be the first in four or five years,
court officials said today.
The session was called recently to
inquire into matters not disclosed,
following the presentation Of Pc
tition to Judge Fred Jansonius Of
the Fourth Judicial district.
Not in five years has there been
an occasion for a grand jury scs-
sion, it was pointed out, as there
have not been any cases disclosed
that could not be handled and pre-
sented though the regular court
channels.
1t is indicated that the case Or
cases scheduled for the called scs-
sion concern matters which have
been investigated by the proper au-
thoritics but for the lack of addition
al evidence they were not able to
build up a case for prosecution.

said, will get to the bottom Of such
a case, or cases.

HARD
ARTERIES

Hardening arteries indicate high
blood pressure, which means that
the blood in the heart and blood
vessels is under too great tension
"a condition which may end life
suddenly.
High blood pressure, indicated by
hard arteries, heart palpitation,
dizziness and difficulty in breathing,
is the penalty Of our abnormal
habits of living. We place too
great a strain on the vital organs,
especially the liver. The liver be-
coming limp" or sluggish, fails to
cleanse the blood of the toxic pois-
ons formed in food waste. The
whole system then becomes toxic,
with stomach, kidneys, heart and
blood vessels affected.
1t is generally recognized that the
. liver occasionally needs a little
help. There is nothing better for
this, as medical men know, than
little OK gall. Ok gall has been
found TO be great stimulant for
the liver. The genuine, pure OK
gall is to be had, dainty and taste
less, in the form of Dioxol tablets.
Each tablet represents 10 drops of
pure OK gall and costs less than &c
at good druggists. To be sure of
getting the genuine, look for the
name Dioxol and picture of ox's
head on the package.
