No disease ever comes without a cause. What is the cause of yours? Many men bring on themselves the horrors of a life-long disease by unnatural habits, excesse3"or dissipation. Less common but sometimes the result of mental strain or business worry. No man so afnicted is free from daily incumberance. Mentally and physically he is not at his best. He therefore owes it to himself and to his family, to posterity and to society at large to consult a competent SPECIALIST and thus make the most of life and its infinate possibilities.

CAFF. HnlilOfi EARNS
HIS SALARYYESTERDAY
Hammond Officer Despite
Great Heat Captures . ,Six Autoists.
A procedure similar to that adopted at Chicago, It Is said, would soon remedy the conditions at the Hammond
lake front. A warning bell rould be rung every half hour to give the bathers warning when their hour is up. A fine at the rate of a cent a minute for overtime, it is said, would inaugurate a better discipline.
The lack of seats in the park is an
other lack of accommodations that cries
for remedy to every visitor. On big days the park is visited by hundreds of people, and yet less than 160 can sit on benches at once. In the west
half of the park there are no seats at
all, the public that wants to watch the
swimmers must simply stand until it is tired. These conditions call for improvement at once.
nathhonse Inadequate. The bathhouse at Hammond is abso
lutely Inadequate to meet the demands. The people from South Chicago, East
Side and Whiting monopolize a building that was built for Hammond people with the result that a citizen from Hammond is unable to secure the necesarry accommodation. Not only is the
Whiting bathhouse more adequate, but
it has some architectural beauty, while
the Hammond bathhouse is not a tenth
large entough.
But the Hammond park is cool and
comfortable. Its velvety lawns, shady
walks and excellent beach make it ex
ceedingly popular. The crowd at the park yesterday was orderly, too. There
was none of the rowdy conduct that Is usually expected when a large Sunday
crowd gets together.
But the lake front parks were not
the only ones to attract attention.
Harrison park was filled with people
who sought th open air to avoid the
heat and confinement of the house.
Even Douglas Park was visited by a
few people and may yet, in the dim and distant future, justify its purchase and
reflect credit upon its purchaser, the Hon. Patrick Reilly. former mayor Of
Hammond.
Beer Gardens Busy.
And then there were the various beer
gardens in the city. Kindels grove
was well patronized, as was Haehnels
and and a number of other smaller
places in the city.
Those who owned automobiles went to the cool and quiet country districts and spent the day. In fact, every one who had a dime or more to spend for
pleasure was able to get away from the city to some place or another where it
was cool and comfortable.
Captain Hanlon and his Indian motor
cycle put in a good day's work yesterday when he placed six automobile
parties under arrest for violating the
speed ordinance on Indiana boulevard.
They all appeared at the police station
with Captain Hanlon in the lead and
put up a $25 appearance bond.
The first motorist to pay his fine was
B. H. Briney, S524 Fir street. Indiana
Harbor. The case came up before Judge
Barnet in the city court and Briney
pleaded guilty, receiving a fine of $5 and
costs, amounting to $15, which was
paid. Briney was driving his car thirty-two miles an hour when arrested.
The other arrests are as follows: Wm
F. Harz. 127 Sast 26th street, Chicago,
111., driving 28 miles an hour; trial set
for July 14. Harz said his case would never come to trial and w-as released on
a yix bond.
The fastest machine belonging to Harry Gilmore, 4421 Indiana avenue, Chicago, was running at a rate of speed of 48 miles an hour when arrested, and
in a few places was going a little bet
ter than that," said Captain Hanlon this
morning. The date of trial was set for
July 14, at 9 o'clock, furnished a $25
bond. Paul Miller, 509 Brier place, Chicago
arrested while running 31 miles an hour; trial set for July 30, at 9 o'clock;
furnished a $20 bond.
Charles Craig, Elkhart, Ind., was driving 30 miles an hour; trial set for
July IS, and placed under a $25 appearance bond. William Kolb, J7th and Grand boule vard. Chicago, driving 30 miles an hour
furnished a $25 bond and trial set for
July 12, at 9 o clock.
"One machine was going 60 miles an hour T;th the gas and mufler wide open.' said Csptain Hanlon. "I followed up close to It for a two miles and would have captured them also if I
had not got a puncture."
LEAVE FOR ELK
CONVENTION Mayor John D. Smalley and Mr. and
Mrs. John F. Reilly left Saturday after
noon at 3 o'clock on the Chicago special for Atlantic City, where the Elks
are holding their grand lodge meeting
this week. The Hammond party expect to re turn in about ten days and will visit i
number of other eastern cities during
their stay. At Atlantic City the Hotel
Windsor will be the headquarters for the Indiana state reunion where the Hammond party and all Indiana men will Join at that place. Thte Indiana representatives at the big session have made elaborate preparations for the event. Uniforms consisting of blue serge suits and straw hats have been adopted by the Indiana Elks for the big parade which will be
