FREIGHT AGENTS
HOLD MEETING
Erie Officials Gather in
Hammond for a Heart
to-Heart Talk.
WANT TO BETTER SERVICE
General Claim Agent H. C. Barlow of
New York Summons Men
to Conference.

Erie freight agents to the number of
thirty, stationed at various points be-
tween Chicago and Huntington. met in
Hammond today at the call of H. c.
Barlow of New York, general claim
agent of the Erie railroad The rail-
road men met in the K. of P. hall. and
there the chief claim agent gave a
heart-to- heart talk to the agents
Speaking from notes, he illustrated
how overcIaims and short claims oc-
cur and at the same time made sug
gestions as to how these errors could
be avoided. His talk was an able one.
as he is a veteran railroad man and
is enabled to speak entirely from ex-
perience While It was directed to the
Erie agents in particular. it might have
been beneficial If every railroad man
could have heard him or read what he
had to say.
Wants TO Better esrvfce.
In making this innovation, for such it
is. to call the agents together. the
Erie wants an opportunity to better
its service. 1t is evident that the
company Is willing to give better serv-
ice. and it realizes that in order to do
this it must give the consignor and
consignee the first consideration. Mr..
Barlow went into detail in instructing
his listeners, urging them to use all
possible care in handling the goods OF
the shippers, especially those that are
perishable. BY doing this, he argued
not only much of the work of the claim
adiuster is eliminated but the public
is also given better satisfaction.
G. T. Menish. terminal trainmasteI
of Chicago, and c. c. McCurd. contract
ing agent, We're also in Hammond al
the meeting today.

proprited 1t. But they got the best
of the Hammond men this afternoon
when they put the word first in front
of the name and let it so a that

THERE MAY Be
OTHER OBJECTIONS

When the news went out yesterday
that the board Of public works had
signed the Gary & Interurban fran
chise, there arose Immediate opposi-
tion in the residence district along sib-
ley street. and there was talk of taking
formal action in the way Of petitions
and remonstrances. At the extreme
east end of sibley street the people are
objecting because they consIdr the
street a residence street while those
nearer the business district are OBJ
jecting because the cars will be a
disturbing element to the children in
St. Pauls German Lutheran school and

FOR YOUR HEALTH'S SAKE
PREVENTION OF coNTAeIoN.

We should be as willing at all
times to do as much to protect
our neiehbor's children as we
would demand that our neighbors
do to protect ours.
The all important thing to do in
preventing the spread of conta-
uion in a community is to see to
il that sick children are not al
lowed to mingIe with children
that are we'll. This means the ex-
clusion of sicI@ or aIling children
from the schools and churches and
that they must not be permitted
to nnlngIe with other children IN
til the department of health says
It is safe for them to DO so.

this morning when United States Mar

tions which were telephoned by Judge

George WiIk VS.. the Block Pollock
Iron company of East Chlvago was
tried. and later settled when Judge
Anderson threatened to take it from
the jury.
The settlement finally made was one
in which the Block Pollock Iron com
pany agreed to pay the defendant
George Wilk. $500 damages and stand
the court costs in consideration of his
dropping the suit.
Refused $1,000; Takes $500.
The settlement was particularly a
fortunate one for Attorneys John B.
Peterson. J. D. Kennedy and Morris
RosentheI, representing the defendant
company. In the morning. before the
trial they offered Attorneys w. ].
McAleer and Dan Moran $500 to set

would even have agreed to pay $3.50
to avoid trial

chances with the jury The trial was

Consist Almost Wholly Of Sugar In
Most Valuable Form-Less Than I
Per Cent ndigestible.
Recent analyses undertaken to de.
termine the exact food value Of dried
fruit show that dried curTants contain
70 per cent Of sugar IN its most val
liable form. This great saccharic pro-
portion Is already In the shape of
grape sugar and thus Is potential to
take up its work Of producing and
maintaining energy and vitality. 1t IL
what Is known as "lnyert" sugar-a
composite of deKtrOse and leyulose. It
provides against nervous exhaustion.
A second and not less striking fact
is the smallneSs Of the proportion OF
woody fiber or cellulose the essential
and chief constituent of wood, husks
aud skins. From the appearance Of
currants one might imagine that a
very large proportion of the article
was made up OF skins AS matter
OF fact the insoluble proportion of
the skins, that which would not be
capable OF digestion, IL remarkably
minute, amounting to only about /
per cent or less
1t is quite clear In view Of this high
food val, n proportion TO cost that
dried grapes, particularly in the form
OF currants, occupy very high place
In the list OF concentrated foods and
that they deserve much higher place

General Antoine Simon and His Tur.
bulent Island Republic.
The coup by which General Antoine
Simon, with 5000 troops at his back,
gained the presidency of Haiti was
not the work of a moment or day.
When the two chambers Of the
Haitian congress met In joint assem-
bly, and elected him the successor Of
Nord Alexis without one dissenting
voice It was the elimination OF a
scheme which originated several years
previously. 1t is now 100 years since
Haiti threw off the rule Of France
and It has had many rulers In that
time Generally the man who could
rally /the most soldiers to his sup
port has won the presidency. 1t was
In 1902 that Nord Alexis won 1t in
that way. But he had not been living
