The fall which Aretz received broke
nearly every bone of his back and neck,

contract for the construction of the
furnaces.
The unfortunate victim was working

ground. The exact height was eighty

broken by the fall The ambulance
was then called and he was removed
to Jones' morgue.

A DAY TN GARY LAND
GIVE PUBLIC RECEPTION
Gary Institution Announces
Musical Event for
March.

Miss Susan Drought OF the new
Conservatory of Music, located on the
second floor of the Feuer building. an
nounces that the conservatory will
give a public reception in March, prob
ably in the Cary hotel. This will be
for the purpose of bringing the peo-
pie of Gary in closer touch with the
Institution and its instructors.
1--WE are doing much more work in
Gary than we expected" said Miss
Drought yesterday, and we look for
a very bright future for our school
At the present time there are not very
many people in Gary in q position to
take advantage Of the training, but
there undoubtedly will be as soon as
the people get settled"
Miss Drought is also a member or
the faculty Of the American Conserva-
tory of Music in Chicago. She spends
two days out of the week in Gary.
There are a total of five instructors in
the school and all of them are kept
busy all of the time that they are in
Gary.
1t is, probable that in the near future
the Gary institution may blossom out
intoa full fedged conservatory OF
music and dramatic art for at the
present time the instructors are work
ing individually. although their stu
dents are taught in the same rooms

The Models Secret.
A STORY FOR FAT FOLKS.

The Cloak Models association has
raised their calling to the status OF
fine art. The development and reten-
ton of a perfect figure is made the
study of their lives. AS a result they
receive high salaries and, of course
live corresondingly well.
But good living and perfect figure
are seldom contemporaneous in the
same lady. They are so only when
that lady is willing to pay for her good
times by most strenuous and persist
ent physical effort to keep her fat
down. So the premier models, some of
whom are middle aged, have had to
fight good fight hitherto.
Hitherto is used advisedly. for now
the struggle is less keen. Instead of
dieting and exercise being their re-
lance, the following mixture is asked
to do the work of keeping these ladies
professionally fit: One-half ounce Mar
mola, 4 ounce Fluid Extract Cascara
Aromatic, and 8 4 ounces of Pepper
mint Water.
This is taken a teaspoonful after
meals and at bedtime, and reports in
dictate it does not violate the trust put
in it. Those with a tendency to fatten
up keep their figures stationary by its
means. while many finding themselves
overfat have lost as much as a pound
a day by its use

HUMANS LIVE WITH
ANIMALS IN SHACK
Truant Officer in Gary
Finds Family Living
With Cattle.
8 PEOPLE AND s BEASTS
Father, Mother and Six Children
Sleep With Two Horses, One
Mule, Cow and Calf.

Special officer w. P. Rea, who is
employed by the city of Gary to in
vestigate the attendance in the pub
lie schools and investigate other mat
ters in connection with school chill
dren, reported today that ne had dis
covered a family with children in the
most deplorable condition.
Among other things Officer Rea said
that he found these people, Samuel
Robert Hecht and family, residing in
the same room with the following ami
mails: two horses, one COW, one mule,
and one calf These were all housed
together in a room the size of which
by actual measurement was 16x32 feet.
The stencil in the room, according to
officer Rea, was almost unbearable and
the place was too dirty to keep an ami
NAL properly.
The matter first came to the atten-
tion of the special officer when one of
the teachers in the public schools.
Miss Clara Anchors, located at Four
teenth and Broadway, reported that
two of her children were so unelean-
ly that she could not permit them to
remain in the room with the rest of
her scholars any longer. Rea was
then sent to investigate the conditions.
Humans and Animals in One Room.
The damp, dirty little shack where
the six children were housed, was
found on the corner of Eighteenth and
Georgia streets. The building was
constructed by Hecht himself, upon
property which he did not own. He
is in the teaming business and kept
two horses and the mule with which
he worked, in a stall in the same shack
as that which he lived. Right by the
side of these were the COW and the
calf
The shack had no floor. and the chill
dren sat around the place on the cold
damp sand Their ages ranged from
| 21z years old to a boy 10 years old
| Only two of the six children attended
school. The only ventilation in tn,
little building was a window at on,
end, eighteen inches square. This lie
but little light into the shack. All o
the children were dirty, unkept ant
unfed, and the smallest one locke,
sickly and pale.
In other shaeks in the vicinity OF
ficer Rea found conditions almost a
bad. In one place he found a goa
under the dining room table, and il
another place he found the famil.
raising ducks and geese in the sam
| room that they lived in. He ais
found that their drinking water wa
bad and that they were all improperl
fed. Rea will report the matter t
Health officer Templin, who will max
an investigation at once and improv
the conditions.

After leaving the house she declared
that eagle tried to induce her to walk
to Gary. She refused to do this, de-
elaring that she had money enough to
pay the car fare. eagle, on the way
to the steel town, told stories of his
great prospects. promised the girl that
if she served him faithfully she would
want for nothing. They left the train
at Gary and started on their event

followed, leading toward Tolleston and
despite the fact that eagle had as
serted that the restaurant was but a
few feet from the interurban station,

Miss Brown began to suspe anything.
Where are we going. Ism this a
long walk" she asked, and eagle re-
piled that he was merely going to the
farm of an uncle. near Tolleston, where
he would get a supply of fresh meal
for the restaurant.
