3 ROBBED IN A NIGHT

Burnside is getting to be a very
tough place. Three robberies was the
record last night. They are: John
Jarvis. a travelling man, robbed of SIS
and gold watch; Frank Kaoner, a
switchman, robbed of SIS and silver
watch; William Mater, a laborer at the
plant of the Illinois Steel company.
robbed of 50.
All the robberies occurred between
the hours of o'clock in the evening
and in the morning. The robberies
took place at the Fort Wayne tracks
at Ninety eighth street and MacFar-
land avenue. The robbers made the
telegraph pole their hiding place and
whenever any one passed they held
them up.

PROBLEM OF HOMES
NEARS SOLUTION
Brighter Outlook in Gary
Than Ever to Care for
Populace.
OUTSIDE CAPITAL BROUGHT IN
Prominent Cleveland Man Decides to
Erect 100 Houses in First
Subdivision.

At the present time there is bright
er outlook than ever before for the
supply of the great demand for houses.
With the inpouring of the employees of
the c., L. S. & E., which will entirely
fill the little settlement around Kirk
and perhaps overflow, the question has
been brought forcibly to the minds of
the business men, of how the diff
Guilty can be remedied.
It would be utterly impossible at the
present time for any new factory to
start operations in this city because of
workmen. Therefore the efforts of the
Commercial clubs booster, Edward
harrington. has been instructed to bend
his efforts to secure greater supply
of houses rather than more factories.
At the present time there are many
business men who are living in the
city. apart from their families whom
they cannot bring here because of the
scarcity of houses.
There is chance, however, that
many of the big house builders
throughout the county can be induced
to invest a quantity of money in
houses in spite of the money string
ency which exists at the present time.
Among these are C. w. Dittlebach, a
prominent business man of Cleveland,
who has practically decided to erect 100
houses in the first subdivision of Gary.
He will erect twenty five temporarily
and If satisfied with these. seventy five
more will be erected at once. The resi-
dences will be most modern and spa
cious and a credit to the city. Other
large capitalists of Chicago are also
said to be interested in the proposition
and may be induced to erect houses.

TAX TITLE SALE IGNORED
BY OWNERS OF PROPERTY.
Hobart Man Finds that Houses are
Built ON Farm Land for which
He Holds Deeds.

T. ]. Stearns of Hobart brought some
property in Miller at a tax sale. Pub
LEGATION was made of the sale but
Stearns heard nothing from the former
property owners.
Yesterday he discovered that the
former owners of the property had
built several new houses on it during
the interval since he had made his
purchase and he informed them that
they were building on his land.
They were very much surprised and
will now either have to move the
houses or tear them down.

WALLACE GETS THE PLUM.

Mayor Debraie of East Chicago yes
terday appointed city engineer to
succeed Robert Reed. whose resigna-
ton was acted upon at the last meet
ing of the city council. The lucky
man is c. X. Wallace who was form
erly in the employ Of the Chicago, Lake
Shore & South Bend interurban. Since
his association with that railway, he
has lived in East Chicago.
Mr.. Reed left Monday from New York
for South America, where he is to
form one of a party of engineers who

that the Aetna powder mills are only
mile and a quarter from the corner
of Fifth avenue and Broadway and
that some of the large office and mer-
camille buildings would be threatened
by the conclusion that would be
caused by an explosion.
President T. E. Knots of the town
board has promised to take up the
matter at the meeting today. and it is
possible that an engineer be hired to
make an investigation and see just
what the danger is.
Attorney Bretsch, who seems to be
concerned as to the possible effect of
an explosion on the city of Gary, will
also call the matter to the attention
of the Commercial club, which will
make an investigation.
The officials of the Aetna powder
mills laugh at the suggestion that an
explosion could be of enough force to
threaten the city of Gary. If there
was danger of that they say their own
lives would not be safe
AT Aetna there is no great quantity
of powder or other explosive stored in
any one place. In fact. while the ex-
plosions that have taken place have
proven dangerous to the men who have
been in the locality and in some in
stances have killed or one two work
ing men. there has never been any
danger of exploding other stores OF
powder.
The sand on which the powder mills
are located is also another safeguard
| and it is said that an explosion on the
sands of Aetna would not be felt near
ly as readily as if theground was solid
| or as if the mills werel coated on rock

as 1t it almost certain that Senator
La Toilette will not accept the COM

One cannot evade the idea that it
will be necessary for the democrats
to nominate a candidate who can
draw dissatisfied republican votes
and that large independent vote that
is not satisfied with the Roosevelt
Taft policies on many issues. Such
voters do not trust Mr. Bryan. He
is too radical on many matters to

