(Cootinasd from Page L
The Gary common council at a session that ran late into the evening last night did more business than a carpetbagger legislature used to do in a week. All kinds of legislation from tho creation of new jobs, the institution of laws that run amuck of the legislature, to the naming of commissions to buy park sites, to consider workhouses and to determine the advisability of digging another Panama canal In the heart of the city to cost a couple of million ram e up. The money spending mania " also took the form of naming a committee to buy two more automobiles for city officials. Gary To Have Canal Maybe. Of most importance if it is ever , carried out was the Gallagher resolution for the naming of a council committee to Investigate the feasabillty of digging a ship canal from Gary harbor to the Little Calumet river, the black dirt therefrom to be used In , coating the Miller sand dunes with park laws. The resolution was passed and the committee named.
Although the state legislature --' lt,tvT.tfvlty 1 '"r"11"" am grain

audience and Phil McLaughlin, "mayor
of Saxony," stepped - forward as the j floor leader for his neighbors. ' McLaughlin Floor Leader. It was the most informal meeting imaginable and entertaining even to the disinterested. For more than an hour the argument 'waged back and forth and at all times It was seasoned with wit and repartee5, but at no time whs the question lost sight of, for everybody was very much in interest about hearing the real merits of it. Phil McLaughlin raised question and what he did not think of was brought out by the other farmers. It should not be understood, ' however,
has I that while Mr. McLaughlin raised the
be I questions of apparent opposition to the
market, that at heart and as a practical farmer he is heartily In favor of it and that he hopes to see it a big success. , To Benefit All. He wanted to know first of all what guarantee the city sealer could give the farmers for. a market. To which the market master answered that he had the "personal assurance of hun
dreds of people and the very merchants
wh.o had opposed the market last year.
The whole attitude of the Hammond
merchants, he said, , is changed be
cause the market will be both for wholesale and retail business. The merchants, he argued, could ' buy
cheaper in the Hammond public mar
ket than In South Water street in Chi
cago, and, good business Judgment would force them to come to the farmer. The consumer gets the benefit in
that the merchant '"fcan charge a lower price without losing his proportionate profit, or he can go to the market him
self and buy as cheaply as the grocer
it depending of course on the amount
he purchases. Sentiment Unanimous. Another farmer in the audience ask ed what competition might be ex pected from the peddlers, one gentle
man being under the impression that
there were several hundred in Ham-
! mnnH 'Mr. O'Ronrke answered him bv
Advice tO Expectant Mothers J saying that there were not over twen

that the public market would force them to take up other lines of busi

-Phil McLaughlin raised the question
of farmers peddling on their way in to the market," pointing out that this
A
rising vote was taken as to what the
sentiment of the farmers would be in this matter and it was unanimously in favor of the city passing -an ordinance prohibiting the peddling during mar
ket hours. Attorney Robert Martin,
assistant city attorney, who was at the meeting, gave it as his opinion that
such an ordinance .would be. held legal
Mr. O'Rourke assured the farmers
that the city would, take all necessary steps to make the market . of mutual benefit, and that it would pass such ordinances from time to time as would
best serve all Interests
Phil McLaughlin made it plain that
there was nothing nentlmehtal about the project as far as the farmers are concerned. "It is a matter of dollars
and cents with us, just' as it is with you city folks, and if you can show us any advantages we are only too glad to take them," said McLaughlin. Mayor Smalley, who had intended to, be present at the meeting", was unable to be out on account of another previous engagement. In the Hammond party at the meeting were Market Master O'Rourke, Assistant City Attorney Robert Martin, former Hammond city sealer Jacob Friedman, now of Cast Chicago, Edward Dibos, and M. P.

sold by weight instead of dry measure the Gary council last night passed a law of Its own. Fees are also provided for inspecting weights, measures and as meters with all penalties for violating the law. Mayor Knotts will at once appoint a sealer who will get 11.500 a year. ' The Gas Valve Ordlnanee.
Second reading was given to an ordinance repealing the notorious gas valve ordinance, which a local gang sought to hoJd up ?,200 property owners for $50 each by means of a tampered ordinance. The new ordinance gives more leeway in the selection of .valves so that property owners don't have to buy from the gang. However, the new ordinance has a fool clause in It which would enable the gas valve gang to have a property owner arrested and fined as high as $300 If he didn't install a gas valve. The high penalty is objected to. Mayor Knotts stated to the council
EXPERIENCE -OF MOTHERHOOD
The experience of Motherhood is a trying one to most women and marks distinctly an epoch In their lives. Not one woman in a hundred is prepared or understands how to properly care for her
self. Of course nearly every woman would be harmful to the market
nowadays has medical treatment at such times, but many approach the experience with an organism unfitted for the trial of strength, and when it is over
her system has received a shock from which it is hard to recover. Following right upon this comes the nervous strain of caring for the child, and a distinct change in the mother results. . There is nothing more charming than a happy and healthy mother of children, and indeed child-birth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or beauty. The unexplainable thing is that, with all the evidence of shattered nerves and broken health resulting from ' an unprepared condition, and with ample time in which to prepare, women will persist in going blindly to the trial. Every woman at this time should rely upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, a most valuable tonic and invigorator of the female organism.
