Cured of Drug Habit

II am truly glad to say TO all morphine
users that the James Treatment will cure
you of your habits. as it has done me,
II you will do your part.
II had tried hard to quit the habit by
filling bottle full of water and morphine,
take dose and add more water, but the
mixture would get too weak, and l would
give it up and drink about half the bottle.
You may use this as a true testimonial
for the benefit of other unfortunates and

Kaffir Corn


1t would seem. from present indicat-
ions, that the farmers of the southwest
who have raised too much kaffir corn
for domestic consumption need not worry
about surplus, which is likely to come
to Europe as the result Of the efficient
selesmanshp Of Uncle Sans business
agents. the members Of the consular SER
vice.
The service has shown its efficiency by
its response to an inquiry made by an
American railroad as to the possibility
of dIsposirs of the surplus of the cnor-
nous kaffir corn crop expected in the south
west this season. From Its European
headquarters In London the railroad
which taps the kaffir corn belt In the
southwestern states, sent inquiries to the
various American consulates in Europe
asking them II it would be possible to
interest the various grain merchants in
their jurisdictions In kafir corn.
Even in the United States kaffir corn
is new commodity. and in Europe it
is only a name. but in spite of their
hazy ideas as to what they were ex-
pected to interest the grain dealers in.
the consuls almost overwhelmed the rail-
road bureau with the addreAses Of deal
ers and requests for further Information

followed.
Block after block the chase
went on until finally Webb dodg-
cd into Calumet avenue.
There O'Connor climbed into
cement wagon, and told the
driver to whip up his horses and
get alongside Webb.
The cement wagon rocked with
the speed of the 1ashed horses.
O'Connor hid in the bottom of
the wagon. Webb, his tongue
hanging out, his eyes Protruding,
ran on.
At Forty-sixth street, Webb
stopped and looked back. He
could see no sign of O'Connor.
Then the cement wagon drove up.
O'Connor got to his feet with
levclled revolver.
Throw up your hands, Bob
by" he said.
Hello, Mr.. Copper" said
Webb, and put up his hands.
O'Connor realized the difficulty
he was going to have in climbing
from the wagon and keeping
Webb covered at the same time.
Webb realized it too and grinned.

Webb turned West in Forty
sixth, north again in the alley un-
der the elevated, and from there
into the dark basement passage
way under 4547 Calumet avenue.
O'Connor's partner, Egan, was
far behind. Patrolman Courtney,
who had heard the firing, was too
far distant to help. But O'Connor
did not hesitate. He plunged in
to the dark passageway after the
bandit.
Webb had stumbled and fallen.
His gun had dropped to the
ground. He was reaching for it
when O'Connor pounced on him.
In his hand were six cartridges.
He had intended to reload and
die fighting in the basement.
O'Connor grabbed the ex-
hausted boy bandit by the throat.
Webb tried to wrestle with him.

GARY'S POPULATION
GREATLY INCREASED

When republicans and bull moosers
woke up this morning they appreciated
that Gary's population must have in
creased visib1y, judging from the fact
that at the democratic primaries" yes
terday there were five times as many
votes cast as there were democratic
votes in the November presidential
election, when the democratic party
made a better showing than ever be-
fore because of the split in the repub-
lican party.
For instance, down in the fourth
precinct of the third ward 745 men
voted yesterday. And in the third
ward, the smallest in the city, 2,22s
men voted yesterday, nearly twice as
many as all of the Gary democratic
votes in the recent presidential cleo
ton.
"Gary's growth is wonderful" said
one real estate man. "and t-of- town
people can hardly believe IT. If the
democratic voters number 2.22S in the
third ward there must be at least 1000
bull moosers and republican voters
there, total of something like g.
600 votes In that ward. The Ridge road
district seems to have tripled in its
voting population during the past few
months"
