Especial to Lake County Times.)
Crown Point, Jan. S.-The town board
at their meeting last evening decided
to take the first steps in the construc-
ton of sewer system, and ordered a
consultation with w. P. Shields, a civil
engineer of Chicago, on the subject.
Mr.. Shields will be asked to give an
estimate of the cost of making sur
veys, draining specifications and pre-
pairing plans for an up-to- date system
Of sewers.
1t is generally conceded that a puri-
1cation plant Of some kind will have
to be put in to dispose of the sewage
and a thorough investigation will be
made by the board as to the best sys-
tenn to be adopted.

Foreigners at Gary Continue
Revelry Beyond End of
American Holidays.
After Religious Festival Comes So
clal Enjoyment-Brings Mem
ories of Fatherland.

Gary, Ind, Jan 8-Last evening and
today make up the close of the holiday
festivities among our foreign popu-
lation. This includes Hungarians,
Poles, Slavs, Austrians and Servians.
The festive season among them be-
gins with Christmas and runs thirteen
days after Christmas day. The earlier
celebrations are more of a religious
nature but these of the last few days
are genuine feasts, with plenty of food,
drink and song.
The entire population of some eight
hundred people living along the river
on either side of Broadway, is taking
part in the celebration. Yesterday in
front of every shack could be seen
groups of men and women clad in
their best. watching interestedly the
preparations for the feast of the even
ing. Two forked sticks had been driv-
en- into the ground some ten feet apart.
In the forks hung a pole some twelve
feet in length which had been cut
green and peeled SO that it was clean,
and this stick or pole ran through the
length of the body of fat, young
porker that had been dressed careful
ly On the ground underneath a good
fire Of Goals burned and one or two men
watched carefully the roasting pig.
Inside the shacks the women were
making great preparations in the way
of baking and boiling.

BY evening the preparations were
complete and the occupants of the diff
ferent shacks sat down to the feast
The roast pig was brought in on an

freely interspersed with heavy drains
of beer, wine and whisky. 1t took no
great effort of the mind to picture as
one sat at the feast, a similar feast
in the wilds of the Black Forest or in
the mountain homes of this interesting
people, or the feast of a feudal baron
with his vassals
Here they were at home and their
songs of home and its associations
were sweet music to the ears of the
feasters and the singers were encored
until they must rest from sheer phv-
sical fatigue.
In some of the places they became
over -boisterous, but most of them were
well behaved. The occasion is one Of
interest to the casual outsider who
may chance to be invited to partake
with them and gives an interesting
glimpse of the pleasant side of life of
Woodworking frugal people

LaPorte. Ind, Jan. 7.-Stolid indif-

success.
Have Lost Hope.
They have to all outward appear
ances lost hope that their lives may
be saved by legal or executive inter-
vention, and 1t Is the opinion Of the
prison officials that both men will go
to their death without a tremor, with
an Indifference which even the weird
ness of the hour or the fact that they
must answer a higher judgment will
fail to awaken. There has been some
talk of an appeal to the Greek consul
at Washington on behalf of the slayer
of Demetrius Kacklemanis, but it is
doubtful II any further interest will be
taken in the fate of the man who had
little regard for human life when his
passions became aroused. There is
more interest in the Greek than in
Lapidat for the reason that the Greek
Is believed to know but little of Amer
lean laws, while Lapidat killed his man
with careful premeditation.
There is little to relieve the mon
otony of passing days for the men who
must satisfy the exacting demands of
Indiana justice. They eat their meals
apart from the other convicts, and are
permitted to take a certain amount of
exercise each day. They are privileged
to look at books and papers, to receive
as many visits from the chaplain as
they desire. and little whims are read

Drink PLENTY
OF GOOD WATER

The people here do not drink
enough water to keep healthy" ex-
claimed a well known authority.
The numerous cases Of stomach
trouble. kidney and bladder dis
eases and rheumatism are mainly due
to the fact that the drinking OF
water, natures greatest medicine,
has been neglected.
stop loading your system with
patent medicines and cure-alls; but
get on the water wagon. II you are
really sick, why, of course, take the
proper medlcines-plain common
vegetable treatment, which will not
shatter the nerves or ruin the stom-
ach."
When requested for such a pre-
scription for the cure OF rheumatism
and kidney trouble the answer was:
You must make the kidneys do
their work; they are the filters OF the
blood. They must be made to strain
out of the blood the waste matter
and acids that cause rheumatism; the
urine must be neutralized so it will
no longer be source OF irritation to
the bladder, and, most or all, you
must keep these acids from forming
in the stomach. This Is the cause
of stomach troubles and poor dlges-
ton. For these conditions woulu
suggest the following prescription,
which is composed of only vegetable
ingredients, which can be obtained
from any good prescription phar-
macy. ANY one can mix them by
shaking well in bottle: Fluid Ex-
tract Dandelion, one-half ounce,
Compound Kargon, one ounce; Com.
pound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces, To be taken in teaspoonrur
doses after each meal and at bedtime,
but don't forget the water. Drink
plenty and often. This valuable in
formation and simple prescription
should be posted up in each house
hold and used at the first sign of an
attack Of rheumatism, backache or
urinary trouble, no matter how
slight.

Love Of the circus is common
