U. S. TO LIFT
RUSS EMBARGO
Will Join Allies in Raising
Blockade on Soviets.
WASHINGTON, Jan 20.—The United
States very soon will lift its embargo
on shipments to soviet Russia, thus
joining the allies in partially raising
the blockade on that country, it was
believed today at the state department.
Clearance of ships from the United
States with supplies for soviet Russia
now is prohibited by the war trade
board. This rule must be abandoned
if the plan for an exchange of goods
with Russia is to be a success, it was
said at the state department. In their
present condition of economic exhaustion
ike allied nations of Europe could hardly
furnish supplies to any material extent
to the people of Russia without Ameri
can aid, it was pointed out.
Although the allies did not invite this
country to Join in the blockade-lifting.
It was said at the state department that
the plan actually was originated some
time ago by this government, proposed
to the supreme council and rejected.

charge of kidnaping their own children,
have been released. They claim Windsor,

desired to adopt them but it is claimed
that the mother spirited them away and
came to this city, where she is said to
have relatives.
Franklin came here Monday, found his
wife and children and demanded their
custody. When they were refused him he
created a disturbance and the police were
called.

clothing are to be made to the depart
ment of Justice today, when Howard E.
Figg, in charge of the government’s cam
paign against living costs, meets with a
committee of the National Retail Dry
Goods association.
This association appointed a committee

ommend ways and means of reducing at
least one phase of the cost of living. Figg
said today that the retailer would ulti
mately achieve a drop-in the present in
tolerably high prices.
Broken Parole Law
Robs Man of Bride
SIOUX FALLS, s;~D„ Jan. 20.—The
long arm of the law reached out today
and plucked a bride away from Grover

violated her parole. Hopkins appealed to
the court for a writ of habeas corpus,

THIN PEOPLE
NEED BITRO
PKOSPHATE
Increases Weight, Strength and Nerve
Force in Two Weeks Time
in Many Instances
Judging from the countless prepara
tions and treatments which are con- i
tinually being advertised for the pur- j
pose of making thin people fleshy, de- I
veloping arms, neck and bust, and re
placing ugly hollows and angles by the I
soft, curved lines of health and beauty, j
there are evidently thousands of men
and women who keenly feel their exces
sive thinness.
' ’• 4
--
Thinness and •weakness are often dne
to starved nerves. Our bodies need more
phosphate than is contained in modern
foods. Physicians claim there is noth
ing that will supply this deficiency so
well as the organic phosphate known
among druggists as bitro-phospbate,
which is inexpensive and is sold by
Haag's Seven Stores, also Hook’s drug
stores and most all druggists under a
guarantee of satisfaction or money back.
By feeding the nerves directly and by
supplying the body ells with the neces
sary phosphoric food elements, bltro
phosphate should produce a welcome
transformation in the appearance; the
increase in weight .frequently being as
tonishing.
Increase In weight also carries with it
a Y general improvement in the health.
Nervousness, sleeplessness and lack of
energy, which nearly always accompany
excessive thinness, should oon disap
pear, dull eyes ought to brighten, and
pale cheeks glow with the bloom of
perfect health. Miss Georgia Hamilton,
who was once thin and frail, reporting
her own experience, writes: “ißitro-
Ph.osphnte has brought about a magic
transformation with me. I gained 15
pouuik and never before felt so well.”
CAT TION :—While Bitro-Phosphate is
unsurpassed for the relief of nervous
ness, genferal debility, etc., those taking
It who do not desire to put on flesh
should use extra care in avoiding fat
producing foods.—Advertisement.
INDIANAPOLIS. INDIANA
ASSERTS CITY
COUNCIL’S NOT
MERELY NAME—
Schmidt Demands Right to
Pass on Purchase of
Two Patrols.
ORDINANCE IS ADOPTED
T,he power of the city administration
to enter into contracts for purchasing
supplies without prior sanction by the
city council wax questioned at a meet
ing of the council last night, when gen
eral ordinance No. 4 was called for sec
ond reading.
The ordinance provided for a ratifica
tion of a contract for the purchase of
two police patrols entered into between
the city and L. H. Colvin, agent for
the White Automobile Company, for
$7,600.
Gustav G. Schmidt, president of the
council, asked why the council was not
called upon to approve the contracts. He
said it was the duty of the council to
pass on all contracts for amounts ex
ceeding $2,000 and also remarked that all
such contracts should be advertised and
let on bids after the prescribed manner.
“If members of the council do not
pass on snch contracts we will be mere
figureheads,” said Mr. Schmidt, “and if
such is the case I might as well have
a rubber stamp made with my name on
it and send a substitute here to use It.”
NOT TRYING TO PUT
OVER ANYTHING ON COUNCIL.
Councilman Carnefix said he did not
believe they were trying to “slip any
thing over on the council.” He also
said the ordinance had been presented
to get the approval of the council. Mr.
Carnefix said the only feature of the
contract he did not like was the fact
that the purchasing members of the
administration promised Colvin to buy
the patrols without first asking the
sanction of the council. The ordinance
was passed after the discussion.
Ordinances amending ana correcting
errors in general ordinance No. 12 were
passed.
In an ordinance passed at a previous 1
meeting salaries of various city em- j
ployes were fixed, two members of the j
engineering department being classed as !
“A" and “B." The salary of "A” was
set at $1,200 per year and “B” at $1,020.
Through a mistake both of the men were
classed under A. The superintendent of
street gas lighting had been left out al
together. His salary was fixed at $1,600
a year.

LABOR GAINS IN BRITAIN
By WEBB MILLER.
United Press Staff Correspondent.
LONDON, Jan. 20.—General political
and social unrest are among the first
problems under consideration in Euro
pean chancellories today, advices to the
United Press indicated.
The bolshevik menace, still realized as
a danger despite lifting of the blockade
against Russia, unfavorable rates of ex
change, necessity for extending immedi
ate aid to Austria, Armenia and Poland,
strikes and lockouts, all are questions
demanding immediate attention.
The general situation may be summed
up as follows;
Great Britain—The labor movement
has grown in strength until the nation
is face to fae% with a labor government.
Several strikes now are under way. The
Irish question, heightened by unexpected
strength of the Sinn Fein in recent elec
tions, is ever present. Commons proba
bly will consider it next month.

Miss Mary Pickford,
Los Angeles, Calif.
For several weeks there has been a persistent rumor that
you are dead. At least half the population have friends
or relatives who attended your funeral and not less than
four thousand served as pallbearers. L fully realize how
these absurd rumors start but here au least there is a
sincere feeling of sorrow over your demise and I wish you
would wire me a message to your many unknown friends and
set their minds at rest so that they may feel assured that
for many, many years at least they will have the opportunity
of seeing Little Mary in such glorious creations as Pollyanna*
which ia the Circle’s attraction all this week. Thanking 1
you in advance and with sincerest best wishes for many more®
years as America’s sweetheart. Jj||
