THE WEEK OF HALLOWE'EX. A pretty way to entertain la the golden weather of October is to vary the usual Hallowe'en frolic by blending it with a leaf party, eaya the Housekeeper. The hostess has now opportunity, abore all others, for beautiful and elaborate decorations at small expense, for nothing is prettier for decorative purposes than natural

foliage, and the woods at this season are showing their richest colorings. Gather the various colored leaves and form trailing chains and garlands which wind about the balustrades and above the doors and windows. A bay window may be transformed into a shady bower by having a generous supply of vines, leaves and potted plants gracefully arranged and a dash of yerllow suggestive of Hallowe'en may be employed by using yellow flowers. In this nook cover the floors with leaves for a leafy bower carpet. An artistic setting could be given the feast by covering the table with a tloth apparently ot leaves. A piece of green tarlatan forms the ounadtioa upon which have leaves thickly sewn, overlapping each other and radiating from the center in all directions. A single stitch in the center of each leaf will be sufficient to hold It in place, eo the making is not at all difficult. Fruit Is ever an attractive center olece for the dining table. A large bowl or dish lined with leaves, around the base of which-vines are twisted Intermingled with gay yellow flowrs will be suitable to hold clusters of different hued grapes, pineapples, pears and apples. Serve the salad in a nest of lettuce leaves, and have the Ices of pistachio, jfBen. as little- leaves would be unique and 'pleasing, line- the nut bowls and bonbon dishes with leaves and serve sweet cider with a sprig of mint in each glass. Pumpkins and black cats always suggest the night of October 31. There are pumpkins to be had large enough for a child to curl up In and others so small that they can be put In a teacup. Use the latter scooped out as candle shades. Black cats may be shown on the guest cards, while Jitle stuffed velvet ones are well chosen for favors. The time-honored Hallowe'en games must not be forgotten, these inter spersed with a leaf contest would prove an enjoyable way to amuse the guests. For this contest there should be In readiness a large basket of leaves tied with bright ribbon, con taining' as many leaves as possible, no two being alike. Distribute the cards and pencils among the guests, then pass the leaves around one by one while each persons writes on his card, opposite the number correspondg to that attached to the leaf, what kind he thinks It is. "When all have been examined the hostess reads her num bered list aloud. The contestants cor rect their own lists. The prize may be a picture of a forest, and a palm leaf fan tied with a bow of yellow ribbon will make a good booby prize. The Hallowe'en party invitations sent out by one hostess were a long scroll of brown paper over which yellow pumpkins and corn stalks were done in water colors. They read thus: At the sign of the jack o'lantern yellow and bright We'll expect you sure on Saturday night. The oracles, fates and hobgoblins, too. Are busy preparing a fate for you. Then there was the name of the hostess, the hour and date. These scrolls were rolled, tied with red and yellow ribbons and fastened with a dab of sealing wax. VISITIXG RELATIVES HERE.

SCIENCE Is applied In our dairy. We have more than complied with the state pure food law. Still our prices are no higher than you pay elsewhere. THE HAMMOND DAISY CO. Cor. Oakley Ave. and Clinton St.

have been seeing great crowds during their entire tour, wondered where, In this scattered city, so many peopl came from. Crown Point, Lowell, Creston, Hobart, Toleston, East Chicago, and Whiting all sent by delegations. Mr. Taft's speech was a summing up of the reasons for supporting the republican party. ' He told of the very apparent Improvement of conditions over the country and stated that a continuation of the prosperity that has been in evidence for the past twelve years could only be certain through the continuing in power of a republican administration. Speech Cat Short.

Just after Mr. Taft had been compelled to cut his speech short on ac count of the effect that the night air was having on it. Congressman E. D Crumpacker started to speak when through some mistake in the signal that was given to the engineer the train started before Mr. Congressman Crumpacker could finish his speech. Mr. Taft was greeted enthusiasticly, but the crowd refrained from cheer ing during his speech, on account of his voice. - When he finished, Mr. Crum packer started to speak immediately and again there was no opportunity to cheer the great statesman, but when the train pulled out the cheering was vociferous and hundreds who had not even heard the speaker were loud in their applause. After the Taft special had pulled out for Gary, it went to Gibson and from there over the Lake Shore road to Its destination, the great steel city. It was then that the special train from Ham mond pulled up at the depot and be tween five and six hundred people boarded the eight coaches and followed the. republican chief to Gary. In fact the contribution of the Hani mond republicans to the Gary celebration was remarkable and shows the spirit of the republicans In this city. The Hammond crowd was headed by Pugh's splendid band. A most original feature of the parade was an artificial elephant which was carried around on the shoulders of two Hammond young men. It brought forth a storm of ap plause all along the line from Hammond to Gary. It was the most unique thing that has yet been attempted and was the idea of Harvey Godfrey of this city. In all of that magnificent parade there was not a feature, including Gary's steam roller, which brought back memories of the republican convention at Chicago, which made more of a hit. The .Hammond crowd took a promi nent place in the parade and with the large quantity of red, white and blue fire, which they had on hand, together with the hundreds of torches; the local representation in the parade was as brilliant as any other part of it. The hundreds who went from Ham mond, did not get to hear the speeches at Gary, but they were satisfied and happy. They wandered up and down the streets having a good time, and for time it looked as though, there, were as many Hammondite in Gary as there were residents of the new city. HIE CAUSE OF GOLDS Good Advice Regarding the Prevention of Coughs and Colds. If people would only properly for tify and strengthen their system, about 98 per cent of coughs, colds and pneumonia might be avoided. These troub les are simply the result of weakness, which produces a catarrhal condition of the mucous membrane, which is as an internal skin of the body. When this skin is weakened, it becomes in fected with germs which are carried through the system and break these delicate tissues and set up a soreness which produce what is in reality an external scrofula. The only thing that will cure coughs and colds and prevent pneumonia is a medication which is absorbed and carried by the -blood so that the diseased membrane is disinfected, cleaned. soothed and healed. We have a remedy which we hon estly believe infallable and unsurpassable for the prevention and cure of coughs, colds and all catarrhal condi tions. It is the prescription of a fam ous physician, wno nas an enviable reputation of 30 years of cures gained through the use of this medicine. We promise to either effect a cure in every case or make no charge for the medicine. We urge everybody in Hammond who has need of . such a medicine to try Rexall Mucu-Tone. It stands to reason that we could not afford to make such statements and give our own personal guarantee to this remedy if we were not absolutely positive that wc could substantiate our claim in every particular, and we see no reason wry anyone should hesitate to accept our offer and try it. We have two sizes of Rexall Mucu-Tone. Prices 50c. and $1.00 Sometimes a 50c bottle is sufficient for a cure. As a general thing, the most chronic case is cured with an average of three large bottles. Remember, the medicine will cost you nothing if you are not satisfied in every particular.
