Trude, sued for $27 for one month's supply of face powder, has made out this list of "beauty wants," which she says are necessary for every woman to buy yearly: Perfume and toilet water.... $ 600 Face powder 450 Manicure bills.............. 200 Hairdresser's bills 350 All other cosmetic 273 - Total .... v. 7.I1ST5 Mrs. Trude says she practices economy in all her buying. She keeps her silk stocking bill down to "$75 a month. By buying carefully. she says, her hats do. not cost her more than $1200 a year. She declares that money spent for the best shoes is economy. She says she is not hard on shoes, and usually her shoe bill does not go over $175 a year. St. Louis Times. ; PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 12. Without work for months, Harry Fisher and Walter Davis sold theibodies to the University of Pennsyl vania for future, delivery. St. Louis Times. v The two articles above are taken from the same page of The St. Louis Times of Aug. 12, S911. They raise the very interesting .question, "What is a necessity?" A good woman recently sent a let ter of thanks to God, via a religious weekly, for $3.65 left by a deceased runcle, and during the same wee a New York broker jumped oft o Brooklyn Bridge because he had only $17,500 left. Abraham Lincoln walked 15 mil?3 to buy a book when he was getting -something like 40 cents a day; and Thomas McQuillen, a Philadelphia sport, with no use for a book and plenty of use what Honest Abe had mighty little of, sold his grandfath er's library of 17,000 volumes lor $850 te-fepend on a lady friend. What a necessity is depends upon the mental capacity of the person who uses it, and the line between necessities and luxuries wanders and shifts like the bed of the Calumet River. Certain things are necessities to the ill and useless to the healthy, im-J portant to the hungry and throw i' away by the full-paunched. An ice wagon is a necessity to the business of an ice dealer and a blooming nuisance to anybody else. A pair of earmuffs in the Sahara is of value only to the Joke writer on the Khartoum Gazette, but they come in handy on the Yukon. HOW ABOUT HEGEWISCH. Lest they are forgetting about it, we would like to make a few inquiries about that Ilegewlsch extension. What has become of, Ilegewisch street car talk that filled the air a few months ago? When is the line going to be built, or is it ever going to be built? All the Eighth Ward is interested in jthis subject, but right now everything seems to be at a standstill. Why this lull, in

Hammond, Gary, Whiting, Hegewisch Burnham and Pullman are all connected up by an interurban. The business on the line has increased so tht the Illinois Central has put on a business man's special from Gary, and regular Illinois Central suburban passenger cars are coupled on to the interurban motors and hauled to Kensington, where they are hooked on to Illinois Central trains and brought down town. All that heavy traffic is being car us ried away from South Chicago on to Chicago and South Chicago business men are at the same time making a desperate effort to build up home trade and to bring trade from nearby localities. The building of the Hegewisch extension would serve as the greatest trade booster of the decade for South Chicago. The Hegewisch street car exten sion can and should be built. Keen at the traction company until It does start work. Don't give them any rest, or breathing spells in which they can cook up new excuses. South Chicago Calumet. THE BARNACLES BUSY. There seems to be some apprehen sion in certain parts of the city of Hammond lest the announcement of the Schlessinger site purchased be but. a scheme to benefit real estate dealers. This is ridiculous. It was the same way with the Baldwin Loco motive works. There were plenty of people who declared that the sale of the land was effected merely to give real estate dealers a chance to un load. This class of people is the barnacle class. It is made up of those who hang on to the coat tails of others It consists of the billious knocker and the business dyspeptic. Simply have patience, you can't go out and put up a colossal factory the same as you would go out in the yard and build a rabbit hutch. And if you hear Homebody knock ing tell them to Jump in their holes and pull the holes In after them. CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. There was considerable discussion at the last meeting of the Hammond Chamber of Commerce as to the feasibility of attempting to build a Chamber of Commerce building. Some of the members were inclined to be conservative about the mat ter but there were a large number otj the leading members of the club who are convinced that' the project could be made a splendid success and that in this way the local civic organiza tion could be put on a solid founda tion. Rev. C. J. Sharp pointed out that It would be a great deal easier to finance a Chamber of Commerce build ing than it is to finance a church building project or a club project. It is proposed to secure temporary quarters in a suitable location and then start right out on the building plan. It is proposed to purchase n piece of high grade real estate not less than 50 feet of frontage and on a corner, if possible. On this property it is proposed that the Hammond Chamber of Commerce erect a four story building. The first floor would be devoted to store room purposes .the second floor wu'.d be rented out for office rooms and the third and fourth floors would be used for club purposes. The suggestion is made that the organiaztion get a sis months option Jon a desirable piece of property and

. ,

then start a stock selling campaign among the members.

