EAST SIDE
ENTITLED
To 4 PARK

That the east side is entitled to
park that the proposed price for the
acreage is not too much and that the
park would be properly located, IL the
site now under consideration were
bought. is the gist of a resolution
adopted by the East Side Improvement
association at a special meeting last
night.
The meeting was held in the Calumet
school building, and there vas a good
attendance. The. park question was
the only one up for consideration.
The petition that is being circulated
against the park after the city coun-
ell had already passed an appropria-
tion ordinance to its third reading
was the cause for the calling of the
special meeting. Members of the asso-
citation expressed themselves conf
dent last night that the object of the
petition would fail, because the basic
principle of the opposition was founded
in a private interest rather than in a
public spirited one.
The committee on resolutions prom
ised to have them ready for publica
tion tomorrow. In the meantime an
attempt viii be made to urge all the
east side people TO be at the next
regular council meeting. which will be
held on Tuesday, Sept. 6.

WATER CART DRIVER
IN BAD WITH POLICE
Floods Street Crossings
When He Replenishes
His Tank.
SEA OF MUD AT SOME PLACES
Relief May Be Had By Complaint
to Board Of Public
Works.


Residents on macadam streets and
the public in general which has occa-
sion to cross these streets, especially
near the water plugs, where the street
sprinklers take on their water, are
thoroughly disgusted with the manner
in which the street sprinkling con-
tractor permits his drivers to inundate
the streets near the water plugs. The
corner of Fayette street and Oakley av-
enue probably presents the worst con-
dition in the city. The mud there is
never less than three inches deep, as
the careless driver permits hundreds
of gallons Of water to overflow from
the tank before turning off the water.
Other crossings are nearly as bad. Were
his water supply he would probably not
be so reckless with its use. say the citi-
zens.
The only hope for relief that an out
ragged public has is in making its COM
plaint to the board of public works and
the street commissioner, John Kuhl-
man.
In Homewood the property owners
are loud in their complaints, and War
rem street property owners declare
that the street has been a mass of mud
ever since the street sprinkler started
operations.
The cutters are from two to four
inches deep in mud all the time, and
! complaints made do not a whit of good

Lathers Local No. LOT Of
Hammond Argues For It's
independence Before Pres
ident McSarley of the In
national Organization.

The question of the White City dis
trict councils right of jurisdiction over
the Lathers local No. 107 of Hammond
and Lake cbounty was argued pro and
con this afternoon in Hammond before
w. J. McSorley, general president of the
Lathers International union.
The White City district council of
Chicago comprises every lathers' local
in Chicago. and for time also claimed
jurisdiction over the Lake county or
ganization. Since then conditions have
grown up which made it imperative for
the Lake county fathers to conduct
their own affairs without being respon-
sible to the White City district council,
but the latter is fighting the release of
the Lake county organization Tt was
agreed among the Lake county lathers
that none of the union me n1bers should
work IN oruefss ttffar an nnffghf have a.
opportunity of attending the meeting.
The meeting was held in the Trades
and Labor Council headquarters.

EXTENT OF HURTS
NOT YET KNOWN
Now Looks as Though Miss
Pietsch Had Sustained
Internal Injuries.

The extent of injuries received yes
terday by Miss Lille Pietsch, who in
an effort to board a moving elevated
train in Chicago, grabbed the closed
platform gates and was thrown from
this position by girder, have not. as
yet, been determined.
The young lady was taken to 1915
Indiana avenue, where she was known,
Immediately after the accident, and is
still there. No bones were broken, nor
no serious sprains have developed. but
the patient complains of internal pains,
the cause of which the attending physi-
clan is unable to determine.
The miraculous escape from death is
a source of wonder and thankfulness
to relatives and friends, and is al
most unaccountable. The space between
the pillar and the car was very small
and had the girl become wedged there
in she would have been crushed and
killed
Mrs. Pietsch the mother, living at $40
Plummer avenue, said this morning
that she expected to bring her daughter
home today.

