The Inland Steel company of Indiana Harbor yesterday awarded the contract for the building of the new private hos pital for the plant to Ingwald Moe, the Gary contractor. The price for the one-story building has not yet been fixed, as the Inland Steel company is in a position to furnish much of the material. The work on the building is expected to begin within a few days. BAKERY GOODS SPILLED OVER RAILROAD TRACKS. The bakery wagon belonging to Max Hirsch of the Toleston Bakery comwas upset this morning in Gary as it was crossing the interurban be tween Sixth and Seventh avenues. The driver escaped without injury, having suffered nothing more than the splatter of a cream puff across his face. While the goods were spilled all around the wagon they were not injured with the exception of a few dents here and re is some of the bones. ONE ON THE SIDE. The Gary nephew was showing his rural uncle all the wonders of the new steel city. "Well, Uncle Rufus, what what do you think of the town anyway?" said the Gary lad, looking up into the face of his long, lean, lank, bewiskered cunle. "Wonderful city, my boy," said Uncle Ruf, "but Its a little too fast for me. Where are you going to take me now." "Going up to the lightning picture studio and have your picture taken," responded the young man. "And what then?" "Why, then we will go over to the lightning shoe shining parlor and get a lightning shine and if you want to we can go across the street and get a lightning shave." "Gee-and then-?" "Why then we will go over to the restaurant and get one of those quick lunches and-" "I reckon that will be a little too swift for your Uncle Ruf," said the old man as he took a firmer hold on the little yellow satchel. '"If you have no objection I think I will take the lightexpress for home." TOLESTON. Mrs. August Rump and Miss Hattie Lederer were Gary visitors Wednes day.

HEARD BY RUBE.

A good. many of the foreigners in Gary think they have enough money and are leaving bag and baggage for the old country. It would be well from now on for people who have to expectorate to eithcarry their own cuspidor or walk near the edge of the sidewalk. Skeptical citizens in Gary hardly be lieve that the Broadway pavement will be finished before Decoration day next year. Socially speaking-are you able to attend all the doings. If Rip Van Winkle ever takes a no tion to take a twenty years' nap in Gary he had better locate his bed in the vicinity of Griffith or he would be in danger of being covered up with a ten-story building. The next thing the steel company will be doing will be manufacturing their own smoking tobacco. And K. Benjamin Klein has not seen the last of Officer Gus Newman. A stitch in time often saves the greater part of a bank account. There are one or two other people whom Benjy has not seen the last of either. "Why don't some enterprising person in Gary go over to Pine Station and get a corner on the Christmas tree market. The "burning love" we read about To some may seem quite funny; But the love we fear, Xmas near Is the kind that burns our money. If you have got to slip on the icy sidewalks you might as well cultivate the art of doing it gracefully. And now to cap the climax eggs are now selling at 3 cents apiece. There is one consolation in the fact that we can go back to pork and There are some women in Gary whose idea of a pretty hat is one costs lots of money, regardless of the cost. Up to the time of going to press there has been no counterfeit $15 bills been left at this office. GARY BRIEFS.

CLEAN THE SIDEWALKS

Snow May Cause Gary Dam age Suit This Coming Winter. One of the earliest ordinances that the people of Gary are demanding at this time is one to compel the property owners to clean their sidewalks from the snow. Incidentally such an ordi nance, it is argued,, would also protect the city against damage suits. Of course, up to the present time, the snowfall has been very light, but later on when the heavier snows are left to accumulate on the sidewalks, making them slippery and dangerous some ac tion ought to be taken by the town au thorlties to compel the owners to keep the walks clear, At the time the last snow fell it was not cleared off by some of the business men on Broadway, and as a conse-

quence there are sections of the walk the average being 84.6 per 100,000 popuby constant traffic have become lation. The city of Whiting has an very slippery and accidents are likely average death rate of 47.8 and East

