75-MILE LONG CITY, PLAN OF CALUMET AREA Gary, t Hammond, Indiana Harbor and East Chicago Included. Bu United Press HAMMOND, Ind., Dec. 2.—A continuous city, twelve miles wide and seventy-five miles long, stretching from the Indiana-Illinois line at Hammond, to Michigan City, is being planned by civic -leaders of the Calumet district, and probably will be a reality within the next quarter century at the present rate of expansion. The movement already is beginning at Michigan City. Two and a half miles west of the prison city a huge $10,000,000 subdivision enterprise stretches westward covering 5,000 acres to the eastern boundary line of the Indiana Dunes state park area. From Gary the expansion of housing facilities is stretching eastward and will receive great momentum as the deep sewer line and supplementary sewage systems are laid. This is expected to be effected next summer. Building Abolishes Lines The same expansion is witnessed further between Gary and Hammond and between Indiana Harbor and Gary, where city limit lines are being obliterated by the construction of new homes, which gradually are making Gary, Hammond, Indiana Harbor and East Chicago a whole. According to the opinion of Mayor Tinkham of Hammond, and many others prominent in civic affairs, the movement to consolidate the various cities will begin to take rapid form next year, when, they say construction of homes in the Dunes area will be undertaken on a vast scale. Take Initial Step The first concrete step in the work of consolidation was taker at Indianapolis Wednesday when a group of forty men, mayors, coun-

BEST MEDICINE HE FOUND IN 6 YEARS, HE SAYS States He Spent Over Thousand Dollars Before He Got Konjola. “i think Konjola is the best medicine I have ever found in the past six years, because it ended my health troubles after I had spent over a thousand dollars for medical treatment and all kinds of remedies, said Mr. C. D. Hoover, well known

Indianapolis citizen, living at 1021 W. Thirty-Fifth St., this city, while talking with the Konjola Man at the Hook’s Drug Store, Illinois and Washington Sts., Indianapolis, where large crowds are calling dally to find out for themselves about this surprising new medicine. “My trouble was stomach, catarrh, and troubles that follow. I couldn’t eat meat of any kind and had to live on milk, graham crackers and vegetables. Even with that diet I would have terrible gas pains and would bloat continually. I was also very nervous. Also had neuritis Very bad. Now I have gained nine pounds, sleep fine, eat most anything, gas has disappeared and I do not bloat any more. I really feel fine and work every day. Before taking Konjola I could not work regularly for two years. I would get up 3 or 4 times each night on account of kidney trouble but now I never get up more than once and most of the time, not at all. “It Is certainly a pleasure to know that there is a medicine like Konjola, and I am certainly glad to recommend it.”

Konjola is different than any remedy ever known in this section. Where many ordinary medicines contain only 7 or 8 herbal ingredients which merely act as a laxative, this new Konjola contains twenty-two juices extracted from natural plants which invigorate the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels to more healthy action. The effects of Konjola on the whole inner system brings amazing relief in cases of suffering that has been going on for years. At the same time, many weak and rundown systems have been restored to anew state of health thru the use of this com-i pound. Such a vast number of men and women in this city have told their experience with this new medical product until now Konjola has become the most highly indorsed medicine that is known in this vicinity. The Konjola Man at the Hook’s Drug Store, Illinois and’ Washington Sts., Indianapolis, where he is daily meeting the public and introducing and explaining the merits of this remedy. Konjola is being sold by all the best druggists in all towns throughout this entire section.—Advertisement. •

cilmen, engineers and representatives of all the cities and towns along the lake, from the Illinois State line to Michigan City, met in the office of Dr. W. F. King, of the State Board of Health and discussed means of eliminating sewage pollutidn of Lake Michigan and streams that empty into it. At an informal conference after the meeting, it was suggested and agreed to by all that Dr. King draft an order compelling immediate action on sewage disposal and force co-operation between the various municipalities in cleaning up the lake. This Dr. King did, urging concerted action, reminding the various mayors that they were serving a unified community and asking that they co-operate not only in this matter, but in every manner which would serve to unite the Calumet region, and avoid petty squabbles.

More than threefifths of a bill commands full payment. * *

Black Bears Offered for Sale; Guaranteed, Too

Denver Zoo Sees Bruins on All Sides, and Food Running Low. Bu United Press DENVER, Dec. 2.—ls there are any prospective purchasers of guaranteed black bears in the United States, the keeper of the Denver zoo would like to hear from them. And when he doe*, the keeper, Elf Gross, will crate one guaranteed bear and ship it post-haste to the purchaser, continuing the process in rotation until his surplus of guaranteed black bears is reduced. A guaranteed black bear, it might be mentioned, is a special kind of black bear, a gentle bear, a bear which would rather eat sugar than human hands. Gross has twenty-two bears and they are crowding out the other animals at the Denver zoo. Further-

more, they eat more than the zoo budget allows for bears. Still further, Gross expects more bears, some by natural increase and some by the generousity of citizens who casually find cubs in the mountains back of Denver and then just as casually donate them to the Denver zoo, which after all, as Gross put it, is a zoo and not a bear farm. Despite the superabundance of bears, all kinds of them, in the cages surrounding his office, Gross has considerable affection for them, especially the guaranteed ones. Purchasers of guaranteed black bears, therefore, before they can take their purchases home with them, must promise Gross they will not use his guaranteed bears as raw material for rugs. In addition, these guaranteed bears must be treated gently, fed sufficiently, and on Sundays and holidays be given sugar, because as Gross further put it: "That’s what they expect.”

DEMOCRATS TO WIELD GREATER SENATEPOWER Narrow Republican Majority Will Increase Opposition Committee Berths. Bu Times Rvecial WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.—Although Republicans are to be allowed to wave the visible scepter of power in the next Senate, Democratic members intend to secure much greater control behind the scenes than in the past, according to indications on eve of the new session. Senate Democrats will demand, and probably receive, greater representation on important Senate committees in caucuses, to be held

the next few days, preliminary to organization. It is in committees where real work of Congress is done. If Democrats succeed in getting increased representation on Major committees, even though they do not have a majonity, they can, with help of Republican Liberals, almost control decisions as to what legislation shall go before the Senate. Most of the big committees now have a Republican majority of two. If this is cut to one, Democrats will gain eighteen new committee places. On some of the less important committees Democrats will ask equal representation, which would increase their committee seats* to about twenty-five.
