discretion of the court. such discre-
ton being understood to be limited
in point of imprisonment to two years
and in point of fine to $1,000.
The only legal limit in the impoSi-
ton Of offenses constituting misde-
mcanOrS which are not provided for

shall not be so severe as to constitute
''cruel ana unusual punishment in

A DANGEROUS MISTAKE
Raleigh Mothers Should Not Neglect

Save the child from deadly kidney

Raleigh parents recommend them.
Mrs. A. C. Howell. of 215 e. Davie
st. says: "My little boy suffered from q
kidney weakness. The secretions from
those organs were thick and he al
ways complained of being unable to
retain it and often wet the bed. He
had sallow look and his back ached
n great deal and he also had much
headache. / had q doctor attend him

not complain of backache of headache
