Those new "Bran Foods' a new one is born every week a recognition of the need of food laxatives Instead of drug laxatives. The problem of presenting bran to the human stomach in combination with a nutritious, easily digested food was solved twenty years ago by the invention of Shredded Wheat Biscuit, the food that supplies all the body-building material in the whole wheat grain in a digestible form, combined with bran which is Nature's laxative. A bodybuilding, strength-giving food. Serve with milk or cream or baked apple or other fruits. Made at Niagara Falls, N. Y.

LAKE CO. G.O.P. LEAD

(Special to The Timbb.) IXDIANAPOLIS, IND.. Nov. 20. State republican leaders In analyzing the official returns Just made public are disappointed over the howlnr made in Lake county, where Hughes won by only 3,317. From reports the state committee and incoming- state officials It was Gary that failed to deliver, the g-oods. Much surprise was occasioned that Gary leaders, who had promised a Hugrhes majority of 4,000 only gave 107. the loss being cited as the reason for the failure to give Hughes the usual Lake county quota. Blame Gary Be. Information here Is that local conditions rather than Wilson's popularity caused the upheavel at Gary, there having been received many complaints from the steel town. If Wilson were to blame it is pointed out that the republicans would have lost the nearby communities of Hammond. Whiting: and Indiana Harbor instead of their fine majorities they received there. That the Gary steel workers, who are reported to make up the bulk of the voting population, must have revolted against local methods is believed here to be the cause of the fall down. In the tenth congressional district the vote on each presidential elector gave Hughes 335. S23 and Wilson 326,810. Goodrich, governor-elect. got the highest plurality, defeating Adair by 12.771 votes. .Goodrich got 337,831 and Adair 325,060.

WELL TIE

OF BRIDGE

Good and permanent repairs for the Kennedy avenue bridge were promised this morning in East Chicago by County Commissioner George O. Schaaf and Contractor O. E. Nichols of Hebron who has the contract to repair the bridge. Complaint has been made that repairs on the bridge have given way and that traffic is again endangered. A truck went through the bridge three weeks ago and last Friday it waa found necessary to close it again. "The repairs about which there has been complaint." said Contractor Nichols and Commissioner Schaaf this morning," were merely temporary, In the hope of accomodating traffic while awaiting material for permanent improvements." "We have ordered new piling, new caps and new flooring for the bridge." sal dCommissioner Schaaf. fco that when these improvements are made there will virtually be a new bridge, which we hope will last long enough until there has been some government decision on the oourse of the river channel, so that we know where to build a new and better bridge. If there is no delay in the arrival of material, the work should be completed within three weeks." Mr. Schaaf said that the repair work would cost approximately J1.500. Contractor Nichols also has th econtract for the building of a bridge in the Brown road at Maynard which lead over the Hart ditch.

DRYS TO START HOT FIGHT IN CONGRESS INDIANAPOLIS. Ind., Nov. '20. The moat strenuous campaign for nationwide prohibition ever waged will begin with the convening of the sixty-fourth congress in December, according to Miss Anna A. Gordon of Evanston. Ill-, national president of the W. C. T.iU., whose annual address opened the convention of that body at the Murat theater. Miss Gordon's assurance that national prohibition is within sight aroused enthusiasm among the 800 delegates from all parts of the country, who stood and cheered Miss Gordon's declaration.

DEMOCRATS LINE DUP FOR ' PROHIBITION (Continued from Page One) tlonal convention of the Women's Christian Temperance Union, which is in session here, with his complimensa. In view of all of these developments, and in view of the further fact that the temperance forces have always regarded the Republican party as their friend, it looks as if there was a stormy session of the legislature ahead for the liquor interests. My How Sore They Are! v'hlle they do not admit it openly, it Is known that the defeated Democrats are sore at the Ur-rmans of the state for voting against Wilson. Some of them point to the fact that Fori Wayne, which has a large German population and where resentment against Wilson was prominent, was carried by Hughes, although the Democrats normally figure on a plurality of 3,00j to 4.000 in Fort Wayne. It is shown that Hammond normally democratic went republican only because of the German vote. It is pointed out, too, that EvariBVille Germans cut down the Democratic vote, although the First district elected a Democratic congressman. It is quite well known that the Germans of Indianapolis soaked the President at; the election, and some of the Democrats say that the defection of German votes in Marion, Allen ani Vanderburg county accounted for the Hughes plurality in the state. So, it is pointed out. they probably are backing the prohibition movement to get even. Grand Jury Resumes Quiz. The Federal grand jury resumed its session this morning for the purpose of making an investigation of the charges of election corruption in tha state. Lake county will be the first county investigated. More than forty trunks and boxes full of ballots, poll books, tally sheets and other election material and figures from Lake county have been brought here for the use of the grand jury. On Saturday afternoon also, the Federal authorities took possession of all of the records of the election in Marion county, thus showing that it intends to make an investigation of this county. Other counties are to follow, so it is reported, and it will probably take many weeks for the grand jury to finish its work. It is said that the investigation is being made wholly on a nonpartisan basis, and all sides seem to be agreed that If there was any crookedness in the campaign or the election the guilty ones should be punished, no matter what party they belong to. The usual secrecy which surrounds a federal inquiry is maintained in this instance, and no information is permitted to reach the public in regard to what is going on.

The children orphaned by the tragedy are John, 13; Mary, II; Annie, 10; Mike, 8; Pete, 6, and the baby. Josephine, 4. Those who were old enough went to Froebel school. John, the eldest, assisted by his sisters Mary and Annie, carried GARY EVENING TIMES routes in the west side of Gary for-two years, recently got out of Mercy hospital after recovering from a broken leg. A boy had pushed him from a swing at Froebel playground. When John left the hospital the family had more bad luck, as the dissolute father had to enter the institution because of an injury. . Bodies of the ill-fated pair were removed from the shack at 1515 Pennsylvania street and taken to the Williams and Marshall morgue. Miss Mary Kirby. chief Juvenile officer, assumed charge of the six childr. Many people also knew the family by the name of Wargott.

Led by Lieutenant Losene firemen with a stream of water fought their way through an east window from which flames issued and entered a roaringfurnace. In half an" hour the fire was extinguished. Had it not been for tlva fact that the floors in the building are of concrete and the walls of brick there would have been no hope of saving the building. The damage to the building is estimated at about a thousand dollars. . The loss of automobile parts added to the destruction of twenty-two autos made the Are a costly one. Twenty-five new auto bodies were damaged ao badly they can not be used. The building was flooded from the third floor down to the basement and there was some damage by water. The new cars were covered by insurance. E. N. Bunnell, head of the concern, today sent a check for fifty dollars to the Are department and a letter of appreciation for its work.. It was one of the best "stops" that a fire fighting force can make as practically a whole floor was a mass of flames when the men began their work. The outside walls above the third floor windows were blackened by the flames that shot out. One old second hand car worth about seventy-five dollars was untouched while two new cars, one on each side, were destroyed. There waa
