The family with young children that is
without sickness in the house now and
then is rare, and so it is important that
the head of the house should know what
to do in the little emergencies that arise.
A child with a serious ailment needs a
doctor, it is true, but in the majority of
instances, as any doctor knows. the child
suffers from some Intestinal trouble,
usually constipation.
There is no sense in giving it a pill or
a remedy containing an opiate, nor is
flushing of the bowels to be always rec
commended. Rather give it a small dose
of a mild, gentle laxative tonic like DR..

ty Club.

The members of the University club,
their wives. sisters and lady friends are
planning to have a fish dinner at Harry
Nelson's Thursday evening, Aug. "a.
The entire dining room at Nelson's

will be ready at $50.
After the dinner the members of the
club will spend the evening at the lake
front, where a big bonfire will be built
and where a marshmallow roast will
be a feature.
For some time there has been a de-
mand among the membership that an
affair be promoted to which the ladies
could be invited. 1t was impossible tic

trip for the reason that cars enough
could not be secured

SISTERS OF S. FRANCIS
GO INTO RETREAT
Rev. Father Henry of st.
Peters Church, Chicago,
Director.

The Sisters of st. Francis at st. Mar
garet's hosital closed a weeks retreat
today under the direction of the Rev.
Father Henry, o. r. NJ. of st. Peters
church, Chicago.
For a week the twenty-one sisters of
the institution devoted as much of
their time to prayer meditation and TO
lectures by Father Henry as possible.
The strictest silence was observed
throughout the week and no allowance
was made for relaxation. Sister Fuse
bia, the superior of the institution,
could not participate in the retreat ow-
ing to the fact that the management of
the business affairs rests with her. She
will go into retreat at Lafayette next
week with the sisters at the mother
house.
Father Henry directed the retreat
last year, and the sisters feel them
selves greatly indebted to him for his
work. in their behalf.

MISS BROOKS WANTS

Enterprising Young Woman
Believes Chances Are

Though the efforts Of Miss Virginia
Brooks, application is now ending in
the office of the postmaster general at
Washington for a postoffce for West
Hammond. Miss Brooks is confident
that favorable action will be taken by
the postoffce department and expects
a reply daily. It is ever possible that
Miss Brooks may become West Ham
mond's first postmistress. She feels
that an Independent postoffce for West
Hammond would stimulate civic pride
and to some extent relieve West Ham
mond OF the sense of dependency which
it now feels toward Hammond.
At the same time the hun for a new
name for West Hammo continues.
1t has been suggested that the city
be named in honor of the first manu-
featuring concern that located in West
Hammond and gives it's people employ
ment. The suggestion is considered a
good one. and is thought to be an in
ducement to a concern which is looking

WITNESS REFUSES
TO TESTIFY

Canton Pope. who was arrested late
Thursday night by officer Borchert for
assaulting Louisa Matthews. a colored
woman. at Gibson, was tried before
Judge Barnett in the city court this
morning.
Because the complaining witness did
not appear for trial to prosecute and
that nc evidence was found to convict
the defendant. the case was dismis sed
by Judge Barnett. The coIored woman
promised to appear at the trial this
morning. but a number of witnesses
said that she had left Gibson this
morning at 8 o'clock ard would not be
at the trial.
The woman told the story Friday
morning that she went over to visit a
sister who lives at Gibson. When she
arrived at her sisters home she met
Pope. who made advances to her and
threatened her. To protect herself she
picked up a pepper shaker and threw
it at him. and he in turn grabbed a plate
and smashed it over her head. causing
a nasty wound.
| DR.. A. Young was called and it was
' found necessary to sew up the wound.
