Co. This concern will begin building
a plant at once and expects to occupy
it by the 1st of November
1t is expected to become one of the
many and varied industries of the
city. The plans for the buildings have
been prepared and are on the way so
that the work of construction can be-
gin a once.
The big event of the week was the
purchase by outside capitalists of 1.40o
acres of land in the vicinity Of High
lands. This deal was negotiated by
the ]. S. Blackburn Co. and has caused
great deal of speculation in real es-
tate circles, especially among those who
deal in outlaying acres
j. 8. Blackburn stated today that he
had not yet received word from the
lawyers In the deal as to whether or
not the money had passed and the deed
had been given. He said, however, that
there had been no hitch in the pro-
ceedings.

mun:cation with Coroner Smith of LaKe
county and order the body Of Esther
Harrison exhumed. What was the re-
suit Of their investigation Is unknown.
An effort to reach Coroner Smith has
been unavailing. Half a dozen report
ers from the Chicago and Hammond
papers have tried to get hold of him
without avail.
1t has been learned that Fred Burn
ham. one of the best criminal lawyers
in Chicago, has been retained by May
or K. NJ Wosczynski to look after his
interests in the bribery cases that were
filed some time ago.
1t is understood that Burnham has
been instructed to plan, not only defen-
sfve, but also offensive campaigns
against the evil forces in the city Of
West Hammond. The arrest of some of
the people who have been back of the
divekeepers is momentarily expected.
Burnham will be associated with Perry
S. Patterson in representing the mayor.
The dives are all closed up, accord
ing to the latest reports. And 1t was
reported that Edward Donnnely was
actually leaving the city with his fur
niture and equipment The revoking of
the licenses is the worst blow that the
West Hammond dives have received.

A Ne FNEa Teeth Now Are Made to Suit
the Wearer in Color and
Shape. 81

! i s d .
We do not see as many sets Of a..
s 8 t1f1c1al teeth today as we did twenty
Years ago, since 1t has been learned
that there is no. substitute that will
equal the natural organs In the time
zof our grandfathers, if a tooth ached
az: was was; INN diately extracted, and ii
was q common sight to see many peo.
Il PIE going about with a large number
of teeth out. So much was this the
case that 1t became a matter of alarm
among some of the scientists lest the
human race was to become toothless.
I Nowadays, with improved methods.
there is little excuse for anyone to
lose a single tooth.
IN those mouths where only a few
teeth are lost, and bridgework can.
not be used, lit is desirable to use the
partial plate. This can be used with
out the extraction of any more teeth.
It simply fills in the gaps caused BY.
the loss Of the teeth which have al
ready been removed. If these plates
are carefully fitted and the adjoining
teeth well matched, they will do very
well in the matter Of appearance.
I When there are very few natural
teeth in the mouth, and these in bad
condition, it is often better to remove
all the remaining teeth and have full
plates inserted. Especially is this
true where the gums are badly dis.
#eased, and the teeth are loosened by
Fpyorrhea. On the extraction of the
teeth this disease usually disappears.
Within the last few years there
have been many improvements in the
process of making plates, especially In
the method of taking the impression
3of the mouth, and of arranging the
teeth. The scientific principles under
lying the movement of the jaw have
been worked out, with the result that
new apparatus and new lnoulds of
teeth were required. This anatomical
articulation, as it is called, produces
far better results than the old process.
There is greater ability to thoroughly
chew the food, the teeth fit better and
are much better in appearance.
In the making Of artificial teeth,
care should be observed in selecting
the proper form and color of the teeth
to be used. Patients often demand
small white, even teeth, hoping thus
to improve their appearance. The re.
suit Is likely to happen in such cases
that the teeth present CHASTITY ap-
pearance. Tie color Of the teeth and
the form depend largely upon the col
or OF the hair and eyes, and other
characteristics. The size should COR
respond to the size Of the jaw. Many
people initiate quite successfully their
natural teeth by having the artificial
Teeth slightly irregular, as were their
own teeth before they were lost.