RETIRED BUSINESS MAN
FAvORS new THEORY
E. H. Lambert, of Everett, Massachusetts
Believes Stomach the Seat of Life.

One of the most Interesting state
ments made recently concerning the
mich discussed Cooper theory, that
has spread over the country during the
past year, is made by E. H. Lambert,
a retired business man, whose home is
at lis Francis Street, Everett, Mass.
Mr.. Lambert has this to say in con-
nection with Cooper and his medi-
cines:: Some time ago / read an ar
] ticle about this man Cooper, in which
he claimed that stomach trouble was
directly responsible for most ill health.
He went on to say that, although his
medicine did nothing but get the stom-
ach in sound condition, it wonld, in
many cases, remove kidney and liver
trouble and various other ailments.
He argued from this that the stomach
was the main cause of sickness, and
stated that the success he has had
with his medicines was due entirely
to this fact.
Il am now fully convinced that this
theory is correct, and believe Cooper
has a really remarkable medicine,
Judging from my own experience.
i have been a sick man for five
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1908-04-07

years. Three years ago was told by
a physician that l had Bright's dis
ease of the kidneys. I have treated
constantly for this trouble since, with
out results. After reading the article
l have mentioned, l purchased some
of this man Cooper's medicine. have
been astounded by what it has done
for me. l was relieved to some extent
within "a hours. Today my health is
better than for five years, and so far
as l can tell, my kidney trouble has
disappeared.
My wife, who had stomach trouble
for some time, tried the preparation
after noting it's action in my case.
and her Improvement is fully as mark
ed as mine. She now eats heartily
three times day without any distress
whatsoever. Her nervousness has also
left her. I certainly believe this mans
success is fully justified, as he I'm,
doubtedly has a wonderful medicine. ~

SCHOOL GARDENS IN TEXAS.
Agricultural Branch of the Training
of San Antonio Children.

The school garden system of San
Antonio, Tex, is On an established
practical basis. 1t is said that this
city has more gardens attached to it's
schools than any place of its size in
the world. There are 2i9 OF these
cultivated plots attached to the TWEEN
ty-nine public schools. The gardens
are in charge of school superintend-
ents, but the work of planting, cuiti-
waiting and harvesting the products of
each is carried on by the pupils of
the school to which the garden be-
longs. The gardens vary from one
tenth to one-quarter of an acre. 1t is
estimated that the total acreage is
mort than 100, or equal to that of
good sized farm.
The boys of the school take great
pride in their gardens. The teachers
declare that since the gardens were
established the boys are much more
| industrious in their studies. that
that they learn more readily and that
! they all show evidence Of material
Improvement in their health and ply
steal condition.
Inc climate of San Antonio Is Pc
culiarly adapted to the operation of
the school garden system. The work
can be carried on during practically
the whole school term. Certain vege-
tables can be grown successfully dur
ing the fall and winter. The spring
gardens are planted early in Febru-
airy and the products are matured and
harvested by the time the school term
ends in June. An enormous quantity
of vegetables is grown. The boys
take such keen interest in the work
that they give little time to playing
the games that usually consume a
good part of the time of young stu
dents. There is much rivalry among
the different schools over the gardens.
Text books on agriculture now are
used in the public schools of San An
tonic. The youths are given a basic |
training in farming and gardening
and are enabled to put their knowl- |
edge to practical use in the gardens |
that are provided for them. Energet- |
ic boys who become interested in the
work do not confine their labors to |
the school garden but many of them
have converted unsightly back yards |
and vacant lots at their homes into
cultivated plots.
