larger attendance than ever. Invitations have been extended to the clergy of Hammond. ; One of the most unique attractions that have ever been booked here is .known as "The AVorld's Travel Festival." This has been showing at the Studebaker theater all summer. It also appeared at the Garriok in Philadelphia. "The Travel Festival" is a series of jinoving pictures,, In which the interest Is augmented by a faithful production l.of the sounds which might be expect ed to accompany the various pictures shown. "The Gay Morning Glories" broke all records for the house, and the company in point of attendance. The show was given on Saturday night, and did a splendid business. . On Sunday the "Lion and the Mouse" played to a good sized audience, and In view of the fact that over fifty of the patrons of the show took occasion to compliment the .manager of the theater and the show on the excellence of the attraction It must have given satisfaction. TUCKER Oil FLYING TRIP TO HAMMOND State Pure Food Inspector Here on a Secret Mission Today. Frank Tucker, friend of the house wife as state pure food Inspector, &x rived in Hammond this morning'to begin an investigation along lines which he is not yet ready to make public, but which have been pointed out to him. . Mr. Tucker commented on an article in Collier's Weekly recently which referred to a new system adopted in a Massachusetts city. In the high school of the Massachusetts city the students in chemistry are encouraged to buy food articles in the open market and bring them to the school for a chemical examination to test their purity. The teacher of the students has been made a member of the 'board of health, and as such has authority to bring legal action as a result of findings made by himself and students. The system is said to be very . effective and will un doubtedly be copied in other progres sive cities. Discussing the weight system in preference to the measure system for the purchase of food articles. Inspector Tucker said he felt confident that the time is not far distant when.the meas ure system will be abolished entirely in favor of the weight system. A re cent Indiana law, which will go In ef fect soon, makes it prohibitive for dealer- to retail goods by the measure system which he bought by weight and vice versa. $ SPARTAN. has achieved its infancy what the Parks of Chicago did at maturity, every night bringing a new one, and so the crowds grow and grow.

THINGS QUIET VON RAILROADS "Things are moving remarkably slow in railroad circles Just at present," said one of the ticket agents in a down town office yesterday, "although this is not indicative of a general slump. The reason for the 'air of solitude' In our office is due to the fact that practicallv every one who takes a vacation is spending his ten days or two weeks 3 the ' case may be, and consequently, there being litle other traveling uurint, the hot days, the receipts have fallen off." This year the traveling public has assumed enormous proportions and tha roads wefre greatly taxed during the month of June and July.
