from pneumonia which she contracted
a week ago.
Up TO the time she was stricken her
energies in Red Cross work were un-
tagging. No woman in the community
could boast OF better merited praise
than was allotted to her for the giving
OF time aside from the housewifely
duties. in meeting the exigent demands
Of society generally. Being of a liter
ary temperament she was invaluable in
that section Of the East Chicago Wom-
ans Club. She was charter member
Of the old Tuesday Reading Club. before
the merge into the departmental asso-
citation was made. She has held various
offices Of importance on the staff Of the
general club committees and aside from
the work she accomplished in the in
tereets of the Red Cross, she was prom
inent in Lady Elk circles. serving that
order this year as their president. With

OF J. NJ. McQuaid and DR. Teegarden
as members OF the board Of health and
with r. NJ. Royce and T. w. Vic y
as Representatives of the chamber Of

1t seems that while the East Chicago
board of health has been closing these
places and not permitting any Of them
so sell soft drinks or ice cream for
consumption or the property. neither
Hammond nor Gary nor any Of the ad-
Joining towns have taken such action.
At the meeting last night it became
apparent that the local board of health
wanted to be fair in the matter but
at the same time they belived that
the drinking and eating from common
containers not sterilized was a prolific
source of infection and should be stop
ped in the interests of public health.
The matter was thoroughly discus
sed and a compromise arrived at where
by all soft drinks and ice cream places
may open provided they will furnish
Individual paper containers or provid-
ed that such places are equipped with

tainers may be thoroughly sterilized

A visit to the laboratory where th.s
successful remedy is made impresses
even the casual lOoker-on with the reli-
ability, accuracy, skill and cleanliness
which attends the making Of this great
medicine for wOman's ills.
Over $50, 900 pounds of various herbs
are used annually and all have to be
gathered at the season of the year wheT.
their natural juices and medicinal SUD-
stances are at their best.
The most successful solvents are used
TO extract the medicinal properties from
these herbs.
Every utensil and tank that comes in
contact with the medicine is sterilized
and as final precaution in cleanliness
the medicine is pasteurized and sealed
in sterile bottles.
1t is the wonderful combination of
roots and herbs, together with the
skill and care used in its preparation
which has made this famous medicine
so successful in the treatment of
female ills.
The letters from women who have
been restored to health by the use of
