WILL GET HIS
COMMISSION
James Nedjl Of Whiting Gets
Notice That His Commits
sion as Postmaster Is on
It's Way to the Oil City
Now.

James Nedjl 81 Sheridan avenue,
Whiting, has received notice that his
commission as postmaster of Whiting
has been approved and that he viii re-
ceive it in day or two
After a long wait the wen-known
Whiting office and Postmaster David

known for some time, but there were
unavoidable delays and Nedjl will not
become postmaster until about the 1st
of July.
James Nedjl is a union man, and the
union men all over the region appre-
ciate the consideration Congressman
Crumpacker has shown them by the
appointment of Nedjl as postmaster.
First Time for UniOnist.
1t is the first time in the history
of the county that a union man has
been SO signally honored. Nedjl is a
bricklayer by trade. and is one of the
most influential men in Whiting in the
republican party.
During the recent national campaign
Nedjl was partly responsible for the
large republican majority that Whit
ing gave to the ticket. 1t is likely
that the postoffce will be moved from
its present location to one more cen
trally located.
Postmaster Davidson has been an ef.
| fcient public servant and leaves the Of
/ fee with the we'll wishes of a large
number of the people of Whiting.

FOR
SCHAAF FROM
WASHINGTON
CBy indianapolis Correspondent

(By indianapolis Correspondent.
Washington d. c., June 25-Infor-
nation that crops out through the IN
diana congressional delegation points
to the probability that "Dick" Schaaf
the good natured, popular German, who
had so much to do with turning Lake
county into the republican column with
an overwhelming majority last fall, is
a Conner" in Indiana politics. He
probably is being mentioned for more
positions. elective and appointive. than
any other man in Indiana.
Among the offices with which his
name is connected are the postmaster
ship of Hammond, the United States
marshal ship the collectorship of rev
enue for one of the Indiana revenue
districts, and next years nomination
for secretary Of state. Just now there
is loud call for him to make the race
for mayor of Hammond, and. at the
same time some of his friends in state
politics are insisting that he should
hold aloof and run for the nomination
for secretary of state next year. II
Mr.. Schaaf were not of a solid, prac-
tical temperament and never unduly
| impressed by praise, his head certainly
would be turned by the attentions he
/ has received since Lake county made
such a fine showing last fall.

The deed to the new site Of the
Federal Cement Tile company's plant
was signed today and this company
acquires seventeen acres of land front

the Indiana-Illinois state line
1t was originally intended that the
Federal Cement Tile company would
take only seven acres of this land. but
the officials Of this company said they
believed they could locate another in
dustry on the rest Of the strip and so
they bought the whole piece
The land was the property of F. S.

successful real estate deals that have
been made by this man through Cost
lin, Meyn & Co. Betz is believed to

Gated on the Indiana Harbor Belt rail-

the price paid for the land is very rea-
sonable.

Dor Belt railroad played an important
part in keeping this important indus

friendliness for Hammond
The new factory buildings Of this
company will be built at once and will
be completed by fall. The company

G. H. Hammond Co.'S plant, but was
compelled to move when the National
Packing company began tearing down
the buildings
Blue Island and several of the other
cities in the region made an effort to
secure this plant when they heard it
was seeking new location. and it was
only because of the excellent railway
facilities that are provided in Ham
mond that the company decided to re-
main here.

DRESS SUIT IS
STILL MINUS QUANTITY
E. F. Johnston Goes to West
Hammond After It, But
Nay, Nay.

Hereafter, if the Elks or some other
organization want to give a minstrel
show they must count themselves short
one dress suit. for E. F. Johnston has
up to the hour of going to press failed
10 retrieve the stolen evening armor.
Mr.. Johnston, being a prosperous
business man. has outgrown the suit.
and fortunately he still has one, which
is as good as new. but that fact and
the other fact that a rag peddler stole
it from the woodshed. where it hung
waiting to be pressed into service, did
not induce him to desist from any eff
fort to bring the thief to justice. On
the contrary, he went to West Ham
mond, accompanied by a police officer
where they thought they could find the
peddler and arrest him on general prin-
ciples. but thus far their efforts have
been in vain.

WHERE COOKING INJURIES.

Food is in It's natural state
uncooked. AIbumen, the funda-
mental element of food nutrl-
tlon, coaguIates at a tempera-
ture of 100 and becomes largely
unasslmiIabIe, an irritating, uric
acid producing, kidney-taxing,
s!eep-destroying waste. Heat
bursts the starch granuies of
cereals and allows the digestive
juices to penetrate, but it CO.
agulates the aIbumen, precipi-
tates the mineral elements
(when excessively and produces
in many cases, chemical changes
that cause serious disturbances
in the cell economy. Cooked
food of any kind quickly spoiIs
and supports germ growth much
more readily than uncooked.
Spoiled fruit may contain dis
ease-producing germs which heat
will destroy-while destroying
largely its nutrItiVe value.
Wash lettuce, prunes, cabbage,
strawberries and other fruits
thoroughly, but endeavor to Sc
cure them SO fresh that they
will need little or no coz ding.
Especially is this necessary in
spring and summer.
The peanut Is rich in the min
eraI elements, assimIable albu-
