AIL YOU NEED IS A CASGARET TONIGHT
No Sick Headache, Bilious Stomach, Coated Tongue or Constipated Bowels by morning.
Turn the rascals out the headache, the biliousness, the indigestion, the sick sour stomach a nd foul gases turn them out tonight and keep them out with Cascarets. Millions of men and Women take a Cascaret now and then and never know the misery caused by a lazy liver, clogged bowels or an upset stomach. Don't put in another day of distress. Iet Cascarets cleanse and regulate your stomach; remove the sour, undigested and fermenting food and that misery-making gas; take the excess bile from your liver and carry out of the system all the decomposed waste matter and poison in the intestines and bowels. Then you will feel great. A Cascaret tonight will surely straighten you out by mo rnin g They straighten you out by morning. They work while you slep. A 10-cent-box from any drug store means a clear head and cheerfulness for months. Children love to take Cascarets because "they taste good never grip or sicken.
Mrs. J. W. Ott charmingly entertained about thirty ladies at her Court street home yesterday afternoon. The luncheon tables were beautifully decorated in lavender and white and with the KngUsh violets the effect was of "spring" in spite cf the snow out of doors. After a delicious luncheon the Misses Peterson, Vernon and Ott gave
a musical program of vocal, violin and
piano selections, which added greatly to the pleasure of the assembled guests.

The street improvement will mean

Last night Dr. Boolittle was called to
the 'Hillyer home on Clark street and found things to be in an awful plight. The mother was very ill and a little
three-year-old girl has the pneumonia. After making the call the physician informed the police that "the family, consisting of the mother and Ave children, were both starving and freezing, as they had nothing to eat in the house or no coal with which to make a fire. The police took coal enough over to last the family until today, when the case will be taken up by the authorities. It is said by several who know the family that Mrs. Hillyer has battled bravely to keep the family together, trying her best to send them all to school to give them an education, and was always In hopes that her husband
would see the error of his ways and come home again to his wife and children and give them the necessities of life. Her health Is beginning to tell of the struggle she has been enduring through the long cold winter and is now consldrably broken down. The case will be referred to the authorities today, but it Is not known yet just what will be done.

Style Not Always Durability It is alvaTs possible to obtain stylish and jiretty piano cases at the expense of durability "and tone. But piano buyers are learning that it is a grave mistake to sacrifice durability and tone just for case beauty. To get the best results it is necessaiy to get the best piano. In buying a STRAUBE you are buying a piano that has been tested and tried and found up to the standard. Beautiful in case design; durable in' workmanship and material.

CRAZY HAH TURNED
LOOSE BY POLICE
Jacob Kobovlch the maniac who for
the past three weeks has been an in
mate of the East Chicago city Jail, Is
now a free man. Although declared insane by a board of Insanity commissioners composed of Irs. Raleigh Hale, G. "VV. Miller and Townsley. the man
was yesterday turned over to friends,
no provision having been made to care
for hin 'n a proper institution.
Attorney Joseph Meade had the pa
tlent before acting City Judge Twyman, after fruitless efforts to, have him tak
en to an institution for the insane, and
an order was issued by the court, releasing Kobovich to the custody of Stanislaus Wasloski of East Chicago,
Matt Punkoskl standing sponsor . for
his behavior. At the time he was re
leased the patient appeared to be en
joying a period of lucidity, but how long this may last, in view of past per
formance, is most uncertain.
"At the first indication of violence" Kobovich is to be rearrested. His first
act of violence may be to stick a knife
into the inevitable victim, the "inno
cent by-stander," but if he shows himself so little of a gentleman the victim
may get even with him by having him
rrested. The police are not especially
anxious for the job, but it was not up
o them to say whether the prisoner
hduld be detained or set free. Officers
Ed Shields and Barney Genensansky
arrested him on the last occasion of an outbreak and they had their hands full.
It took six officers to handle him on An
other occasion since, when he slipped out of his cell as an officer was enter-
ng it.
However as the great state of Indi
ana and the great county of Lake have
no provisions to look after their In
sane, the authorities seemed to think
that turning him loose was the only thing for them to do.
Surveyors for the Pennsylvania com
pany have been in and around Indiana Harbor the past few days marking out the lines of their rights of way In this
vicinity. The surveyors are in charge
of Fred Norland and have been at work
almost all winter through North town
ship, setting their monuments and
staking out their rights of way and
other properties.
For a long time, the local officials of
the railroad company have been after
the eastern contingent to extend their
switching facilities and occupy the rights of way owned by them but unequipped with tracks. - It was pointed
out that this extension was needed In
order to meet the opportunities presented by the growth and development of the region. It was also pointed out that other railroads were getting busi
ness that might go to the Pennsylvania, company, were the latter in a position to handle it.- There was a possibility
that some of the rights of way owned
by the company might he encroached
upon by other roads and by private, interests, and it was necessary that the railroad ascertain Just where It stood In regard to this matter. Fences are being built as rapidly as It Is possible to construct them and It is expected that rails will b laid over many of the strips as yet unoccupied.

The Commercial club of Indiana Har
bor and East Chicago has gone on rec
ord as favoring night schools in the
Twin cities, so declaring In a resolution
adopted at last night's meeting. Not only does the club approve of night
schools, but it approves of a more ad
vanced course of instruction than has hitherto been observed, and reccom-
mends that next year a technical course and Instruction in higher mathematics
be introduced.
The matter was brought to the at
tention of the club by a letter from H. A. Carpenter, pastor of the Christian
church who explained that he had tak
en a petition signed with forty names
requesting the opening of night school
in the Twin Cities, before the board of education but It had been turned down, and asking the support of the club to
carry out the project.
The letter was referred to the com
mittee on Education, consisting of Sup
erlntendent of schools E. N. Canine
Fred Fish, a member of the board of education and J. C. Dickson. Last night the committee reported to the club that when Mr. Carpenter's petition
reached the board of education It was too late to accomplish much by the opening of the night schools. That past experience had taught the "board
of education that It does lot pay to conduct night classes unless opened
early In the year and that had the petition been presented in the fall, It would undoubtedly have meet with favorable consideration. Discussion which followed the reading of the report led to the suggestion that the night schools might be better patronized by boys and young men who have had the advantages of the public schools through the eighth grade. If more advanced branches, and technical subjects were taught, instead of being patronized almost exclusively by foreigners whose main object is to acquire a knowledge of English. Resolutions were then Introduced making these suggestions a reccommendatlon. and also receommendIn the early opening of the night schools next fall. The resolutions were
adopted.

foothold on the "Y" men and with expert Instructions, such as the Corson plan which is now in progress, it Is
expected that some excellent swimmers will be developed. The Corson
plan divides the swimmer into four diff
erent classes. Beginners, swimmers,
leaders and life savers.
Mr. Corsan la an expert swimmer and
hails from Canada and will be seen in Gary in a short time. Instructor
