The pamphlets do not bear the name of the drug company and are not advertising. They wre secured through the trtate board of health and the work Is entirely philanthropic. The pamphlets were copied from a bulletin sent out by the 'board of health to New York City, as follows: "Tdphtherla is one of the most important serious diseases of infants and children. Since the discovery and uf" of diphtheria antitoxin, the number of deaths from this disease has lessened o; children attacked by diphtheria each ytiar ha not changed very mu:li.

Police of Hammond, who never bat an eye when a man berates them roundly- while raying a fine, were rendered speechless this mornIns -when an ex-drunk, after settling his bill showered them with thanks and a few minutes later brought in a big box of cigars. It was Claude E. Btrst, of Chicago, who holds the honor of being the most grateful victim of the Hammond police court. Claude, looking a bit tired and pale, told a straight story when he faced Judge Klotz. 'I bought a half pint of whiskey in Chicago It was good whiskey, for I paid $3 for It and drank some of It. I have a faint recollection of getting into a taxicab and the next thing I knew was when I woke up in the cell." ' Do you know where the officers found you?" he was asked. "No I don't. "Well sir, you were In one of the nigger dumps on Plummer ave." "My Gawd," was all that Claude could say as his face registered horror. "I suppose I haven't any money left to- pay my fine," he said ruefully. "I dr?w $100 out of the bank yesterday." "The arrest sheet shows the police took J107 from your pockets," said Prosecutor Joe Todd. "Since you have a family I'll make It only $1 and costs," announced the judge. Claude was all smiles when Chief Austgen Tealt out his money and other belongings after deducting the fine. "Gentlemen." said he, "I want to thank you for arresting me last night. Tf you hadn't found me, those niggers would have cleaned me sure. I want to make it right with you. Tou won't take money, er? Well, I can give you some cigars." And he did.

Memoers of the Hammond Chamber of Commerce at the noon-day luncheon todav oted unanimously to support the legal fight against construction of ihe Miller Beach road. The case which was filed by North Township cities duiing the early summer came up in th lcgular order on the Circuit Court docket this week hut was parsed be cause or a jury trial then in session. East Chicago has shown an Inclination to drop the fight now that holding out this long has been the mean of cutting about J100.000 off of the con structlon costs' because of decrease i: prices of materials. Hammond business men believe that evjry effort should be made to halt it. eonstruction as a county road becau.-' Hammond, East Chicago and W"nff:In will pay over half of the cost wherea. Gary will draw the great benefit. "Hammond and Erut Chicago may each expect to pay at least one-fourth o: the cost," said A. M. Turner. '1, will not stop there for we have heard of road after road which the south townships are just waiting a chance to spring if this goes through. They ai ' bound to try to get even with us and it will mean the saddling of an immense debt on the taxpayer. And remember, every time a county road i. built, the territory north of the Littl. Calumet River pays S5 per cent, of th. cost and the ibalance of the county pay.only 15." Ths Chamber of Commerce also considered the plan which was advance l recently for taking care of the need of Hammond. The committee composed representatives of various civic organization has been appointed and compl. t. working plans will be announced soon Calls for help are coming in regular!;, and it is expected that several thousands of dollars will be needed. p has been suggested that business nv r and people who have steady work pledge themselves to give one or tw doila-s a month for the next six monthIt is hoped to get 1.500 people to sub scribe to this scheme.

