THINKS COUNTY
NEEDS SEALER
Official to Enforce Standard
Weights and Measures

1t would be a good plan for Hough-
ton county, or this county i'm conjunc-
ton with some other county, to appoint
an official weights and measures sealer,
under the authorization given i'm the
act passed at the last session of the
legislature, according To John r. Rove
of I.aurium, deputy inspector for this
district.
The Houghton county board has not
yet given the matter consideration, bat
il is likely To he urged as soon as more
pressing business, incident to the
strike, is disposed of.
The instruction Of sealers Of weights
and measures in Ontonagon. Menomi-
nee. Alger and Chippewa counties was
the purpose Of a tour Of that section
by Deputy Rowe. In each county the
board Of supervisors has taken action
in conjunction with the enactment of
the standard measures act of 1913 and
the Interpretation of the law was inn
pressed upon officials of that depart.
ment.
At recent meeting of deputy food
inspectors in Lansing, James r. Heme
head of the pure food department, in
structed his force as 10 the provisions
of the act and requested that they in
turn, impart the knowledge TO county
sealers. The duties connected with
the office of a county weights ana
measures inspector frequently are
voluminous and il is the desire of the
department that each sealer become
fully cognizant with what may be eX-
pected of him. The equipment of the
Office, too. is not small and each coun.
ty that elects TO enforce the law must
possess the complete set of STANDARD
measures and weights.
1t is the attitude of the state food
that the law be vigorously
enforced and to that end, supervisors
in various counties are cooperating
with the state.

other feature.
Exalted Ruler James r. Fisher will
confer some day this week with Judge
OF Probate George G. Bentley, who also
is the juvenile court officer for Hough-
ton county. and will endeavor to ascer-
tam the extent to which the Elks big
brother plan" mention of which has
frequently been made before, may be
applied i'm this county, and whether or
not II would prove helpful to the
juvenile court Briefly, the Elks
big brother movement aims to seek
out erring Juveniles, and through the
application by some big hearted Elk of
a brotherly interest in each individual
case, to guide the erring footsteps over
the pitfalls which are ahead and pre-
pare the boy for "A useful manhood and
citizenship. II is a noble purpose and
the Calumet Elks are fortunate in
having among their membership a
number of men qualified to carry i
to successful fulfllment. The views
of Judge of Probate Bentley on the
subject will be given to the lodge at
the next regular meeting one week

for placing the plan IN

5000 heavy jolts every day
1t is hard to realize, without such illus
trations, the tremendous force exerted
in the movement of the human body.
They give you an idea of the force
with which you come down on your
heels of hard, unyielding leather with
every step you take.
The total weight of your daily steps
is something enormous. If you are a
person of average activity, you take about
5000 steps day. If you weigh $50
pounds, the total "thump" on your heels
amounts to 100000 pounds, or 600 tons!
No wonder this constant succession of
heavy shocks, carried through your mus
cles, spine and nerves, gradually saps
your strength and wears you out.
How this affects your vitality
The vitality you waste by humping
along on hard heels means just so much
less enerpv to work with and think with
