Among other things, it means remarkable excellence in the products it sells. No inferior article can be sold on a large scale for so many years; and It must not only be good at the outset, but so good that the progress of forty years shall not develop any better article to supercede it. So women can, with confidence, depend upon that old, tried and tested remedy for woman's ailments. Lydia 13.

HAMMOND MUST NOTFALL DOWN "An over subscription to the Liberty Loan bond will be a fine investment to the enemy that the people of the United States stand behind their government." forcefully spoke Attorney W. J. Whlnery In a four-minute talk at DeLuxe theatre, Hammond, .last night on the Liberty Loan question. Mr. Whlnery explained the denom inations the bonds can be purchased In. He said: "Evejyone ought to be able to take out one of the bonds. It's the safest investment and yet a subscriber Is doing his bit, In helping Uncle Sam to win this war. It is the duty of every person too young to go to war or too old, to purchase if he can pos sibly do so. a Liberty Bond. Hammond has led the state in enlistments and should not fall cfown on subscribing for bonds with which our boys will be benefited. June 15 is the last day. Subscribe before then. Pay in payments, help in your own little way. Your $50 Is appreciated Just as much at a $1,000,000 loan. The bonds pay three and one-half percent interest, are non-taxable and in case the governernment seeks a further loan during the war, at a higher rate of interest. holders of liberty bonds will be en titled to the new interest rate." The bonds can be purchased at any bank. Tonight Jesse E. Wilson, president of the Chamber of Commerce, will speak four minutes at the theatre on the loan. Attorney Joseph H. Conroy will make the Liberty Bond address tomorrow night. TWILIGHT SLEEP The men of this community refuse to be discriminated against, and as a, result of a demand that they be admitted to the Twilight Sleep lecture and motion picture given at the Orpheum theatre tonight arrangements have been made by Mrs. Robert B.

WATSON OPPOSES (By TXnltsd Press.) WASHINGTON. June 11. Senator James E. Watson of Indiana went on record today as emphatically opposed to any sort of press censorship whatsoever. "I oppose press censorship on two grounds," said Watson. "It's unconsti tutional and its un-American., "The constitution specifically guarantees freedom of the press. That's enough for nty first point. "As for the second reason, this government is founded on the theory of flitness of men to govern themselves." Watson argued that men can be' fit to govern themselves only if they are properly informed on current events, and that such information can come only through the press. "The most effective way to cover up weakness and incapacity and to keep in public office," he said, "is to keep the people uninformed ighorant. "The Incompetency of certain bureau chiefs might be responsible for colossal blunders loss of large numbers of men loss of ships, and yet, because of political favoritism, these chiefs might be retained in office if the people were not informed. "Better to sacrifice a few public officials, if need be. than to see. large numbers of soldiers unnecessarily killed or our Interests suffer." Watson rapped the censorship as already applied by George Creel, chairman of the committee on public information. "The president has appointed a board of censors without warrant of law or authority of congress. George Creel, its chief, already has had the effrontery to criticise an editor for editorial comment on departmental inefficiency. If he goes this far, purely as ail individual without authority, who could limit his action when given legal powers?" NEGRO IS MAIMED. CROWN POINT. IND.. June 12. When he attempted to jump a through freight train on the Pan Handle near Kouts, a negro named Robinson, was nearly killed, his two legs were cut oft and he was rendered unconscious. He was hastened to the hospital at Logansport. The man had been noticed around Kouts earlier in the evening, for a colored man is a novelty around that town. Shortly before 10 o'clock he was seen to start up the tracks toward the coal docks. At 10 o'clock the fellow attempted to jump the freight. He was pulled under the wheels of the train and both legs were severed at the knee. BRIEFS Father J. J. Massath said his first mass at Hanover Center. Sunday. He will leave for China or Japan soon t$ take up missionary work. Father Massath is a New Yorker but is well known In Hanover. City Clerk William Kolb thought he had lost for a few weeks his private secretary, Mrs. Jack Croak, when in her absence Monday it was rumored that she had an attack of the measles. but this morning Mrs. Croak was on the job bright and early and explained her absence by saying: "Nothing in the measles line here. I only had a bad headache." Ole Anderson has been granted a city permit to erect a kelljistone veneer bungalow costing $2500 at 3S5 Fine street. Howard Logan. Chicago, paid a $5 and costs fine in city court this morning for speeding. COUNTY CLERK'S OFFICER SWAMPED County Clerk Herbert Wheaton Is swamped with work and desperately in neeJ cf volunteers. With his entire office force working early and late, the work of compiling the lists of the 25.090 registered young men in Lake county lc about a fourth finished. Eleven of Wheaton's clerks and other stenographers at the county courthouse worked all day Sunday without pay. The work is purely voluntary. Mr. Wheaton himself is putting in long hours. MARRIED IN '81, NOW SEEK DIVORCE Married since 1881, Mr. and Mrs. Robert England of Hammond, separated April 2 of this year, according to a petition for divorce filed by Mr. England today In tfTe Lake Superior court by Attorneys McMahon and Conroy. in which the plaintiff charges his wife was a chronic scold and grumbler. They have a son, 33 years of age, who is married and in business at Lagrange. Ind. LOST Baby bonnet between Lion store and Minas Co. Return to 68 Sibley St., Hammond. 6:12:2 WANTED Intelligent and industrious boy. Apply Mr. Green, Lion Store, Hammond. 6:12:1 000 worth of sinking funds into the loan comes from Mayor R. O. Johnson. "There is around $100,000 in the fund. Some of it doesn't have to be paid out for ten or fifteen years. The banks pay the city 3 per cent interest. It would help the government to invest the money in 3'i per cent bonds as well as aid the city." said the mayor. Fusn 91,000,000 Goal. As the main offices of Gary's big plants are in Chicago, New York and Pittsburgh industrial contributions are not counted. Gary is aiming to buy $1,000,000 worth of bonds this week. Banks are selling them on the installment plan, allowing a year for their payment
