CURES ECZEMA QUICKLY.
If err Drug, Po.lam, Now Obtainable In Small Quantities. Since its discovery one year ago, the new drug, poslam, has successfully cured thousands of chronic cases of eczema and other distressing tkin afflictions.

This was to be an inconvenience to many thousands who use it for minor skin troubles, such as pimples, blackheads, herpes,
scaly scalp, complexion blemishes, itching feet, piles, etc., which require but
& small quantity to cure. The overcome this, and in response to urgent appeals, the dispensers of poslam have been obliged to adopt, la addition to the regular two-dollar package, a special fifty-cent size, which in future may be found on sale at J. W. Weis' and other leading drug stores In Hammond or may be ordered direct from the Emergency Laboratories, No. 32 West 25th Btreet, New Tork City. In all eczema cases poslim stops itching with first application, and proceeds to heal immediately; chronic cases being cured In two weeks.

HE GETS BOTH JOBS
LAKE COUNTY MEDICAL SOCIETY MET YESTEKDAY.
J. T. Hutton's Plans Select
ed for Harbor's School . and Police StationJ. T. Hutton of Hammond, who was
selected as the architect for a new
$55,000 school building which is to be built at Indiana Harbor, spoke of the undertaking today. The growth of the city has made a new school building necessary, and in view 'of the fact that
the Chicago, . Lake Shore and Eastern
railroad has agreed to the purchase of
the building between the tracks, another building will be necessary anyway. '
In fact, it is likely that within the
next year or two it will be decided to
build still another building. The
building which Mr. Hutton has design
ed is most modern and has all of the latest Improvements in school house construction.
Fire and Police Station, Too. .In addition to getting this contract,
which is a good one considering the
fact that hard times has almost stopped all work of construction, Mr. Hutton has been asked to draw plans for a new. police and fire station,, to be erected at Indiana .Harbor.
It will be remembered that when it was decided to build the East Chicago city hall at East Chicago Instead of Indiana Harbor, the people of the Harbor exacted the promise from the East Chicagoans that they be provided with a new building for these two city departments. The councilmen assented and the .building, of the fire and police station 4n, Indiana Harbor is the carrying out of this .promise. This. will make two new public buildings which will be added to the list of those already under construction in East Chicago, and it is expected, that the appearance of the city will be greatly Improved, by their construction.
