FURNISHING LIQUOR COST $500.
Herbert H. Howe Fined That Amount
in Municipal Court.

Herbert H. Howe of Brookline
pleaded guilty to one offence of fur
nishing liquor and was fined $500 and
costs amounting to $305,64 in the mu-
nicipal court Monday afternoon. AT
ter a day of picnicking with the
grangers August 23, Howe and several
friends gathered in the baggage car
of the 5.45 train on the West River
branch and all became social. During
the greetings and heart-to heart talks
that followed the cup that cheers was
passed around and the resulting dem
constructions came to the attention of
State s Attorney r. G. Bacon. A
warrant was served on Howe in
Brookline by Deputy Sheriff A. W. j..
Wilkins August 20, charging him
with furnishing liquor contrary to the
laws of the state. Howe was brought
to Brattleboro and pleaded not guilty
to the charge and Frank II. Howard
became surety to the amount of $500
for Howe's appearance September 3.
By an agreement the case was again
postponed to the 18th but in order to
speedily dispose of the case the time
was again changed to Monday.
The respondent changed his plea to
that of guilty but through his counsel,
A. F. Schwenk, told his story some
what different than that which the
state s attorney maintains it to be.
The liquor in question belonged to
Levi J. Strong and was taken out of
pocket by Howe and passed
to another of the party. Up to this
point both agreed. Where a differ
ence in evidence came was whether or
not Howe pulled the bottle out of
Strong's pocket and treated according |
to the expressed wish of Strong or
whether it was done entirely on the
of Howe. The respond
,nt's counsel claimed that Howe acted
as an agent and the state affirmed
hat Strong was in a condition Dor
lering on oblivion and not able to di
ect Howe as is claimed. "Just what
he truth of the matter is may be a
luestion but the prosecution of these
iinds of violations will continue"
aid Attorney Bacon, "until these of
ences are stopped" :

Championship to Be Settled Tomorrow.

The baseball championship of south
ern Vermont will be settled tomorrow
afternoon on the island when the
Bondville and Newfane teams will
pay off the tie which resulted from
the Labor day contest. Evans will
pitch for Bondville and it is expected
that the slants and shoots which he
will propel across the slab will raiss
brainstorms among the Newfane
swatsmen. Evans pitched against the
Cuban Giants last Friday, holding
them down to four hits and striking
out eight men. Bush will probably
deliver the goods for Newfane.

FOOD
 FACTS 
F o O D A Body Balance

People hesitate at the statement that the famous food, GrapeNuts, yields as much nourishment from one pound as can be absorbed by the system from ten pounds of meat bread, wheat or oats. Ten pounds of meat might contain more nourlshment than one pound of Grape Nuts but not in shape that the system will absorb as large a proportion of. as the body can take up from one pound of Grape-Nuts.
 This food contains the selected parts of wheat and barley which are prepared and by natural means predigested, trans formed into a form of sugar. ready for immediate assimilation. People in all parts of the world testify to the value of Grape-Nuts.
 A Mo. man says: 'T have gained ten pounds on Grape Nuts food. 1 can truly recommend 1t to thin people," He had been eating meat. bread, etc. right along. but there was no ten pounds of added flesh until Grape Nuts food was used.
 One curious feature regarding true health food is that its use will reduce the weight of a corpulent person with un- healthy flesh. and will add to the weight There is abundance of evidence to prove this
 Grape-Nuts balances the body in a con- dition of true health. Scientific selection of food clements makes Grape-Nuts good and valuable. Its delicious flavor and powerful nourishng properties have made friends that in turn have made Grape Nuts famous. There's a Reason.' Read "The Road to Melville" in pkgs-

PRISONERS CLAIM
 THEY CANNOT WORK
SAY CONDITIONS ARE so BAD AT THE JAIL THAT THEY CANNOT sLEEP-GUARD CHARGED WITH CRUELTY.

J. w. Appleton and Alex Pastorius, charged with refusing to work after being sentenced. were tried in the police court yesterday morning before Judge Feagin, the charges having been preferred by Street Guard McMurray. The cases attracted no little attention when they caused subpoenas to be issued by Judge Feagin for the acting mayor. Street Commissioner McCartin and Warden Williams.
 The charges against the men were that they refused to work while on the street with the gang under Guard McMurray, but the men claim that they were not in condition to do the work which the guard tried to force upon them, it being stated by the men that the conditions under which they are kept in Jail made them unfit for the work. Consequently they charge the street guard of cruelty to the men.
 The men state that they work hard all day and then have to go into the jail and that 1t is impossible for them to sleep in the prison where there is so much noise. They claim that there is loud hollowing in the jail which pre- vents them from sleeping and this they say accounts for their inability to do the work.
 The case may prove an interesting one. It will probably mean an investi- gatlon of the street cleaning system, and an attempt to better conditions in the prison where the gang is kept at night. The case was continued until this afternoon.

ARRESTED SIX TIMES.
Dump EmpIoye Is Pounced Upon By
 EIyton Officers.

One of the trash Jumpers of the city of Birmingham was arrested six times dur Ing the afternoon Tuesday and was re- quired to make bond in the instance of each arrest. Street Commissioner McCar- tin fixed it up on the Elyton authorities so that they would arrest only one man and not arrest all six of his Jumpers. He would have the wagons driven up to the gate leading to where the trash is dumped, and then the wagon would be turned over to the one Jumper and he would immediately go over and dump his trash and get arrested. Six times he dumped trash and six times he was ar rested during Tuesday evening.
 No attempt was made to arrest the drivers yesterday, probably on account of the injunction gotten out by the city of Birmingham against the city of Elyton. The trash was dumped at the usual place and in the usual manner yesterday, but no attempt was made 10 pull them.'

Moving day comes around again on October 1, and quite few changes are slated for the retail district One of the biggest changes will be the re-modeling of the Allen building on Third avenue, which will be used by the Bynum Milli- nery company, this concern using the en- tire building of four floors.

 Another change will be the remodelng of the building next to the Peerless sa- loon on Second avenue, and now occupied by the Famous clothing store.
