County Officers
Seeking Speeders

1t promises to be a warm summer
in Gratiot count for speeders dur
ing the coming months, a motorcycle
officer being out paroling the roads
OF Gratiot, and it is regarded as
more than possible that this same Of
ficer may take it into his head to
travel around in this vicinity before
very long, with the expectation of
picking up speeder or two.
AT the recent meeting of the board
of supervisors the purchase of a mo-
tcrcycle by the county was authoriz-
ed. 1t has been secured and Row
Willert, son of Sheriff Willert, and
one Of the deputies of the county. is
now riding it around the county. His
first day out Willert contented him
self with just issuing a few friendly
warnings 10 the speeders. 1t is under
stood that the day of warnings is
over, however, and that speeders
from now on must face the justice.

The barrel arch of the tank will
need more support than ordinarily
planned because of the pressure from
above on the sides against the water
sand, which may be easily displaced
under pressure, and this will be
strengthened by additional concrete
work.
1t is estimated that the cost of the
additional excavating and the addi-
tional concrete work in making the
large tank safe will cost about $4,000
more than originally planned, thus

Mr.. james II. Allen suffered for yeas
with rheumatism. Many times this ter

rheumatism until the accumulated impuri-
ties, commonly called uric acid deposits, were
dissolved in the joints and muscles and
expelled from the body.
With this idea in mind he consulted physi-
clans made experiments and finally com,
pounded a prescription that quickly and
completely banished every sign and symp-
tom Of rheumatism from his system.
He freely gave his discovery 70 others who
took IL. with what might be called marvel
