TAKE SALTS TO FLUSH KIDNEYS
SAFETY FIRS!
CLUB i STARTS
The manufacturers of. East Chicago
and Indiana Harbor, aided and abbet-
ted by the railroad, organized a "Safety First" club whose purpose, as it name
suggests is to eliminate, as rar as possible, the loss of life and personal In-
Jury to the men in their employ. It Is their belief that scores of accidents
which cripple, main and kill, might be
avoided if proper precautions were ex
ercised, often on the part of the men
who suffer the injuries. To overcome the tendency to accident they have or
ganized this club, which is now on a permanent foundation with duly elected
officers, and committees whose duty it is to inculcate the "safety first" Idea
into the minda nf the workmen.
At at meeting held November 12 atj
the Masonic temple, the new organization was formed. No name had as yet been decided upon but the officers
elected are as follows: J. C. English,
superintendent of the Republic mill, president; J. P. Graver, of the William
Graver Tank works, secretary. Among those present at the meeting. In addition to representatives of man
ufactories, were representatives of the following railroad companies: B. & O., Chicago Terminal, Indiana Harbor Belt,
and Pennsylvania Railroad company.
Suggestions were made by some of the master mechanics of the various plants,
railroad officials and others. Committees on rules and other detai!s are be
ing formed, and It is the purpose to make this organization an effective
life saver as well as a preventive of
many minor accidents that with a lit
tle care and with t'ae rleht instructions, might be avoided.

then began a pilgrimage up and down
the business streets of Indiana Harbor,
in a vain endeavor to find some one
else, who could alleviate the sufferings
of Mike. Office after office they visited without success. Apparently there was an unusual amount of sickness In Indiana Harbor yesterday morning. At any rate none of the doctors were ou the job, and after wandering aimlessly back and forth, and over and across part of the time carrying the stretcher on their shoulders and again at arm's length near the sidewalk, they finally observed the sign of Dr. Cox, which they had previously overlooked. In the meantime, persons on the street who on first encountering the mournful looking quartet, at first had looked " sympathetic, began to smile. The occupant of the stretcher seemed to be havlng'the time of his life. He lay with arms folded over his breast, an a look of gladness on his countenance. , - 'Trobably an election bet" suggested some bright mind, and jokes at the expense of the carriers were freely indulged In. Finally, as observed before, the stretcher bearers lamped the shingle of Dr. Cox, and they proceeded to take their charge. Into hie office. Dr.. Co
