Some Startling Figures.

The monthly bulletin for June of the
State Board of Health offers much food
for reflection if not positive grounds
for fear. Who of us would believe a
report of this sort except it came back
ed-as does this-by unquestioned au-
thority and cold, convincing statistics?
The white plague is indeed with us.
and the figures of it's inroads on the
health of the Hoosier folks is startling
in the extreme. Give this matter your
attention for month:
Consumption sent to the graveyard of
this state, during the month of June.
just passed more victims than did small
pox, Influenza, spinal meningitis, pheu-
monia whooping cough, scarlet fever,
Group diphtheria and typhoid fever
combined. Just 10 more than all the
above dreaded diseases put together.
The exact figures for the month are 292,
or at the rate of over $500 per year.
What to do about it? Well, physi-
clans of the highest ability and in every
portion of the country are urging upon
the people an apparently simple rem
edy Keep out of doors as much as
possible they say, and by all means
see to it that your sleeping hours are
plenty of fresh, pure oxygen may be
taken into the lungs with every res
piration during the night hours. We
say this is an apparently simple rem
edy. 1t is. So simple, in fact, as to
appear trivial and imperative and in
efficient Air is such a common thing

Have You Ever Noticed It?

There is some reason in a sign, Spit
on the floor if you do it at home and,
1T is a violation of the city ordinances
to spit on the floor of this street car"
when there is a cuspidor available, but
the admonition to be careful where you
expectorate is not very effective when
you have to go to the door or poke
your head out of a street car window
in order to accomplish your purpose.
The Chicag, Lake Shore & South Bend
Interurban emphasizes the complete
ness of its equipment when it provides
cuspidors for its patrons. Even the
railroads, which are usually insistent
upon having their passengers go to the
vestibuled ends of the car, pull up the
platform and spit into the outdoors
which is rushing by, utterly fail to
provide a substitute.
Should Provide Cuspidor.
A notice in one of the metropolitan
papers is to the effect that one of the
railroads has made arrangements to
have it's cars thoroughly sterilized at
the end of every run. That is a good
idea, but it would be better if they
provided cuspidors for their patrons
and kept the floors clean in the first
place.
1t is hard to imagine more unusual
tary place than the average street car.
Time and again women enter the cars
of the local line and have to keep their
skirts off the floor to keep them from
becoming soiled in a flood of filth.

ALL GARY Up IN ARMS.
DR.. Templin Also Demands
That State Send a
Dairy Inspector.

The agitation for pure milk in Gary
has broken out again and yesterday Dr..
T. B. Templin telegraphed to Indian
apolis and asked the state board of
health to provide a dairy inspector. He
informed them that all of the expenses
of his investigation would be paid by
the city of Gary. of which Dr. Templin
is the health officer.
DR. Templin received information
that one of the dairymen in the coun-
try districts, south of Gary. called at
the store OF q Gary druggist and pur-
chased quantity of formaldehyde.
DR. Templin says that some of the
farmers in that section have the most
unsanitary dairies imaginable There
is no way in which the milk cans can
be thoroughly steralized and many OF
them are filthy when the milk is put
into them.
He is also of the opinion that there
are a number of tubercular cows from
which milk is taken and sold. It is
understood that a veterinary, attached
to the state board of health, will visit
the milk dealers in and about Gary and
make an examination of the cattle
DIR. Templin also got into communica.
ton with the Chicago health officials
and will learn all they know about the
lunsanitary conditions which exist ii
Lake county dairies.
In the end Dr. Templin hopes thai
he will be able to clean up the diaries
in the neighborhood of Gary and max,

of the law.

you know. So is water, and we are
apt to despise both; yet if deprived of
either death is inevitable. That's how
common these two superlative bless
ings are.
Our people are blind and foolish,
that's all, and there are always to be
found so-called doctors who car far
more for the patients purse than for
the patient and who coddle the sick,
and drench them with drugs when they
know full we'll all the patients needs
is what nature has furnished so gen
erously-air, air! Get away from the
Isuffocation of the steam oppressed fiat
or the stove-heated room and pass your
nights out under the stars. Fill your
lungs with the only thing the tuber
colosis germ fears and from which it
flies in terror-oxygen. See to it that
you have plenty of warm covering, of
course. 1t isn't necessary to be uncom-
Portable to be healthy, but give your
lungs a chance-give them the food
they crave-pure air, and there is no
shadow of doubt that the great white
plague will before long fold its pallid
wings and sink from sight forever.
If you have no way handy for out
door sleeping, get an Enterprise Tent
Cot, put it up on your porch. back or
front, throw in a pillow and a few
warm blankets and when bed time
comes crawl in and enjoy nights rest
Follow this up for a year and you'll
laugh every time you hear people talk

MARRIED IN HAMMOND
And Comes to Grief With
Second Husband in
Chicago Today.

