MISSING MAN SHORT
$4,000 IS CHARGED
Mrs. Theresa Scott Claims Big
Money and Rent Loss.

Detroit. Mich, April DISCHARGES of
alleged shortages in funds handled by
Hiram B. Sackett, missing Detroit at.
tCrney, were made involving more
than $4,000. One Of the alleged vic.
Tins, Mrs. Theresa Scott, vows she
will obtain a warrant for Sasketts ar
rest, in the firm conviction that he is
not dead, but has fed the city.
Mrs. SCOTS attorneys say that
$500, deposited in a downtown bank
for her two sons, was Withdrawn two
weeks ago and blamcs Sackett. She
says $4,000 in cash, and thousands
Of dollars in rentals also have net
peen accounted for.
Judge Hanley says the extent OF the
alleged Misrepresentation cannot be
determined until after a hearing The
probate court files are missing on the
case, and no record is available. He
does not believe Mrs. Scott will be a
heavy loser.
Mrs. Sackett, wife of the man
whose coat and hat were found on a
Wyandotte dock, still is under physi.
clans care. Attorney alexander
Munro, her lawyer, attorneys from the
alleged victims and the bonding COM
pany are active in the case. Postal
authorities are believed to be on the
lookout for any message the missing
man may send to his wife or mother.

Don't Sleep Well
No Good Reason
Just Can't Sleep

Some people can't sleep. There
seems to be no special reason. They
have no disease Of the nervous sys-
habits are pretty good. They may
smoke a little or drink little, yet
their habits are fair. Still they can't
sleep well.
Just q little unbalanced in the nerve
centers. That is all. They should
have little "righting up"
A tonic will generally do this. The
right sort of a tonic. Peruna is ex-
actly the tonic. Digestion is hurried
by Peruna. The stomach is empty
and ready to rest for the night. The
circulation Is equalized. The brain
is relieved of all COMPOSITIONS and irri-
tations.
The Peruna acts on every blood
vessel in the system. 1t acts on all
of the nerve centers. One begins to
sleep and hardly knows why.
Take a teaspoonful to one table,
spoonful Of Peruna before each meal.
Sometimes another tablespoonful at
bedtime is necessary. where the sleep
lessness is very pronounced.
Just try It, neighbor. You will be
glad If you do. One bottle will con-
vince you. Peruna is no sleep medi-
cine. II is not a nervine. 1t contain.
no narcotics. It is nothing Of that
sort. It is simply a regulative tonic.
Every home should be provided
with the last edition Of the ellis Of

Improvement

iTupTowoUoUt'
Since the meeting OF The property
owners along The Looking Glass river
was held in Corunna some weeks ago,
1t has come to the knowledge of the
Looking Glass River Improvement as
sociation, that unless in the plans for
dredging Looking Glass river, plans
are also made for a drain along the
the course Of the south branch of
Looking Glass river, known as Vermil-
lion Creek the residents along that
tributary will oppose the improving of
Looking Glass river Vermillion Creek
rises in Locke township, Ingham county
and flows through Perry andsWoodhull
townships in Shiawassee county and
Bath and Victor townships in Clinton
county. On section 25, Victor, 1t
empties into the Looking Glass river.
There are said to be two factions
among the residents of the Looking
Glass river valley One faction de-
sires to drain the valley and believe by
so doing much poor land might be re-
claimed. The other faction desires to
dam Looking Glass river and form an
artificial lake near Laingsburg.
1t is the opinion of some that both
factions may be satisfied by damming
Looking Glass river east of Laingsburg
and west of Laingsburg begin the i'm
prOvement of the stream.
Since the project of an artificial lake
has been discussed, land previously con.
sidered waste land has become very
valuable.

RADIUN FAILS TO SAVE
CONGRESSMAN BREMNER CAN
LIVE ONLY 4 SHORT TIME.
Victim For First Time Gives Up and
Makes Arrangements For Dis
position OF His Business.

BALTIMORE, Md.-Congressman
Robert G. Bremner of New Jersey,
who had the entire supply Of radium
possessed by Dr.. Howard A. Kelly
and valued at 100000 placed in a
cancer last December, is dying. 1t
was announced tonight that compli-
cations had arisen and death was a
matter of only a few days, perhaps
hours; that only the indomitable will
of the congressman was keeping him
alive.
MI. Bremner rallied this morn
ing from the weakened condition of
yesterday and insisted on working
on bill he has before congress. This
afternoon he called his brother, Mr..
Leith Bremner, of Richmond, Va,
to the bedside and, telling him he
realized the end was not far off, re-
quested him to take charge of the
Passaic Daily Herald, which he owns.
When Mr. Bremner consulted DR..
Kelly in December, and it is under
stood that neither DR.. Kelly nor his
assistant, DR.. C. E. Burnam, because
of the cancers size, ever had been
sanguine about a cure, the congress
mans optimism was communicated
to all with whom he came in contact.
His fight has been a remarkable one
and he continued to receive his
friends until a few days ago.
About four years ago he began to
feel the pain of the cancer, but be-
lieved it was rheumatism. In a few
months he learned its deadly nature.
Physicians in this country and Eu-
rope tried in vain to cure him.
Mr.. Bremner's election to con-
gress was accomplished while he lay
IN bed i'll. He did not make a
speech. The election is said to have
been a tribute to his pluck. On the
night beore election President Will
son, then governor of New Jersey,
waiting to hear whether he was to
be president of the United States, is
said to have visited PasSaic and to
have made speech for Bremner.
Mr.. Bremner is a native of Keiss,
Caitness, Scotland, whence the fam
lily emigrated to Canada when he was
3 youth.

new DENOMINATION IN STAMPS
Odd Numbers Will Be Issued, and
Will Materially Aid in Making
Change at PostoffiCe.

According to unofficial advices re-
ceiyed in Dawson the United States
government is preparing to issue sew
eraI new series of POSTAGE stamps OF
various denominations in order to
facilitate the handling of parcel post
packages.
At the present time the government
does not issue stamps Of the denoml-
nations of II, 10, II and 80 cents,
and other denominations. This has
not been necessary until the adoption
of the parcel post, as the few large
parcels which would have required a
comparatively large amount OF post
age did not warrant their issue. How
ever. since the admission of large
parcels to the mails, some requiring
as much as two dollars or three dol
lars for their delivery, it has been
found that quite a considerable loss
of time was noted from the fact that
the clerks were obliged to take a pad
and mcneil sometimes in order to add
the total amount of the various
stamps affixed to these parcels.
The new denominations will mate
rally aid in the making change" in
stamps. and will facilitate their
checking in the postoffice. The new
denominations will include the Z, IL,
Is and 80 cents and other denomi-
nations.
