The curtain raiser which was sched

the Maroons playing them oft their
feet from start to finish. One of the spectacular features of the game was a pretty drop kick by Muenich from the 45-yard line. Touchdowns were made by Peward, Muenich, Kohl and Winters.
Next Sunday the Maroons travel to

CRYING FOR HELP
lots of It In Hammond But Daily Growing Less. The kidneys often cry for help. Not another organ In the whole body more delicately constructed; Not one more important to health. The kidneys are the filters of the blood. When they fall the blood becomes foul and poisonous. There can be no health where there is poisoned blood. Backache is one of the frequent Indications of kidney trouble. It la often the kidneys' cry for help. Heed It. Read what Doan's Kidney Pills have done for overworked kidneys.
Proof of merit In the following
statement:
Mrs. Albert Larson, 1106 144th. street. East Chicago, Ind., says: "I have taken
several boxea of Doan's Kidney Pllla and I don't hesitate to say that they were prompt in ridding me of kidney complaint. I have great faith In Doan's Kidney Pills and always feel perfectly safe in recommending them
when I can."

TONIGHT and Tuesday SYD. CARTER'S
Recently The Times carried a story about a performer who appeared at tho Orpheum with an act featured bysmut. The housi; was criticized by tho theatrical-going public and the policy of the house has been changed. What is the result? The Orpheum today is .loing the biggest business of its existence in Hammond. Fifteen thousand people will
have been entertained by clean perform
ers with the passing of this week, an average of 2.1S4 a day, and the Allardts are to be congratulated.
But the story has another angle. Maurice Hakinson, manager of the
Orpheum theater in Racine, formerly of
Hammond, a devoted reader of this
paper, read the review and filed it for
reference.
Sure as shooting it came in handy.
Nearly all of the same offensive bill came to his house, plus two headline
acts to balance it up. "Cut out the smut," Hankinson ordered Joe Bren
ner, the offensive comedian and when Joo demurred, "Then read this."
Joe did. One other man on the bill was there
at the time and he chided Brennen. "That's straight stuff," said he, "as true as gaspel." Brennen, enraged, attacked him and Hankinson interfer
ed. Then Breennen got his and was made to clean up his act.
Scarlet Fever Find. According to the police blotter this morning a woman and child residing in a house at No. 14-125th street, have been found suffering from a severe case of scarlet fever. Upon investi
gation it was learned that the mother
and child have been ill for nearly two weeks, having only come to America about a month ago. They have had but little medical attention. In the same house, it is said, that two other families are living and with a number of children running around
ine conuinons were irigntiui. Trie case was reported to Dr. Weis, secretary of the board of health, and the
house has been placed under quaran tine.

carrying widows and orphans on its list, the pension fund la a worthy institution and should receive the loyul support of every citizen in Hammond. The firemen's pension fund is now paying $25 apiece each month to two widows and $6 apiece to three orphans, making a total of $68 that is being paid out each month in pensions. Uach year the city pays $1,000 to the support of the fund, while the members themselves pay in a sum of over $400 each year. The money has been invested in city bonds and draws a rate of interest of nearly $450 yearly. The police pension fund is also in a flourishing condition. They receive a like amount from the city each year and pay out an amount of $30 a month to one widow. Their capital has not reached the amount of the firemen's pension fund, as the firemen had considerable money to start the fund with, the police also pay out 1 per cent of their wages into the fund.
Interior view of customs house at Vera Cruz, Mexico, and battleship New Jersey In Vera Cruz harbor. Should cong-rssa through the recommendation of President Wilson raise the embargo against the purchase by the Mexican revolutionists of arms and munitions of war in the Unietd States, th- war material for the equipment of the Constitutionalists would pass through the customs house at Vera Cruz. This is the gateway of hope to the followers of Carranza in their effort to overthrow the self-appointed Huerta. In case of war with the United States the Vera Cruz customs house would be one of the first buildings In Mexico to iloat the U. S. flag. A number of powerful American war vessels, among which is the New J ersey. are now in Vera Cruz harbor.
