Corunna, December 28.-The cir
cult court calendar for the January
term, will be record breaker in size
Containing approximately $500 cas-
es, it will be a book of about 312
pages.
The large number of cases is due
to the provision of the judicature act
which makes it incumbent upon the
court to take up all cases more than
one year old, still on the court rec
ords. County Clerk Nichols has dug
up about $500 of these. In many of
them, the principals have long since
died. Under the new statute, the
court must dispose of them in some
way.
1t Is likely that the first two or
three days OF the term will be devot-
ed to the old cases. The procedure
will be more or less a formality for
they will be called and the probabi-
lities are that neither side will ap-
pear, and they will be dismissed
According to an order made Mon
day by Judge Miner, the January cal
endar will be six by nine inches in
dimensions, or twice as wide as the
usual calendar. Eight cases will be
printed on each page, in eight point
type. The Owosso Times was given
the job.
The court also made an order let
ting the jobs Of printing the calen-
dars for other court terms, as fol-
lows: September, Owosso Times; No
vember, Corunna News; January,
Owosso Argus; May to alternate be-
tween Owosso Press-American and
Durand Express.

sample of your water and describe

examine 1t, then DR.. Pierce will report

NOTE. -" "Anuric" is thirty-seven
times more active than lithia in elimi-
mating uric acid, and is harmless but
reliable chemical compound that may
be safely given to CHILDREN. but should
be used only by grown-ups who actu-
ally wish to restore their kidneys to
perfect health, by conscientiously
using one box-or more in extreme
cases-as "Anuric" thanks to Doctor
Pierce's achievement) is by far the
most perfect kidney and bladder cor
