THIS IS NOT NEIGHBORLY.

The report circulated that the Gary steel plant Is built on quick sand and is now sinking seems to be on a par with the rumor circulated at the time the gunboat Nashville made its trip from the Atlantic to Chicago . It was said

that it came with no other purpose than to bombard Montreal. This, many

good but ignorant Canadians believed and they were very nervous.

In no less a measure is the credulity of the people of the U. S. AMERI

CAN PEOPLE to be wondered at, than that of their northern brethern, vide!

Some outsiders visited Gary and observed a slight depression around the foundations of the mill building. Straightway they spread the report that the town, the plant, the mayor and ex-mayor Croilus and all the people were

in danger of being swallowed up any time.

This story has been widely circulated in Pittsburg and in the other eastern steel cities. Just now it is quite prevalent in South Chicago. You

know why it is circulated there if you think a minute. It appears when the "made land bill" was before the Illinois legislature certain interests, some

ot them from Gary, regardless of the wilfull misrepresentations, involved circulated far and near that South Chicago was decadent as far as her steel industry was concerned. This was far from the truth, as South Chicago being but. 13 miles from Gary and being also situated on Lake Michigan and the Calumet river, enjoys a strategic position equal to that of Gary. The

latter city, however, has the advantage of expansion as far as the XJ. S

Steel corporation is concerned. Both have, however, the same transporta

tion lacnities.

viv- Mivmiwcu w tuc t-ufCL mai oouin cxiicago was doomed it naturally hurt business and the real estate market there. The

facts being otherwise a betterment is now being experienced and the South

LMcagoans are piqued at the Gary people who misrepresented them.

10 retamate tney are now circulating the "quick-sand" stories about Gary with all the vigor they possess. A South Chicago newspaper is now

printing daily columns on the fact that Gary is liable to disappear anv time

But as these rumors are known to be false no one in Gary pays any atten-

uuu iu mem dui me soutn cmcagoans know that a widespread circulation

ot the story may do harm.

A RIGHT TO HIS CONSCIENCE.

Somewhat of a sensation was created over Indiana, when "dry" sleuths

ierretea out tne information that a professor in staid old Earlham College had voted "wet" in the recent election. In discussing the proposition, the

iaiayeue journal says:

lu"c6 leiuseu to dismiss jroressor Trueblood because he voted "wet" in the Wayne county campaign. The trustees of Earlham,

aunougu not agreeing with. Professor Erueblood, took the position that he was entitled to his own opinion. The trustees were satisfied that Professor Trueblood was honest in his belief that the best interests of temperance can be promoted by a licensed saloon. There is a general tendency thruoghout the state to commend Earlham for the action taken on resolutions demanding the professor's removal. The Indianapolis Star voices a sentiment that is expressed by several newspapers, when it eays: "Earlham's action in the case of Professor Trueblood, vindicates that sterling institution from the accusation of intalerance with which it was recently, and it appears unjustly, charged. Liberty of conscience is a thing that the rising generation should be taught by example as well as precept."

NO ONE TO BLAME BUT THEMSELVES. In commenting on the automobile race fiasco, II. E. Keough the well known sporting authority says today, only too truly. "The promoters of the Crown Point-Lowell automobile races can, if they wish, charge some of that deficit to the over zealousness of their bureau of publicity and the complacency of the. newspapers who accepted the extravagant estimates of the prospective attendance. The attendance would have been much larger had it not been predicted that It would be so large. No figures were too extravagant, and the more extravagant they were the better the press work. The result was that thousands who were deeply interested staid away through fear of being crushed to death, and that the attendance was made up largely of the amateur casualists who figured that the predictions of the avalanche of human beings was 80 per cent, hysterics."

INDIANA MUNICIPAL LEAGUE. Mayors and other officials of many of the chief cities of Indiana met at Lafayette today to exchange views on important municipal problems The occasion is the annual convention of the Indiana Municipal League. Joseph T. McNary, of Logansport, called the gathering to order this afternoon and Mayor Durgan of Lafayette delivered the address of welcome. Response for the visitors was made by Mayor Murphy of Wabash. The programme of papers and discussions will be taken up this evening and continued through Wednesday and Thursday. Some of the subjects slated for consideration are Civic improvement, the tramp problem, hygiene and sanitation, municipal ownership of public utilities, the present cities and towns law and the collecton and disposal of garbage. It ought to be and undoubtedly will be quite a democratic gathering.

