Our National Doctor

The baseball season is here. The games have started, and redblooded America is happy. For the days of the bat and ball are the days of pleasure and health. Now is the time when tho man of business can wear off the strain of long, hard hours in a stuffy office, forget his cares and worries. and be once again the hopeful, ambitious man. with sound nerves and strong body. For the baseball game is the worlds most wonderful doctor-the restorer of energy and health.
 You go out to tho field. The sun shines brightly, a gentle breeze fans your cheek, and you feel subtle change coming oyer you. The smiling expect ant faces of the men around you make you more cheerful. The game starts and immediately you are new man. Thoughts of work and trouble are ban ished. and you are for the time one of those splendid athletes, running, bat ting, striving ever to win. Your nerves are forgotten and tho flush of health mantles your cheek. %% : And this is only small portion of the eulogy pronounced by an editor, who probably never went to c baseball game in his life.

JUDGES BROTHER
LOSES His GRIP
Not the Kind That Brothers
Give to Each Other,
However.

Judge Virgil s. Reiter of the Lake
superior court in Hammond was very
much interested in an experience that
his brother, H. 4. Reiter of Rochester.
had as a result Of taking a valise that
was not his own.
H. A. Reiter Of Rochester. Ind. a
Lake Erie excursionist reported to
the police last evening the loss of a
grip containing valuable cornet. He
came UP on the Lake Erie as far as La
pore and from there came over on the
Northern Indiana. He picked up what
he supposed was his own grip, which
stood by the side of others, and when
he arrived in the city found that he
had picked up someone else's. The
grip that he carried over from Laporte
contained a pair of old shoes and a
sweater He notified the police here in
order that he might find the man who
had the grip containing the cornet
when the excursionists boarded the
train in the evening on the return
trip but no one with a grip was in
sight, says a Michigan City paper.

TILE COMPANY
SECURES A
NEW SITE

The Federal Cement Tile company,
which has secured a site fronting on
the river on the north side near the
state line, is having preliminary
sketches drawn of the buildings which
will be erected upon 1t.
The tile room will be 100 by 400 feet
In dimensions and there will be a mix
ing room, an engine room and office
buildings and several other structures
of the kind.
The work on the new buildings will
begin this fall as the Federal Cement
Tile company will be forced to move
from its present location. on the old
site of the G. H. Hammond company,
in the course of a few months.
The fact that President Freund of
this company picked out Hammond as
a permanent location for his plant and
paid $1,000 an acre for the new site
shows his abiding faith in the locality
The Federal Cement Tile company
employs 80 men and is one of the
small industries the diversified nature
of which makes Hammond an ideal
manufacturing community.

FIVE NEW
COTTAGES
GOING Up

One OF the evidences of increasing
activity on the North Side in Hammond
is the contract which was let by Sid
ney S Dake to Morris Brothers and
Koch for the construction of five $500
cottages on lots which Mr.. Dake awns
in this vicinity.
Work on these cottages will begin at
once and this will be quite an addi-
ton to the number of available houses
on the North Side. AS soon as the cot
tages are built they will be sold
through Gostlin. Meyn & Co. for ST.
500 each.
If Mr.. Dake has good success in this
venture he will have other cottages
built and in turn sell them and build
others. AS the splendid railway facil-
tiles of the North Side are beginning tc
be appreciated. and the accessabilitS
of this property to the factories in the
district is so apparent, the desirable
ity of this property is becoming NOR,
and more apparent.
