SHINY" FAT FOLKS.

One of the fat woman's chief griefs
in life Is her shiny, greasy skin. If it
be pimply besides, as it probably is
Cor may be-, her cup of anguish is full.
Powder and cosmetics simply hide these
horrors for a season. very short sea
san. They are not cure for them.
There isn't any cure for them except
getting rid of the grease beneath When
she does that she finds her complexion
improves.
In this way only can 1 account for
the clear. natural complexion acquired
by those who use the Marmola receipt:
One-half ounce Marmola, y ounce
Fluid Extract Cascara Armatic, 3lz
ounces Peppermint Water. BY causing
the excess flesh to be absorbed, it clears
the blood of the globules of fat which,
physicians say, cause the greasy, oily
skin of the over-fat.
This simple receipt makes a mixture
both pleasant and harmless. It causes
neither wrinkles nor stomach disturb
ances Tt is also quite inexpensive
Make it point to try some; take a
teaspoonful after meals and at bedtime
for week or two and see if your oily
skin does not quickly disappear AS
you lose your fat your complexion
should progressively improve, and af-
ter month or so, when you have los,

nearly perfect.

Commission Makes Report
Cities Along Lake Michigan
Water

noxious, decomposing organic matter
is very great and becomes public
nuisance.
The fact that this stream of sewage
flows directly through the city of Ham
mond renders life along its banks un-
pleasant. and even dangerous.
The most important, most damaging
of these sewers is that at the Glucose
works The average daily discharge
is about 100000 gallons. The sewage
is in the form of wash and steep waters
used in the preparation of grain and
in the process of manufacture. It con-
tains large quantities of the nitroge-
nous principles of the corn and other
ingredients which evidently form an
excellent culture media upon which bac-
terra live and multiply. The waste wa
ter also deposits large amounts of the
buck corn for some distance around
the mouth Of the outlet. This organic
material in a decomposing and putri-
flying condition is found in quantities in
front of the Hammond pumping station.
The odor of qualification emanating
from this sewer is noticeable for con-
siderable distance and at time with
northerly winds, passengers ntrains
passing through Robertsdale are made
sick. The citizens of Hammond are be-
ing served with heterogeneous broth
under the disguise of drinking water
The private six-foot sewer of the
Standard Oil company, which discharges
about 100000 gallons daily into the
lake, has an especially damaging in
fluece upon the water supply of Whit
ing. AS has already been shown, there
are time when four-fifths of the water
supply of the city is composed of this
sewage.
The water supply of Indiana Harbor
and East Chicago is of much better
quality than that of either Whiting or
Hammond, but it is for from being of
the desired quality, and 1t is affected
by the harbor affiuent of the Inland
Steel company's plant.
The whole territory covered in this
| investigation is polluted most of the
time
After careful analysis of all the
data collected during this survey, it
becomes readily apparent that the wa
ter supplies of Indiana Harbor East
Chicago, Whiting and Hammond, as at
present taken from the lake. are abso-
lutely of no value from a sanitary
standpoint and that they are not safe
AoA trimming d. any time u TIC yeai-
The study of the distribution of the
sewage also shows conclusively that it
: will be of no value to extend the in
/ takes farter into the lake until the
present sources of pollution are perma-
nently removed.
! No single municipality can hope ade-
quately to handle the situation. The
problem of the purified and permanent
ly potable Lake Michigan can only be
solved by the concerted efforts of ev-
cry city on the southern shore, aided
by the joint action of the states of Illi-
nois and Indiana. To this end legis-
lation authorizing the establishment
of a sanitary district is advisable and
is suggested as the first step toward the
bettermen of civic sanitary conditions
of Lake county.

CLEAN THE SIDEWALKS
Snow May Cause Gary Dam
age Suit This Coming
Winter.

One of the earliest ordinances that
the people of Gary are demanding at
this time is one to compel the property
owners to clean their sidewalks from
the snow. Incidentally such an ordi-
nance, 1t is argued. would also pro-
tect the city against damage suits.
OF course, up to the present time, the
snowfall has been very light, but later
on when the heavier SHOWS are left to
accumulate on the sidewalks, making
them slippery and dangerous some ac-
ton ought to be taken by the town au-
thorities to compel the owners to keep
the walks clear.
At the time the last snow fell it was
not cleared off by some Of the business
men on Broadway, and as conse-
quence there are sections Of the walk
that by constant traffic have become
very slippery and accidents are likely
to occur at any time. 1t would be well
If the board took up this matter at its
next regular meeting.

tFrom state Chemists Report,

Is it not stronge that, in this country,
at least, the development of our ma
tural resources, the building of cities,
the creation Of great industries, has al
ways meant destruction of the natural
purity of lakes, streams and under
ground water?
The cities along Lake Michigan are
awakening to the fact that their most
valuable civic asset. a pure water sup
ply, is in great danger of being de-
stroyed, and that already they have sac
rificed hundreds of lives on the altar
of ignorance and carlessness. and
wasted at the sick bed and cemetery
far greater resources that would have
preserved their water supply in it's
pristine purity.
For instance, it is claimed by the
city board of health of Hammond that
that city with its $4,000 population had
this last year half as many cases of
typhoid fever as the whole city of Chi
cago. with a population one hundred
times as great.
Statistics furnished by the board Of
health show that the typhoid death rate
of Hammond for the years 1903 to 1907,
inclusive has reached a maximum Of
140 per 100000, and a minimum of 60,
the average being S4.6 per 100, 900 popu-
lation The city of Whiting has an
average death rate of 47.S and East
Chicago 4S per 100000 from typhoid
1t has been accepted as a general
rule that a continued typhoid death rate
above 20 is an indication that some
thing is at fault with the public water
supply.
The character of the lake water will
shortly be Influenced to a greater de-
gree than at present by the opening of
canal water way which will connect
Lake George and the Calumet river
with the Lake at Indiana Harbor
Water works intakes in some in
stances have been placed with the idea
that the lake current would act as a
protection to their water supply. This
| idea is a pronounced fallacy by Major
W. " Judson, Corps of Engineers of
the war department, who has found no
positive currents in Lake Michigan.
The bottom of the Grand Calumet
river is heavy clay but because of the
continual deposition of organic mat
ter and silt coming from the sewer out
| let's it is a mass of ooze its entire
length.
The chief local sources of the pollu-
ton of the water of Lake Michigan, in
the vicinity of Lake county, are:
1. The discharge of the Calumet
river and harbor water at Indiana Har-
| Dor into the lake.
q The discharge of local sewers
into the lake.
g. The shore wash and the STRINGS.

and currents.
