BODY AND BRAINS.

Whether the brains of men
are being developed at the ex-
pense of the bodies is not a
question that we can settle,
but there is no question that
there are many individual cases
where the body is weaker than
it ought to be.
To produce big healthy
brains and big healthy bodies
take SCOTS Emulsion. Child
hood is the time to commence.
The effort of SCOTS Emul-
sion is to make nature do her
best with the materials on hand.
1t checks all those little weak
nesses and faults of nourish-
ment which result in imperfect
development.
Nothing more strengthening

Saturday Judge Bollinger overruled
the motion for new trial in the case
of the state VS.. James Pope, who was
convicted month ago of the crime
of incest. and pronounced sentence
of life Imprisonment upon the pris-
oner. Pope didn't twitch a muscle
when the sentence was imposed upon
him. He expected it. When he offer
ed to plead guilty if he would be only
given Il 20 years sentence, the judge
refused it, and from that time he
knew his fate. He is an illiterate
man, whose moral sensibilities are
nil. He is so dense that he did not.
and does not. realize the enormity of
his crime. He is past 60 years of age,
and at the time of his arrest for the
crime was living at 1897 West Third
street One of his sons, Lincoln Pope,
was convicted in 1901 of bigamy, and
served nine months therefor in the

ed her to five years at hard labor at
