CARLOADS

OF ROTTING Shocking Conditions Found Across State Line Near Hammond by Police. Six carloads of food, condemned by the Unltd State government, has been dumped at Globe Station, In Illinois, throe miles southwest of Hamond, and citizens from surrounding cities have been hauling the poison food away in wagons, trucks and by hand in enormous quantities. There is no one on Kuard to prevent the theft of the stuff, and while employes of the glue works drive the people away, they return for more. A large number of those persons are taking the condemned food to u?e as eating it, and this la a very dangerous practice. A ptomaine epidemic may result If this is Indulged into any extent. Employes of the works stated this noon that they are 'powerless to keep the people away, or to show them th danger of using the poison food. A sign, conspicuously placed, warns that the food has bee-n condemned and that It Is unfit to be eaten. Nevertheless the people mostly foreigners and hobos, continue to steal It. probably to their own sorrow. A reporter visited the scene of the thefts, and on the way passed several wagon loads of the spoiled food being hauled away. It was said that many men were seen to bre.ak open the cans of corned beef and gorge themselves on the contents. A large numbr of broken and half empty cans were In evidence. The Hammond police department were notified shortly before noon today of the thefts and an officer was sent out to the glue works to investigate. The things which he saw caused him to hurry b.ck to town and get in touch with the health authorities of Illinois. Cans, broken open, were a crawling mass of rotting meat, indicating that the spoiling process had already begun 'before they were opened. Too much, emphasis canot be placed on tie danger that lies in using this condemned stun for food. People who ea-t It re running a big chance of serious illness and possible death. The sign posted over the huge pile of can and cases which reads. "United States Condemned Poison Meat Unfit for Tood." evidently doesn't mean a thins to them.

VOICE OF THE - PEOPLE

M M 11 Kit 5 ANU . PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE STATU CONSTITl'TIOM The fifth amendment changes the term of office of prosecuting attorney from two to four years and permits the prosecutor to succeed himself. It ought to pass as even now by party rule a prosecuting attorney Is allowed a second term without contest. The sixth amendment proposes to allow the General Assembly (Legislature) of Indiana to provide by law the qualifications of lawyers. Now every person of good moral character being a voter. Is entitled to admission to practice law In all courts of Justice. The present provision Is absurd. Unier it a voter of good moral character has right to admission to the bar so an immigrant who is in the United States one year and this state six months and of good moral characted Is qualified even without knowing a word of English or of Law. Fifteen trades and professions require licenses and have qualifications fixed by law in Indiana. And. Indiana is the only state In the Union not requiring an examination or some evidence of learning in the law before admission of persons to practice law. The law is surely a learned calling and the people will have their law business and business affairs bungled if every moral person who is a voter, may practice law in the state. Kmbalmers, Veterinarinans, Mine Bosses, must show knowledge and qualifications to get a license and practice their businesses In Indiana. Lawyers should do likewise. Amendment sixth should be passed to out of the Joke clays In states. Indeed, it now is the only dunce in this regard. D. J. MORAN Hammond, Indiana. (INTERNATIONA!. NEWS SERVICE 1 NEW YORK. July 27.

At their own doors la tho very gardens of thoae who are weak, nervous and mime all the while is one of the most valuable tonic and strength-builders known to medical science, said Dr. Jaaiei Sullivan, formerly physician cX BeUevue Hospital (Outdoor Dept.) and the Westchester County H capital. New York, when consulted recently. Dr. Sullivan further said: "If your daily diet contains an abundant amount of iron you are giving your body the red blood food it craves. But if your blood larks iron and is thin, pale and watxry you cannot expect to be strong and well. On the contrary, your nerves become weakened and you become irritable, fussy and easily upset. In such ca-ses, what you need Is Iron organic Iron to remove the cause of your trouble, and the moment orsanic iron is supplied it is often wonderful how quickly your multitude of symptoms will disappear and how strong and vigorous you will become."
