otto EXPECTS
To COME BACK
MUCH THINNER

Today is the last. day the people of
Tolleston will have to see the real Otto
Borman, the Otto Borrnan they have
known for so many years, and who has
been a character in Lake county for
the past thirty years. Mr.. Borman
leaves today for Battle Creek, where
he will remain for a period of eight
weeks and upon his return to the thirty
ing Calumet region, expects to bring
back with him It's pounds less than he
took away. The Tolleston real estate
man no wweighs exactly 400 pounds.
The people of Tolleston would be the
most startled persons in the region if
in eight weeks from now Mr.. Bornan
should alight from the train at Gary
and sprint all the way to Tolleston. But
this may be exactly what he will do, for
he feels confident that he will come
back to the city weighing not more
than two hundred and twenty five.
Mr.. Kunert, former township trustee
of Calumet township, has returned to
Tolleston after being at the sanitarium
for a week. and claims that he lost
forty pounds in that length of time
and that he never felt better in his life,

INTERPRETERS WITH
A SUNDAY SHAVE
Gary Barber Arrested Yes
terday for Following
Trade.
WANTS A TRIAL BY JURY
Having Violated Rules of Union He is
Charged With State Law
Violation.

The question of closing up barber
shops in Gary at the proper hour, in
the agreement of the boss" BARRIERS,
yesterday led to the arrest of F. P.
Deem and one of his employees on the
charge of keeping open barber shop
on Sunday. The warrant was sworn
out by Harry Hardenbrook, another
barber in Gary who believed in living
strictly up to the rules
Mr. Deem not only shaved people on
Sunday but advertised the fact that he
would. He claims as his defense that
others were violating the closing
agreement every night and that If they
did not stop it he would totally disre-
gard the rules. He found that most of
them did not close up at o'clock on
every night, except Saturday. and that
the violations were frequent. After he
made his investigation he sent out his
ultimatum to the other barber proprfe-
tors of the shops.
The result was that Deem advertised
the fact that he would shave on Sun
day and carried out his plans. He was
warned that he would be interfered
with, but decided to take chance The
warrant was sworn out the first thing
in the morning. and both f. P. Deem
and David Askey were booked at the
local police station.
Attorney Clarence Bretsch, who will
defend Deem. says that he will ask for
a jury trial.

FORMER AFF|NIT|ES
CAUSE FOR WORRY
Wretched Woman However, Finds
Too Much Sweetness in Life After
Potion Passes Her Lips-Calls
Loudly for Help, With the Result
That Life is Saved.

Nellie Williams, a colored woman of
Gary, after being helplessly tangled up
in several affinity deals, decided Satur-
day after noon that she had better
shuttle off this mortal coil by the car
bolic acid route, but after she had swal-
lowed the deadly poison changed her
mind and frantically called for phys
ician. The physician hurried to the
rescue, and after a few minutes work
saved Nellie's life with the aid of the
stomach pump.
When the police went to investigate,
Nellie decided after a calm delibera-
ton over the matter that she did not
attemp suicide afer all but that she
took the acid by mistake, and told
them So This led into a careful in
vestigation of the mentally depressed
woman with the result that such a
tangled up snare of affinities was found
that even the police became desperate
when they tried to unravel it all.
Adds New Trouble.
1t seems that Nellie had gone deeper
and deeper into the love game until
threats of murder suicide and other
terrible acts were made against the
woman, and then against each other,
by the principles. The longer Nellie
lived the more complicated the situa-
ton became until finally she decided to
end it all withsa few drops of carbolic
acid.
This she swallowed at exactly 3:o5
o'clock at her residence at Sixteenth
avenue and Pennsylvania street. The
instant the burning liquid started to
course its way down her throat, she
screamed for help and several of her
gentlemen friends rushed to her assist
ance They then hurriedly summoned
the physician with the result Miss Will
liams is still burdened with her troub-
les as before, with an additional one
caused by the acid.

grave question whether it was really
colored at all or not Now they have
gotten the people so they will buy it II
it is but Slightly colored. H. r. Wright,
state food and dairy commissioner, on
whom is placed the responsibility of
enforcing the state law, has watched
very closely the sales of oleomargarine
in Iowa. He has lately ordered several
prosecutions of violations of the state
law in selling oleomargarine that is
yellow.
The claim OF the manufacturers is
not direct answer to the charge. They
escape this by declaring that oleomar-
garine is pure and clean and made of
only wholesome products and Mr..
Wright has been urged many times to
come to Chicago and see for himself
how clean and wholesome the product
Is and they have offered always to pay
all his expenses there and back and
the expenses of his deputy also.
The theory of the Iowa law is not
that oleomargarine is harmful as a food
product. The law was created so that
the people could not be fooled as to
what they were getting. 1t is possible
to manufacture oleomargarine that
Only CHeullcdl analysis Woulu us
close was not butter made from cream
from cows milk. But the Iowa idea is
that the people have a right to know
what they are eating and furthermore
that as a protection to butter making
in the state the product should not be
colored in imitation of butter. 1t is not
likely that the effort to get the Iowa
law modified will be successful for
Iowa is a farm state and the farmer
naturally wants protection against the
oleomargarine manufacturer. The effort
to reduce the national revenue law
may however. be successful. The ar
gument of the oleomargarine manu-
facturer is that good butter is so high
priced that the poor man can not af-
ford TO use it and should be allowed 10
use the poor mans butter which they
claim is oleomargarine and which they
claim they could sell to the poor man
much cheaper if the revenue was only
? cents pound instead Of 10.