UNCLE SAM
HAS VERY
LONG REACH
United States Deputy Mar
shall Appears in Ham
mond Federal Court With
Valpo Mas Charged With
Tampering With mails.

Uncle Sam demonstrated yesterday
that he will reach to the end of the
world In seeking man whom he be-
lieves to have tampered with the Unit
ed States mails After a series of ca
Diagrams, John c. Webb, a Valparaiso
Ond.) man, was arrested at his home
yesterday on an indictment preferred
against him by the grand jury of the
Hawaiian islands, which was in session
at Honolulu
The arrest was made by Alonzo Boyd,
deputy United States marshal, who
came up from Indianapolis and brought
the prisoner before Charles Surprise.
United States commissioner at Ham
mond. The only process in the commits
sioner's court was the establishing of
the identity of Hebb, and this being
ted to the Marion county Jail to await
the arrival of the formal Indictment
from Honolulu.
Specifically, Webb. who was employed
as engineer for four minths at Homo
lulu, is charged with having sent an
improper communication to member
of the Bodine Show company at Homo
lulu while he himself was there The al
legged crime, while not perpetrated in
the United States proper, makes the
alleged offender amenable to the laws
of this country, because the Hawaiian
islands is United States territory.
After a four months stay in the ISL
ands Webb, who is a man 40 years OF
age, returned to his family at valpa-
raiso. When arrested yesterday he de-
MED any knowledge of having sent i'm
proper literature to a member of The
Bodine Show company.

Food for the Fat.

It Is possible that the actual pro
portion of overfat people in the gen.
eral population is no greater now
than 1t ever was, but to the observer
who has lived many years 1t seems as
II the number of persons one meets
who are noticeably overweight had In
creased greatly in recent years.
Some large folk are content with
their lot-nearly all are jolly, yet
there are many who would give much
for every pound they could throw on.
There are a number of dietary sys
TENS in vogue for reducing weight,
almost all eficacious, II strictly fol
lowed. but not all safe. The original
''banting system" for example, IN
which the person is restricted to little
more than a lean-meat diet, is not to
be recommended, and one who prac.
tices it, unless under constant medical
supervision, may do himself irrepara,
BILE harm. No one system, indeed, ID
applicable to all cases, for the cause
Is not always the same, and what may
be suitable for one fat person may
not be at all what another needs.
1t is popularity believed that all fat
persons are gross feeders, but this Is
not true; indeed, the reverse is often
the case. Obesity may be a disease,
or rather prominent symptom of one,
the trouble being with the internal
chemistry of nutrition-a disease OF
metabolism. as 1t is called. 1t Is com.
parable to diabetes-nearly related to
1t, in fact. In this disease sugar il
formed in excess in the sytem, even
when very little is taken with the
food; and so in obesity there is a ten.
dency to the formation of fat In the
body, even If little fat-forming food
is eaten. In most cases, however,
much can be done by a regulation OF
the diet
The amount OF meat should not be
increased. but the quantity Of sugar
and starchy foods should be reduced
their place being taken by non.
starchy vegetables, such as spinach
cauliflower and salads. The foods ia
be avoided. or taken in great modera.
ton. are those which contain much
starch, such as rice and potatoes, and
all sweets-pies. buildings and candy.
Tea and coffee should be taken with.
out sugar, If taken at all, and choco.
late should be omitted entirely.
Bread is fattening, but for most
persons 1t seems an indispensable ar.
ticle of diet. It's amount can, however,
be limited. and It should be toasted.
Fats are less harmful than sugar
and starch, and may be allowed in
moderation in the form Of butter and
salad OIL.
The belief that the drinking OF
water makes fat is erroneous. If one
eats Juicy vegetables, and especially the
less sweet fruits, such as apples and
grapefruit, and abandons the use OF
sugar, there will be a natural reduc-
ton In the amount Of water taken,
but one should drink all that is need
ed to quench thirst.