It is believed that $40,000 worth ol! stock could be sold without any difficulty. Bonds could then be issu ed to the amount of $40,000 and a building could be built that not only would be a credit to the city but which would be a good investment for those who. took stock in the enterprise. Competent business men have esti mated that such a building could be made to pay 5 per cent net to the stockholders and would give the Hammond Chamber of Commerce 6plendid quarters rent free. Such a project would do more to Hammond the real center of the region than anything that has yst been suggested. It would have the effect of uniting the community in the interests of its civic development. Judge Virgil S. Reiter, the presi dent of the Hammond Chamber, of Commerce, believes that this project can be carried to a successful consummation with the cooperation of such men as Peter W. Meyn, C. J. Sharp, John E .Fitzgerald and others who have declared the project feasible the city ought to have a new building in the process, of erection next spring . . FOLLY OF TEMPORIZING. It seems that Rev. Cissel the min ister whose conduct with an Indi anapolis woman at Minneapolis re cently has been under suspicion for some time and In commenting on the fact the Marion Chronicle says: A church makes a mistake by temporizing with the case of, a minister whose conduct is either immoral or indiscreet. If common rumor is to be believed the Kokomo minister who has Just unfrocked himself under accusations of infraction of , the moral and criminal law at Minneapolis, has for several years been under suspicion. There is a natural hesitancy about handling cases of this kind, but the churches deserve protection from leaders whose inconsistent conduct brings reproach upon religion. It seems pretty evident that Mr. Cissell ought to have been eliminated from the pulpit a long time ago. READ of a man who was robbed of $500 all he had saved up for the wed ding. He is going to go ahead and get married anyway. It has often been pointed out that there are peo Die who don't take any stock in hunches, but there's a man who can truthfully say he wasn't forearmed. UNDOUBTEDLY Judge Becker is simply tickled to death that he is not besieged with applications for the Baltimore convention on account of its long distance from this dear old Lake County. WOMEN are to wear longer4 coats next winter. This doesn t interest us at all. If the edict was that thiy should wear the same coats they did last winter that would make a hit with us. FARMERS are more Interested each morning in seeing how many more inches their com has grown during the night rather than the number of delegates Taft has got. FOR the love of Mike wont some body please contribute a few old clothes to cover up poor Mr. Roosevelt's naked- issue that he writer about so tenderly in the Outlook. CALIFORNIA woman has been granted a divorce, alimony and the custody of the dog. Both the hua band and the dog seem to be lucky In this case, so let it go at that. THIEF stole a roast of beef from a refrigerator. Can't see how some people can be so careless of their valuables. Proper place for a roast of beef is in the safe. FUNNY part of it is, lots of peo pie in Chicago think it is a plain old fashioned prizefight just like they used to have at Tattersall s year3 ago. AN 80 year old disciple of eugenics wailed for an heir and his wife gav him twins. And thus you see that even eugenics can go too far. LADY. Yes it was a typographical error.

GREAT as our local great are they have to be content with the titles of assistant doorkeepers and deputy ush ers or stay out altogether. NOW DATS the pe-pull must imitate the rich whereas ten or fifteen years go they were contented to have the id-fashioned stomach ache and now they are not satisfied now unless its the appendicitis with the doc's bill at a highly respectable figure.

