DOCTORS ADVICE
Was SCORNED
Now East Chicago Man Had
to Go Under Knife at
Hospital.

Jake Schmuesser, now a resident of
East Chicago, but until recently a res
fdent of Chicago Heights. underwent
an operation for appendicitis at ST.
Margaret's hospital last Tuesday The
operation was performed by Dr. w. F.
Howat.
All of this might have been saved
If he had taken the advice of his Chi
cago Heights doctor. About a year ago
Jake Schmuesser was operated on for
rupture.
At that time the doctor got hold of
his appendix and asked Bill Schmues-
ser of Hammond If he did not think
1T wise to have it removed while they
had the opportunity.
Bill did not care to take the re-
sponsibility, so the appendix was left
intact. If it had been removed then
the operation Tuesday would have
been unnecessary.
Clara Schmuesser, the daughter of
Bill Schmuesser, was operated on for
adenoids and had her tonsiis removed
/ by Drs. Howat and Shanlxlin Tuesday.

RUNS AUTO
THROUGH HIS
NEW GARAGE

Attorney Henry MacCracken. sO4
Van Buren street, Gary, had some
"sweIl garage" until yesterday
evening and his nefghbors had a
hard time bearing his boasts about
IT.
Last night Mr.. MacCracken came
home intending to store his NM
chine In the garage I'm the rear of
his home for the night. As the car
started into the garage he let the
clutch out at full speed without
knowing about IT.
With wild whoop the car made
n bee line for the back wall and
when the smoke blew AWAY the car
was mp at Mr.. MacCracken's back
porch and he was flying through
space looking for safe landing.
Neighbors ran out, thinking that
an explosion had occurred or may
he that mule had followed the
auto and kicked the sides out of
the garage.
Mr.. MacCrncken was badly shax-
en- mp as a result, but he is able to
be up and around his home. He
now thinks more than ever of his
bucking machine.

WORK ON ROAD
is BEING RUSHED
Contractor Ahlborn Starts
on New Job on South
Holman Street.

One of the splendid improvements
which mean much to Hammond is the
paving -sof the extension of Holman
street. This work is now being prose-
cuted with great energy by William
Ahlborn, the contractor.
The first work is being done south
of the Little Calumet river and the
grade of the road is about established.
A great deal of preliminary work was
done by the town of Munster and the
rest is being done by the county.
AS soon as the south half of the road
is completed Ahlborn will commence on
that part north of the river. 1t is ex-
pected that in the next four months the
entire Improvement will be completed.
In the meantime a great deal of pres
sure Is being brought to bear to Sc
cure an appropriation for the building
OF the Holman street bridge across the
river. The idea is that If the approaches
and abutments of the bridge are not
constructed this year the work of build
ing 1t will be delayed until late next
summer.