Talks, By EDWIN A. NYE.

ICoprright, 1SDD. by American Press Asso- ' elation. HOW TO KELT YOUNG. Tbe way to keep young Is to keep young In spirit. That Is to say If you want to renew your spirit you should cultivate the things that make for youth Dew faces, new Ideas, new memories, new hopes, new enthusiasms. If. for Instance, you cultivate only the old memories, brooding over them In the chimney corner, excluding the memories of yesterday and last week, your mind will form the trick of following the old channels, and you will come to live on the old memories OrIf you -withdraw yourself from the new faces, shrink from sociability and, like a rat in his hole, issue forth only when you must, you will soon become a back number. Let this world alone for ever so short a time and it will let you alone for good and all. Or If you are inhospitable to new ideas your attention to the things of current Interest will soon grow calloused. The mind grows by what It feeds on. OrCease from your earnest endeavors, "retire from business," make no dans

Indulge no hopes of future accomplish

ments. What can you expect? You will age rapidly, both in body and in

spirit.

But if you keep a youthful soul bv

means of new memories, faces, ideas, hopes, you will not only keen old ace

in me DacKground, but you will hare

sympathy for the young and toler

ance.

You will not say, as so many elderly

persons are apt to say:

Well, people did things differently

wnen i was young. Manners and cus

toms were better in the cood old

days.

Rather you will ask yourself if you

really did do better in your day and

wnetner, after all, the world is not

growing better.

Above all. If you would keep youne

in spirit be careful your temper does not grow intractable. Do not become

irascible as you grow older. The man

ifestation of temper in an elderly per

son is not only very unbecoming, but it

Is dangerous to him who indulges it,

lou should have learned to control

your feelings. You should bare learned

how to cultivate the virtues of na

tience and tact and sympathy and

chanty.

And, if so, you will realize the truth

of the Scripture that, while "the outer

man decays, the inner man is renewed

day by day."

Grow old gracefully and graciously.

court of Arizona.

AS FAR AS CAN be ascertained, there are no white girls in this region who are giving Sunday school lessons to slant-eyed, degenerate Chinamen e have that much to be thankful for. The awful crime in New York where a young woman of fine family became infatuated with two Chinese at the cost of her life, is full of shocking details. There are however, young girls who are infatuated with white men almost as undesirable as the Chinamen and who are carrying on clandestine meetings with these fellows without the knowledge ofr their parents.

THE LATEST REPORT shows that there are 6,916 national banks in the country, with an aggregate authorized capital of $944,726 000 During April 26, banks, with total capital of $1,530,000, were authorized to do business. As is shown, many of the newer institutions have small capital. They are designed to meet requirements in communities heretofore without such facilities, and the whole showing points to a very desirable expansion THE NEW SENATORS from the west in their "insurging" are showing the old lady that the notion a new senator must be relent, Is absolutely ridiculous.

STRIKE STILL, OX. No statement came from either side yesterday to indicate any change in the Evansville care men's strike. Ben Commons, international organizer of the carmen, said that he was looking w-ith interest to the possibility that after Labor Commissioner Woerner'a report to Governor Marshall, some solution of the strike might be evolved. PREPARE I-'OU MAYOR'S COMIXG. Extensive preparations are being made for the nineteenth annual meeting of the Municipal league of Indiana, which meets in Lafayette, June 22, 23 and 24. A splendid program has been announced. The city officials of Lafayette are planning to show the visiting mayors and delegates warm hospitality and expect to make every minute Interesting and merry for them. DRY STILL ACTIVE.

Despite the recorm making and

drought breaking "wet" majority in La-

porte, the "drys" are maintaining cease

less vigalence in townships which were made "dry" by remonstrance, notwithstanding that several gave "wet"

majorities at the option election.

EE A R FOIL PLAY. The. Fort "Wayne police fear foul

play in the case of "Bill" Close, found dead at the foot of the Walton avenue bridge with a long, jagged wound in the back of his head. Close, who was 55 years old and a bachelor, was not

a drinking man and consequently it is not thought that he met his death as the result of accidently fallintr from

the bridge. It is presumed that his

death occurred some time early in the evening. The case is being investigated.