Mrs. Elsie Sprumk of Chicago has
decided that she is not married to John
Schmitt and has asked the Circuit
Court to dissolve the matrimonial
bonds, IF any exist" between them.
Mrs. Sprumk says she has discovered
that the marriage contract she entered
into with Schmitt is invalid because of
her failure to comply with the Illinois
statute forbidding the remarriage with
in a year of persons divorced. April
26, 1907, she was divorced from Matthias
Sprumk and July 8, 1907. she went with
Schmitt to Hammond, where they were
''pretendedly married" before a justice
of the peace. In September, she says,
she learned that the ceremony was in
valid and since that time has not lived
with Schmitt.

PREPARES FOR COURT R. l. MARI IN HOSPITAL
Judge v. S. Reiter Returns
to Hammond For Sep
TENDER Campaign.

Judge Virgil S. Reiter has returned
to Hammond to prepare for the open
ing Of court the second of September
and incidentally to nurse that little
campaign he had on just at the pres
ent time.
The judge has been hearing stories
of the increasing activity in a political
way and he comes back to get into
the game Mr.. Reiter is feeling fine
after his little outing and is now in
the best of health.
The enormous amount of business
which was done in the Lake superior
court. with Judge Reiter on the bench,
was a severe tax on his nervous energy,
but now that he has had complete
rest he feels as fit as fiddle.
He is ready for the campaign and
began talking politics almost as soon
as he returned. He is pleased with the
reports he has received so far.

superstitions of Great Minds.

Many celebrities have been super
stitious to an extreme degree. Gaze
sar never mounted his chariot with
a preventive against disaster. Lord
Bacon and Sir Thomas Browne, be-
lieved in witchoraft, Richelieu con-
suited an astrologer, Bismarck was SUI
perstitious about Friday and about
sitting thirteen at a table. Actors
are proverbially superstitious Ra-
chel and Mars believed their success
assured if they met a funeral just
before appearing on the stage.

There are very few men, for they are
the principal offenders, who would not
spit in a cuspidor if one were con-
veniently at hand. But it is too much
of a tax on the average mans initia-
tive to ask him to step to the street
car door to expectorate.
New Road Sets Example.
The Chicago, Lake Shore & South
Bend interurban has taken the proper
step and its example should be fol-
lowed by the other lines. And If there
should be a man who, from lack of
training or from his own shiftless in
clinations, should still persist in max
ing these new and beautiful cars the
spitum- covered cattle cars that people
have been used to in this region, he
should be dangled at the end of a
rope at the end of the fastest car on
the road

such power only to the Republican

Many electors have no second
choice, it is argued, while the law
says a voter shall not exercise his
first choice unless he has a second
choice. The provisions as to the
first and second choices and as to
the nomination of judges are be-
HeVed to be unconstitutional and II

It will be urged by counsel for the
litigants that only the names of per-

The provision relative to choice
for United States senator will also
be attacked on the ground that it
interferes with the free choice Of the
state legislature, to which body

States leaves the selection Of United

spokane, wv ASA, S}cg. g. SfuQl-
dates IN various parts OF Washing
ton, unsuccessful at She election
Sept 8, for nomination on the state
and district ticket to be voted for at
the national election in November,
have completed preliminary plans
for a concerted attack on the con-
stitutionality OF the direct primary
election law adopted BY the legisla-
ture of 1907. Judge w. Test of Ritz
vile. has already fled his petition,
assailing the non-p rtisan judiciary
feature. alleging also that the legis-
lature had no ght to require can
didates to pay q filing fee or force
them To declare their party affilia-
ton. The state canyassing board
has been ordered to show cause why
the writ should not issue. 5l
Other petitions to be Med will re-.
auire the supreme court to pass on
such questions as first and second
choices for state and congressional
Offices where four or more candi-
dates appear on the ticket also on
the manner Of the election OF a Jul
dietary On the non-partisan ticket.
Attorneys who have Investigated
the second choice provision declare
that this section Of the act is I'M
undoubtedly unconstitutional. The
provision Is new one and as there
Is no legal literature or precedent
upon the subject. SO the fight
through the courts will be in the
nature Of pioneer litigation.
Il It is apparent that hardly any of
the official returns are correct, The
law prescribes that no vote can be
counted unless the elector has voted
for both first and second choice can
dIdates, and the total OF the first
and second choice should agree.
This result is not shown IN any coun
tx in the state. It develops that III
Spokane there is difference Of
more than 400 between the total
cast for governor. For attorney
general the discrepancy is more
run through the counts ii each
county and the tumble is one that
not even the most enthusiastic sup
porters Of the act can reconcile.
