GARY DRUGGISTS HALED IIITOJE COURT Inspector Frank Tucker Charges Them With Pure Food Law Violations. State Pure Food Inspector Prank W Tucker qiiietly slipped into Gary last evening and th,is morning warrants were sworn out for the proprietors of three Gary drugstores for violating the pure food laws by not properly labeling their patent medicines. Those who were arrested were Joseph Millstone, proprietor- of the International Drug Store in . the Calumet building; J. Kahn, of the Economical Drug Store at the corner of Seventeenth avenue and Broadway, and Paul L. Lener, who recently located on South Broadway. According to Mr. Tucker the three proprietors had been warned about selling the medicines which were not properly labeled the last time he visited the city. "I try to be fair in every instance to every person who is governed by the pure food laws," said Mr. Tucker to a reporter this morning, "but aft,- t I have given frequent warnings and there is no attempt to stop these violations, I would consider, that I was violating my oath of office if I did not make these arrests. in patent medicines the "medicinal properties should appear so that a customer would know w nat ne was buying and if the medicine contained any injurious insrredlnt, One of the worst patent medicines is paragoric which contains alcohol, morphine and cocaine. A small child becomes restless and the mother gives the child paragoric not knowing of the deadly opiates it contains, whereas of the medicine was properly labeled much of this would be overcome."

BURNS DITCH IS ASSURED (Continued from Page One.V railroads must build and maintain bridges across the Burns ditch and reliese the property owners, of this expense. INVOLVES A MILLIOX. It is a decision Involving hundreds of thousands of dollars and insures the building of the Burns ditch beyond peradventure. It is a distinct victory for the city of Gary which, with the completion of the ditch, will have an Eden of truck gardens at its back door instead of the marsh wihch yearly inundates the land. The abstract of the decisions is as follows: "21541. Chicago & Erie Rail- i road company vs. Joseph D. Luddington et al. Porter C. C. Affirmed. .Monks C. J. TEXT OP rECISIOX. "A railroad company acquires its right of way subject to the right. of the state to extend public ditches across the same and subject to the condition that it must place, keep and maintain its road across said public ditch in sucn condition as not unnecessarily to Impair the usefulness of such ditch, and o as not to interfere with the free use thereof. 2. The rights of a railroad as to its crossing over a public ditch, established after a railroad is built, are subject to the same duties as are its rights in a highway which it crosses." As the lawyers say, "This is new law," and it is of great interest to the score or more of attorneys who have been interested In one way or another in this Burns case.
