SCHOOL FOR OPERATORS HELD IN LAFAYETTE

Telephone Officers and Toll Operators Attended and Received Important Lesson. <1 ■■ Alt Lafayette Thursday and Friday an instructive school for better service was conducted under the auspices of the Independent Telephone Association to' which the officers of the independent lines in this part of Indiana belong. Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Batt, Geo. M. Myers and Misses Daisy Morris and Nell Timmons, the latter two being the toll operators, were in attendance. The meetings were held at the Fowler hotel and the instrudtion was in charge of A. B. Vivian, of Detroit, who for the past eight years has been the secretary of the American Telephone Association. The meeting was planned as a means of adopting uniformity in the telephone code as a means of bettering the service, especially in respect to tolls. It is well known that there has been a great amount of lost time, annoying to patrons and expensive to the companies operating the toll lines. Much of this has been due to a lack of system and a consequent lack of harmony among the operators. Mr. Vivian devoted the two days to instruction for operators and the instruction proved valuable to the telephone officers as well and W. L. Bott, superintendent of the Jasper County Telephone Co., says that he did not miss a session of the meeting and received much-personal benefit from it. Courtesy between operators and patrons is an essential means of service and the companies realize that they are selling service and desire to render it to the satisfaction of the public and to so perform the work through their operators as to secure the best service possible. There are Some chronically disagreeable and unreasonable persons and they can go a long way toward ruining the service for others. Every one should try hard to assist in the new plan of the company for better service. A code should be arranged for the telephone users, thereby resulting in a great saving of time and contributing to the better results sought by the telephone ompanies.

FORMER RESIDENT KILLED IN AUTOMOBILE

Edwin G. Haff, Who Visited Over Sunday With J. A. McFarland, Met Death Near Gibson. Edwin G. Haff, who lived in this city some years ago and run the hitch barn at present owned by James Norgor, .met death near Gibson, not far from Hammond, in Lake county, Thursday night, when he drove his Ford automobile into a fast moving Michigan Central passenger train. Apparently Mr. Haff was blinded by the drizzling rain. No one saw the accident but the wrecked machine with the body beneath was found after the train had dashed by. He died as he was being moved to the hospital. Saturday, Nov. 13th, Mr. Haff came to Rensselaer in his auto and remained over Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. J. A. McFarland. On Monday he took “Aunt” Sarah Pruitt, who lives with Mr. McFarland, to Valparaiso, where Mr. Haff lives and she was to visit relatives there until next Thursday, when Mr. Haff was again to bring her home. No word had been received from him until The Chicago News of Friday evening brought the information that he had been killed in the accident. Mr. Haff was a native of Illinois but re- I sided in Newton county for a number of years, owning a farm south of Foresman. He came to this city some fifteen years ago and conducted the hitchbarn for some time. He then built hitchbarns at several different places and would operate them for some time and then sell them. He had during recent years lived in Valparaiso. Mr. McFarland went to Valparaiso this Saturday morning and expected to attend the funeral of Mr. Haff. He was of the opinion that the body would be shipped to Goodland for burial.

GLASS OF WATER BEFORE YOU EAT ANY BREAKFAST

Wash Poison From .System Each Morning and Feel Fresh As a Daisy. Every day you clean the house you live in to get rid of the dust and dirt which collected through the previous day. Your body, the house your soul lives in, also becomes filled up each twenty-four hours with all manner of filth and poison. If only every man and woman could realize the wonders of drinking phosphated hot water, what a gratifying change would take place. Instead of the thousand's of sickly, anaemic-looking men, women and girls with pasty or muddy complexions; instead of the multitudes of “nerve wrecks,” “rundowns,” “brain fags” and pessimists we should see a virile, optimistic throng of rosycheeked people everywhere. Everyone, whether sick or well, Should drink each morning before breakfast, a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it to wash from the stomach, liver, kidneys and ten yards of bowels the previous day’s indigestible waste, Sour fermentations and poisons, thus cleansing, sweetening and freshening the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach. Those subject to sick headache, biliousness, nasty breath, rheumatism, colds; and particularly those who have a pallid, sallow complexion and who are constipated very often, are urged to obtain a quarter pound of limestone phosphate at the drug store whih will cost but a trifle but is sufficient to demonstrate the quick and remarkable change in both health and appearance awaiting those who practice • internal sanitation. We must i emember that insid cleanliness is more important than outside, because the skin does not absorb impurities to contaminate the blood, while the pores in the thirty feet of bowels do.
