Muncie police
phoned they had arrested five
youths they believed to be bandits
and asked the descriptions of the
bandits in the Pulliam Staying.
Later they phoned that the youths
held at Muncie did not answer the
descriptions and probably had moth
ing to do with the local murder.
Detectives are hindered by the
meager descriptions they have of
the bandits, Kinney said. They
have a partial description Of one
man, the description of the clothes
of another and no description of
the third. Kinney also said they
had no evidence against two local
men arrested in the investigation
Wednesday night, who are being
held under high bonds.

SEEK SUNNYSIDE
CONTROL SHIFT
County Council to Request
State to Take 1t.

An effort to have the state take
over the operation of Sunnyside
tuberculosis Sanitarium Is to re
made at the next session of the leg
islature, it was indicated today, a.
a meeting of the county council
Discussion of the shift in owner
ship was informal, and came after
the council had appropriated $1,1S1
for the installation of new pumps
and boilers at the sanitarium.
Four council members, led by Paul
Dunn, expressed themselves in favor
of the change and declared i'm
mediate steps should be taken to
shift the burden Of expense from
Marion county.
1t was pointed out that $1,000 900
has been invested in buildings at
the sanitarium, and that it Is in
adequate to care for the large num-
Der of patients seeking admission.
The state at present operates a
tuberculosis hospital at Rockville.
which is smaller than the Sunny
side sanitarium.
George Montgomery, council
president, favored the shift in
ownership and said he believed a
move would be made in the near
future to obtain legislation making
the change in control possible.
A tuning-fork struck in a vacuum
will give no sound because sound is
an impression produced upon the
ear by vibrations of the air.
