MORSE CASE CONTINUED.
Accused Again Brought Into Superior
 Court on a Stretcher.

When the criminal superior court opened here Saturday at 10 o'clock, having been adjourned from last Mon day, when the accused was brought to court from the Backus hospital on stretcher, Marion Morse was brought into the court room on the stretcher again where, surrounded by several friends, she listened to the proceed ings.
 Attorney Comstock for the accused applied to the court for a continu- ance of the case until Dec. 28 when he said his client would be able to stand trial. State Attorney Hull strenuously opposed the postpone ment, saying that the case ought to be settled at once.
 Dr. Gildersleeve, the physician who sis attending the Morse woman was called and asked to explain the oper- ations which she recently underwent, and to tell of her condition. He stat ed that while Shis patient could not stand on her feet, she might be able to sit up. This he could not state pos itively as there was no way of telling whether person can sit up or not
 The physician asserted that the sec ond operation, which was for ingrow- ing toenail, the first having been for hemorrhOids was not necessary.
 Attorney ComstOck disclaimed any attempt to place any undue obstacles III C4AS way OL pISNSI1LIIS LA0 lT1ai Judge Gardiner Greene stated that he did not accuse the attorney of any such attempts. Judge Greene did say, how ever, that he considered that the operations were intended to trifce with the court and that they were a subter- fuge. He announced that the case ought to be tried just as soon as pos sible-
 Attorney Comstocq promised that he would do all in his power to have the case tried immediately and that he would give it his personal attention.
 An additional court of keeping o woman for purposes of prostitution was made to the original complaint to which the accused pleaded not gfuity. The case was then continued until next Saturday.
 Her attorney, MT. Comstock, had been in Maine on a hunting trip, but was summoned from there by a tele- gram Thursday, which was sent him stating that the trial of the Morse case was to come up on Saturday.

WINNING OUT.
Earnest Address by Rev. G. H. Strouse
 &o Men at Y. M. C. A.

The parlors at the local Y. NJ. c, A. were filled Sunday for the mems meet ing at 3.30 when Swahn's orchestra furnished fine music and Rev, G, H. Strouse of the First Baptist church delivered an address which will long be remembered.
 The topic was Winning Out, and in a very impressive way the speaker illustrated how every man could be a victor in the battle of life. Rev, MT. Strouse said that the one thing Jesus wanted of men was that they should give him the rightfu1 place in their lives; that Christ could use every man and if only men will submit to his polishing process he would make out of them diamonds for his glory, The only way to win out, he said, is to be linked with Jesus Christ, and every one who enthroned him is bound to be a winner,
 With great earnestness the speaker urged the men to get a new grip on the Master and thereby help to move this old world up to God
 Secretary Hill had charge of the service, and President James L. Case led the singing, A feature of the ser vice was the hearty singing of the popular hymns

F RAIL. WEAKLY CHILD
Made Strong by vinoI.

So many cases like this are coming to our attention for the benefit of fathers and mothers of weak. sickly, ailing children in this vicinity we publish the following letter:
 Mrs. J. P. Weatherford, Litchfield, H., says We have had an invalid child for the past nine years and un- til we began using Vinol. we some times thought there was little hope for him. He would have terrible coughing spells at night, and they would leave him so exhausted. We tried everything, but to no avail. At last some one suggested that we try Vinol and we noticed a change in him from the very first. The cough ing spells ceased and he gained in strength right along. We would not be without it and would advise par ents who have frail and weakly chil- dren to try VinoL"
 This is. because the child needed the strengthening cod liver elements and the tonic iron that Vinol con tains. No oil. delicious taste. Chill dren love it. We give back your money if Vinol does not benefit. Broadway Pharmacy, G. G. Engler, Norwich, Conn.
 P. s. For rough, scaly skin, try our Saxo Salve. We guarantee it.
