THIS ELECTION WAS A RIOT
The election at Gary, Ind, which
resulted in the overthrow of Mayor
Tam Knots, is of peculiar interest to
Chicago owing to the important part
played in it by tactics formerly pre-
valent in the Eighteenth Ward.
Several Chicago characters were
brought down to the place 1t is said
mike de Pike" Heitler was the lead
er. And as a result there was much
smuggling. r.
The loss of Knots is a heavy blow,
to the divekeepers along Broadway
in the Steel City. Most of these
houses were owned by Chicagoans.
1t is said that Mike de Pike is one
of the heaviest losers by the defeat
of the present administration.
Assisting Heitler and Knots were
Henry Lyman, the race track gam
bier, '"The, Jew Kid" 'Dog-Faced
Charley" and Max the Bum"
Under the new mayor, R.. M. John
son, Republican, these characters
will probably be put to rout, but it is
a question whether the citizens of
Gary gained very much.
Johnson was the candidate of the
steel bosses, pure and simple. Knots
stood for a great deal from the
crooks of the town, but in his last
few years he has endeavored to make
some sort of fight-against the steel
trust running the town as an indi-
Vidual enterprise, 49,:

Infant FEEDING Intervals.

Some people, even those who ought
to know better, think that whenever
baby cries he must be hungry, but as
a matter Of fact he often cries be-
cause he cannot digest his last meal,
and therefore to stuff him still further
Is the last thing anyone Of sense
would do.
A baby should be fed with the ut
most regularity if he is to be well.
For the first three months food
should be given every two hours dur
ing the day, and about every four
hours during the night.
For the following six months he
should be fed every three hours in
the day time and twice or thrice dur
ing the night, and after each meal in
the day as well as in the night, let
the baby lie quietly for at least half
an hour so that nothing may hinder
the process Of digestion.
