THINK SCALPERS ARE
At WORK IN THE CITY
Detectives Watch Exchanging
of Cars BY Working Men at
Four COrnerS-ArreStS May
Be Made Tonight.

That ticket scalpers are at v ork in
the CITY plying their profession by SELL
ing city car transfers is claimed by
several down town business men and
it is said that on Friday and Satur-
day evenings just at the closing hours
of the east end factories, four detec-
tives or inspectors were at watch on
the four corners to get evidence that
some of the east end factory employees
sell their transfers To South Bend men
employed at the Dodge Manufacturing
Co. II is we'll known fact that South
Bend men employed in this city have
been giving transfers to men employ
ed in the end factories in the morn
ings and in the evenings exchanging
back with the men for South Bend
transfers, thus making the fare for a
number of men only five cents.
1t is thought that no stop can be
put TO this practice but it is claimed
that professional scalperS gather the
transfers from the east end men, pay
ing them a small amount, and that
and then sell them to South Bend
men for a rate per week. 1t seems
little money could be made in this
manner by scalpers. but when pushed
on a large scale it may be possible for
them to realize a considerable amount
each week.
There were no arrests made Friday
or Saturday evenings but some may
be made Monday evening, as 1t is eX-
pected that the men will again be on
watch

P. F. Paul of Lexington, Ohio,

His S0n-He Had Epilepsy
Had As Many As 20
SpaSmS in One Day.

One OF the most horrible diseases
known TO mankind is Epilepsy. II not
only endangers the life OF the patient
but renders him unfit FOR ordinary oc-
cupation. and il also makes him an
object of pity and fear 10 his friends
and acquaintance. and weakens his
mind. The terrOrs of Epilepsy have
been greatly increased by the fact
that the doctors were unable 10 ind
a cure for il. and the patient must live
in misery, and in fear OF suddenly
losing his life or becoming insane.
The wonderful treatment used by
the United Doctors. those expert med
zeal specialists who have their South
Bend Institute located on the second
floor Of the Toepp Building. on So.
Main St, opposite the Post Office. IS
causing quite a stir in the medical
world. This wonderful treatment has
been useed by the United Doctors for
about three years and the results
have been extremely successful.
one of the recent cases is the son
OF Mr.. p l. Paul OF Lexington, Ohio,
whose letter appears below:

ITO the Public:
When my son Paul was three and
a half years old he was taken with
Epileptic fits. having as many as
twenty in one day. and as a rule about
ten a day. / had his treated by my
home doctors, but with little or TO re-
suits. Through my friends in Mans
field l was persuaded TO consult ia
United Doctors for my boys trouble.
The day I brought him to these doc
tors he had six attacks before break
fast that morning. and several spells
on the way 10 town. and had one
while in the Doctors office. / COM
menced treatment and after a short
time these attacks became less fire.
quent, and after about five weeks the
attacks ceased entirely and since that
time he has had no attacks what
ever.
I am glad 10 have the public know
what these doctors have done for my
son, and can heartily recommend il
10 all who are or have friends so af-
hicted. p +. PAUL"

cialists in their various Institutes is
