Plant Works Capacity

The Sulphogerm Production cor
poration, whose mill was built a few
months ago at Sulphur mountain,
four miles west of Thermopolis. is
now working two shifts, 16 hours
daily, and producing at the rate of a
ton of sulphogerm an hour, the ca
pacity of the mill. Word has come
from Cheyenne. where the company
has a mixing plant, that orders are
at hand to keep the mill working at
its capacity for a year and a half.
The plant is not a large one, there
being q men employed, but there is
an opportunity to make it n of the
largest labor employing industries in
the Big Horn basin. Indications are
that the company is ready to expand
by charging the mill.

LEGAL QU|RK BARS
ACTION ON SHIP BID
Cramp Company's Offer to

ply also a duplicate power plant Tor

or the whole job, and the Secretary
and his advisers have been unable to
determine whether the Cramp bid is
a competitive one in a legal sense
and therefore acceptable. Other bid
ders are making a vigorous fight
against its acceptance.
The Cramp Company also submit
ted a bid OF Sl0,5S0.000 for construc-

Mrs. Parker. land it Is the truth
that KonJola has so completely
ended my rheumatism that walk
fine now.
MY suffering started over six
months ago, and developed into in
flammatory rheumatism. My limbs
and feet were swollen twice their
regular size. was confined in bed,
and my joints were so stiff and rigid
that I couldn't bear to be touched or
moved. I was in such constant
Rtsery that never got more than
or ten minutes rest at a time.
I had to keep pads on my limbs
constantly for three weeks. While
I was in all this state Of misery,
large knots formed on my spine and
the back of my neck. They were as
large as my fist, and of course, no
one knew how long l would be in
this condition, and 1t seemed a ques-
ton If I would ever be like my real
self again.
'T have tried to describe the
agonies suffered, so you will know
how thankful l am for the work of
Konjola. will say that in less than
a week after 1 started taking this
medicine I felt sure 1t was going to
pull me through, because l rested
better and some of the swelling went
down. Then, by the time 1 had
taken bottles was out Of bed and
able to walk around. Now I don't
have an ache or pain anywhere in
my body, and the swelling is com
pletely gone, and the large knots
have disappeared from the back Of
my neck and spine. can walk
just as freely as anyone, and It
certainly is amazing to the people,
who know me, because they are all
surprised and delighted to see me
in good health. 1 never leave the
