J. W. BOSSE. County Chairpian. THE TIMES The Gary Tribune, an independent j paper, takes the following view of the j present times: "When Charles ‘M. Schwab was i.i-l terviewed in Pittsburg tile other day. he said: ‘We are now experiencing iu period of industrial depression, but, 11 feel confident all is well.’ "‘Mr. Schwab’s optimism is shared : generally by steel manufacturers. Sol far as the Tribune can learn, most manufacturers are ‘confident all is well’ just as soon as the currency bill is out if the way. It is to be'doubted ; if the new tariff law would have beer. |

■> any kind of a factor if it had not hap ■ pened the currency bill came along t< * disturb general business, and then : people got to talking of the new tarifl s a factor in the slackening of or ders for iron and steel. "Good progress was made yesterday in the consideration of the currency bill. We must take off our hats to 1 this democratic president, who steps * in and forces the democratic machine i , in the senate to action. Under a weaki er president, the senate would still ’ have been talking over the measure next November, and in the meantime business would have become paralyzed. “Some steel manufacturers expect that It will take business about two months after the passage of . the cur rency bill to get adjusted to the new order of things, and then business will be back again in the steel industry." At the meeting of the democratic state committee held yesterday at Indianapolis it was decided to hold a love feast in that city on January 8. and invitations were sent to President Wilson and Vice President Marshall to attend. The democratic newspaper men will hold the mid-winter session at the same time. It was also decided that the delegates to the district conventions be chosen December 26th and -7th, one delegate to ite chosen for each I 150 votes cast for Governor Ralston, the manner of choosing to be left to the county chairmen. At the committee meeting on January 8 the date for the state convention will be fixed, the general desire now.being for from March 20 to 25. »' ' NOTICE.

[CARE IS TAKEN _______ By the School Board to Prevent Further Spread of , Scarlet Fever. • EXAMINATION MADE Os Children of West Ward r —29 Found With Affected Throats—Sent Home. Twenty-nine pupils in the West, ward school house were found to be suffering from affected throats and a; few of them were found ill the first -tages of scarlet fever this morning.! They were sent home and the school; dismissed for disinfecting this afternoon. There is no cause for alarm in this I action, us it is simply the way the - school board takes to guard against the spread of scarlet fev.er which is prevalent in a slight degree in the! city. In the west ward district there are! about eight cases of scarlet fever. j The law enacted by the state legis-; lature in 1911, requires the school! board t otake extreme precaution, it | expressly sets forth that when con i tagimiH diseases exist in the conimun ■ Ity, and there is liability of spread, the | M-hool children shall be examined by a physician, all ill children sent home I and the school building disinfected. County “Health Board Secretary J. M. Miller conducted te examination this morning, with the aforesaid resuit?. The failure of the school tm itees or school board to comply with the law, renders them subject to a I heavy fine. c- • DID YOU EVER THINK OF THIS" j If you stepped on the cat's tail and j .t hollered, would you give it chloro ; form or morphine to make it stop hoi | lerin. or would yon get off of its tail? ! Why. then, if your stomach, bowels, J kidneys, liver, lungs or any part of ; ' the body hollers, why don’t you have 1 i the real trouble removed instead of ! j taking pills and dope to kill the pain?,; By causing diseased parts to pain is | nature's way of letting you know that 1 ' there is something wrong and not a | tail for dope. Then if there Is some-i tiling wrong, it needs fixing, doesn’t. it? This is the osteopath’s business.; He is the skilled mechanic for the i human body. Simple enough, isn’t it?
