how to eliminate the fat.
What is there, then, that reduces the
fat safely? What pleasant inexpensive article is there on druggist's shelves that can reduce a pound a day without

At the meeting of the Gary Commer
cial club yesterday afternoon In the
Gary hotel, there were several topics
which precipitated much discussion and
certain amount of action. A com
mittee was appointed by Vice Preei
dent W. H. Fitzgerald, who sat in
President Norton's chair for the day,
for the purpose of taking the neces
sary steps to secure free delivery, This committee consists of Harry Call,
H. H. Highlands and Thomas E,
Knotts.
This committee will be expected to
forward to the government und also
to Congressman Crumpacker, a state
ment of the condition of affairs and
urge upon them the necessity of im
mediate action. This they will do at
once, although it is not expected that they will receive a hearing In the near future. In regard to this matter Postmaster Call stated that everyhlng possible had been done to bring to the no
tice of the government officials the
condition of the Gary office, and he did
not believe anything could be done to push it forward more rapidly.
Wilt Vlsrht for Court. Another thing brought to the atten
tion of the club was the fight which is being waged by the people of Gary for a superior court in this city. The matter was brought up for discussion by President Fitzgerald of the real es
tate board, who informed the club that the directors of that body had taken the matter into consideration and that they had appointed a committee for the
purpose of acting jointly with a like body from other organizations.
Upon motion therefore, a committee
of the Commercial club was selected which met with the Retail Merchants'
association and urged them to select another committee last night. It is expected : that there will be committees appointed from each of the four
organizations in the city, if it has not
already been done. These are the Com
mercial club, the Keal estate Board, the Merchants' association, and the Contractors' association.
All. of .these committees will then
meet as one committee to take up the
matter of securing a superior court.
Mr. Fitzgerald of the Commercial club
and the real estate board has been ap
pointed temporary chairman and has
called a meeting for Saturday night.
Will Collect Data.
The duty of this committee will be
to collect data on the congested con
dition of the courts of this county and
then to ascertain what amount of cases arise in Gary. Also to study into the question of expense to the attorneys who are now compelled to go to Hammond or Crown Point to try their
cases.
With this information In hand they
Washington, D. C. Dec. 3. The com
mittees on appropriations have a larger
problem before them. The estimates
for the regular expenses of the government for the next fiscal year which are now in foreshadow a billion dollar session. The demand for special and extraordinary appropriations was never
greater. All this, too, in the face of a
shrinking treasury. A rivers and har-
wlll meet here next week, will be
bors bill is due at this session. The
national rivers and harbors congress, which will meet here next week, will
be Insistent in a demand for a large appropriation for Internal water way improvements.. Unquestionably the public wants to see the work of developing the inland water ways started on
a large scale, but the question, "Where
is the money to come from?" confronts congress. In the prospectus of its coming meeting the rivers and harbors congress gives prominence to the declaration of President-elect Taft at Chicago last fall, that he favors an appro
priation of $50,000,000 a year. Various water way projects will be urged In congress, but none with more nergy than that of the lakes-to-the-gulf. Unless the present program is set aside there will be no financial or banking legislation at the coming session. The "monetary commission may make a partial report, but at present it has no thought of attempting to get a bill passed before the long session of the next congress. The amendments proposed to the Sherman anti-trust law last winter are still pending, but there is small prospect that they will be considered even in committee at the coming session. Will Be Tart ft Talk.
Tariff revision will be the subject
uppermost in the minds of most of the
senators and representatives during the short session. The ways and means committee will be at - work preparing
the bill it will present to the extra session, and the finance committee of the senate will be putting its Ideas into tariff legislation on paper. The house
membershp or that part of it which will appear in the new congress will have the subject of reorganization to talk about. The way things are drifting now indicates that the old question of revising the rules will get more
advance attention than ever before. Whether it will get any when the criti
cal moment arrives Is another , question.

East Chicago, Ind., Dec. 3. The first
carload of furniture for East Chicago's
new city hall has arrived, and all day
yesterday the city employes were bus
ily engaged in -watching Its transfer Into the municipal offices. Desks for the city engineer and his assistant, Chief of Police Higgins, Clerk Spencer and Treasurer Slocomb comprised the
shipment, and the offices of these de
partments will be opened to the pub
lic within the next two or three days
For the first time since the erection
of the building, the city hall was last
night flooded with light. Sergeant Bowen was rejoicing behind a brand
new oak desk, of modern design, and
smiling broadly whenever any one
commented upon the beauty of the fix
tures. His department was the first
one to move from the old building or shack and the boys are proud of their achievement. Chief of Police Higgins'
office has been furnished with a splen
did low roll-top desk and swinging
chair. The department files have been
removed to this room and will be main
tained only for the inspection of the
officers of the department and the
press.
The council is enthusiastic over the apearance of the building and is mak
ing plans for its formal opening to the
public. Within , the next two weeks
dance will be given, to which a nominal
admission fee will be charged. The proceeds of this function will be devoted to purchasing books for the proposed library room, which promises to
be one of the commendable features of
the new building. About six hundred
dollars has been raised for the enter
tainment of the public ej. such a function, although this amount will not be necessary. Th dancing will be held on the upper floor of the building and
refreshments will e served downstairs. An inspection of all the offices will follow and the public will
no doubt be as proud of the interior of the building as the officials themselves. The entire outlay of furniture for the building amounted to approximately $7,850, and the material was purchased from A. H. Revell & Co.
