A camp of Royal Neighbors of America was reorganized here by Mrs. Barringer, organizer, in K. of P. hall, Thursday afternoon. Ten new members were initiated into the mysteries of the order. Some new members of Shelby camp were in attendance. After the routine of work was over refreshments were served and a fine social time is reported. Is An Auxiliary. The Royal Neighbors is an auxiliary
fraternal insurance order to the Mod
ern W oodmen of America and is in a
very flourishing condition throughou
the United States. Following is the list of officers elected: Oracle Dollie Ragon. V. oracle Laura Zartman. Past oracle Kate Wood. Chancellor Lilly Chapman. Recorder Etta Sanders.

Today fourteen samples of soft drinks manufactured in and around Gary will be shipped to the state chemist by
Health Officer T. B. Templin, for analysis. If any of them are found tc contain ingredients contrary to the state pure food law, which Dr. Templin has reason to believe is true it is likely that the dealers handling the
goods will be prosecuted. In the samples were sodas of all kinds of flavors, ginger ail, pop, and miscellaneous other articles. In Gary there are three factories manufacturing these articles. The class of goods manufactured by them do not seem to come up to the standard, which resulted in the town board taking up the matter with the health officer. It was reported to the board that they are manufacturing their stuff with impure surface water which is pumped from a few feet below. Point of Good Quality. The coloring matter it is also charged is the worst that could be possibly used and also in violation of the state law. It is said that when a person recently drinking red pop allowed the liquid to run on his chin, it was found almost impossible to get the coloring matter off from his face which had come from the pop. Another instance of its ill effects was brought to light on the steamer E. II. Gary when it was bound for Gary. One of the passengers had occasion to drink some pop which is sold in Gary and it made I the man desperately sick for a few ' minutes.
After the results are obtained from Indianapolis steps will be taken at once to force drink dealers to handle a good quality of goods or they will be prosecuted. The people of Gary have suffered
from the ill effects of the poisonous stuff until they are up in revolt against the sale of the impure liquids.
A new corporation is about to be formed in Gary and will be known as
the Gary Building. Savings and Loan association. The articles of incorporation will be filed by attorneys In a few days at Indianapolis. The new concern is being backed by A. D. Shaefer, and its object is to establish a banking business, to build houses and other
purposes of a like nature. Many of the most prominent business men of
the city are backing the project, among
them being John McFadden, M. M. Duchich, John A. Brennan, TV. A. Cain, Thomas E. Knotts, John Paschak, 'Wil
liam Fitzegarld, R. W. Tittle, and M.
Jarabec.
Stork ban Bern Raised. The new organization nas already
raised, it is said, something like $5,000 worth of stock and the money is still
coming in. It is not known what they
will capitalize at, at the present time. Mr. Shaefer has been working on this project for the past few days and has
met with great success. They intend
to assist in releaving the house string
ency which exists in Gary at the pres
ent time as soon as they are ready for
business. Any matter that has that object in view is readily taken up by
the people of Gary, who realize the ne
cessity of preparing for the demand that is destined to swamp the city in
a few weeks.

Johnson, the East Chicago contractor, was awarded the contract last night at a special meeting of the council for the construction of the city's new fire station, designed by Architect Hutton of Hammond.

GLASS SMASHER BUSY
Gary Jewelry Store Rob
bery a Fluke Through Fear of Thieves.
The jewelry store of Fred L. Bald
win of Gary was attacked in the same manner as that of Bastar & McGarry in Hammond, last night at 11:45, when a man threw a brick through the plate glass and was frightened away before he could carry the Job into execution. There were several watches and considerable jewelry in the window and it was all within easy reach, but the thieves were not as game as those in Hammond and they did not get their booty even after they had gone far enough to break the window. Pike Baldwin lives over the jewelry store and had just returned home when he heard the crash of glass and, running down stairs, frightened the men away, he coincidence of his presence in the vicinity was all that saved the loss of several b.undred dollars worth of goods. This is the second affair which has been pulled off by a set of thieves who are thought to infest Gary, and the first case was that of the Paine-Marr company, which suffered the loss of a plate glass window and two revolvers.

East Chicago, Ind., July 31. (Special) Mr. Burton Clapper had quite a serious operation performe don his right arm yesterday morning at St. Margaret's hospital. Some time ago Mr. Clapper got a small scratch on his hand while at work, but thought nothing of it. A few days ago, however, a sore appeared on his elbow and got worse so rapidly that he was compelled to go to the hospital yesterday and have an operation performed. It was a clear case of blood poisoning, and it will be some time before Mr. Clapper will be able to use his arm again. Mr. Clapper's family is in Clear Lake, Mich., for the summer and his house being empty, Herman Flarher suggested that Burt he brought to his rooms on ills arrival from St. Margaret's hospital. This plan was car
ried out and now Herman has two patients on his hands, as Mack Foland, who was hurt a few days ago, is also with him. The two invalids can now entertain or vondole with each as the case may be.
