single factor. has been found to be
twins. Yeast, germs OF cereals,
leafy plants, fruits and vegetables
contain this new complex factor.
The new member of the family
has been named after a lengthy
discussion by scientists. The SCENT
lists decided the new member of the
family, which is said to cure beri-
beri, pellagra and stimulate appe-

Professor butcher says that con-
siderable study is necessary concern

ANDERSON CITY
FUNDS TIED Up
AS SUIT RESULT
Plaintiff Alleges Limit of
Legal Indebtedness
Far Exceeded.

BIZ Times SpectGt
ANDERSON, Ind, April 15.-City
employees may miss some pay days
and delay in payment Of other obi-
cations may result from suit filed
by Albert Van Slyke, former works
board and city council member, who
alleges the city has far exceeded
the legal limit OF Indebtedness.
Van Slyke alleges that liabilities
amount to $1,27O,75765, which he
maintains is S477,11595 beyond the
limit. A temporary restraining or
der to prevent further payments by
officials is in effect and a hearing
on whether it shall be made perm
anent is set for April 25 in Madi-
son circuit court.
Charge Political Move
DR.. F. M. Williams, mayor, and
all other city officials are Repub-
licans while Van Slyke is a Demo-
crat. officials declare his suit is a
political move.
However. Van Slyke, in denying
his suit has anything to do with
politics, asserts that it is directed
to obligations contracted more than
a year ago in part, and the litiga-
ton will extend beyond the munich
pal primary election to be held
May 7.
The suit maintains that all in
debtednesS incurred by the city
since March l, 1928, is void.
Some attorneys contend that there
are items in the suit which should
not be included in a total of in
debtedness with reference to the
limit fixed by the state conStitu-
ton. They refer to the Columbus
avenue and Green branch sewer
Judgment, it being a debt imposed
by court Lewiston, and expenditures
contracted for from funds of the
city light plant. The latter, City
Controller James Davies contends,
should be included with light plant
operations and not listed as an Or
binary city debt.
Recently city authorities, in an
effort to raise money, sought to sell
100000 in time certificates, but
could find no buyers.
