HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY.
Avoid Needless Heart Strain.

Avoid Needless Heart Strain.
The heart is the handspring Of
life Bodily health and vigor
depend upon the integrity of this
organ. Let the heart muscle or
the delicate heart valves be i'm
paired or injured in the slightest
degree and life will become a
misery and a torture. 1t is i'm
portant therefore for every one.
especially for those who are past
middle age. to avoid all unneces-
sary strain upon the heart. in
order to maintain its health and
efficiency as long as possible.
Intense muscular work of any
kind if continued for many hours
each day will in time affect the
heart. Even mental work If it
is too prolonged and too intense
will result in weakening the
heart muscles.
The ordinary man cannot be-
lieve that excuses in eating may
result in injury TO the heart.
Such. however. Is the case.
Whenever the stomach is over
loaded with food the heart must
work harder to pump an extra
quantity of blood in order TO
aid the stomach in its added
work. Thus Il double injury re-
suits. The stomach is injured
and the muscle of the heart Is
overstrained.
Alcohol or excessive use of to-
bacco will also greatly impair
the strength of this vital organ.
Follow the rules Of moderation
in all things. In this way you
will conserve the vitality of all
the organs and enjoy perfect
health and long life

East Hammond Saloonkeep-
er Gives Whiskey to Lad,
Who Nearly Dies on Street
Car While Returning to
East Chicago From Work.

Pedestrians who happened to be on
State street near Holman about 9:15
o'clock this morning were shocked be-
yond measure TO see a 17-year-old boy
reclining against a post, helpless and
in an unconscious condition from the
effects of intoxicants which he had got
in an East Hammond saloon. He was
Stanley Florel 17-year-old son of
Mike Florek 1924 Hamerlin avenue,
East Chicago.
In one hand he carried a dinner pail
and on his way home from the
Standard Steel Car works where he is
employed as rivet heater. After
finishing his work this morning he
was given a large quantity of intox-
icants in an East Hammond saloon,
leaving the place almost helpless.
When he boarded an East Chicago
car at East Hammond, Motorman Nc
Clure suspected that the lad was drunk
and before the car reached State and
Holman streets the boy became dead
ly sick. Helpless. young Florek had
to be carried of the car by officer

the hospital DR.. b. w. Chidlaw gave
artificial respiration. the boys breath
ing and heart action having almost
stopped.
At the hospital he was given med
ical aid and this noon the boy was
able to leave for his home. Young
Florek was given a thorough ques-
tioning at the Central station and al
though she did not know the So oon-
keepers name, he was able TO give the
police valuable information where the
drinks were served him.
A large number of business men and
leitizens were indignant swhea they
learned that the boy was intoxicateed.
and action will be brought at once
against the East Hammond saloon
keeper. Roscoe E. Woods of the Hast
ings s. Woods Realty Company, said
he would present the case before the
grand jury.

THE FARMER NOW
KNOWS WINTERS HERE
Especial to THE TIMES }

Dyer, Ind, Dec. 9.-When the farm
ers of Lake county got up this morn
ing to shut off their Big Ben alarm
clocks and felt the goose pimples form
beneath the slit shirt sides of their
night clothes they knew that winter
was on fer good.
Seagulls and geese screaming south
ward to milder climates gave added
evidence Thereupon the farmers shiv-
cred into their clothes, pulled down the
eariaps of their caps and went forth
into the exhilarating cold. After put
ting an extra bundle of corn stalks
against the barn door to keep it Sc
cureIy shut and protect the horses each
farmer threw a few shovelfuls of sand
against the basement windows to keep
the. potatoes downstairs out of the
draft Then they bedded the mother
of a family of pigs in straw and started
in on the chores, glad that winter had
at last descended
Aside from feeding and watering ten
steers, six teams, half dozen pigs and
a couple hundred chickens. a farmer
hasn't much to do on winter mornings
except to milk the cows and take the
milk to the station. After that he
whiles away the short winter day with
a cross-cut saw and an axe. Aside
from that the farmer has nothing to
do till spring.

MAYOR IN
DEFENSE. OF
RAILROADS

In reply to Manager Harry c. Green
of the Green line who desires the CO.
operation of the city in alleviating
the grade crossing biockades that con-
stantly occur in Hammond. Mayor John
D. Smalley this morning expressed
himself as confident that the depart
ment of police is. doing all in its power
to keep traffic uninterrupted. 1T is a
condition that we are not able to over
come" said he.
Under the law railroads are we'll
within their rights when freights
travel between the speeds of one and
eight miles an hour. A long freight
is bound TO blocade crossings as lorSg
as grade crossings exist
breakdown Causes Hours Delay.
The hours delay which occurred in
Hammond Saturday morning Son the
Michigan Central was explained by
the mayor as due to two accidents.
Erie and c. & o. passengers were held
UP by broken freight and although
the police were able to open Holman
street for pedestrians Green Line serv-
ice was delayed for an hour and cars
piled up while passengers fumed-
According to the report of the chief
of police broken draw bar caused the
first delay. When an effort was made
to open Calumet avenue another draw
bar broke leaving the freight a help
less cripple. Mayor SmalIey received
a call at his home from the Erie in
Chicago complaining of the blockade.
The C. & o. passenger was held from
1885 to $40.
This delay of an hour was cited by
Manager Green as just an example.
That 1t was unavoidable seems appar-
ent But there is no explanation forth :
coming for the forty five minute block
ade on the Erie at Conkey avenue If
the crossing nuisances were only oc-
casional no doubt the public would be
satisfied.
From the mayors side of the field
the opinion seems to be that only ele-
walton or depression would ever solve
the problem. He does not favor ag-
gravating the roads, in fact he hasn't
announced just what he is going to do.
THE street car company" says he,
would like to have the trains go forty
miles an hour so that they could keep
on schedule. but that is just what the
city doesn't want. Delay is better than
endangering life. l believe that the
railroads are conducting their bust
ness as best they can with possible ex-
ceptions. The police department is
keeping a constant surveillance. When
"a blockade occurs 1t takes sometime Il
find what the trouble is. The force
is limited
