SOME THINGS TEE COUNCIL SHOULD CONSIDER. Hammond business men and Hammond citizens in particular and Lake County in general are anxious that the Indiana and Chicago traction company be given a franchise so that it can connect the heart of Hammond with Crown Point and the fertile farming country that intervenes. Of these facts the Board of Public Works and the city council are fully cognizant. It is both an important and a vital matter for Hammond. The people of the city should bring all the influence to bear upon the city council that they possibly can. The Hoard of Public Works evidently doesn't want to take the initiative. It has receded from the position it took earlier in the fight that It would make the company use the loop and is now willing to leave It to the city council. The alderman should stand by their guns and let the Indiana and Chicago Traction company come into the city without FORCING them to make an entrance on another company's lines. When such men as C. W. Hotchklss and W. J. J jams come into a city with a business proposition, they are entitled to consideration and marked consideration at that. Mr. Hotchkiss ha3 done a lot for Hammond, he is doing a lot for Hammond and he intends to do a lot more for Hammond. If the council could put the

question to a referendum vote of the

pose they would vote. Why overwhelmingly to permit the new intemrban company to come into Hammond. The promise of such a man as Mr. Hotchkiss that construction work between Crown Point and Hammond would begin as soon as Hammond gave the company a franchise, ought to be enough.

NEW SOCIETY REPORTING. Newspaper society reporting in these heathen parts seems to be in its

primeval stage. A good many quips papers that chronicle the social doings sex, but so far it has not been our ver Post's account of a social function

Indiana's hard-working society reporters will gasp with amazement when

they try to imagine what would happen to their copy were they to follow

suit. Here is the Post's story of a function: "Mrs. Louis Spartlen was lively in a light lacey something, that was neither pink nor white, but made her eyes and hair seem blacker and more beautiful. Miss Rice, the southern girl who is so popular at present, was poured into a blue cloth gown with an opera coat of the same rich material. "Society women have found out first they usually do that $30 worth of hair only makes one look cheap, and they are laying theirs away in moth balls. Mrs. Gerald Hughes and Mrs. Barry Sullivan had such a respectably small amount of puffs on last night that they were a joy to look upon. "Mrs. Hughes and she and her fine young husband billed and cooed all evening, as they always do wore a pink satin evening gown. Mrs. Hill in her most superb moments never had a bos party with so many men in it. Mrs. Hughes and Mrs. Sullivan had four all evening, and could hardly keep the others in. boxes near them from sticking their heads into their box. It was like a picture of a debutante's dream come true. "Mrs. John Morey has the richest looking opera coat in Denver. It is white and (what a relief) it is in good taste! It isn't a kimono, either and had nary a gaudy thing upon it. Miss Marie Keller wore black last night and looked much older than she is."

We can only hold our breath when we think of Miss Rice, as she was poured into her blue gown, or choke with amazement as the Hughe3 billed

and cooed in print and imagine Mrs. which couldn't be told from a kimono. but oh you Denver Post's. TO DISCUSS

That the world is giving more and more attention to the betterment of the human race is proved by the interest that distinguished men are giving

to the improvement of mankind. At

of delegates from nearly all parts of the "United States and Canada, among them noted philanthropists, settlement workers, prison reformers and heads of asylums and reformatories, considerable public interest attaches to the

tRirty-sixth annual session of the National Conference of Charities and Cor

rection, which had its formal opening. days, during which time a wide range The conference has no duplicate in 1S74, wlih an attendance of about

membership has grown to 2,000 and its value and influence have increased in even greater ratio. The country wide effort to stamp out tuberculosis wa3 begun by the conference, so also was the playground movement, as well as the effect to solve the problem of overcrowding of people in city tenements, the betterment of the system of jails, almshouses and other institutions for dependents. Some of the subjects scheduled for discussion at the present meeting are the social betterment of country communities, the cocaine evil, medical supervision of schools, the diet of tuberculosis patients, the responsibilities of the health officer, the problem of the immigrant and the proper fields for State and private charities.

NEW LAWS FOR OKLAHOMA. Nearly 100 laws enacted by the last session of the Oklahoma legislature became effective today. A large number of them are measures of purely local interest and many others are measures carrying appropriations for the fiscal year beginning June 30. Among the measures of general interest and importance are a primary and election law, a law preventing the issuance of script as pay by corporations, a uniform law on negotiable instruments, child labor and juvenile court laws, and the measures creating a miners' lieu, prohibiting the screening of coal before weighing, Mixing a penalty for converting interest on public money to private use, and requiring foreign corporations to maintain resident State agents at the seat of government. Among the new laws of a miscellaneous character are those making it a felony to give or sell intoxicating liquor to persons of unsound mind, making it a felony to sell fruit trees or shrubs by misrepresentation, authorizing the creation and incorporation of trade insurance companies, and protecting benevolent and charitable organizations in the use ad display of their emblems and names.

earttolteart Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE.

