FIRE DAMAGES BLDG.
ON FAYETTE STREET
Early Morning Blaze Cuts
Henry Soltwedel
Building.

Shortly after O'Clock this morning
fire broke out on the roof of the Henry
Soltwedel building, standing at the in
tersection of the Monon tracks and the
first alley south of Fayette street. For
a few minutes the blaze in the old
frame shack, which adjoins a barn and
is within fifty feet of the Hammond
Pure Ice Co plant, was spectacular. but
pouring much water into the building
checked the flames before they could
spread The building was practically
unroofed by the fire. 1t was occupied
by two foreigners who are employed
at the Hammond Pure Ice company.
They were out of the building at the
time the fire broke out. The origin OF
the fire is unknown, but it is thought
that spark from a passing train set
ii on fire. The alarm turned in
by Fred Lukman, the engineer at the
ice plant Departments No. l and No. 8
responded.

To Have Commercial Club.

Before many weeks are passed West
Hammond is TO have an active working
commercial club, composed of the pro-
gressive business men and citizens who
have the welfare of the community at
heart.
The organization is now information
and the idea is being we'll received
where it has been mentioned. The need
of a commercial club appears obvious
when it is remembered what results
could have been obtained by concert
ed effort, instead of leaving one per-
son. a woman, to carry on the battle
against vice, graft and high ass ess-
ments single handed. The victory over
the extortionate special assessments
yesterday is only another stimulus to
band closer together, and the predic-
tion was made today that in the near
future an active commercial club would

SENTIMENT HEARTILY
INDORSED BY PEOPLE
Many People Would Be
Willing to Pay Small Fee
For Bathing Purposes.

The public sentiment voice in THE
TIMES yesterday relative to conditions
at the Hammond lake front park bath
house was heartily indorsed last night
by scores of persons, especially those
who have had to wait for hours before
they could be accommodated at the
bathhouse.
The sentiment seems to go even far
ther There is well defined express
sion that the public would not be ad
verse to paying small admission fee
of 10 cents to get accommodations
which are now lacking because of suf-
fio;ient facilities. In one sense IT. seems
contrary TO public policy to levxA df-
rect -taxsafor<sra priszileGes for which an
indirect tax has already been collect
ed. but the Willingness to put up with
this is only evidence how insistent the
public is on having the privilege at any
cost. A direct tax. even of 10 cents,
would be prohibitive to many young
ster who has all he can do to scra pc
car fare together to get to the lake
the city free bathing beach and free
accommodations. and for the sake of
these some way would have to be found
to still maintain a place where accom-
modations can be had free of charge.
But there must be moro and better ac-
commodations even If part of the public
will be compelled TO pay for its share.

HORSES SUFFER
FROM HEAT

Horses all over the country are
suffering from the intense heat. 1t
is estimated that at least 200 horses
have been prostrated by the heat
since the torrid spell began. Many
have dropped dead in the fields
Hard driving and a lack of water
are given as the principal causes of
heat prostrations. veterinaries also
recommend that horses heads
should be covered with hats.
Most of the prostrations have af-
fected poorly fed and misused
horses, but In some cases we'll
cared horses have been incapaci-
tated for work by the heat.
Owners of valuable horses should
be very careful of them during .he
hot spell and there are a number
of cases where horse owners should
be prosecuted for mistreating their
animals.

seen that a further attempt to save its
life would be useless 1t was killed by

THEATER PRAISED,
PLAY CRITICISED
Chicago Opens New House
With Crane in AIDE
i, Comedy.

CHICAGO, Jan. 1-While throngs
tried to gain entrance to the crowded
cafes and hotels last night, and thous-
ands of people paraded the downtown
streets, shouting and generally celebrat-
ing the advent of the infant year, a
mob nearly stormed the entrance to the
new Blackstone Theater, thrown open
to the public for the first time, where
George .Ade's new comedy, IT. S. Min
lister Bedloe," with William II. Crane
in the title role, was produced.
Crane is a favorite here. and the
theater going portion of ;Chicago's pop
ulation is fond of Ade's work-so the
combination ought to be a happy one,
in this city at any rate.
But the new theater attracted as much
attention as did the play and the actor
Built by Chicago capitalists at a cost
of nearly half a million dollars, the
modern theater building. There is not
a post in the auditorium, and the seats
have been made particularly wide and
roOmy. The seating capacity is little
more than 1900. The chief decorative
feature of the theater Is the imported
tapestry drop curtain, which is said 10
have cost $4,000. The theater itself is
decorated in ivory and old gold, and
the boxes and seats are upholstered in
deep. rich green.
While the consensus of opinion seemed
TO be that the theater was the hand

Reducing the Waist
Line in Both Sexes

Men and women with heavy, pendu-
lous abdomens who wish to reGfce them
quickly and safely are usually advised
to go in for certain tiresome twisting
and bending exercises that, as a matter
of fact, they should carefully avoid as
being dangerous, rather than beneficial.
A far better plan is to use the fol-
lowing three simple household remedies
which can be obtained of any druggist
at small cost, viz: Y OF. Marmola, y OF.
Fluid Extract Cascara Aromatic, and
3Ik ozs. Peppermint Water. These are
mixed together at home and taken a
teaspoonful after meals and at bedtime
These three make mixture that is
not only perfectly harmless. but actual
ly quite beneficial to the system, regu-
lating the digestion, purifying the blood,
and clearing the complexion of pimples
and blotches. Its chief and surprising
benefit is in the rapid, natural manner
in which 1t reduces the fat person to
the normal, beautiful lines of a fine
physique, it having been known to
cause the reabsorption of as much as
pound of fat a day. Moreover, 1t does
it symmetrically, so that no wrinkles or
flabby skin are left behind. Strange to
say, neither dieting nor exercise are ad-
vised when this simple home recipe is
being used. for it will produce results
independently of either. and so the pa
tient is instructed to eat whatever he or
she fancies. and is also permitted to
take things easy.
