Knotts realizes that the only way he

NOW GET
REAL FOOD
IN HAMMOND
Adulterated Products Are
Being Banished From Lo-
cal Grocers' Shelves-Due
to Recent Crusade-Will
Keep Up Good Work.

City Sealer Jacob Friedman, in re-
viewing the situation in Hammond rel
ative to the enforcement of the pure
food law. this morning. found himself
at peace with the world at large and
the merchants and business men OF
Hammond in general.
The satisfactory condition which he
finds is due to the active campaign that
has been waged for the enforcement of
the pure food laws and the resultant
purer food on the market.
The merchants have practically
eliminated the goods containing ben
zoate of soda and alum from their
shelves. They are giving full measure
as far as I know. but we are continu-
ing to test their scales.
The recent ice cream tests from this
city, which were made at Indinanapo-
lis. In the state chemists office, show
that the consumers are getting the pure
article. One of these tests showed the
quality of one dealer to be a trifie be-
low the standard. not necessarily
through any fault OF his. but since then
he has improved his product also.
While everything is going along in
fine shape we realize that we cannot be
less vigilant than we were in the begin
ming. We have things going fairly
right now and we will have kept them

You have to hand It to T. e.


Again Mayor Tom Knots of Gary,
has scored and has proven himself to
be one of the most clever politicians in
Lake county. This time he put one
over on the whole democratic organf-
in Lake county in the interests
of his own political ambitions.
The democrats have just awakened
to a realization of the fact that prac-
tically all of the best places the dem
ocratic county and legislative tickets
have gone to Gary and the rest of the
county has been slighted.
In fact, the more the matter is looked
into, the more apparent 1t becomes that
Tom Knots blindfolded the democratic
party and after taking what he want
ed in the way of places on the ticket.
turned the dregs over to the party in
the rest of the county. The Lake county
democrats are just beginning to appre-
ciate his audacity.
He Has Ambitions.
Knots is ambitious. there is ques-
tion about that. = He succeeded in de-
feating the republican candidate for
nIayir at the last election in a city
which was overwhelmingly republican
That opened up a whole vista of po-
litical ambitions to him. At the pres

GRIFFITH AFTER
PHONE. CONNECTIONS
Especial to THE TINES

Griffith. Ind, Sept. 14.-There is a
probable chance now for the people
here to get telephone connections with
Hammond and the county to the north
of us. This afternoon officials of the
Chicago Telephone Co. will be here to
hold a special interview with the town
board in regard to telephone service.
At present the towns telephone facili-
ties consists of but one or two phones
of the Crown Point line which in the
past have rendered rather poor serv-
ice. This together the fact that most
of the business here is done in the
Calumet region and Chicago causes a
number of the citizens to petition the
Chicago Telephone Co. to make ar
rangements to enter the town and the
meeting tomorrow is the result of that
petition.

Joseph Smith and Peter Cullen. who
said they hailed from New York. fell
into the strong arms of Jesse Pannen-
borg. special Erie officer in Hammond,
and the latter appeared against them
on the charge OF stealing a ride on q

That they were from New York could
not be doubted after hearing the pro-
vincial accent of Cullen, who testified
in behalf of his pal and himself.

HAMMOND PEOPLE
Flea Bitten Bears and Mon

by Wholesale.

Hammond was more or less edited
today by the invasion of a squad of
filthy gypsy nomads who, accompanied
by a troupe of travelling bruins and
pockos, paraded up and down the
streets annoying pedestrians with their
walls for gratuities.
The city has been overrun more
than ever this year by gypsies, but the
gang who appeared today were more
ragged and more pestiferous than us
ual.
The Hammond police would do a
mighty good thing for the population If
they ordered these vagabends to give
the city wide berth, for they have no
long any place in civilization.

In an adjourned meeting last night

In an adjourned meeting last night
the Gary common council let the ses-

not a laughable one, but one that will
