easily accounted for when the life history of the flea is understood. The eggs are laid loose in the hair of infested animals and fall off when they lie down to rest or when they scratch themselves. Thus the eggs are often found in abundance in the undisturbed bed of the pet dog or cat. The eggs hatch and give rise to a small whitish grub which feeds on the organic matter In Us surroundings. In undisturbed rooms dust in cracks in the floor or in corners affords an ideal breeding place. Keep Thing Clean. "Keeping things absolutely clean Is the first requisite in combating fleas. The following method of procedure has been found very effective. The carpets and rugs were removed and cleaned with a vacuum claner. The cracks In the floor and corners of the room were

aiso gone over with this cleaner so as

to remove all dust and the eggsand grubbs with nt. The floor was washed

with hot soap suds containing eight

tablespoonf uls of creolln in eery gal

lon of suds. Gasoline was flooded into cracks around baseboards and the

floors covered with napthallne flakes.

These were swept up after a day or so

and burned. In basements, fumigation with carbon blsulphid of hydrocyonie acid gas is very effective. It must be borne in mind that the former is hlghly explosive and the latter deadly poisonous even on inhaling. Before using either of these substances, one should obtain detailed information on handling them. "Animals infested should be washed with a solution containing about three tablespoonf uls of creolin per gallon. All bedding of dogs or cats should be thoroughly cleaned every few days and dust and dirt therein contained be burned."

WARNING TO DENTISTS Chief Austgen of the Hammond police department received a warning from Kankakee, 111., this morning, to beware of a gang of an organised office thieves, who made a number of rich hauls in the vicinity of Kankakee last wek. According to the letter the gang of thieves only loot dentist's offices, for the purpose of securing gold which is used for filling and crowns and seem to choose office buildings, where the loot is large. Last Thursday night the thieve broke into six dentists' offices at KarH kanee and secured $400 worth of gold. From Kankakee the thieves moved to Jollet and secured rich hauls by entering fourteen dentists' offices. The police of the two cities are making an effor to break up the gang of thieves and fearing that they would make an effort to operate in this vicinity, the Hammond police were notified. Dentists in Hammond will be notified today and the police will be on the

MR. BUSINESS MAN:

HpHERE is no longer any question about the value of Times' Advertising. With a circulation that reaches almost every home in the cities of Hammond, Gary, East Chicago, Indiana Harbor and Whiting, an advertisement in its columns gets results. These results are money for the business man. In a hundred ways this has has been demonstrated within the past few months. The business men in the Calumet region who are making good are the business men. who advertise in the Times; the real estate men who are making money are tfte real estate men who advertise in the Times. It is a live newspaper published with out fear or favor, enjoys the confidence of the people. It is one of the great upbuilders of the Calumet region. It is helping to make it a region of progress, of pretty homes, of modern methods. It is entitled to the support of those who believe in the Calumet

Region.

O'RDURKE HAS A FEW WORDS TO SAY

n i

That the milk supply in Hammond compares well with the best in the state is the positive statement that city sealer Frank O'Rourke makes in answer to the sweeping charges by l'r. Hurty of the state board of health

at Gary last week. Dr. Hurty said Jn

part: "So far as I know, not a single city in the state of Indiana has proper sur

veillance over its milk supply. Where

is the city that sees to it that the animals furnishing its mHk are inspect

ed as to their health? Obviously sick cows should not furnish-milk for chil

dren to drink. "Where is ths city that carefully lnwpects the cleanliness of diaries and requires that all milk sold

therein shall be pure and clean?"

Mr. O'Rourke admitted that the city

is handicapped in testing milk ship

ped into Hammond, because it has no labratory, but he adds that dairies in Hammond could not be improved up for sanitation and cleanliness. He says it is up to the state to inspect farm dairies and to test the cattle. II.

makes it his business to have test

from the various city dairies made

about every three months, and as much

oftener as he or a dairyman or a citl-

sen feels Justiled In asking for a test.

Professor Ernest S. Tillman who has

charge of the biological department In the Hammond high school has as

sured This Times, that beginning next

fall he will attempt to introduce milk tests in his work for the benefit of his

students. Prof. Tillman is wide

awake and energetic In matters pertaining to the city's welfare and made

a success of this work in other schools where he taught.

About People

Some Chats With Folks On Things of Interest

Coached by monthly literary and the daily press, sick and ailing residents of

Hammond are now doctoring them

selves with serums and vaccines the latest treatments, thus injuring the

trade in pills, capsules, powders, tablets

and quinnines, their oldtime stand

byes. The calomel fiend is passing

away.

Among other commercial retail druty-

gists in the city, Verne C. Summers of

the Summer's Pharmacy goes cheerfully

about adjusting his stock, adding an

other side line or two and providing his

customers with the best fountain deli

cacies makeable. He sees the day, not

distant, when his business will be side

lines, serums, vaccines anil remedies-

no longer a drug store. The old apotho cary is a memory. Summer, a Pleasnnt ernon.

"The world is getting better," said Mr. Summers last evening in his place of business. "And as the world gets better my business booms and so I am entirely satisfield. AVe started here with a $2,500 stock nine years ago employing one clerk. There are 12 waiting on trade today and we have a $25,000 stock. And all this was accomplished which the demand for drugs decreased. So It can't be called a drug store literally for the medicines we sell are mostly remedies. And besides these remedies every pharmacy sells cameras, fountain pens, ice cream sodas, school books, candies and whatnots. Once in a while we pick a Joker but when we do we make the most of it and try another side line." . The Beat Game Going. Though it is the divine right, guaranteed under the constitution of the United States, of every man to knock his own game. Summers refuses to do so. "It is the greatest business in the world, if it wasn't I wouldn't be in it," In fact the retail drug business Is one continual round of pleasure. If you put in 14 hours a day at it, work yourself and see that everybody else does, you will get rich maybe. There's an element of charity In it for when you send medicine to a sick woman with a family "of nine , children and a drunkard husband you can't expect to ever collect. I'd like to play golf or spend hours each day in a machine but I find that I enjoy working in the sttire most. Yes, a retail druggist has a gay life."

CITY INFESTED BY HOBOS

During the past week Hammond has

been infested by an unusual large number of strangers and hobos, and

the police and railroad detectives are making special efforts to rid the city of

them. Iast night three train riders were arrested by Special Officer Bush at the Erie yards, and were arraigned before City Judge Barnett. It being useess to fine or send them to Jail, they were ordered out of the city by the court. It Is a mystery to the authorities where all the hobos come from, as, according to O'icer Bush, there are at least a dozen hobos on every freight train that goes out of Hammond. Most of them are penniless and refuse to work.

Gas Company Robbed. The Northern Indiana Gas and Electric company notified the police this morningf that another of their gas meters at 504 Murray street had been broken into and robbed last night.
