No Use for Doctors.

The various doctors in town were
reached over the telephone this morn
ing, and when asked If they had been
called upon to care for any injured
they heaved a noticeable sigh into the
transmitter and answered in the mega
tive. "Our supply Of bandages and
soothing lotions were not brought into
general use this Fourth said a local
practitioner today. The sane spirit
seemed to prevail throughout the whole
city, and those woh celebrated had
about as much use for a physician as
a dog for a sand flea"
A report gained circulation that a
man had had his fingers blown off by a
giant frecracker last evening, but 1t
was not given any credence by the
local police, and physicians knew moth
ing Of the case.
Although Gary had no celebration.
ffices and stores were closed at noon,
and all those who hadn't already left
the city to spend the Fourth, left for
other towns or saw the local baseball
teams battle on the water-soaked
grounds. Chesterton, Chicago and Mil
waukee drew quite a crowd from Gary.
On Saturday a large number attended
| the celebration at Hobart.

For the past three days Chief of
Police Joseph Martin has had four ex-
ira men patrolling the down town dis
trict where the most noise would be
likely to occur. Yesterday the real
test of the sane" Fourth took place.
To be sure, while there was vident care
taken not to make the atmosphere too
glorious" in the vicinity of the po-
lice station, there were numerous pop
pings and an occasional boom heard in
all sections of the city. The fireworks.
however, were confined to the little
crackers that sold for five cents q
bunch, and during the three days these
demonstrations met with no interfer-
ence from the police.
II think the cold weather and the
rain had a tendency to dampen the
ardor of those who generally make the
Fourth noisy one" said Chief Martin
this morning to a TIMES representa-
tive Our orders for a sane Fourth
were generally observed. and we ex-
perineced no trouble during the entire
three days. W made no arrests and

ports"

report of giant fre-crackers or a blank

its headache of last year. Three days
Of celebrating have passed safely and
sanely and the city can congratulate
itself on the rational observance of
the usually noisy Fourth. This is
probably due to the orders issued by
the police department early in the
week. which prohibited the use and
firing of revolvers and f1re-crackers
until Sunday night and Monday. And
the rule was pretty we'll observed. OF
course, there was some celebrating
throughout the town before these days
| but generally speaking the orders OF
the police were obeyed to the letter
There were no arrests made for vio-
lating the orders. but several persons
were taken to the police station and
were later released.

Along with him to town
A score or more unpleasant things
To send my spirits down.

Enough to make me sigh;
He also brings recompense-
The weather ewats the fly.
He comes across the frosty lea,
And in a little while
The festive coal man shouts in glee,
The plumber wears a smile.
The country dweller hunts flat
And finds them rather high
It's winters fault. Who cares for that?
The weather swats the fly.
Oh. winter winds may blow and blow
Through all the livelong day,
The streets be full of nlushy snow,
The skies be drear and gray;
I shall not care cooky then
For wind or street or sky,
I know I'll be contented when
The weather swats the fly.

The president in his message says
that the present high prices are not
the result of the Aldrich tariff. In
this the president is correct. ANY

or living to the tariff should fail; for
living has been steadily increasing for
ten years. Nine cent cattle come

WHAT THE LAW DOES.
The following is a portion of an able
editorial in the Salina Journal In regard
to the pure food laws Of Kansas. The
editorial came as the result of the good
work of Mr.. Ice, resident Of Law
renee who is now one of the deputy in
spectors in Kansas:
Pure food laws are intended to pro-
tect the health . of the public. They
i were not intended primarily to benefit
the retailers or the wholesalers.
Before the enactment of this law the
! food condition in this state was de-
| plorable.
1t was almost impossible to get pure
unadulterated food. Stuff which was
sold as Mocha and Java" coffee was
not MochI and Java.
Pure maple syrup" was made almos,
entirely out of cane sugar.
! Genuine strained honey'' was made
| out of glucose and the bees and CONT
were added.
Pepper and spices were largely aduI-
tera+ed with cocoa shells and had nc
strength.
| Pulverized sugar was 80 per cent corr
starch.
| Nearly all canned meats. condiments
| etc, We're given a heavy slug of en-
balming fluid to make them keep.
| All this is changed. 1t is the consum-
er of the foods that is benefited by the
/ change. It does not help the whole
saler, and it possibly actually cuts
down the profits Of the retailer.
But 1t is good law, and it is on the
statute books to stay.
