MOTHER
AND CHILD.

Let the mother take
SCOTS Emulsion for the
two; it never fails to
benefit them both. One
can eat for two, but nOur-
ishing two is a different
thing. 1t calls for a de-
gree of internal strength
that the average woman
lacks. People of luxury
are not very strong by
habit; overworked people
are weak in some func-
tons from exhaustion or
their surroundings. Scots
Emulsion can be depend
ed upon to overcome such
conditions. 1t is a Won
derful food, for a mother
and child.

In the case of Oscar C. Stone, charg-
ed with obtaining money under false
pretenses. the jury returned a verdict
of guilty this afternoon. Sentence
has not vet been passed upon the de-
fendant, as he did not care to waive
time for sentence.
The trial of Stone was resumed this
morning after having been postponed
from yesterday afternoon. The great
er part of the forenoon today was
consumed with the hearing Of evidence
inethe case.
Shortly before II o'clock the attor-
neys began their arguments to the
jury and the same were concluded just
before noon. In his closing address,
District Attorney Phelps said he la
mented the fact that one who had
been admitted to the bar should so act
as to be placed on trial for a felony.
However, he said no consideration
should be shown the defendant be-
cause of his legal standing, and refer
red to Stone as "a wart on the nose of
the profession"
The jury was out but a short time
when verdict of guilty was return
