HERE'S FLU PREVENTATIVE

A well known Lake county woman has the following preventative to offer for influenza, diptheria and all contagious diseases : "Enclose in a small flannel bag a quantity of assafoetida, sulphur and gum camphor mixed and wear it around the neck beneath the underclothing. It may be a little unpelasant in odor but what is that if it prevents sickness or death. It is a sterling remedy." MASS MEETING ST INDIANA HARBOR Special Meeting of Harbor Civic Club to Take Action on Retaining Name. By A. C. BUEOIN (Secretary of Civic Club.) A rousing mass meeting was held last evening in the rooms of the Indiana Harbor Civic Club at which there were present some hundred and twenty-five of the leading men of Indiana Harbor. The meeting was called to take action along lines suggested by Senator Watson and Congressman Wood for the retention of j the name Indiana Harbor as the postoftice name. The speakers were unanimous in voicing their sentiments that the name of Indiana Harbor must not be lost; that it stands of a state distinction in that it is the only one port in the state of Indiana, and the name Harbor indicates its character; that it is not an inland city but located upon a navigable body of water where the industries may locate and have cheap importation and exportation facilities; and further that the residents of Indiana Harbor are deserving of every consideration over the retention of their commercial center's name because of their achievements industrially, commercially, and patriotically. Industrially and commercially the Harbor portion of the city of East Chicago holds the balance; patriotically, the Harbor has a unique and enviable record. Its Red Cross activities are known around the world; on every loan drive it has carried by far more than its numerical share of the municipality's load; on the War Savings drive it went over the top. although the municipality of East Chicago failed to dofo owing'to the west end not meeting its 'share of the quota: throughout the country its population has the name of being a city that "does things." In contrast to the importance attached to the name Indiana Harbor throughout the entire country, the confusion that results from the name East Chicago was clearly pointed out. Without the question of a doubt the hard coat situation in the city of East Chicago came about because of the city of Chicago getting our allotment; practically, dailly some mail is delayed, thus hindering commercial enterprise, because of its being sent to Ilinois; the name East Chicago is not distinctive and stands for nothing in the minds of strangers other than a portion, a suburb, of the city of Chicago; the name is a misnomer in every respect. The matter of amalgamation was brought up and it was the consensus of opinion that amalgamation of the cities of North township is a long ways off and Is only being talked for selfish, political reasons now; that the idea of amalgamation in itself is not opposed. If the citizens of the city of East Chicago are sincere in their desire for one name for the city why should that name be a third name, a compromise name, which would entail financial loss for both sides of town? Why not make the entire city the city of Indiana Harbor and make capital out of the publicity that this name has gained? In line with the recommendation of Senator AVatson and Congressman Wood a committee to formulate a citizens' petition of protest was appointed as follows: J. W. Brissey, chairman; J. G. Allen. A. C. Eurgin, H. R. De Hall. This committee will formulate such petition immediately, giving the data comprising the reasons fo mot making the change snd block workers will give every citizen of Indiana Harbor the chance to sign the same and preserve the identity of Indiana Harbor.

Both towns were manufacturing centers but the buildings generally have long since crumbled to the ground under the destructive fire of many thousands of shells.

TRUCE 1

LUKE CO. SEMED Lake County Having Oversubscribd Its 4th Liberty Loan Quota, Is Now Permitted to Go on With Political Fight. Times Bureal-. At States Capit".,. INDIANAPOLIS. Ind., Oct. 4. Both republican and democratic state headquarters are keeping a close watch on the bulletin board at Liberty Loan state headquarters so that Just as soon as the county goes over the top, in the Liberty Loan drive, the political truce in that particular county can be called off and the war dpgs of, politics turned loose. Bartholomew county was the first to obtain permission to resume the political campaigns. The Liberty loan quota for this county was $900,000, but it went over with $1,000,000 subscribed. The political leaders appealed to Will Wade, director of the loan in Indiana and got permission to call oft the truce in that county. This policy followed throughout the state. Thus there is an added incentive for the loan work era who are' identified with political organizations to put the loan over as rapidly as possible. Lake county la way over the top also. Leaders in both parties are bu.y. Action of the Marion county demo cratic committee in publishing news paper advertisements appealing to vot ers to register with the added declaration that thousands of patriotic republicans are ready with their votes to endorse President Wilson's admin istration and hia conduct of the war is regarded by Republicans as a breach of the political truce. Marlon county is not yet over the top with her quota of the Fourth Loan and therefore the truce should still be in full force. The registration of voters has progressed right along in both parties but the objection is made in regard to the appeal that thousands of republicans are ready and waiting to vote the democratic ticket at the election in November. That is charac terized as a direct partisan appeal which .cannot be spoken but which the democratic committee gets before the public in paid advertisements. LAKE COUNTY WINS PRAISE Times Bireal-. At State apital. INDIANAPOLIS. IND.. Oct. 1. In regard to the way Indiana is subscribing to the 4th Liberty Loan Lake countystood out ns the particular bright mark of the state, with a heavy oversubscription of its quota of $7,000,000, known to have been made Saturday night. Lake county bond officials expect the county to subscribe approximately $10,000,000. The city of Last Chicago subscribed approximately $3,000,000 on Saturday, against an allotment of one-half of that amount. Gary had subscribed $2,000,000 and more Saturday night, and Hammond had subscribed more than $176 0 0,0 0 0, reports to state headquarters said.
