The cities along the Chicago, Lake
Shore & South Bend interurban, in
cIuding Hammond and Gary. are look
ing forward to the time when the
South Shore line will run its cars di-
rectly from South Bend into the bust
ness district of Chicago. There is some
talk along the east end Of the line
that this may be accomplished with

western terminal are awaiting for some
action from the Chicago city council,
giving the Kensington & Eastern rail-
road the right-o over the streets

East Chicago. Ind. Feb 2S.-Yester-
day was washington's birthday and
patriotism ran high in Indiana Har-
Dor and East Chicago. On every hand
there We're evidences OF the festive ma
ture of the occasion. The city hall was
closed. SO was the postofhce. So were
the schools Ditto the banks. Men
went about with solemn faces when
the name of the father of his country
was spoken. and shook their heads and
said ''he was a great man." That is.
two men did so. They stood on the
corner Of Forsyth and Chicago avenues.
One was a mill hand and the other a
member of the carpenters union. They
knew it was Washingtons birthday.
And there may have been others. But

MOTHERS mi HOGS,

Once upon a time a little mother
began to feel tired all the time. Her
appetite had failed her for weeks be-
fore the tired feeling came. Her three
little girls, once a joy in her life, be-
came a burden to her. 1t was mama"
mama" mama" all day long. She
had never noticed these appeals until
the tired feeling came. The little
mother also had red spots on her
cheeks and a slight dry cough. One
day, when dragging herself around,
forcing her weary body to work, she
felt a sharp but slight pain in her
chest, her head grew dizzy, suddenly
her mouth filled with blood.
The hemorrhage was not severe, but
it left her very weak. The doctor had
said: "You are all run down and need
a tonic" For a fee he prescribed bit
tiers made of alcohol, water and gen
tian. This gave her false strength for
a while, for it checked out her little
reserve. When the hemorrhage &C.
Cured, she and all her neighbors knew
she had consumption and the doctor
should have known it and told her
months before.
Now she wrote to the State Board of
Health and said: 81 am told that con
sumption in it's early stages can be
cured by outdoor life, continued rest
and plenty of plain good food. [ do
not want to die, 1 want to live and
raise my children to make them good
citizens. Where can | go and get
well?'
The State Board said in reply: "The
great Christian state of Indiana has
not yet risen to the mighty economy
of saving the lives of little mothers
from consumption.
"At present the only place you can
go is a grave. However, the state will
care for your children in an orphans
home after you are dead (and then IN
a few years a special officer will be
paid to find a home for them. But,
save your life! Never! That is a
cranky idea,' for a member OF the
sixty-ffth assembly said so on the
floor of the house. Besides he said,

WHAT is YOUR BABY WORTH?

How dear does America hold its
babies? What is America doing Tor
her babies? Mortality statistics tell
an awful story of the waste of human
energy witnessed by the high death
rate among infants. Almost one
fourth of those who die annually In
this country are babies under the g
of five years! Almost one-fifth are IN
fants not n year old!
The life of a child under two years
old in New York City is computed by
economists to be worth exactly $69.45.
Why so little? Because of n unlike
lihood of it's growing to manhood. 1t
has practically no life expectancy,
therefore no insurance company will
insure a child under two. The courts
have repeatedly declared that the life
of a baby was worth absolutely moth
ing, when parents have sued for re-
dress for a baby run over in the
streets! Just last week a baby was
run over in a crowded street not far
from here, and killed. So angry were
the people that they dragged the man
off his wagon and would have torn
him to pieces had not the police In
terfered. Yet every day in that same
street, dirty milk is sold, contaminated
meats bought, dust and dirt and gar
bage spread in the air, to kill hum
dreds of babies, and not a finger of
protest is raised! 1t is not because
the people do not value babies, but
because they do not see what it is that
kills them.
This is a matter for state legisla-
lures and boards of health. So long
as ignorance persists, so long will the
law be evaded; and nj attempt at en-
forcement, however persistent, a
avail. A campaign of education is in
order, so that no parent, no citizen
of this country, can fail to know that
careIessness in sanitation means lit
orally a slaughter of innocents.-The
Delineator.

THE HOME
THE

I'm sick of the unending green,
I'm weary of the trees,
And stated with the nodding flowers
And drowsy hum of bees;
Give me my barren hills again,
Old Homesickness to easel
l seem to stifle in the lanes,
The trees obscure the sky;
All, for the gorges deep and bare
And peaks that tower high,
And forests o would take for moss
So distance tricks the eye!
I'm weary for the canyon sides
That drop so steep and sheer,
Tn hungry for the sagebrush fiat,
Exchanging year on year,
The open range, the mountain air,
So thin and pure and clear.
l wonder if that Wonderland
Is as it used to be,
With room to breathe and room to think
My thoughts unbound and free;
I wonder if the mountains are
BY God! I'll go and see!

Once upon a time also, a big Fat hog
awoke one morning and found he had
a pain. He squealed loudly and the
farmer came out of his house to see
what was the matter. Hes got the
hog cholera" said the hired man. So
the farmer telegraphed to Secretary
Wilson of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture (who said the
other day that he had 5000 experts in
animal and plant diseases) and the
reply was: Cert! sure, I'll send you
a man right away" Sure enough. He
said he was a D. V. S. and he was,
too. He had a government syringe
and a bottle of government medicine
in his hand bag and he went for the
hog. 1t got we'll. 1t vast Cranky"
for the government to do this and it
could afford the expense for the hog
could be turned into hams, sausage,
lard and bacon! -,

save the life of a little mother and
it could never afford it either!

variety? Heavens, no! Perish the

So the little mother died of the pre-
ventable and durable disease, the
home was broken up and the children
were taken to the orphans asylum.

The condemned man was first made

The Florida had experienced fog at

been proceeding at moderate speed,
blow ing her fog whistle frequently.
