New York, Aug. III. P. Morgan
has won his fight to have steel stocks
listed on the Paris bourse The French
government has given its consent and
the actual listing will follow as soon as
details have been arranged.
This fact was confirmed yesterday
by cable from Paris. The French
bankers have withdrawn all objec-
tions on the listing of steel They say
they misunderstood the situation in
America. They believed that the Steel
corporation was in position to in
fluence congressional action on the
tariff. Certain concessions in favor OF
importations into the United States
We're demanded as a consideration for
listing steel, Morgan was not able to
grant these favors. Now that the
tariff la wis signed by the president

Do NOT
WRITE On
STAMPS

When you are sending a special de-
livery letter and put ordinary stamps
on it instead of a special delivery
stamp, don't write on the stamps. So
many senders of special delivery let
tiers have been doing this Of late that
the postoffice department yesterday is
sued warning to the public that let
tiers so posted cannot be handled.
Writing on the stamps" said the pos
tai official makes them worthless in the
eyes OF the postal law. We have been
having quite a lot Of trouble because
those ignorant Of regulation insist
writing across the stamps words "spe-
cial delivery These words are neces-
sary on the envelope to indicate what
the extra stamps are for but they must
be written some place other than
across the stamps"

HAMMOND CHILDREN
IN MUCH SUFFERING
Ignorance of Mothers Large
ly Responsible for Ill
ness Among Babes.
DR.W.O. WEIS IS INTERVIEWED
Tells of Case at Standard Where
Babe Was Fed Tomatoes
and Cucumbers.

Hammonds health at present, judg-
ing from the death rate, is good. Dr.
". D. Weis' reports as secretary of the
board of health shows seventeen deaths
for the seventeen days in August.
Sickness however, seemingly is more
prevalent than conditions warrant, at
least. some of the doctors Judge from
the amount Of calls they receive.
The extraordinary heat in the early
part of August was responsible for
much sickness among the children. sum
mer complaint, the dreaded disease was
present in many homes where small
children are present, but the deaths
have been comparatively few neverth-
less
should Follow Physicians Advice.
IF the mothers would only follow
the advice of the physicians after they
ask them to prescribe for their little
ones there would be fewer deaths and
recovery would follow sooner" said
one physician this morning.
The general course that a physician
follows in the case of summer com
plant is to thoroughly clean the sys-
tenn. especially the digestive organs.
They are kept clean by the use Of
anticeptics and during this period it is
necessary that the child abstain totally
from the use of food. A child can go
ten days without food, if needs be but
there is rarely any cause to be so Sc
we're. Generally, after two TO three
days, permission is given to drink a
slight nourishment. and as the ehild's
condition improves, the amount of
nourishment is increased. But for two
or three days it is absolutely neces-
sary that the child remain without
food.
An Ignorant Mother.
we have our hardest cases among
the foreigners Many of them do not
realize the Importance Of the situation.
Some time ago 1 was called to the
Standard district. where there was a
very sick child. I prescribed medicine
and the course of treatment. Two days
later I went to the same home to see
the child and asked the mother wheth-
er she had followed my instructions.
She assured me that she had not fed the
child Still the child was unusually
sick, and l thought it rather a strange
case. l made more prescriptions, but
before 1 left the house the child took
a vomiting spell. That mother had
fed her child tomatoes, cucumbers, POI

Improves Business District.
This makes it apparent that the
building of the new Schrage block will
go long way towards improving the
appearance of the business section Of
the city of Whiting.
The first floor will be occupied by
the postoffice and Mr.. schrage's bank,
the second floor will be occupied by
flats and the third floor will be de-
voted to Masonic purposes.
Work on the plans viii begin at once
and it is hoped that the building may
be ready for occupancy by the first Of

then be able to make his bow to the

East Chicago, Ind, Aug. 1.-THE
Indiana Pipe Line company has had a
force of men at work for the past few
days taking UP the abandoned pipes
which crossed the canal just north Of
the Terminal bridge. The pipes are
being removed on account of the ap-
proach of the dredge. which is deepen

the pipes some years ago for the pur-
pose of supplying crude oil to the
East Chicago mills and factories for
fuel. The plan seems to have been
unsuccessful, and the pipes have lain
there unused ever since.
