In the mind Of the beginner, says

A MISTAKEN IDEA

There are some people who still resort
to drugged pills or alcoholic syrups to
overcome colds, nervousness or general
debility, and who know that the pure,
unaduiterated nourishment in Scott's
Emulsion is eminently better, but refrain
from taking it because they fear it may
lead to excessive fat Co obesity.
This is a mistaken idea, because SCOTS
Emulsion first strengthened the bodybefore
making flesh. yts blood forming proper
ties aid nature to throw off sickness by
building health from its very source, and
flesh is formed only by its continued use.
Avoid alcoholic substitutes for SCOTS.

JAIL BY SHERIFF FRIZZELL.

Harry Poole, aged about 2S years,
residing at Long Corner, Howard

ference by his "in-laws" in his affairs,

him i'm the Jail. A fair or picnic was
held Saturday, at Wildwood Park,
near Mt. Airy. From reports Poole
began to imbibe freely early in the
day and his wife and mother-in-law
demonstrated with him. This anger
ed him greatly, but toward evening,
when his father-in-law, Charles Green,
took him to task, patience and for
bearance ceased to BE- "a virtue with
Poole and he drew knife and began
slashing. Green's lip was cut through
to his teeth, one nostrel slashed and
he was otherwise cut about the face.
The mother-in-law, who rushed in,
received two cuts in one arm. Con-
stable Lawrence Green, nephew Of
Charles Green, rushed forward 20 -
rest Poole, and he was cut about the
thigh, in the chin and he has two
inch cash over the heart.
Eight or ten men finally over
powered Poole, and he was taken to
the Mt. Airy lookup. Later Deputy
Sheriff Frizell, Of Frederick county
brought Poole to this city on the same
night and lodged him In jail for a
hearing.
Constable Green would not submit
to medical attention until he saw
Poole in the lookup, after which he
tainted from the loss of blood.
