WANT A PURE
FOOD EXHIBIT
CONTINUED from page ~.

asked to recommend that Hammond be
placed in a higher class in insurance
circles and that there be a correspond
ing reduction in the insurance rates.
Considering the fact that Hammond
is not only bearing the expense of four
paid fire departments, but has built
four new fire stations in the past two
years and is paying a high insurance
rate. 1t is apparent that its business
men are now paying more for protec-
ton from fire than any other city Of
its size in the country.
Plan Pure Food Show.
The matter of pure food and indus
trial exhibit is the idea of E. F. Johns
ton. the secretary of the association,
who is really the moving spirit of the
organization.
Mr.. Johnston's idea is that the in
dustrial and commercial Importance of
Hammond is sufficient to warrant the
business men in holding a pure food
and industrial exhibition similar to
those which are held in other large
cities of the country.
All of the grocers. the milk men, the
farmers, the Reid Murdoch and other
companies in the region which deal
in foodstuffs will be asked to make ex-
hibits.
The various industries in the city
will also be asked to make an exhibit
and give the people of the city an idea
of the great range of manufactured
products that are made here.
OF course, the Standard Steel Car
company would not be asked to make
an exhibit of a steel car, but ii would
be asked to show pictures of its cars
and its plant so that the people could
get better idea of what is being done
in this giant concern.
Band Concert Feature.
| The idea is to hold the exhibit for
] a week an dhave band concerts and q
program every afternoon and evening
Mr.. Johnston says that he would ask
the various organizations about the
city take charge of the exhibit for q
day and be responsible for IT
There are many concerns outside Of
! the city which are only to glad to make
an exhibit In a show of this kind anC
which do it for advertising purposes
| These concerns would help to make tn,
display attractive.
These plans will be taken up at tn,
next meeting of the Hammond Bust
ness Mems association and Will be dis
cussed by the members and any out
siders who may be interested in thu
project

The DIAGNOSIS.

In his notes Of trip to the Pacific
region Ed. Howe tells Of an old man
who came into the smoking room of
the car. sat down beside him. and
said abruptly: Il have been to see a
noted doctor in Frisco. The doctor
looked at me and said. DO You want
me to tell you the TRUTH | said I
certainly did. Well. then, the doc
tor continued, you're old; that's all
that ails you.
The old man puffed away at his
cigar. somewhat feebly, l thought"
says Howe, "and seemed buried in
reverie. l looked at him more close
~ and saw he was wan and pale, and
older than l had first thought.
Wasn't that pretty cold he con-
tinued. after a time. I knew I was
getting old, but the doctor was bru-
tai. suppose he is the greatest nerve
specialist in the country today. but
he's brutal (He was looking out Of
the xindow.) There's another blank
ed ,raveyard, 1t seems to me l have
not seen anything else since | left
home
Then the old gentleman arose and
hobbled out of the smoking room

General Demand

OF the Well Informed Of the Void has
always been for simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy Of known
value; laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its com

wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with .ts ex-
cellent combination of Syrup of Fig and

Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for its remark
able success.

CAME FROM EUROPE.
That Familiar Little Plant, the DAN
deiion, is Not a Native.

Perhaps none of our plants is more
common or more familiar than the
dandeiion, and certainly none is more
wonderful. says a contributor to Har-
per's Magazine. First Of all, it is not
native, but was introduced from
Europe. whence have come many Of
our worst weeds, fitted by centuries
OF struggle in cultivated field to over
come the native plants OF a contint mt
where cultivation had previously been
practically unknown and where ma
tiyes had had no opportunity to adapt
ing themselves to the conditions OF
civilized agriculture.
One OF the dandelion's strongest
points IS the ability to obtain nOurish-
ment under strong competition and in
unfavorable situations A deep, strong,
perennial taproot draws all available
nourishment and moisture from sur
face and subsoil. stores nournishment
during the winter, and enables the
plant to start far and away ahead
OF most Of its competitors. The dan
de!ion blossom Is one Of the first to
appear in the fields and parks OF New
York City. This same taproot is ex-
ceedingly bitter, which very likely pro-
tects 1t from destruction by moles
and other animals. At least I do not
remember having seen a root that had
been disturbed by animals of any
kind.
But only small portion of its food
comes from the soil Air and sun
shine are just as necessary. for the
air is food and the sunshine is diges-
ton for our vegetable neighbors. Note
the shape of the leaves; narrow at
base and widening to the outer end.
they form dense rosette that not
only gets for the dande,ion all the
air and sunshine coming it's way. but
smothers all but the most sturdy COM
petitors. Here lies the secret of the
dandelion's presence in lawns and
walks and open waste places. In lawns
the grass is kept low, so that it can
not overtop and shade the dandelion.
while its own leaves lie so low and
close that they are little hurt by the
mower and can smother the grass I'm.

Sale Of Dickens Birthplace.

The house in which Charles Dickens
was born, S93 Commercial road, Ports
mouth. was sold by auction at Ports
mouth the other day and realized
G1.125. There were only two bidders
the mayor. Sir w. T. Dupree, who
was acting on behalf of the town. and
competitor, whose name was not
disclosed The bidding started at
$500 and in less than two minutes
had advanced by $500 bids to $500
Then the competition rose by $3.50 to
$4,250. At this point Mr.. J. Clark. who
was the auctioneer. consented to
take twenty-five pounds advances and
in less than quarter of an hour
from the opening Of the sale the bid
ding reached $5625, at which price
the house was knocked down to the
mayor. Mr.. F. G. Kitton, represent
ing the Boz Club and the Dickens
fellowship. congratulated the mayor
on his purchase of the house for the
town and promised the assistance Of
the society he represented in convert
ing the place into an interesting Dick
ems museum. The auctioneer men,
toned that half q million strangers
visited Portsmouth every year. and
If tenth Of these visited the house
and paid. sixpence each the purchase
money would be reimbursed in the
first year. The mayor replied that
the town had paid more for the house
than its intrinsic value, but he defend
ed it's conduct that it could not afford
to allow such an opportunity to es'
