HAMMOND MEN
GET PATENT

patent one a cast metal brake
beam was granted to Carl E. Bauer
and William Edward Fowler of Ham
mond. Mr.. Fowler said that the new
patent is not of much value and that
only because there were certain feat
ures that it was thought advisable to
protect was the patent taken out.
There are eight claims which are
protected. The patents are assigned
to the Simplex Railway Appliance Co.
The principal differences in the new
brake beam is the fact that part of it
is made of cast metal. When the
methods of casting metal are perfected
it is possible that the patent will be
valuable.

STORY NOT
FOUNDED ON FACT

The report that the Lake County
Bar association has appointed COM
mittee to take up the matter of ap-
pointing certain court officials which
will have to be employed result of
the creation of two extra courts in
Lake county is not founded in fact
Judge Johannes Kopelke did sug-
gest to Democratic County Chairman
John Gavit that he would like to have
him confer with John M. Stinson and
L<eGrand It Meyer before appointing
a bailif and court reporter, but that
is as far as the committee proposition
went and the Lake County Bar asso-
citation has had nothing to do with the
appointment of court officials

say to every suffering woman If that
medicine does not help her, there is
nothing that will."-Mrs. JANETzKI,
1908 Arch ST., Chicago, Ill.,
This Is the age Of substitution, and
women who want a cure should insist
upon Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound just as this woman did, and
not accept something else on which the
druggist can make a little more profit.
Women who are passing through this
critical period or who are suffering
from any of those distressing ills pc
culiar to their sex should not lose sight
Of the fact that for thirty years Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
which Is made from roots and herbs,
has been the standard remedy for fe-
male ills. In almost every continuity
you will find women who have been
restored to health by Lydia E. Pink
