AN EDITOR GETS A NEW LID. Some grand soul presented Editor Zimmerman, of the Valparaiso Messenger, with a new Panama hat and Zirri tells the Btory in two "sticks." This is a professional outrage. The story is worth fully a. whole galley and on behalf of Zim's exchanges we rise to demand that the Messenger run on the first page a six-inch double column cut of Editor Zira wearing his new straw bonnet. We do not believe the story prevalent in Professor H. B. Brown's town to the effect that Editor Zimmerman is having holes punched in the lid so he can wear it with ear tab attachments through the entire winter, but even should be so decide, that is his business and not the jealous proletariat's.

MUNICIPAL MERGER ON ITS WAY. The step the Town of Hobart is about to take in annexing sixteen square miles of surrounding territory to be added to its present area of one and one-quarter miles calls attention to the fact, that if the plan is carried out, every acre in Hobart township will be within the limits of a municipal corporation. Flv4 years ago, when Gary was foundedthere was but one incorporated town in the townsiip. That was Hobart. Then four niilesxof lake coast and a similar tier f sections behind it became the corporation of Miller. Fearing annexation and possible unfavorable legislation the town of Aetna came into corporate existence. Following this a new settlement near Liverpool was incorporated as New Chicago and Lake Station shaking off the lethargy of a best part of a century became East Gary with the biggest territorial limits in the township, an area of ten square miles. "" "" XTHTer and its sister towns in the township have resisted all efforts on the part of Gary to become a part of that city. Since every acre in Hobart township will soon be part of some town or other, there is a new possibility suggested. It has been suggested in North township, where the merging into
one municipality the cities of Hammond, East Chicago and Whiting have been discussed. In Calumet township the towns of Clark and Tolleston and
the City of Gary have merged with the result that the suggestion became a reality. The suggestion is this: Would it be better and more economical for the five towns of Hobart township to become one municipal corporation? The answer will, perhaps be, not just now. But the day is coming when there will be a confederation of communities in North township, there now is one in Calumet and. as population increases and new interurbans tighten the links it will undoubtedly come in Hobart township. The possibility of every town and city in northern Lake county being merged into one city to be called Calumet has ben talked of more than once. All of the communities, are by the industrial growth and the natural increase in population being made into one continuous community, separated only by political boundaries and local pride. It is this local pride that keeps the political boundaries intact. Yet the day will come when that will be wiped out and one big city will be the result. But that time is Bomewhat distent. In the meantime there first will
take place a consolidation of the North township cities. And, the chances
ere that "none of the Hobart township corporations will become a part of Gary. They probably wil) later on merge. Then, with the rapid increase in population, industries and transportation facilities the way will be paved
, for the one big city.

NOT AFRAID OF PUBLICITY.
Some of the gory-shirt wavers simply bite great chunks out of the "interests" these days. As ever, they intimate that the corporations shun
publicity and do their deeds in darkness. One democratic sheet says the
United States Steel corporation is "afraid of newspapers and fearful of
publicity." " It ras but a few days ago that George W. Perkins, formerly of the -TfnrTof J. P. Morgan & Co. and influential in the management of the steel corporation, said: "I believe the mere question ef 'limelight' an important thing. Publicity, Ifiarmly think, would eradicate many of our troubles. If wo had a law providing that a corporation engaged in interstate business could register itself with a bureau here in Washington, submitting its prices, its balance sheets, its methods, its treatment cf labor, etc., and if these reports should be published, thus gaining the confidence of the public in the corporation's securities, the confidence of the corofTetitor that he was being fairly treated, and the confidence of the consumer that he was being fairly dealt with, I think that very soon all corporations would register themselves and that we should have publicity which would go a long way toward removing the evils of our great companies and preserving the good that already is self-evident in them."
IF JUDGE Crumpacker succeeded in getting a federal building for'Gary
on the information that the United States steer mills were rolling 4,500 tons of steel a month, what shouldn't he be able to get for Gary were he to give the facts that 4,500 tons a day were rolled or over a hundred thousand tons a month? That ought to bring the White House itself to Gary.

good, and possibly harm. But we must concede the fact that up to the
present time these agents are as effective as any we know to keep the
mouth comparatively clean and to
prevent accumulations in and around, and especially between the teeth.
While it is a recognized fact that
the Indiscriminate use of powders and mouth trashes is not the best for the
teeth and gums, still the use of tooth brushes, together with suitable pow
ders and washes is of great impor
tance. But the kind of medicinal
agent that each individual should use
should be left to some one -who is competent to Instruct the patient. As
to the particular means of applying this agent advice should also be given, as the teeth and gums in individuals
differ practically as much as their hair
and eyes.
The wash wfll pass between the
teeth, or at least it should pass be
tween most of the teeth, and in this
way take out the greatest portion of
food and other foreign matter that
may collect there. This collection dlf
fers in different individuals, depend
ing upon their relation to each other.
The different kinds of gum dis
ease demand different mouth washes
and often a patient will condemn
good mouth wash which falls to effect
a cure when the trouble is that it is not adapted to that diseased condition.
In diseases of the gum,. particularly in pyorrhea, it is well to massage the
gum. This is a splendid means of stimulating the tissue and causing it to creep forward in those places where it normally belongs. Before we
attempt gum massage we should see
that the teeth are as clean as possible
and that all foreign matter on the
roots is removed. Gum tissue will not adhere or lie in close adaptation to
the roots of teeth on which there is tartar or an accumulation of food
debris.
The best way to massage the gum is
with the thumb and fingers, rubbing
the gum toward the cutting edge of the tooth. There are few people that normally have clean mouths and' when one has learned to keep one's teeth
and gums in a healthy condition noth
ing can induce him to return to the
old habits of uncleanliness.

The Evening Chit-Chat
By RUTH CAMERON
There Is a certain species ef human
being which appears in large numbers just about now for which 1 have a very deep sympathy.
It Is the summer widower. Of course, one hears a good deal of
fun made of the summer widower in newspapers and summer theaters. In
these he is represented as blithely
singing, "My wife's gone to the coun
try,1' hurrah hurrah." or some similar
ditty, and preparing to have the time
of his life. But I have an idea that this kind of summer widower flourishes mainly in the papers and In vaudeville.

And more to be admired than either. For my part I'm sure I never ad

And I agree with you on that last. But- suppose you took the children away for a month.