Jim Patten. Superfluous advice, Jim. to give to the docs if you know them as well as the newspaper hoys do. SEEING that 25,000 Indlanlans want seat at the national convention it will be up to the Lake county patriots as being the nearest to Chicago to step back as there ought to be few seats left for the delegates. HAZEL NUTT, who is clerking in an Indiana Harbor department store, and whose gent friend is a certain party who works in the Buffington cement mills, says that Us ideas are ideally concrete, but that they are all stuck together. Headquarters of Milwaukee Dele gation. Edelweiss Cafe, Chicago. Dear Editor: Arrived here last night to cover the national convention for this column and they are certainly treating me fine. I prefer to be here rather than with the Indiana delegation as the Chicago water does not agree with me. It costs me $20 today.. Among the Lake county visitors is Judge Huber, who came in to see Mr. McKlnley about buying the steam roller after he is through using it. The judge figures that it will be Just the thing for his Eagle Creek road con tracts. Heard that Tim Englehart was up here to offer the natfonal committee $500,000 if they hold the next convention in Ridge road. Better send me another hundred as the coin goes fast. HENNERY COLDBOTTLE.

YOU GOTTA QUIT KICKIN' MY COW AROUN'," CRY THOSE GEORGIA FARMERS.

War, erooi war, impends in certain sections of the erstwhile peaceful southland. The battlecries of the opposing forces reverberate in the quiet Georgia hills. On one hmand is heard the determined slogan, "Down witb the obnoxious bovine:" on tlje other the plaintive war-cry. "You gotta quit kickin' my cow aroun'." The trouble arises from the fact that cows have been running at large in Georgia, to the great anoyance of automobilists and people In the towns generally. Many Georgia towns have passed ordinances aimed to keep cows off the street, and it looks as if the practice would soon be abolished entirely. Cow owners, however, are strenuously objecting to the new order.

ECONOMIC VALUE OF TEETH '.cm .of Tooth Impairs Health and Decrease Person's Ability as -Producer. When I tell you that tte loss .'? tooth from the Jaws of a person ini California is a matter which afftatsi th" prosperity of a person, any par-, son, in New York, you will probably; think I am crazy or jesting, but I am; not The prosperity of a nation depends) on the efficiency of the producers inj the nation. At their highest degree oC efficiency, with every producer doing; his work to the limit of his working: ability, the nation would be enjoying the greatest material proiperity pos sible. No nation ever has reached thiaj point because the efficiency of all itai I producers Is never at the maximum. Many things lower the efficiency o producers, but nothing contributes;' more to this than the physical condl' tion of the producer. Any departure from the perfect physical condition,1 lowers the efficiency of a person. Thisi may be carried to the point where ai producer becomes a non-producer. Nq matter how valuable a producer a per on may be, when they are sick in bedj they become non-producers. When a person is, at his or her best, only aj partial producer, that Is, unable to dq as much work as the average for thatj kind of work, it does not take mucbj physical deterioration to make them non-producers. All non-producers are clothed, fed and warmed at the expense of pro ducers. Criminals, insane persons, the! aged, children, the crippled and de.' formed and the sick, are all non-pro-ducers and maintained by the work of the producers. More bodily ills are due to what .we; eat, how much we eat, and how we ea( it, than any other one cauie. AH the: long train of digestive disorders from plain "stomach-ache" to appendicitis, all diseases of faulty cell-life la the body, such as cancers, pyorrhoea tU veolaris, rheumatism, gout, and a host) of other diseases, in fact, ths greafl majority of all human diseases may? be traced to the same fundamental atarting point of: What you eat, how much of it you eat, and how you eat It. . Digestion of food begins in the mouth. For this part of digestion) to be accomplished perfectly, the food! must be thoroughly chewed. The food can not be thoroughly chewed unless the teeth in the mouth are In good condition, and every tooth lost or dls eased diminishes the ability of that) person to chew the food thoroughly; If the food is not properly chewed, dii gestion is not perfect. If digestion is not perfect, assimilation is not perfect If assimilation is not perfect, the per Bon la not in perfect health. A person in imperfect health has decreased In ability as a producer. A partial pro duoer decreases the material wealth of the nation. Therefore, the loss ofl a tooth Is more than a loss to the in dividual from whose mouth the tooth was removed. It is a distinct loss to the nation. Which is what I started) out to prove to you.
