BETTER FAVOR A FINE BUILDING. The proposal to spend 15O;0O& for a county infirmary may strike some taxpayers as being rather a pretentious project. A good many people will measure tbis enterprise by some of the pigmy plans of previous days. They will fail to see how so large a sum of money can be required for just one of the county Institutions. They will fail to recognize the fact that the population of Lake county has more than doubled in the past ten years that many of these people live in the manufacturing cities in the northern pert of the county where poverty is always more prevalent. They will fall to see that the county councilmen and the county commissioners have caught the spirit of times and instead of building a makeship of an infirmary that would not possibly meet the future needs of the county and would have to be torn down in a few years; now plan one of the
most modern and up-to-date infirmaries in the country and one that can be
built oa the unit system so that it may be enlarged as the needs of the county require. ? The people of Lake county have got to get over being horrified at any
expenditure of money that exceeds $100,000. This is ft big county and big
things are expected of it. ., (
The infirmary ought to be built. Let's be charitable. We may have to

When the old G. H. Hammond company was conducting a packing plant in Hammond in the early days and cattle wre shipped in from the west, the poor animals frequently died on the way. They were taken to
the killing floor and skinned and later made their appearance in the can ning factory where th blue meat was converted into "corned beef."
Still born calves were sent to the same place and usually left it in
bright tin cans labeled "potted turkey." Other atrocities lead to th enact
inent of the federal meat inspection law. Thai was the father of the pure
food law. ;
An unresponsive congress was twenty years in putting a pure food law
on the statutes, but a satisfactory one was finally enacted. State legis
latures followed this by the enactment of similar laws and the creation of
the office of state pure food and drug inspector.
That is how it happens that Frank Tucker makf s frequent visits to the various cities of Indiana and makes it his business to point out to the people the atrocities that are practiced by the producers of food in this locality. Before Tucker introduced himself to this community the baker would knead his bread and then go to sleep on the kneading board while the bread was rising. Tucker put a stop to that. "i The butcher made sausage out of the scraps of meat that the people would not buy and the putridness of which was concealed by the use of strong spices. Tucker put a stop to that. The druggist sold consumption cures, cancer cures and obtained money under false pretenses in other ways. Sixty per cent solutions were sold as eighty per cent solutions. Tucker put a stop to that. Farmers milked their cows in filthy barns, strained the milk in through filthy rags and then kept it in filthy places unti it was shipped to the babies in the cities. Tucker put a stop to that. And so one reform after another has ben inaugurated until we wonder, nowadays, how people managed to live under $Jie old conditions. Those , who had the money bought pure food and the poor people consumed the death-laden articles of diet.
Xow the law says that all food must be pure. The law is protecting ...-. the victim of circumstances. It at least assures him of clean, wholesome nourishment. ( Conditions - are not yet ideal. There are still evidences of the old barbarous days. But the campaign of education is going on. The slaughter of innocents by "King Herod" milk "dealers It at least made a crime. The screen has been drawn from dirty kitchens in otherwise clean restaurants. And when you hear a merchant "complain of the severity of the new pure food law and the unreasonable attitude of the Inspector, take it for granted that he is against the new order of things,. that he Is a reactionist.

CORPORATION FURNISHES OPPORTUNITIES. The visit of James A. Farrell, president of the raited States Steel cor. portion, to Gary yesterday, brought the city face to face with the man who has risen from the humblest ranks to the executive chair of the greatest business organization the world has ever known. Farrell is still a young man in tb,e forties. It is not so long ago since he was an apprentice in the mills down around Pittsburgh. His predecessors, Schwab and Corey, also came up from the ranks. They never saw the-inside of a college. Twenty years from now there will be a chairman of the steel trust and a president seeded as will be heads of subsidiary companies. These positions will have to be filled. The race is open to all and we will gamble on it that some bright young man now working in the mills of Gary is going to be among those who woax the big titles la front of their names.

The police refused to kill the birds. Oil
residents say they never saw so many blackbirds before In all their lives. MCHT OK MEN KILLS GIRL. Augusta Lawowka, 15 years old, died of fright last night at Eouth BendWhile on her way home In company with a companion, Rosa Stparnzynska.
the girl saw two young men and, evidently, tainted. She died without recovering consciousness. According to Miss Sparnzynska, the men were In no way to blame for the girl's fright,1 a.j they made no threats ana nad no intention of molesting her. KILLED A WHITE PELICAJT. Henry Durham, a hunter and trapper living on the Ohio river at Mt. Vernon, killed a large white pelican, tha wings of which measured seven feet from tip to tip. Durham was walking along the river bank below the city and saw the b. bird sitting near the water, and thinking It was a white crane shot It. Not knowing what It was, he brought it te Mt. Vernon and was informed that it was a white pell-
can, the first ever seen In this part of the country.