TAKES ROSEATE VIEW. A future without poverty and ignor

ance was promised by the Rev. Allan

B. Phllputt of the Central Christian church of Indianapolis during his speech in delivering the annual commencement week at the Terre Haute state normal. BAPTIST PASTOR RESIGXS. The Rev. A. A. Mainwarning has resigned his pastorate with the First Baptist church of Logansport, the resignation to take effect Sept. 1. The local congregation will begin immediately the work of selecting a successor, and several pastors will bo invited for trial sermons. The Rev. Mr. Mainwarning, after a course of lectures under Dr. George Abner Smith, the Egyptolo

gist, at Chicago University, will seek'

a pastorate elsewhere.

SALOOXS MAY KEEP OPEX. Owing to the presence of several thousand delegates, singers and excoursionists in Fort "Wayne in attendance at the meeting of the state Saengerfest of Indiana, German singing societies. Mayor W. J. Hosey granted a special dispensation to the saloons which enabled them to open at noon for the entertainment of the visitors and citizens. AVI UK PREVENTS feUCIDE. Douglass Shott, an Anderson railroad man, 34 years old. attempted to commit suicide in his home on Central avenue, the other morning, by slashing his throat with a razor. That he failed in his attempt is due to his wife who twice wrested the razor away from his grasp, ami was drenched with blood that spurted from the gashes in the

frenzied man's throat. REV. AVADE TAKES EXCEPTIOX. The Rev. R. J. Wade pastor of the Richmond First M. E. church, has made public a letter in which he takes strong exception to a sermon delivered there

by Rev. J. F. Vicker of Fort Wayne, before the state Sunday school convention. The objectionable portion was in reference to infant baptism, and was especially offensive to the Methodists, many of whom were present by invitation. TWO DROWXED IX S L GAR CREEK. Two persons lost their lives and another narrowly escaped a similar fate in Sugar Creek, four miles north of Crawfordsville, when Sidney Purcell, 18 years old, and his cousin, Finley Purcell, 1G years old, were drowned, and Luther Purcell, a brother of Finley, in attempting to save the two boys was almost drowned. SLIDE I'OIl LIFE DAXGEROl S. Harry Campbell, 21 years old. while giving a "slide for life" exhibition at a pleasure park north of Lafayette, was badly injured in a fall of sixty feet from a wire on which he was working. The wire snapped and Campbell fell m the river bank. He was taken to the hospital with a severely injured back. DECEIT COST HIS LIFE. John Hall, 16 years old, .was drowned this evening in a gravel pit near his home at Greentown. With four companions he had been swimming in the gravel pit most of the afternoon and had frequently deceived them into the belief that he was drowning.

The Day in Congress

(Monday, June 21, 1909.) SENATE, The amendment of the senate committee on finance taking hides from the free list and restoring the Dlngrley law of 15 per cent ad valorem, was before the senate all day, and it probably will not be 'disposed of before late tomorrow, if then. Senator Warren of Wyoming, and Senator Carter of Montana supported the provision and in vigorous language attacked the attitude of the free hide advocates, while Senator Page of Vermont, defended, the action of the house In placing hides on the free list. In support of free hides Mr. Page contended that such a policy would not injtire the farmers, while at the same time it would be of vast benefit to the leather manufacturers. He Bald the beef trust garnered all the profitis on hides from whatever source. At 7 o'clock the senate adjourned. HOUSE. Availing themselves of the presence of a quorum, the leaders of the house today obtained action upon several im

DAILY DIET HINTS By DR. T. J. ALLEN Food Specialist. COMMON SALT VS. SALT IN FOODS. Common salt should be used sparingly. The elements of salt, chlorine and sodium, are highly important In the economy of digestion and ceil nutrition, but the crude, mineral salt serves only as an Irritant, causing an excessive flow of saliva, which of course heightens the capacity for tasting whatever is in the mouth with it; but such a means of stimulating taste is both unnatural and unnecessary. Properly selected natural food with a natural appetite are the best conditions for the normal enjoyment of food. But common salt must be eliminated through the kidneys whose delicate organism It Irritates as Indicated by the abnormal thirst following the eating of much salt. Of course failure to drink enough water might be worse than eating much salt under certain circumstances. But wheat, nuts, lettuce, cabbage (uncooked always), milk, figs, contain ample chlorine to form gastric fluid and ample eodiurv and in natwral form.
