Truth in businessisjust as important
as truth in everyday life; truth creates
confidence. establishes goodwill and
builds reliability that will not be
wrecked by the storms of competition.
Through three generations people
have learned to place reliance on the
advertised words Of SCOTS Emulsion,
because they are untarnished, unex-
aggerated truisms about a household
remedy of real and actual worth.
The popularity Of SCOTS Emulsion
is increasing as intelligence advances,
because in these days of authorizations
it continues to guarantee pure cod liver oil

hypophosphites to build strength, i'm

POSSESSION CA Sc
CONTINUED FOR WEEK

William Faulkner was arraigned Fri
day morning before Judge Atkins on a
warrant charging him with Illegal pos
session Ernest ". Goodspeed appeared
for the defendant while the State was
not represented By counsel. The case
was continued for one week and Faulkner
placed under s2oQ on his own recogni-
zance.
Deputy Sherffs Lewis. Nash Rice and
Pomeleau testified as TO the search which
occupied about two and one-half hours,
Of the uncovering of about 10 hides that
contained nothing except two bags OF
cork shoppers. ard finally Of the discov-
cry of a faucet, concealed in match box
on a door casing From this faucet the
evidence presented was secured. 1t was
about one-half pint of a light amber col
ored fluid. The faucet seemed some
what erratic in its delivery, flowing free
ly at first but soon stopping TO mere
dripping as if the pipe We're somewhat
clogged. Following the pipe connected
with the faucet the officers unearthed a
large copper tank which would apparent
~ hold about 80 gallons.
The liquid was drawn into glass from
the faucet and two Of the officers testi-
fed that it was alcohol and water, COM
monty known as split" lis color gave
it the appearance Of having been in the
tank for n long time. No evidence OF
men drinking anything but soft beer was
testified to.
The defense introduced no evidence
simply claiming that no evidence HAD
been introduced 10 show that the liquid
offered as evidence was intoxicating OF
that it was intended for illegal sale.
In continuing the case, Judge Atkins
suggested that the remainder Of the
LIQUID be drawn from the tank and that
il. together with the amount offered as
evidence in the bottle, be ananyzed pre-
vious to the case being again before the
court.
