100 CHILDREN IN
GARY OF SCHOOL AGE

The taking of the school enumera-
ton of Gary was completed yesterday
by w. P. Ray and his assistant, James
Mcpherson, and it was found that the
population of persons of the school age
in Gary had been increased by about
800 Although the official count has
not been made the figure. according to
superintendent Writ, will be between
100 and 1850.
1t was expected that the increase
would be nearer five hundred than
three hundred. but the small increase is
accounted for by the fact that the for
eigners who were engaged in con-
struction work had larger families as
rule than the class OF men now en-
ployed in the mills in the city, accord
ing to Mr. Writ. The population. there
fore, is now changing from the shifting
class which engages only in construc-
tion work to those who will remain in
the city permanently.
The object Of the school enumeration

due to the lack of physician qualifica-
lions on the part of would-be runners.
President Jerome Timmons instruct
ed those present last night regarding
the rules governing the race, but as
all who entered were not able to be
present at that time, Chief Judge John
+. spellacy will give final instruc-
lions before the race starts.
DR.. Greenwald was on hand and ex-
amined a number of runners last night.
Some of those who had contemplated
starting, had notified Secretary Madsen
that they would be unable to compete
on account of the cold and rainy
weather, but their names, however.
were not taken off the list as they may
change their minds by tomorrow.
There have been some rumors afioat
to the effect that a few professional
runners, under assumed names, had en-
tered and expected to start in the race.
The club officials want it understood,
however, that any runner who has COM
peted in the race and won a prize in
it, and it can be proven that he is not
resident CT Indiana Harbor or East
Chicago, or is a professional. will be
disqualified. AS the prizes will not be
awarded until May Is, there win be
plenty of time in which to investigate
eligibility of the winners.
The reason for the delay in giving
out the prizes is that an inscription
with the name of the successful ones
will be engraved on the prizes and in
order to do this the latter will have
to be returned to the factory for that
purpose

school funds can be divided among the
schools Many of the people of Gary,
not understanding this, refused to give
the names of their children and caused
considerable trouble in taking the CEN
sus. The taking of the census started
April 10.
The increase of 800 school children
over the number found in the enumer-
alton is regarded as a good, healthy
growth, and the amount allotted to
Gary for her school funds will be pro-
portionately greater.

Most of the cases where persons

neys in the cases and several settle
ments have already been made Among
those who have already been recon-
pensed for their injuries are Albert
Traun of Hammond, who was willing
to receive $500 for the damage done
to his person. Victor Windett of Chi

Disease Cured by cuticura.

'My six year old daughter had the
dreadful disease called hives for two
months. She became affected by play
ing with children who had it. By
scratching she caused large sores
which were irritating. Her body was
a complete sore but it was worse on
her arms and back. We employed a
physician who left medicine but it did
not help her and I tried several rene
dies but without avail. Seeing the
Cuticura Remedies advertised,
thought would try them. I gave her
a hot bath daily with Cuticura Soap
and anointed her body with Cuticura

lieved the itching and in short time
the disease disappeared. Mrs. George

Cream as a Food.

Few housekeepers realize the value
of cream. 1t is more nutritious than
butter. and the most readily digested
form of fat that can be taken. Per
SONS consumptively inclined or with
poor digestion, aged persons. and
those who are subject to cold extremi-
ties, will be much benefited by lib
eral use of cream. 1t is better than
cod liver oil and is a food suitable for
anyone. 1t would undoubtedly be used
more freely If it were not for the er.
roneous idea that it is an expensive
luxury. Butter is freely used, and yet
it is more expensive than cream. Use
more cream and less of some other
foods.