to occur at any time, it would be well if the board took up this matter at its next regular meeting. SUFFER IN ACCIDENTS Two Foreigners Are Injured at East Chicago Mills. (Special to The Times.) East Chicago, Ind., Dec. 10.-Two ac cidents were reported from the offices of the Interstate Iron and Steel comin this city, last evening, when Jim Hodson, a foreigner residing on One Hundred and Forty-fourth street, received injuries which may yet cause the loss of his right hand. While working on the rolls Hodson managed to get his hand caught between a piece of metal and one of the steel posts. The ligaments of the hand were badly lacerated, although Hodson bore the pain stolidly while walking to the of fice of the company's physician. John Cleary of 4832 Olcott avenue was struck over the eye by one of the large bar mill crane hooks, the accioccurring about 7:30 o'clock. The victim's eye was badly inflammed and necessitated the attention of Dr. G. F. Blcknell, who declared that the sight was endangered. WANTS HIS MONEY BACK Indiana Harbor Foreigner Says He Is Short Two Hundred. (Special to The Times.) Indiana Harbor, Ind., Dec. 10.-Attor-I. Leon Gould yesterday filed a complaint on behalf of George Dumita foreigner residing on Deodar street, against Max Zimmerman, a saThe case has been filed in Judge Reiland's court, and demands the return of about $200, deposited with Zimmerman by the complainant. The suit, if accurate in its allegabrings to light a practice said to exist among the local saloonkeepin the foreign district. Dumitru is a laborer at the Inland steel mill, drawing a salary of about eighteen dollars each week. Of his amount Duhas been giving Zimmerman on an average of five dollars, to be held in trust until called for. This practice has been going on, says Attorney Gould, for almost ten months, with the result that Dumlru is now trying to locate his $200. Zimmerman was asked to reimburse the foreigner, but replied that Dumitru would have to sue for his money. "Why, he got the money a long, long time ago," Zimemrman is reported to have said, when asked what had been done with the deposits. The case will be tried before Judge G. E. Reiland tomorrow afternoon, at which time Attorney Gould believes he will prove to the court that Dumitru's claims are proper. "SHINY" FAT FOLKS. One of the fat woman's chief griefs in life is her shiny, greasy skin. If it be pimply besides, as it probably is (or may be), her cup of anguish is full. Powder and cosmetics simply hide these horrors for a season-a very short seaThey are not a cure for them. There Isn't any cure for them except getting rid of the grease beneath. When she does that she finds her complexion improves. In this way only can I account for the clear, natural complexion acquired by those who use the Marmola receipt: One-half ounce Marmola, 1/2 ounce Fluid Extract Cascara Armatic, 3 1/2 ounces Peppermint Water. By causing the excess flesh to be absorbed, it clears the blood of the globules of fat which, physicians say, cause the greasy, oily skin of the over-fat. This simple receipt makes a mixture both pleasant and harmless. It causes neither wrinkles nor stomach disturbIt is also quite inexpensive. Make it a point to iry some: take a skin does not quickly disappear. As you lose your fat your complexion

Cities Along Lake Michigan Will Look After There Most Valuable Asset-Pure Water

(Prom State Chemist's Report.) Is it not stronge that, in this country, at least, the development of our na tural resources, the building of cities, the creation of great industries, has almeant destruction of the natural purity of lakes, streams and under ground water? The cities along Lake Michigan are awakening to the fact that their most valuable civic asset, a pure water sup ply, is in great danger of being destroyed, and that already they have sacrificed hundreds of lives on the altar of ignorance and carlessness, and wasted at the sick bed and cemetery far greater resources that would have preserved their water supply in its pristine purity. For instance, it is claimed by the city board of health of Hammond that that city with its 24,000 population had this last year half as many cases of typhold fever as the whole city of Chi cago, with a population one hundred times as great. Statistics furnished by the board of health show that the typhoid death rate of Hammond for the years 1903 to 1907, inclusive, has reached a maximum of 140 per 100,000, and a minimum of 60, chicago 48 per 100.000 from typhoid. It has been accepted as a general rule tnat a continued typhoid death rate above 20 is an indication that someis at fault with the public water supply. The character of the lake water will shortly be influenced to a greater dethan at present by the opening of a canal water way which will connect Lake George and the Calumet river with the Lake at Indiana Harbor. Water works intakes in some in stances have been placed with the idea that the lake current would act as a protection to their water supply. This idea is a pronounced fallacy by Major W. V. Judson, Corps of Engineers of the war department, who has found no positive currents in Lake Michigan. The bottom of the Grand Calumet river is heavy clay but because of the continual deposition of organic mat ter and silt coming from the sewer outit is a mass of ooze its entire length. The chief local sources of the pollu tion of the water of Lake Michigan, in the vicinity of Lake county, are: 1. The discharge of the Calumet river and harbor water at Indiana Harinto the lake. 2. The discharge of local sewers into the lake. 3. The shore wash and the stirringsup of the bottom of the lake by winds and currents. 4. The dumping of dredged material. 5. Accidental pollution by steamsailing vessels and. other shipThe Calumet river is in reality an open trunk sewer running through the cities of Hammond and East Chicago. In some places, notably at the distilat Hammond, the column of obJ. BRYAN ARRESTED Former Presidential Candidate Charged With Law Breaking. Galveston, Texas, Dec. 9.-William Jennings Bryan and his party are charged today with having exceeded the limit of the law in killing mallard and canvass-back ducks at Lake Surprise. The law permits no one hunter to kill more than twenxy-five ducks in one day, and these he can neither sell nor ship. Lake Surprise is the game preserve of Banker Moody and is located in Chambers county. It is accessible only by water, and part of the route is through the private channel owned by Colonel Moody. The game warden of Chambers coun ty had been Informed that the Bryan party of four hunters were slaughterthe ducks. Gaining access to the preserve, he counted the dead ducks and found 145, an average of thirtyeight, or thirteen above the limit. It is said the three other members had been complimenting Bryan on his marksmanship and had credited him with half the number killed until the officer appeared, when Colonel Moody and his asociates declared that Bryan had killed less than twenty. Charges were preferred against the quartet. It is understood three of them will plead guilty to protect Bryan. BIG CORN SHOW NOW GOING ON AT OMAHA Omaha, Neb., Dec. 9.-With formal exercises in which the governors of half a dozen states and a number of other distinguished men took part the NaCorn exposition was opened in Omaha today, to continue until Dec 19. The exposition is undoubtedly the greatest display of corn and kindred products of the soil ever seen in this country. The exposition buildings cover three city blocks. In these buildings are displayed samples of corn, alfalfa and other grasses and grains and a variety of other exhibits, such as improved farm machinery and implements. The exhibits come from many parts of the United States and some from Canada and Mexico. The cereal displays from Texas, Minnesota, Illinois, Iowa, the tlve The work of the agricultural colleges

