CANNOT BE IMPRISONED
Court Of Appeals Decision in REGARD
10 Liquor Tax LAW VioIntOrs.

Aipany, N. Y, Oct. 26.-Among the de-
cisions handed down by the court of ap-
peals yesterday was one in an important
liquor tax law case, entitled the People
appellant, against Conrad Stock. This
court holds with the appellate division
second department, that as the liquor tax
law makes no specific provisions for the
imprisonment of q violator, or when he
refuses to pay fine imposed, he cannot
be imprisoned for such refusal
Stock was convicted in Dutchess Coun-
~ in 1881 for selling liquor without tax
Gel tificate and fined $500 and in default Of
payment TO stand committed to the coun-
u Jail for term not TO exceed one day
for each dollar of the fine. He was taken
before Judge Barnard on a writ of ha-
beas corpus and discharged, the justice
holding that the liquor tax law made no
provision for Imprisonment in lieu of the
nonpayment of a fine The court Of Gp-
peals affirmed this judgment.
There are several cases of this kind in
the courts which hinge on this decision.

Is 1T A TRIFLE?
THAT COMMON TROUBLE, ACID
DYSPEPSIA OR SOUR STOMACH.
Now Recognized as n Cause of Seri-
GUS Disease.

Acid dyspepsia, commonly called heart
burn or sour stomach. is a form of indi-
Eestion resulting from fermentation of the
food. The stomach being too weak to
promptly digest II, the food remains until
fermentation begins, filling the stomach
with gas and a bitter. sour, burning taste
IN the mouth is often present. This con-
dition soon becomes chronic. and being an
everyday occurrence, is given but little
attention. Because dyspepsia is not i'm
mediately fatal. many people do nothing
for the trouble.
Within a recent period a remedy has
been discovered prepared solely TO cure
dyspepsia and stomach troubles. 1t Is
known as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
and is now becoming rapidly used and
prescribed as a radical cure for every
form of dyspepsia.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have been
placed before the public, and are sold bv
druggists everywhere at so cents per mack
age. It is prepared by the Stuart Chem
ical Co, Marshall, Mich, and while il

! Reconcile these contradictions if you
can and you will have the secret OF the
genius of Tolstoi. Critics are at their
wits ends in handling the young Rus
sian who writes: Il can we'll compre-
bend the most atrocious crimes, COM
mitted without aim, without desire to
injure as it were from curiosity, from
an unconscious necessity of doing some
thing" There are moments when the
future presents itself to man in col
ors so dark that the mind shuns from
contemplating it, when he suspends
entirely the exercise of his reason and
forces himself to be persuaded that he
will have no future and that he has had
no past"
Between times Tolstoi acquired by
various readings in all languages an
encyclopedia store of knowledge. Hav-
ing seen men of all conditions and read
their lives, he wrote War and Peace"
The work is we'll known. Romance or
epic, as you choose to call IL, 1t is the
fullest and most faithful mirror that
has ever been presented to any of US;
one in which we may recognize our
fellows and know ourselves
