GOODS

Holidays

The need of a baseball field in Ham

mond, which vrill be enclosed and provided with a comfortable grandatand, itu never more apparent than it is at the present time.

. .There la not only the newly organised

Hammond Atheltlc dab which now has a membership clone to seventy-live and

will have track, baseball and football teams, but there la the baaeball team

of tbe Hammond Regrulara which, during the coining; year, will be one of

the best that has ever represented the city of Hammond.

Already there have been series of

three games arranged with Tipton,

Logansport, Fayette, Wabash, Peru and Rensselaer Part of these games will be played at Hammond and the sched

ule is to be extended to some other Inliana cities.

Good Ad for Hammond. This will be a great advertisement for the city of Hammond and, in fact, the business men of many cities have so much faith in the advertising that a good baseball team gives a city that they will pay the expenses of one during the season. The Hammond Regulars do not ask that. They are about to purchase the equipment for a team which will cost

ln the neighborhood of 3o0. Not a

cent of this money will be solicited from the business men. They do think, however, that the city of Hammond should have a good ath

letic field which would be open to the high school teams, the teams representing the Hammond Athletic club,

the Hammond Regular's baseball team

and any other regular credited athletic

organization.

The street car company and the

business men of Hammond could then

be Induced to put a fence around it and build the necessary grand stand

and dressing rooms.

It is argued that this would give

athletics a great impetus in Hammond

and would make this city a leader in the small park movement In this part

of Indiana.

The' team which will represent the

Hammond Regulars" this year is com

posed of the following men. Wagner

of Hammond, catcher; McMahon of

Hammond, Schultz of Crown Point,

and Myers of Hobart, pitchers; Clabby, of Hammond, first base; Hartley of

East Chicago, second base; J. Dunsing

of Hammond, shortstop; Rhode of Ham

mond, third base; Sheerer of Hammond,

left field; McCay of Valparaiso, center

field; Haage of Hammond, right field,

and Sternberg of Hammond, substi

tute.

The hurried bolting of imperfectly

i cnewea rooa is now Known iu do me primary cause of the chronic and ag

gravated form of indigestion known

as dypepsia.

Specialists say that there is one re

liable way to treat indigestion and

dyspepsia. eat slowly, shun rich foods, and take a neutralizing elixir

or cordial to correct acidity and aid

nature in getting rid of such infectious germs as the food may contain.

A good neutralizing elixir can be

made up at home as follows: Get

from your druggist hi once solium phosphate and an ounce essence of sealmint. Mix this thoroughly irt a half pint bottle with 4 teaspoonful baking soda, adding pure water to fill

thie bottle. Take two teaspoonfuls be

fore each meal. It is claimed by those

who have tried it that this simple

mixture will stop fermentation . at

once and give quick relief from gas.

There is reason to believe that it has

permanently cured many obstinate

cases of dyspepsia. Any one is free to use this formula and make up the medicine for himself at home. Cer

tainly it is well worth the trying, es

pecially since all the Ingredients can

be had at any druggist's at a cost of

about 60 or 65 cents.

Standing Of Candidates

:Pf effernuesser Lebkuchen and Marcipan are three great German specials, always in demand for the holiday season from one end of the country to the other, but no German need be told this, for he knows it very well. Pfeffenmesse in looks resemble figs but they taste quite differently, a different proposition altogether. It is the dish to be found on the table of the king and the leading lights of Germany at this season.. These specials are the product of the F. C. DIETRICH Bakery and can be had in any quantities desired ,they are all considered especially fine, in fact they are sci- - entifically prepared. However, the American delicacies have not been neglected. You will find that Mr. Dietrich has made "especial preparations for the man or the woman who does not depart from the strict American dish. Among the large line of bakery goods he will have on hand in big varieties may be mentioned beside bread and pies of all kinds, Jelly Rolls, Angle Food, Jelly Tarts, Cream Rolls, Sponge Drops, r Cream Puffs, Honey Cake, Vanilla Wafers, Cookies, Cocoanut and practically all kinds of cake.
