BRIGHTER CHILDREN

Children are probably brighterto-day
than a generation ago-but are they
stronger9 That's grave question.
So many pinched faces, dulled eyes
and languid feelings make US wonder
if they will ever grow into robust,
healthy men and women.
IF your children catch colds easily,
are tired when rising, lack healthy
color, or find studies difficult, give
them SCOTS Emulsion for one month
to enrich their blood and restore the
body-forces to healthy action.
SCOTS Emulsion is used in private
schools. Its NOT a 'spatent medicine,
simply highly concentrated oil-food,
without alcohol or harmful drugs. It
cannot harm; it improves blood; It bene-
fits lungs and strengthens the system.
Your druggist has it-refuse substitutes.

When the criminal superior court
came in here at 1920 on Thursday
morning, the first matter called UP by
State Attorney Hull was a motion
for sentence in the case of Thomas
Logis of Norwich Town, who on We'd
nesday was found guilty of assault
with intent to kill William Gitchier
at Norwich Town on Nov. 20 last.
Attorney Edward T. Burke made q
plea before Judge William L Ben sen.
was to be given. The accused, he
argued, had shot Gitchier in self de-
Tense as he supposed he had right
to do. The man had been faithful
worker for nine years in mill ana
supports a wife and three, children in
Austria.
State Attorney Hull said that as
the accused shot a man in the back
as the man was running away he
could see no reason why ciemency
should be shown.
Judge Bennett stated in pronounce
ing sentence that the court did not
care to listen to pleas for leniency
when pistols were used. He would be
glad to send the man 70 Jail. but he
thought the using of pistol was such
a serious offense that this ought not
to be the penalty. He thought the
accused had been dealt 1eniently with
when the jury found him guilty of
assault with intent to kill and not
kill and murder as charged against
him in the trial.
Judge Bennett made the sentence
for Logis from one to three years in
state prison.
The court took a recess until 1910,
when Judge Bennett excused the jury
till next Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock
telling them that as some of the i'm
portant witnesses in cases are sick
there would be no trials on Thursday
or Friday.

that he had been given the right to

Attorney Hewitt, who appeared for
Caswell, addressed the court. stating
that the accused could not be found
more than technically guilty and
urged leniency. Caswell was sentenced
