WILL DISCUSS
/. IMPORTANT QUESTION
Street Cars or Jitneys In
trigues Calumet Avenue
Property Owners.

Calumet avenue property owners
will meet Wednesday evening to
talk over the question of street cars
vs.. jitneys.
Because OF the campaigning which
has been going on by persons in
terested in one side or the other the
topic has become one of paramount
interest to East Siders And be-
cause of this interest It was de-
cided to hold the session in the au-
ditorium of the high school build
ing so there would be plenty Of room
for all.
Supt C. E. Lawrence of the street
car company will be there to ex-
plain the companys recent offer to
the city in exchange for enmina-
ton Of titneys from streets on
which the cars operate. This offer
includes line on Calumet avenue.
But the jitneurs aren't idle. They
will have their representatives at
tomorrow's meeting to tell what
they are doing and what they in
tend to do in the future II given a
chance. They have some proposi-
tions of their own up their sleeves.
Representatives of the street car
company and the jitney drivers as
sociation have been sounding out the
sentiment Of Calumet avenue prop
erty owners but haven't made sat
isfactory progress. So IL was de-
Yielded to call a meeting of the Ham
mond Civic Improvement Associa-
tion and thresh II out there. Secre-
tary James A Malo issued the call
today.

DIR. SHANKLIN TELLS
KIWANIANS CANCER
IS ON INCREASE

DR.. z. NJ Shanklin, one of Lake
county's most reputable physicians.
gave an interesting talk this noon
to the Kiwanis club on cancer DR..
Shanklin is a member OF the can
cer-week'' committee for the coun-
ty. acting under the direction of
the American Society For The Con-
troll OF Cancer
The disease is on the increase in
the United States. he says.
Cancer IS not blood disease,
neither Is II hereditary. DR.. Shank
lin declared. 1t IS not contagious
and 1t is durable by operation, X
ray or radium treatment
Cancer IS a group of cells gone boil
shevik and running wild. the ply
sician said. It begins always as
result of constant Irritation and
the common cause OF cancer of the
lip among men is pipe or cigar slnok-
Ing. In q neighboring community.
the physician stated. cancer OF the
stomach has been prevalent for
any years. due no doubt to the wa
ter which is used for drinking pur-
poses there TT is evident" said
DR.. Shanklin, that there is some
thing in the water that irritates the
stomach"
DR.. Shanklin declared that he
knows of at least fifty people in
Hammond who have submitted 10
operations for cancer and have
been cured. These people. however.
do not tell the nature of the opera
tion. he said. and the public suffers
as consequence in that IL does not
have the proper information about
the disease and It's cure"
One in every ten persons over
fifty years of age die of cancer, DR..
Shanklin said
IF YOU have any pimple or sore
that is persistent, that runs along
without Improvement. have an ex-
pert opinion regarding it," said the
speaker. Don't go TO a cancer quack
who says he can cure the disease
with paste applications or any
method other than X-Ray, radium
or operation.
ANY person over thirty-fve
years Of age who has a mole should
have II removed. It may become a
cancer. Don't irritate it with cleo
trio needles. Have it eradicated by
a surgeon"
