A SAD CONDITION.
Six Young Children Cannot Be Taken
From Consumptive Mother
at Laporte.

DR. N Hurty, secretary OF the
state board OF health is much wor-

John A Wood, superintendent OF the
Laporte CITY schools and president OF
the board OF children's, guardians of
Laporte county Mr. Wood tells OF a
family OF six children whose mother
is in the last stages of consumption.
The children, says the letter, are at
home with the mother, they play
around her bed and breathe the in
fe'cted atmosphere of her poorly-fur-
nished, poverty stricken room. Mr..
Wood says he sees no way open by
which his board cam save the children.
These six little children are sure
TO become diseased said Dr. Hurry,
after reading the letter, and there is
no law by which we can save them.
The board OF children's guardians has
no power under the law TO remove
those children from the danger, and
We must simply SIT by and watch
them contract tuberculosis from their
mother 1t seems strange that the
people OF the state OF Indiana will
endure such lack OF law AT each ses-

effort to have law passed that would
enable the health authorities of the
state to do something to save child

every time there is sufficient opp ST.

With the closing of the Grant
Thursday night az eleven O'Clock,
Whitley county becomes Saloonless
for the first time in more than fifty
years. As was the case when all the
other twelve saloons in the county
closed, nothing unusual characterized
the closing of the Pence place. When
the people of the county by major
ity of Lac, decided to abolish sa-
looms, it struck a number of Saloon
rsts rather hard, but they faced the
inevitable and when the time came
for them to close they did so with