noxious, decomposing organic matter is very great and becomes a public nuisance. The fact that this stream of sewage flows directly through the city of Hamrenders life along its banks unand even dangerous. The most important, most damaging of these sewers is that at the Glucose works. The average daily discharge is about 2,300,000 gallons. The sewage

is in the form of wash and steep waters used in the preparation of grain and in the process of manufacture. It conlarge quantities of the nitrogeprinciples of the corn and other ingredients which evidently form an excellent culture media upon which baclive and multiply. The waste waalso deposits large amounts of the huck corn for some distance around the mouth of the outlet. This organic material in a decomposing and putrifying condition is found in quantities in front of the Hammond pumping station. The odor of purification emanating from this sewer is noticeable for a condistance and at time with northerly winds, passengers o ntrains passing through Robertsdale are made sick. The citizens of Hammond are beserved with a nitrogenous broth under the disguise of drinking water. The private six-foot sewer of the Standard Oil company, which discharges about 18,000,000 gallons daily into the lake, has an especially damaging inupon the water supply of WhitAs has already been shown, there are time when four-fifths of the water supply of the city is composed of this sewage. The water supply of Indiana Harbor and East Chicago is of much better quality than that of either Whiting or Hammond, but it is for from being of the desired quality, and it is affected by the harbor affluent of the Inland Steel company's plant. The whole territory covered in this investigation is polluted most of the time. After a careful analysis of all the data collected during this survey, it becomes readily apparent that the wasupplies of Indiana Harbor, East Chicago, Whiting and Hammond, as at present taken from the lake, are absoof no value from a sanitary standpoint and that they are not safe for drinking at any time of the year. The study of the distribution of the sewage also shows conclusively that it will be of no value to extend the in takes farter into the lake until the present sources of pollution are perma nently removed. No single municipality can hope ade quately to handle the situation. The problem of the purified and permanentpotable Lake Michigan can only be solved by the concerted efforts of ev ery city on the southern shore, aided by the joint action of the states of Illi nois and Indiana. To this end legis lation authorizing the establishment of a sanitary district is advisable and is suggested as the first step toward the bettermen of civic sanitary conditions of Lake county. on corn growing and kindred subjects by representatives of the United States department of agriculture and instrucof leading agricultural colleges Another interesting feature will be the judging contests for students of agrischools, for which prizes agseveral thousands dollars in value will be awarded. For the best displays of corn, wheat, oats, alfalfa and other crops a total of $50,000 will be distributed in premiums. The work of Judging the exhibits was commenced today and will continue until the close of the exhibition. Special railroad rates have been granted farmers throughout the middle west and southwest and the management expects a record-breaking attend ance. In addition to the farmers the visitors will include hundreds of commission men, implement dealers and others interested in grain growing. Latin the week the exposition will be visited by a delegation of several hunmen representing the Chicago Board of Trade. Similar delegations will also come from Minneapolis, St. Louis, Kansas City, Sioux City and other large centers. MUNSTER. Miss Myrtle Munster spent yesterday in Hammond visiting friends.
