This advice and these suggestions are given the public with the approv- al of Dr. W. A. Greene, county and city health officer, to whom, more than to any other person in the coun- ty, is due the credit for reducing ty- phoid in Douglas and all over the county in the past two or three years to marked degree.
 T hope that during the coming summer and fall months the number of typhoid cases here will be reduced absolutely to the minimum" said Or. Greene yesterday morning. Already through a vigorous cleaning-up sys- tenn over the county we have been enabled to greatly reduce the preva- lence of the disease. The physical condition of the city generally is all right. and it only remain for every resident to take precautions, in the interest of his neighbor as well as himself. to minimize the possibilities of disease germination and spread,
 Fight "Skeeters" and Flies.
 Flies and mosquitoes are, of course, the greatest pest we have and among the most frequent sources of infection. Crude petroleum in the cesspools and lime in the vaults will go liar towards killing mosquitos and will make flies scarce. Weeds must be kept cut down, low places in yards filled in and rubbish cleared away.
 The cooperation of the public in t;lis matter will be especially whole some now for the reason that the city council has shown leniency to the pub lie in forcing the people to connect with the sewer system. While it was in the interest of the public health to arbitrarily force people to make the sewer connections, yet the council realized the hardship such arbitrary action would entail in many cases and decided upon policy of leniency. However this does not go to the ex-

tent of. permitting unwholesome or grossly unsanitary conditions to pre- vail at any place. The health laws of the city will be vigorously en- forced. It is desirable, however, that every property owner have his prop erty connected with the sewer sys- tenn by the middle of May. and every one should stretch a point to have this done for the common veal"
 How to Exterminate Rodents.
 Dr. Greene emphasizs that the im- portance of exterminating rats and mice should not be underestimated. The campaign recently waged against these rodents in San Francisco is an indication of what modern disease fighters think of the menace to health they constitute.
 In this connection science has re- gently created a virus which is en- dorsed by all cities and prvate cor porations which have used it as the best medium of exterminating the TO- dents. The virus inocuIates rats and mice with a disease which kills in from eight to fourteen days On ac- count of their cannabilistic tendencies the disease rapidly spreads among the pests and the result is that they are almost completely exterminated in any one locality, and the infection frequently spreads to a great dis tance. An dvantage of this virus over other methods is that the rats go away from the premises when stricken, thus preventing a bad odor on the premises. The virus affects no other animals and is harmless ex- cept to these rodents. Anyone inter- ested in this virus can get the name of. it from Dr. Greene and the virus can probably be purchased here.
 Dr. Greene is also prepared to make tests of any water thought to harbor typhoid microbes and will make any tests without charge to private citi- Zens.

FALLS FROM WINDOW
Albert Rettig, Aged Six,
Drops From Second
Story Window.
Especial to The Times.)

East Chicago, Ind, June S.-Albert
Rettig, the six-year-o son of S. E.
Rettig of the livery firm of Lewis &
Rettig, fell from the second story win
dow in his home yesterday afternoon
and as a resule is so sick today that
he can't eat anything excepting ice
cream DR.. Schlicker, who is in at
tendance, is satisfied that no bones
were broken in the fall, but must await
developments to learn whether the boy
is internally injffiured. The lad was
able to lay on the couch today, but his
stomach will not hold any food only
ice cream. His younger brother, who
is four years old, seeing his brother
eating the ice cream watches him with
sympathetic eyes and asks himself
whether he ought to take the risk OF
two story fall for the ice cream.
The injured boy yesterday after
noon tried to raise the curtain and
lost his balance. He fell against the
screen which gave way and both boy
and screen fell to the brick pavement
The boys fall was somewhat checked
when he struck the electric light wires
The distance from the second story is
about twenty feet and his escape from
death is almost miraculous.

