PNEUMONIA DAYS
HAVE ARRIVED

The pneumonia days have come
said DR.. J. N. Hurry. secretary of the
state board of health, yesterday.
DR.. Hurry declares the statement
true one because cold weather has
come, which means that the people
will house themselves more closely
than before, and get their bodies in
condition for the disease. To warn
danger, he is preparing some Informal
ton in pamphlet form for general cir
culation, the advance sheets of which
were In his hands.
Last night he said, Il rode down
Illinois street in a crowded car. Not
a single ventilator was open, and the
air was foul and sickening. I rode on
the platform to escape breathing air
which had probably been used four or
five times. I spoke to doctor friend
of mine on the platform. After getting
Whit of the air he said: It's more
work for the undertaken. 1 guess I
could use few cases of pneumonia +"
Dr. Hurty's warning states that in
December, the pneumonia month, not
less than 230 persons, now we'll and
strong, will lie dead of pneumonia in
| the state of Indiana. This has been
| the rate in previous Defenders. He
says: BE temperate in drink and
| food, sleep not less than eight hours in
an extra well ventilated bedroom, and
don't ride inside steam or trolley cars
when the air is foul. To breathe foul
air is a good way TO lower the body's
| disease resisting powers"
He gives the following sarcastic ad-
vice: ITO bring the disease when
ever you want 1t, drink freely of slim
ulants, take a few cocktails or high
balls, many cups of coffee and many
cups of tea every day: eat quantities
of meat and salad, dig into society
hard and exhaust your strength; prac-
tice all kinds of intemperance, be sure
to keep out Of the fresh air; don1
ventilate your bedrooms, library and
office and ride in the. close, thrice

doing all these things doesn't bring
you pneumonia, then you are indeed ex-
ira strong So many business mer

vention, enjoy a big feed spend mucf
time in the hotel buffet with tobacct
smoke and bad air, and then go HON,

improvements association against the
various railroads which have blocked

rs NEARING COMPLETION


Attorney 7. P. Beuscher. the legal adj
visor for the board OF extension of the
German Lutheran church, was In Gary
yesterday looking after the construc-
ton of the Lutheran church in this city.
So near completed Is the building at the
present time that the local congregation
feels that they may be able to hold
the dedicatory services the first week
after January.
The date has not been set as yet.
however, howing to the fact that any
sudden change IN the weather at this
time would seriously hamper the work,
and the contractors would not be able
to have the work finished as soon as
they expected. Attorney Beuscher
states that he is well satisfied with the
progress of the work to date, and that
the church will certainly be completed
before the first of February.

COMMISSION At WORK
Project of Burns Ditch Is
Taken Up Today By
Those Interested.

The Burns ditch commission, which
was appointed some days ago, began
its first work today. A meeting was
held this morning at the Victoria hotel,
Gary, at which time Randell H. Burns,
who is the father Of the project, sub
mitted his plans for the ditch. They
will be considered first of all, as they
give the first outline OF the course
which is to be taken by the waterway.
II this course is not satisfactory the
commission itself will lay out a prop
er course, and then proceed to make
the spread of the assessments. The
committee will remain In session until
all the preliminary work is disposed
OF in order that the first ground may
be broken next spring without hitch
The committee was scheduled to hold
a meeting some time ago, but this was
postponed until the Porter county men
could secure more necessary data.

The body of the unfortunate man was
found lying beneath two switch-tracks
of the Pennsylvania company, about
half block from the Harbor canal The
body was badly bruised and the head
crushed by it's conclusion with one of
the rails. Aside from the various con-
tusions and the crushed skull, his body
was not torn. and he had evidently
been thrown by a passenger train on
Saturday evening. The body was found

stead of using the Kennedy avenue
route. Nimon insisted that he could
reach home by walking down the Penn
sylvania tracks, towards Whiting, and
after bidding the officer goodbye. COM
menced the walk that resulted in his
death.
He must have been struck by the
lengine within half an hour after mis-
conversation with the police-oficer
but as there were a number of trains
passing both east and west at that
hour, it is impossible to determine
which one struck the unfortunate Easi

FACTIONS In FIGHT
OVER RACING BILLS.

ALBANY, N. Y. March 5.-There
were two features of the battle for and
against betting on race tracks yester-
day. The first and most striking was
the speech made by former Governor
Frank S. Black before the joint com
mittee on codes. attacking the govern
ment's race track reforms and espous-
ing the cause of personal liberty. The
second was the failure of the officers of
the State Grange to show up to urge
the legislation at the hearing when the
ministers and reform agents working
for the passage of the bill called for
them. Individual representatives of
twenty county fair associations and
grangers Joined Ex-Governor Black in
attacking the bill.
The submission by the Jockey Club
of a proposal hat the English system
Of credit betting be substituted for
the present system of open betting on
race tracks, and the address of ex-
Governor Black, who dealt with gam
bling as a practical rather than a
moral question:" were the features OF
the hearing.
Governor Black said: 'This propo-
sition must cover all gambling or it is
a humbug. We have plenty of hum
bugs in this world. We have plenty of
humbugs making a living at it. The only
thing you can do to betting is to regu-
late it. The bills are more drastic and

THE LONDON MARKET.

LONDON, March Slowing to the
Improvement of monetary conditions
the directors of the Bank of England
today reduced the discount rate from
4 TO 31a pei cent. 1t was thought In
some quarters that no change would
be made owing to the South American
gold requirements, the less satisfactory
position in Berlin and the delay in re-
turning gold from New York; but with
money more plentiful here. the reserve
being over $3.50, 900, 900, which probably
will be increased by shipments from
Egypt and fresh arrivals from mine
centres, the bank authorities thought
it safe to reduce its rate. The money
market already had discounted the
change by lowering the rates of three
months bills to 3a per cent.
The announcement had little effect
on the market. where buying still is
most meagre. Consols hardened u, but
in other directions the tone became
frmer, with barely a p~erceptible change
in prices.
