GARY BOARD HOLDS

IP 0BT1T MEETING Goddman Building Controversy is Brought up Before the Officials. BUILDING OFFICIAL IS GRILLED Gary Light Company Is Criticised for Not Having Lights on Broadway. At the regular meeting of the town board yesterday afternoon the nfatter f the unsafety of the Goodman buildng which was finished and turned over to the owner last fall, came to a head. The building which Is one of the largest in the city and stands between Sixth and Seventh avenues has been officially ondemned by the town board because of a deflection in the south wall of nearly five inches. Criticises BniMLng Official. The matter has been hanging fire for some time and yesterday the contractor, H. A. Paine, with his attorneys, Fetterer and Hall, appeared before the board to attempt to prove that the building was really safe. In the course of his address he charged that the building commissioner upon whose recommendation the building had been condemned was too rigid and tyranical and that he- insisted upon technicalities that were not necessary. He offered to put the building to a test by dumpng brick on the second floor to test the wall to the required strength and decide whether or not it is unsafe. "Sot Sustained by Board. The charges made against Mr. Kliver, however, were not sustained by the board who regarded his strict enforcement of the ordinances as of credit to himself. Mr. Kliver replied that upon no condition would he lift the ban from the building until the defect had been remedied and it was accepted by himself. He stated that Mr. Paine, In the meantime, was the cause of more trouble to himself than all of the rest of the contractors in the city. The deflection in the wall was caused by the pressure of sand against the wall when the mortar was still green and caused it to sag inward several inches. It will be necessary to replace the entire basement with a new wall and possibly part of the first story It is likely that Mr. Paine and Mr. Kliver will have a conference and will be able to decide how to remedy the defect. The building was Intended to be used for a department store. Light Company Jacked Up. Yesterday , the Gary Heat, Water & Light company was upbraided for not having their lights on Broadway, and Mr. Knotts spoke of them as a bunch of babies in refusing to deal with the Gary and Interurban. people directly in arranging for the use of their poles.

DUG THEIR DUTY

Scores of ' Hammond Read-i ers Are Learning the Duty of the Kidneys. To filter the blood is the kidneys duty. When they fail to do this the kid-, neys are sick. Backache and many kidney ills fol low; Urinary troubles, diabetes. Doan's Kidney Pills cure them all. Hammond people endorse our claim. . Mrs. J. W. Addy of 307 Indiana avenue, Hammond, says: "Why will women suffer from kidney disease and other allied troubles when they can obtain such a grand remedy as Doan's Kidney Pills. Perhaps they were like myself. I felt weak and miserable for a long time but never stopped to ask myself the question, "Are my kidneys the cause of my trouble? I went right, on suffering until at last I had to seek relief. I gave every remedy I thought would help me, a trial, but without being benefitted in the least. Finally I heard about Doan's Kidney. Pills and how many cases of kidney diseases, they had cured, after doctors had failed; I decided to try them and procured a box at Blcknell & Co's. drug store. , t improved soon after I began taking them, and before I had finished the. contents of one box the benefit I had received was unmistakable. I used in all three boxes and by that time I was cured. I advise all suffering as I did to try Doan's Kidney Pills." - For sale by all dealers. Price 60 cent3.
