CUB REPORTER TAKES
BOSS INTO CONFIDENCE

Dear Boss
News is quiet for spell so I thought
I'd write you little letter.
I suppose you have been reading a
good deal about these vitamines the
human race is supposed to he short on
Wen. I was asking Carl Nelson about it
last evening and he said how it is
all on account Of prohibition. Carl
says that we used to get our Vitamines
in beer along with lot Of alcohol we
might or might not need, ard that now
they are putting them in capsules and
selling them a dollar per bottle.
Personally. never hankered after
capsules. I'll take my vitamines in
LIQUID form. Seems to me the in
dictment against beer is getting Kind
of thin. First the doctors who were
too scared to talk. come out with the
Information that alcohol is necessary
to the human body and that digestion
is nothing but ferme*ta 49, and that
every mans gizzard is a brewery any
way. Too much alcohol is bad but So
is too little and a lot Of people need
LITTLE alcohol imported into their
systems.
Then the druggists come along with
the scientific discovery that people have
not enough vitamines and they had bet
ter take some in condensed form if they
want to throw shadow
Alright then what We need is lit
tie alcohol and lot of vitamines ana
that's what beer is made out of That
makes congress look sort of dumb in
refusing to let doc%7rs prescribe beer
TO foTNs whose systems crave a littlt
alcohol and lot OF Vitamines.
Imagine the gang lined UP at the
soda counter for round Of ,itamines.
BY the way just heard how some
good finally come out of these Gideon
bibles they put in the hotel rooms
Some travelling man threw one out OF
window and hit cop. The travelling
man said chambermaid did it ana
the next day the cop and the chamber
maid got married

full to Cops After Judge
Says Zone Dollar and"

Police Of Hammond, who never
bat an eye when a man berates
them rouudlv while paving a fine,
were rendered speechless this morn
ing when an ex-drunk. after settling
his bill showered them with thanks
and a few minutes later brought in
a big box of cigars.
II was Claude Z. Birst. of Chi
cago. who holds the honor of being
the most grateful victim of the
Hammond police court.
Claude, looking a bit tired and
pale, told a strai ght story when he
faced Judge Klotz.
I bought half pint OF whiskey
in Chicago-it was good whiskey,
for I paid s5 for it-and drank some
of it. I have faint recollection
Of getting into a taxicab and the
next thing I knew was when
woke UP in the cell"
do you know where the officers
found you?" he was asked.
NO don't.
We'll sir. you were in one Of the
niger dumps on Plummer ave"

could say as his face registered
horror

left to pay my fine he said rue

bank yesterday"

lice took s107 from your pockets"
said Prosecutor Joe Todd

ced the judge.
Claude was all smiles when Chief
Austgen dealt out his money and
other belongings after deducting
the fine

And he did.

SEEK TO PREVENT
D|PTHER|A EPIDEMIC

Tour children can be made safe from
dtphtheria
This is preventative week in the Ham
1nond schools. The board Of health and
the schools are to cooperate in an ef-
fort to offset the epidemic of diphtheria
that is spreading over Northern Indi-
ana 1t reached Crown Point last week
and two deaths has resulted.
The initiative for the campaign came
from the Nelson Drug Company which
IS circulating thousands of circulars
advising parents TO take their children
to the physician for the diphtheria i'm
munity test, known as the Schick test.
The pamphlets do not bear the name
OF the drug company and are not adver-
tising. They We're secured through
the etate board of health and the work
is entirely philanthropic.
The pamphlets were copied from
bulletin sent out by the board of health
TO New York City. as follows:
''Diphtheria is one of the most i'm
portant serious diseases of infants and
children. Since the discovery and use
Of diphtheria antitoxin, the number of
deaths from this disease has lessened
seventy-fiv per cent. but thu numberf
o. children attacked by diphtheria each
year has not changed very mu-h
During the last few years, It las
been discovered that a few of the child
rem and many older people have some
thing in their bloJd that keeps them
safe from getting dIphtheria. If thew
are with diph.Asria patents. they 90
net get the S'rcase. A ve~y easy and
harmless test for this was discovered
by schick. A drop of test liquid is in
Iected into the skin. In four days it
IS possible to tel: il the person Is safe

NOVELTY IN WINTER GLOVES
Heavy SILK, Reinforced Handcovesinu
is introduced by Manufacturers,
Kids Match Shoes.

Another novelty of the season, and
one Of the most distinct, Is the intr,,-
duction Of silk gloves for winter. Orig.
iualfy these were created by their
manufacturer to be worn switi the
protection of muif, the object being
to save white gloves, which quick.
ly become hot and sticky inside
nuf. But II has been found that
these silk gloves work so well for 9th.
er purposes that their original mission
is to be extended. They are made of
special heavy silk, and In addition
are reinforced. One type Is a loose
"slip-on" with elastic In a shlrrlng at
the wrist, the silk backed with cotton
woven in with the silk. The other
type Ia the usual shOrt.wrlsted silk
glove, heavy outside with a thinner
silk lining.
Tho imported and domestic kid
gloves have dressed themselves up to
match shoes and stockings, and we
see white glace kid gauntlets lined
with q color, biscuit pale blue, yell
low, and stitching on the backs to
match. The reliable and lndispens-
able ehamoIsette is naturally as much
with us Tate and soon" as ever.

LACE COMES INTO ITS OWN
Material Holds Place Especially for
the Black Evening Frock--used
on Velvet Gowns.

As the season grows apace the black
lace evening frock holds its popular
ity. II Is even taking on many differ
cnt forms; sometimes 1t Is a founda-
ton for a gorgeous drape of gold lace
or silver lace.
Among the prettiest is the black
lace creation which is unrelieved eX-
cept BY a bunch of flaming flowers or
ripe fruit. One such combined the fin.
est chantilly lace with soft black char
meuse. The long sash of wide black
velvet ribbon. an important feature,
was caught with an enormous bunch
Of mammoth scarlet velvet cherries.
Some Of the black velvet frocks have
lsng wing sleeves of the lace which
nningfe with the lace panels let into
the sides; others seem to have more
panels than they can accommodate.
Afternoon frocks are likewise entirely
Of lace or in combination of lace and
seme other material.
Handsome was a frock Of q dark
shade Of brown satin, q material which
Is holding its own this season, and
deep Hounces of delicate cobwebby
lace dyed rich brown. The frock
had lace sleeves or rather the lace
Gounces, bordered with wide band
Of brown fur, which seemed to have
slipped over the shoulders and to veil
the arm. It is difficult to say where
frock of this description fastens and
how the wearer manages to get into 1t,
