Crown Point. Ind, Jan. 1s.-Angust

great name for himself. He goes on
record as inaugurating a style in bank

ONE MILLION DOLLARS
FOR A GOOD STOMACH
This Offer Should Be a
Warning to Every Man
and Woman.

The newspapers and medical jour
nails recently have had much to say
relative to a famous millionaire's offer
of million dollars for a ne wstomach.
This great multi millionaire was too
busy to worry about the condition of
his stomach, He allowed his dyspepsia
to run fro mbad to worse until in the
end it became incurable
His misfortune serves as a warning
to others.
Everyone who suffers with dyspepsia
for a few years will give everything
he owns for a new stomach.
Dyspepsia is caused by an abnormal
state of the gastric juices. There is
one element missing. The absence Of
this destroys the function of the gas
trio fluids. They lose their power to
digest food
We are now able to supply the miss
ing element-to restore to the gastric
juices their digestive power, and to
make the stomach well and strong.
We know that 2exan Dyspepsia Tab
let's will positively and permanently
cure disordered stomachs, indigestion
and dyspepsia.
We want you to try them and win
return your money If you are not more
than satisfied with the result.

EVENT MEANS MUCH
TO MAGIC STEEL CITY
More Blast Furnaces Will Be Put in
Operation in Order to Generate the
Gas Which Is to Supply Motive
Power for Big Electric Dynamos-
Additional Men Will Be Added.

Nine rails. the first finished product
Of the Indiana Steel mills, were run
through the rail mill yesterday morn
ing. The event was unceremonious AL
though it means much to the peopIe of
Gary and those interested in the pro-
gress of the mills. The test of both the
soaking pit and the rail mill was per-
fectly satisfactory.
The test of the rail mill yesterday
was the second test of this great de-
partment of the steel mandatory.
The first one, which was held a week
ago. today did not prove a success
owing to lack of power and for various
other reasons. They were unable. in
fact, to produce a rail last Monday. but
succeeded in finding out where the
changes and adjustments should be
made.
Yesterday after the repairs and
changes in the mill had been made
they again tried a rail and this time the
attempt was a complete success.
VIII Employed More Men.
After the steel was taken from the
soaking pit, and sent through the rail
mills, there was exactly nine rails pro
duced, which proved to be satisfactory
in every detail
The producing of rails means that
In short time enough furnaces will
be put in operation to generate enough
gas to run the electric power house and
then the rail mill will be started uu
and rails will be turned out by the
thousands of tons every week.
1t is not known whether or not the
of the rail mill will necessitate
the putting in of more men or not. but
It is believed that it will require sew
eral more men Many of the men that
have been employed in construction
work heretofore, will be used in the on
Grafton of the mill when it is started.

board did not know when they made the
lease, and do not now know, the value

should be a warning to the people of this
state in allowing them to have the -ab-

Washington, Feb Am increase in

Manila bay. This, too. although condi-
tons of practice last fall were more diff

greater than that Of last year. These
facts are shown by the records OF battle

The average percentage Of hits made
BY the guns was over 30 per cent Of the
shots fired and some ships made from 75
to 50 per cent and the increase In rapid
ity of hitting was considerably over 10
per cent
The ranges a which the battleships
fired were from 500 to 5000 Yards, &C
