THE TYPHOID GERM IS RAMPANT.
S IS A F F V SUMMARIES 2
STANDING OFTHE CLUES. NATIONAL LEAGUE.
There Is something wrong somewhere, and It looks as though the trouble
might be located In the schools.
Reports to tho contrary notwithstanding, it is a fact that quite a few
pupils were taken out of school during the past few months suffering from typhoid fever and other ailments and at the present time Professor Jason Elston is lying at the point of death with typhoid. The school authorities claim that he could not have contracted his illness from drinking school water, as the latter is thoroughly filtered, but the physicians who are attending the patient declare that water is at the bottom of tho professor's illness. It devolves upon the schools to educate along more lines than one and enlightenment and a good example as to sanitation Is one of the most important lessons for a community to absorb. Allowing that the school water is "filtered," When typhoid fever is abroad, mere filtering is of small consequence. The mud that appears in ail drinking water brought from Lake Michigan when the lake Is "riled up," can be eliminated by the filtering process, and tho sea monsters which have been known to force their way through faucets unequipped with filters, have never been found In water that comes through devices, but there is no doubt that typhoid germs can exist even in water that has been seeped through charcoal and through porous stone. Something more than mere filtration is needed to rid the water of the deadly baccilli which when taken into the system, form the basis for typhoid. There is no doubt that a filter when clean, helps some even where typhoid germs are concerned, but physicians are many who assert that a filter which is not cleansed with considerable frequency, Is worse than no filter. For the sediment which accumulates within the device, rots or grows stale and forms the foundation for all manner of ills. When typhoid fever prevailed so extensively in Chicago before the drainage canal was in operation, the city health department insisted that assurance of safety from tho disease could only be employed by drinking water that had been boiled full twenty minutes. The theory that filters would prevent the presence of typhoid germs in tho drinking water was altogether discredited, and nothing but boiling, and boiling for a good, long time at that, was deemed a sufficient safeguard. At one time although schools wero supplied with filters, the
children were compelled to bring their own supply of drinking water from their homes or do without as the health department insisted upon the water being shut off. Such a clamor went up, however, over this rule that it was
soon abandoned, and the filters were restored with the understanding that
unusual, vigilence be exercised in the cleansing of the same.
Fortunately the schools of Hammond are closed now and parents can in a greater measuro supervise their children's consumption of water. But as the
typhoid season is liable to be prolonged until late in the fall, judging by past experiences, it will bo well for the school officials to bear well in mind the dangers that lurk in the water and when the schools resume in the fall, seo to it
that everything possible has been done and will continue to be done to prevent
he further spread of the disease. THE VALUE OF PLAY GROUNDS.

CENTRAL LEAGUE.
Th play ground Idea which is being so successfully worked out in Chicago should bo adopted lu Hammond and the other cities of tho Calumet region.
There is no truer saying than. "An idle brain is the devils workshop" and it is little wonder that the boy sometimes finds his only excitement learning to smoke
or in the perusal of the yellow backed dreadful.
Tho idea of the playground is to offer children some diversion that will
satisfy in a natural manner their craving for excitement. There is the swimming
pool in which the child may learn to swim without the dangers of the average "swimming hole," affording him a chance to take frequent baths at the same
time.
Thero is tho gymnastic apparatus such as the ladders, the trapese, the
horizontal bars, tho turning bar, the horses. There are the baskets for basket
ball and the nets for the playing of tennis.
In addition to giving the boy a place to play and develope himself physically it keeps him among the best class of associates. Of course there are good
boys and bad boys just as thero are good men and bad men but the good boy
by learning early lu life the great lesson of adaptability without compromise
will lay tho foundation of a successful future.
The playground becomes the little world of the minor. Thero ho is forced
to win his way among his playmates by hi prowess in athletics or perhaps by
his skill in diplomacy until he becomes the undisputed leader of them all.
On some play grounds the boys are taught object lessons in self government
An election is held every so often and the boys then choose leaders in the various departments of their activity. They learn to abide by rules which they themselves have adopted and they are punishd for their refusal to do so. "What Hammond needs is a play ground situated where it would be accessible to the greatest number of the boys of the city. Instead of having to pay fortunes for the land as they have had to do in Chicago, the land may bo purchased at a comparatively small cost. The city would profit by it In good citizenship and in the boys that it would save from a useless or perhaps criminal life, until to measure the good that would be dono would be Impossible.

Gabe mistrusted that the summons was the commencement of an action for debt against him. Instead it was a notification to him to appear as a witness in the trial of Dr. Blowkey vs. Jim Jiggers for the collection of an old bill of $5 for curing a colicky cow. Gabe spent the night in the barn hay loft. Next day when he learned thef acts lie was out of sorts with himself. However, his pleurisy was gone, but whether it was owing to the shock given him by Constable Janery, or to the finishing touches of the faith curist, he is unable to determine.
The I ukiu.les C ut of All. Gad Godfrey, our genial resident,
whose weakness is a fondness for in
toxicants, has been given the unkindest cut of all, and by his wife at that.
This week she notified the public, through the Hay Press not to give
credit to her husband on her account.
This is a unique reversal of custom. Generally it is the husband who noti
fies the public not to trust his wife. When Pete read the notice he regallv filled up and went home with a

Sunday DesecratorH Are Scored. Members of the Bob Roy Golf club are exercised over the sermon preached by Rev. AVilliam Tuttle, pastor of the Zlon church, last Sunday, in which he denounced Sabbath ball games and golf playing. The golf players are, more nettled over Rev. Tuttle's criticisms than the ball fans are. For as. the parson pointed out, not much can be expected from either the players or spectators of ball games. But golfers come from the fashionable element. They are people who have money, and wealthy people are regarded as more cultured than the unmonied. It takes money to support golf links. Golfing is no cheap skate game. Rev. Tuttle soundly reasoned that golfers being more cultured and of a gentler nature than ball players, they
were consequently setting a bad example in desecrating the Sabbatii byplaying golf. 'Moreover," he said, "we can't hope to make any headway against Sunday ball playing when cultivated and fashionable people are skidooing over golf links, knocking

The Hammond team will line up against the Mutuals of Chicago next Sunday and will have to put up a superb article of ball to get away with this contest.

Oa land and on sea, at noon, at twilight, in the ballroom and in tho death chamber lovers have wooed and will continue to woo so long as tho human race is on the earth. Johnny Bounce was a clerk lu a department store in a large city. He sold goods from the men's underwear counter, which adjoined the department of ladies' hosiery. Johnny's place was ou the right of the underwear, and oa the loft of the ladies' hosiery stood Lucy Crowfutt. a dainty blond, who from the moment she bad taken her place there and had brought Ler robin's egg eyes to bear upon 'him had melted a way with them straight into the underwear clerk's heart. They bad found opportunity to ppeak scattered sentences or fragments of sentences on bright days when the store was full
of customers aud to chat continuously on rainy days when the store was desorted, but in this chat there was no word of love. Iove had been looked, but not spoken. Nevertheless, after several weeks of propinquity, the two young hearts had become welded. Then came a new man at the clove counter, directly opposite the men's underwear and ladies' hosiery, lie was Ryronic In his npiHurauce, . especially his collar, which, if It wa not cut in Ilyroulc collar fashion, was
