After Sickness

nothing SO rapidly restores health
and vigor as SCOTS EMULSION.
It is the essence of natural body
nourishment, so medically perfect
that nature Immediately appropri-
ates and distributes it to every
organ, every tissue-feeding,
nourishing, and restoring them to
normal activity.
ScOTT'S EMULSION is not a
patent medicine, but is natures
body-nourishment with curative,
upbuilding properties and without
a drop of drug or alcohol. 1t con-
tains superior cod liver oil, the
hypophosphites of lime and soda
with glycerine, and is so delicately
emulsifed that it enters the system
without digestive effort builds,
tones and sustains.
After Group, whooping cough,
measles and other child ailments it
is natures ally in restoring health.
After grippe or pneumonia it
imparts strength and health. and
for colds, coughs, sore, tight chests
and throat troubles SCOTT's
EMULSION gives the greatest relief
known.

INDICTMENTS WILL BE ASKED AGAINST TWO PROMINENT
 NEW YORK OFFICIALS.
WHITMAN HAS TIE EVIDENCE
Civilian Employe of City Is oIso In. voIved-WiII Press the Mur. der Charge Ahead of the
 Charges of Graft.

New York, Aug 7.-District Attor- ney Whitman has evidence in his possession, it was learned tonight, on which he expects to seek indictment of two high police officials and a civilian employe attached to police headquarters on the charge of black mailing gamblers and proprietors of other illegal resorts.
 The men were all mentioned in the confession of Jack Rose Through private detectives and a confession of "Bridgie" Webber, the district att torney has obtained corroborative eve idence of the alleged graft and upon this he is convinced indictments can be found.
 These three men, together with , ~..ce Lieutenant Becker, collected more than s2,40O,O00 protection money in a year, according to Rose, but his information in regard to the three of ficials other than Becker, was based, he said, upon what Becker had told him Today "Bridgie" Webber sent word to the prosecutor he was pre- pared to corroborate everything Rose had said in regard to gambling graft. He also said he himself acted as col lector for one official involved.
 The district attorney, however, does not expect to press the graft feature before the grand jury until he has presented all the evidence bearing upon the murder of Rosenthal. To. morrow he expects to take before the jury twenty witnesses. upon whose testimony he hopes to secure the in iictment of Lefty Louie, "Gyp the Blood 'Dago Frank" Cirofici and
 N hitey" Lewis
 Most of these witnesses are eiti- zens who either saw the murder or were on the scene soon after 1t oc- cured and who. the district attorney is confident. will be able positively to identify the men who fired the shots
 District Attorney Whitman's confi- dence that he has a strong case against Becker was evidenced today when he announced in court he had ten witnesses who would corroborate Jack Roses charge that the police official was the impelling. spirit be- hind the murder The statement was made by the prosecutor in opposing g motion to quash Becker's indict- ment. ~Judge Mulqueen reserved de- cision and by agreement the pleading of Becker was adjourned until after the raling is handed down, which probably will be next week.