Copyright, 1909, by American Press Asso-"-ciatiou. THE SECRET. Does the world owe a man a living? Yes and do. It owes him a chance to earn a living, and. having given him the chance, he owes the world the service necessary to earn his living. It was said in the beginning that a man mast earn his bread by the sweat of his brow, not by the sweat of some other man's brow. But some men eat bread for which no sweat has been expended. And that is not the worst of It There are those who steal another man's opportunity to earn bread and by so doing steal the bread out of that man's mouth. But, thank goodness, few men are en tirely denied the chance to sweat for their bread. What pinches most of us is this: We are crowded out of our oppor tunity to do what we would like to do. We are forced to take up an un congenial task. We are willing to work, but we want to select the job. Well, it is rather pitiful, but We cannot all of us be awarded the task we prefer. We may theorize and declaim on what society ought to bo and ought to do, but after all our theories we must face things as they are and make the best of them. Some philosophers say the secret of human happiness is only to be found In the doing of the work one most de. sires to do. That is to be doubted. Happiness may be found that way, other things being equal, for it is undeniable there is a certain joy in a chosen task. But there is another way in which happiness may be found comparative happiness, for all happiness is com paratlve and it is a deeper happiness than the mere joy of congenial labors. That way is to do what thy hand findeth to do do It cheerfully and heartily, and be therewith content. Ah. my friend, if yon are bravely doing the task that is next to yon. denying yourself, sacrificing yourself, and if you are well satisfied to do that task manfully, ungrudingly, until you can do better, yon have got close to the secret. It is a mighty poor philosophy that comforts only the man who gets every' thing he wishes for. THIS DATE IN HISTORY.

His first experience as an arctic explorer was gained in 1891, when he went north as surgeon o he acted as surgean to the Belgium antarctic expedition In 1S97. Dr. Cook started on his present expedition to th far north in the summer of 1907. II wintered on the Greenland coast, and In the last letter received from him, date March 7, 190S, he was about to make dash for the pole. He was then forty miles north of Cape Thomas Hubbard on the Polar sea. It was his plan to re turn last autumn and his failure to d so has caused considerable alarm among his friends. RANDOM THINGS AND FLINGS Merely a Dream. I dreamed I went to Paradise, far from this vale so dark, and havin reached that happy land I sought th baseball park; they charged me noth ing at the gate, but led me blithel In, and murmured, as I took my seat "The home team's sure to win." winged fan beside me sat, with th grand stand's shade, consuming pearl peanuts and ambrosial lemonade; asked him why the shining hosts al wore such happy grins; "in heave here," the fan replied, "the home team always wins.' The game was nicely under way when I fell out of bed, and busted nearly all my slats, and fairly spoiled my head; forgetting I was back on earth, I cried: 'How was the game?"

TAKES IMPORTANT ACTION.

Probably the most important action' taken by the general synod of the Lutheran church of the United States in session at Richmond, was that when a thesis presented by Dr. L. S. Keyser of Canal Dover, O.. bearing; on the differences In confession basis between the general synod and the general council. was approved and adopted by a rising vote. In this strong way the svnod went on record as to the genuinness of its Lutherism. AUNT ALEMATED THEM. Declaring that the love of an aunt, Miss Jennie Sharpless of South Bend, for her nephew was so strong that he would frequently faint when he was due from the office in order that he would remain at her home, Mrs. Frances Miller, a bride of a year, charges her of robbing her of all the pleasures of wedded life and is fighting for a divorce. The case is attracting much attention because of the prominence of the family. VOTES DRY AGAIN.

"You are a real optimist!" she said joyfully. "No, ma'am," said Mr. Kirke with rtproaehful decision. "If I give you any reason to think I am going back on the Methodist church that I was raised and brought up in, I'm sorry; you've mistook my talk.

TOImproper mixing of foods is a common cause of dietetic troubles. Certain classes of foods are comparatively compatible, others the reverse. Naturally acid fruits go well together apples, peaches, lemons, oranges but It would be better to take lemons alone or apples alone for the best effect. All cereals are compatible, and they are the nearest to nuts, wheat being very similar in its albumen and corn and oats having also a small per cent, of oil as the nut has a large pe tage. Flesh foods are com vvith eah other. Cereals a milk are fairly compatible, especially as the cereal breaks up the indigestible casein Into finer particles. Acid fruits are not compatible with milk or cereals or vegetables. Each food requires special digestive action.