SECOND DAY OF "FAT ARBUCKLE TRIAL Sensational Evidence is Ex pected to Develop this . Afternoon. BY ELLIS H. MARTIN" SAN ERANCISCO. CAL , Srt. 22 The second reel of Kosoe "Fatty" Ar- '. 'tickle's first appoarrMice as a tragedian was to be -'.shot" this afternoon before another matinee .midicnee of "women, only" that promise)! to ellipse the' record attendance established esterday. At the second session of the preliminary hearing the famous cornelian was scheduled to face his accusers as the state proceeded to lay before JudgeSylvain Lazarus, the evidejiec on which Pistrict Attorney Matthew Brady expects Arhu.'kle to be held for trial in superior court for the murder of pretty Virginia Rappe. firm actress, who il'ied following attendance at "Fatty's" gay "Labor Ihiy party." Bambina Belmont. ."iend of the dead girl, who accompanied her to the party, was to appear in the st'-ller role of prosecuting witness. For the first time since the party she is to face the man she alleges attacked am! injure)! her friend. Backing ii p her testimony, the state is expected to call .Mice Blake, and 57eh Irevost. show girls, who were also in attendance at the party. Al Somnaoher. manager for Miss Rappe, whose story before a Los Angeles grand jury as to certain alleged admissions by Arhuckle. was another witness whose testimony was cxpecte." to be presented by the stat'.-. Several other names were on the witness list, but all had minor roles principally of a. technical and corroborative nature. The late hour of convening, 2 p. m.. made it duobtful whether the state could complete its case today as had been planned. Assistant Pistrict Attorney Milton VKen, who is handling the court proceedings, said that every effort would be made, to complete presentation of the state's case before adjournment tonight. The initial session was comparatively brief a little over two hour.-, at which four witnesses were heard. They included I'r. Shelby Strange, official autopsy surgeon; Or. "William Ophuls, who made an unofficial autopsy. Miss Grace Halston, a nurse who assisted in the autopsy pel formed by Dr. Ophuls. anil Percy R. Hennessey, board of health emploes. who certified to Miss Rappe's death. But four salient facts were adduced in their testimony. It was established that Miss Rappe is dead. That her death was due to peritonitis following- a ruptured bladder. That the ruptufr- was pr ably ' le to application of an external force." That a number of bruises were found on her body ami that one on her arm was, in the opinion of witnesses, superinduced by "linger pressure." The hearing was f. attired by heated clashes between c is.-l for the state and counsel for defense. Assistmit District Attorney U'Ren and Frank JVimInguez, who heads Arbuckle's legal- battery, were at loggerheads constantly. However, the hearing- was expeditened by the disinclination of the defense to cross examine witnesses other than to m.i'.e certain formal Inquiries t" complete the record. Throughout the hearing the defense igave no sign oi its puns, v, nat steps It expects to take when the state fin ished remains undisclosed. It is reported, but hot confirmed, that Fred Ftslibak ami Ira Fortlouis, guests ot Arhuckle at the party, ami summoned as witnesses for The state, are to be called by fhe defense. That the defense anticipates introducing evidence in behalf of Arbu'kle was indicated when Attorney Bominguez remarked to 7.1rs. W. B. Hamilton, member of the Women's Vigilant committee: "I hope you ladies will suspend Judgment in this case until all flf the testimony has been brought out." "That is our intention." she replied. "But we expect all of it to !e brought out."

, v- - CO n 0 REPORTER TAKES BOSS INTO CONFIDENCE Bear Boss: News is quiet for a spell so l thought I'd write you a little letter. I suppose you have been reading a good deal about these vitamines the human race is supposed to be short on. Well, I was asking Carl Nelson about it last evening and he said as how it is all on account of prohibition. Carl says that we used to get our vitamines in beer along with a lot of alcohol we might or might not need, aT.d that now they ar-3 putting them in capsules ami selling them a dollar per bottle. Personally. I never hankered after capsules. I'll take my vitamines in lii;uid form. Seems to me the in-dictm-Mit against beer is getting kind of thin. First the doctors who were too scared to talk, come out with the information that alcohol is necessary to the human body a:;d that digestion is nothing but lrni).t.iVi and that -v cry man's gixynrd is a brewery anyway. Too much alcohol is bad. but so is too little, ami a lot of people need a little alC)!iol imported into their systems. Th-ui the druggists come along with the scientific discovery that people hae ot enough vitamines and they had better take some in eondenst-d form if they want to throw a shadow. Alright then, what we need is a little alcohol and a lot of vitamines ami that's what beer is made out of. That makes congress look sort of dumb in refusing to let i'.o.--.r.s prescribe beei to foTTis whose systems, crave a littb alcohol and a lot of vitamines. imagine the gang lirod up at th soda counter for a round of vitamines: By the way, I just heard how sunn gooil dually come out of these Gideon bibles they put ill the hotel rooms Some traveling man threw one out ot a window and hit a cop. The traveling a chambermaid did it an.! man said a the next da th) cop and the chamber maid got married. Well, so long this time.
