CLEAN HEAL TIL BILL
Not a Single Case of Con
tagious Disease in City's
Limits.

Hammond today is without sinr,e
quarantined home. there being no sign
of any contagious disease This con-
dition has existed since last Saturday.
when the last quarantine placard was
removed. and is a matter of congratu-
lation for DR.. w ID. Weis. secretary of
the board of health, who has watched
the quarantines with an eagle eye.
About eight months ago the city was
rid of all contagious disease. but at
that time the happy condition lasted
only day, and the board of health
now hopes that the present condition
viii continue indefinitely.
Speaking of Hammonds drinking
water supply. DIR. Weis today said that
it was not good as 1t should be and
that therefor the safer course for the
/ consumer would be to boil the water
before using it for domestic purposes
Asked about whether complaint had
been made TO his office recently about
the waste that the American Maize
/ Products company is sewering into
Lake Michigan near the shore, DR.. Wei:
| said that no complaint of this nature
| had reached him for a long time He
said that an official speaking for the
| Chicago sanitary district had recent,
| waste would be the subject of particu-
| lar attention and study on the part Of
! the commissions experts.

he decided to go home. He was warn :
ed by a citizen on the street that If he
did not return he was liable to be ar
rested, but he was determined to take
d chance. anyhow While the matter
was being argued officer Ed Shields
arrived and taking Ketcik by the arm
told him he was wanted at the council
chamber. Ketcik, at f1rst considering
the matter a joke, refused to go with
the officer. but the latter assured him
he was in earnest and had been detail

PEOPLE IGNORE LAW
OTHERS ARE BITTEN
Hundreds of Dogs Roaming
the Streets Without
Licenses.

A vicious dog. owned by George New
lin, S11 Claude street, claimed another
victim yesterday afternoon when
Morris Fleming, son of Mr.. and Mrs
William G. Fleming, STA Calumet ave-
nue., was severely bitten in the leg
1t was at first thought advisable to
Kill the animal at once, but now it will
be kept securely tied to see il it de-
velops any symptoms of rabbies.
The dog first jumped at the boys
throat and this knocking him over the
animal dug it's teeth into the boys leg.
This morning the boy was taken into
Chicago. where he will have the wound
cauterized.
A warning was issued at the police
station by Chief Austgen this morn
ing to the effect that every owner is
requested to, take out their dog IL
censes and also not to let the animal Is
run at large. Numerous calls have beer
received al the station during the past
two weeks regarding the people let
ting their dogs run at large and endan-
gering the lives of residents.
