Indiana Harbor is a sample of what money and brains can do in a short time, saye the Chesterton Tribune. A year ago it was a barren waste. Today it i? the home of 1,500 people. Business lots are selling for $1,500 and SI,BOO each. Business blocks are going up like magic. The land company is doing nothing to sell its property. Buyers come to them and pay cash. Everything indicates that. Indiana Harbor will be another South Chicago in a very short time, and that those who have got in on th > ground floor will make a lot of money.

Though the only lunch his coinless p >rse affords to them the means is a tasteless meal of boneless cod with a “side” of stringless beans; he puffs a tobaccoless cigarette and laughs a mirthless laugh when papa tries to coax her back by wireless telegraph.

The state board of medical registration and examination has decided to send out a circular letter to all the county clerks of the state giving explicit directions in regard to the issu ing of licenses to physicians.

The law forbids clerks to issue licenses to physicians except on the -written order of the board. In some cases clerks have given out licenses on temporary permits and sometimes have i sued the certificates on their own authority without a word from the board. If not, why not, try a new spring men’s or boys’ Sterling brand suit equal to tailor made at one-half less in price, at the Chicago Bargain Store.