ROGERS GETS FIRST BLOW

What many believe to be the death
knell to gambling in South Chicago
came at SOB o'clock Saturday evening
when the Enterprise pool and billiard
parlor of George Rodgers, 9219 Com
mereial avenue, was raided by squad
of police from the Fifteenth precinct
lead the raid.
The raid occurred at the time the
loop district was thronged with Sat
urday night shoppers, all of whom, es
pecially women and children, who hap
pened to be in the immediate vicinity,
looked upon the haul with askance.
The Rogers pool and billiard parlor
is known from to in the South Chi
cago district and the usual number of
sports had gathered together for their
Saturday evenings evening. While the
rail came as surprise to the man
agement, the tip had been given
earlier in the evening to anly a few
and those who were in possession of
the desired information barely had time
to let it be known.
In all there were seven, including
Rogers himself, taken to the police
station, who later gave bonds to APP
pear before Judge Foster. Neil Lykke
of the we'll known real estate firm of
1ykhe A1OTTell, went Oh the DOnQS
of the entire number
The bonds under the new municipal
court law is not less than $500 for
each person.
This is the first time in the history
of the place that a successful raid has
been made, and, coupled together with
| the standing of manager Rogers In
! the community, a great many seem
more than surprised. Rodgers is re-

SATURDAY HALF HOLIDAY
Summer Months Brings Out
Shoppers in East Side
Last Week.

Saturday was the beginning of the
half-holiday during the summer months
for many employees in South Chicago
and not for many weeks has the loop
district been so thronged with Satur-
day night shoppers.
It was regular payday for a num-
Der of concerns in the district and this,
together with the propitious weather,
was responsible for the increased ac-
tivity in the shopping centers.
The most noticeable increase in the
Saturday trade was to be observed at
the various fountains where the re-
freshing liquid was served by an in
creased force of soda dispensers 1t was
q typical summer night in June and
South Chicagoans took advantage of
the weather man and stole march.
White City had it's quota of repre-
sentatives from South Chicago, too, but
they did not venture to visit the resort
until after their shopping duties were
well In hand.
Considering the fact that it is cam
paign year. the business men have no
justly reasons for criticising the amount
of business transacted Saturday and
Saturday night and all of them almost
to a unit declare that a noticeable in
crease in the industrial conditions in

Board of Officials Meet on Saturday
at Lowell to Investigate
Cedar Greek.
bitches CAUSE TROUBLE

The county commissioners went to
Lowell Saturday for the purpose of in
vestigating the cause of the frequent
overflow of Cedar Crek and deciding
on the best meand of renewing the
trouble.
Oscar Krinbill of Hammond and
County Engineer W. F. Bridge also of
this city, were in the party and a thor
Tough inspection of the creek was made.
It was discovered that the great amount
of ditching that has ben done by the
farmers of late has resulted in a in
crease in the flow of water in the
creek that is greater than it's capacity.
During a recent freshet the abut-
ments of the bridge, which runs
through the center of the city of Low
ELL were partly washed out and the
bridge is in bad condition.
Problem To BE Solved.
| The problem which the county COM
missioners face is that of first pro-
viding for the increased flow of water
in the creek and then building the new
abutments of the bridge so that the
space between them will accommodate
laIl of the water that comes down
stream.
The cause Of the first washout al
the bridge was an accumulation OF
driftwood under 1T. This was not
cleaned out as should have been done
and the damage was the result
w. F. Bridge is now working out {
plan not only to repair the damage bu1
to provide against it in the future anC
las soon as his plan is ready it will
be recommended to the commissioners
The bridge over Cedar Crek at Lowe FL
is very peculiar 1t runs across thu
stream at an angle and there is

Iings built right over the stream.

John Bennett, prominent Gary re-
publican and president of the saloon
keepers association. was attacked in
the rear of his place in the Schlitz
building by Jack Belmont, and had it
not been for quick move by which a
razor was knocked out of Belmont's
hands, the fight might have ended SER

Fight Started by Argument.
The fight started over an argument
and Belmont started after Bennett with
the razor. Bennett was too quick for
him, however and before Belmont
could do any cutting the razor lay

then pitched onto him and gave him a
sound thrashing. They beat him over
the head with beer bottle and before
they were through with him he was a
candidate for the hospital.
There was a free-for-all fight in the
saloon run by John Bonic at the cor

The story as related by Mr.. Hizer-
man is not given any credence by the
police. The man says that after step
ping outside of his house, about 3

lost in the dark and was unable to find
his way back. While wandering
around he happened to find the police
before he did the house, and the officers
