10000 BARRELS
Of CEMENT

The Consolidated Pulp and Water
Power company of this city have sew
eral improvements that they expect
to make this summer and fall, both in
this city and at Biron.
They have placed an order with the
Johnson & Hill Co. for 10000 barrels
of cement. Most ofthis will be used
in the city of Grand Rapids for the
erection of two concrete piers to re
place the timber construction on the
east end of their dam which lands
about opposite the McRaith property.
They also intend to put in at the
east end, steel gates for the better
handling of the water at that end of
the dam.
Another improvement will be the
replacing of the timber construction
OF the dam just east of the mill and
reduce that part of the dam so it will
be on level with the present spill
part of the dam.
They also intend to improve their
present dam construction at Biron by
substituting concrete for timber con-
struetion, particulars of which will be

ANOTHER
SUCCESSFUL
BARGAIN DAY

From Tuesdays Daily.
The weather man put on a smile for
the Special Bargain Day. The sun
rose in cloudless sky and the day
gave promise Of being ideal.
That the people of this vicinity ap-
preciate this big special bargain day
was shown by the fact that shoppers
were out early anxious to take adj
vantage of the numerous special bar
gains the enterprising merchants were
offering.
Some stores had to send for extra
help in order to handle the customers
and give them proper attention. At
some places the buyers began to gath
er as early as 7.3O o'clock.
While the early shoppers were peo-
pie from the city and suburbs, still at
a comparatively early hour people
from the country commenced to arrive
and by mid-forenoon the stores were
busy.

RENNETS MADE
IN WISCONSIN
War is Teaching Wisconsin Farmers
to Supply Seed Which Have Hith-
erto Come from Europe.
(By United Press Association

Madison, Wis, April 1.-THE Eu-
ropean war is teaching Wisconsin
farmers that they are in a position to
supply many of the seeds which here
tofore have been got by importation
from foreign countries.
1t is not improbable that Wiscon-
sins resources for high priced drugs
will be developed. The state pharma-
ceutical laboratory located here is
working along this line at the present
time
Until the opening of the war, A
merican cheese makers depended al
most entirely upon foreign countries
for their source of rennet, a material
which is necessary in the manufac-
ture of either foreign or American
cheese. Rennet is produced from one
of the stomachs of milkfed calves and
until recently has been shipped from
Russia, Germany, Denmark and other
foreign countries. There are but two
rennet factories in the United States.
One is located at Little Falls, New
York and the other in this city. The
managers Of both of these laboratories
are rapidly developing home supplies
and in so doing are enabling butchers
and farmers to make profitable use of
what has been waste product hereto
fore. They are paying as high as II
cents pound for these stomachs, and
the local consumer is getting the very
best of stock from Wisconsin. 1t is
estimated that there are between
800 and 1000 butchers in the state
and many of these have large numbers
of rennets for sale. The remainder of
the supplies is furnished by packers.

to the painful part. Just apply as di-

time the pain gives way to tingling
sensation of comfort and warmth.
