East Chicago, Ind, Jan. IL. - Last
nights council meeting witnessed the
presentation to the city council of a
deed covering the long -wished-fo rip
arian rights TO the city park property.
The Gary Land company were the dom
ors and the deed was executed by E.
]. Burlington and T. J. Nyman, the
president and secretary of the cor
poration. The deed covers all of block
'B" of the original survey of Indi-
ana Harbor and its value to the city
is incommensurate. East Chicago has
long enjoyed the unusual distinction
of being practically the only city along
Lake Michigan without any riparian
frontage.
The only request that the Gary Land
company made with the granting Of
the title was that the property should
be used for park purposes only. If
at any future date the property is sold
for residences or factory purposes, the
land as well as any additions that
may be reclaimed from the sub
merged land, will revert to the orig
inal owners
The council accepted the deed and
voted their thanks to Attorney William
Duff Haynie, of Chicago, who as at
torney for the United States Steel Cor
poration, and after months of labor
by Alderman Albert Lewis, succeeded
in securing the deed from the Gary
corporation. Following its acceptance,
George W. Ross and C. A. Westberg of
the East Chicago company presented to
the city their deed covering the city
park property on Adds avenue in the
HarboT These two deeds now give the
city absolute possession of the city
park, and the work of improvements
will be resumed as soon as the cold
weather is over.

Mr.. Lowden tells on interesting feat
ure of the case. On his arrival in
Terre Haute, Parker was arrested and
turned over to the police. Lowden then
went to the hotel and registered for the
night, intending to bring his prisoner
back to East Chicago the following
morning. Parker declared that he was
not going to pay the ss7 and even went
so far as to employ a well known
Terre Haute attorney. They tried a big
bluff, said Lowden, yesterday, but it
didn't work" The local constable is
sued his edict that either the money
would be paid or Parker brought to
East Chicago for trial and imprison-
ment under the boarding house act.
1t did not take long for Parker sr.. to
see that the affair as not a hoax. and
to raise sufficient money with which to
release his son from custody The costs
brought the total amount due the con-
table to $500 and after its payment
Parker was released. The offense OF

ADVICE TolWOMEN
A Message from a Famous Beauty
Specialist tosWomen4Lacking in ~,
Energy and Vitality.

Thousands of women vainly at
tempt .to>improve their compilations
and Ito remove blackheads, crows
feet and other blemishes, through
the use of cosmetics. This treat
ment fails because the trouble lies
far deeper than the skin. They are
suffering from impure and i'm
poverished blood. This condition
is in many cases due to catarrhal
condition of the whole system which
finds its expression IN sallow, muddy
complexion, dark-circled eyes, gen.
eral weakness of. the system, and
perhaps most plainly in the weep
ing of mucous membranes that is
commonly called catarrh.
In fact this whole tendency is,
properly speaking, Catarrh. Danish
this catarrh, and the complexion
| will clear as if by magic, eyes will
brighten, faces become rosy and
shoulders erect. Perfect beauty
goes only with perfect health, and
perfect health for women can only
be obtained through one certain
treatment-that which will cure
catarrh.
Nine. Swift, New York, the famous
beauty specialist known throughout
the world and an accepted authority
on all relating thereto, states that
the one positive and permanent
relief for catarrh is Rexall Mucu-
Tone. Here is her letter:
I can strongly endorse the claims
made for Rexall Mucc-Tone as a
cure for systemic catarrh. Its tonic
effects are remarkable. 1t builds
up the strength and restores vitality.
1t women who are tired and run
down, lacking in energy and vitality,
will use Rexall Mucu-Tone, they
will praise, as I do, it's strenthening
and healing qualities.
Rexall Mucu-Tone works through
the blood, acting thus upon the
mucous cells-the congestion and
inflammation of which causes local
catarrh. This remedy causes
poison to be expelled from the sys-
TEN. and the blood is purified and
revitalized. Thus the natural func-
tons of the mucous cells are restored
and the membranes are cleansed
and made strong. We know that
Rexall Mucu-Tone does relieve
catarrh. We positively guarantee to
refund the money paid US for this
remedy in every case where the
user is dissatisfied. 1t is a builder
of vigorous health and creator of
good compilations. Price so cents
