1 charges which she preferred against her brother, Burton S. Griffin. her allegations impressing the court that there was probable cause for holding her as we'll as the other defendant for trial.
 The states case was presented by Attorney J. T. Mather of Bristol. act ing with Grand Juror S. S. GwiIlim. The alleged offenses, she testified, were committed between Junt 20 and August l last. Under cross examina- ton by Attorney P. F. McDonough. counsel for her brother, the woman denied having improper relations with ether men. Other witnesses for the state were her sister, Mrs. Carl Roper and Mrs. Fred Roper, with whom she lives. Both told of Mrs Gum in forming them of her condition and of making accusations against her brother. One of them declared that Griffin had offered her money to leave town before his arrest.

 CriticiSeS Police.
 Frederick Cook, who reported to the medical examiner the finding of the body of an abandoned child in the woods near the Corbin bungalow on the Sunset Rock road Sunday, de- c1ares that people living in that sec tion are indignant over the failure of the authorities to show an inclination to investigate the case or to make any effort to round up the parties re- sponsible for the crime.
 MT. Cook declares that the police have not tried to get any evidence in the case and have not even interviewed parties who could furnish reasona ble clews
 The finding of the body he attrib- utes to the suspicion of his wife and daughter entertained as the result of the strange actions of a young woman who passed their house on the way up the mountain road about noon Satur- day. Owing to the fact that there are no other houses for a considerable dis. tance beyond the Cook residence. the appearance of the strange woman at tracted their attention.
 She wore a long blue cloak. he said, and was particularly noticeable owing to a white tasseled corduroy hat and an excessively large white huff. He believes the police could have traced

WHAT CAUSES COLDS?

Ih1s question IS asked every day. A cold is really a fever, not always caused by the weather but often due to disordered blood or lack of important food-elements., In changing seasons fat-foods are essential because they distribute heat by enriching the blood and so render the. system better able to withstand the varying elements. This is the important reason why Scott's Emulsion should always be taken for colds, and it does more builds strength to prevent sickness.
 Scott's Emulsion contains Natures rare strength building fats, so skillfully blended that the blood profits from every drop. It is free from harmful drugs or alcohol. Sold at drug stores always get the genuine.

The committee was unable to announce the complete pro- gram this morning but feels certain everyone present will be pleased.
 To Use Electricity.
 T In order not to be under the in- f1uence of Natures whims, the local brick manufacturers have decided to depend more on man, so electricity will be used more than formerly in the drying process and as fuel to the machinery. Work was started this morning by a gang of men employed by the United Electric Light and Water company in placing poles, which, when completed will hold wires to carry 11,O00 volt currents 10 the yards. The line will run to Merwin's from the Beech Swamp road, thence to Tal1ard's to Carbo's and then up Christian Lane to the Holmes and Styles & Reynolds yards.

MACHINERY DUE IN 50 DAYS

 Badly Burned - Congregational
 Night-EIectric co. InstaIIs Wires.

The principal topic of discussion about town for the past few days is how soon the Monarch Stitch Tire @C ompany intends to open its new plant at the old Hartford Burial Case Company's factory. Two sides are Icing taken by citizens, some claim Ing the industry will be a, great aid to tfTe town, while others say the whole affair is a prom otor's scheme. When the news was received in town a few days ago that the Tire concern had purchased the property, there was general rejoicing. From a record re- ceived at the town clerks office it develops that the transfer was not raade outright. According to the document the Monarch Stitch Tire company has paid the Hartford Burial Case company s2,000, which will be applied on the s22,000, the price of the sale. The deeds of the property will be turned over to the former concern 'on or before two years after February 2, 1916," when the remain Ing payment of $2O,00O is made. Those who are inclined to think the matter is a promoters scheme, claim that the fact that the option has two years to run, Is a justification of their claim. When the sale was reported 1t was said the company would begin installing machinery in about sixty days. Whether this will be done or not remains to be seen.
 Child Badly Burned.
 Mary, the two years old child of f1r and Mrs. Blaze Rebese of Ginger bread lane, was severely burned about the back and neck Wednesday Ltternoon when she fell into a pot containing a hot mixture of bran n'ash. Mrs. Rebese had just com pleted the mash and was about to leaVe the house to give it to the stock, when two of the smaller chil- dFSn tried to gain admittance to tho mousse They were unable to open the door so Mrs. Rebese placed the pot on the floor to admit them Hardly had she. turned her ba"~ --''cn she heard little Mary scream ~--1 found the infant laying on her bar!7 in the mash.

There is more Catarrh in this section of the
country than all other diseases put together
and until the last few years was supposed to
be incurable. For great many years doctors
pronounced it local disease and prescribed
local remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced it in
curaIle. Science has proven Catarrh to be
constitutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure
manufactured by F. j. Cheney & Co, Toledo

market. 1t is taken internally in doses from
10 drops to a tcaspoonrul. 1t acts directly on

Offers Mile OF Trees

The State Forester of Maryland, F.
w. Besley has just announced very
novel plan whereby any lover of shade
trees with a roadway in need of them
has only to apply to the Board of For
estry, at its Howard street office, to
have their needs supplied.
About three years ago the Board
established State Nursery at College
Park. and much of the stock then
planted there now being of shade tree
size, it will be possible for one person
or civic organization in every county
Of the State to secure enough red oak
OF white ash trees to properly plant
one mile of public roadway beside his
own and his neighbors' homes. Fur
Their, the $50 shaded trees needed for
the work will not nolybe supplied free
OF any cost save transportation from
the nursery, but the expert direction
of a Forester from the Office of the
Board will be available in setting ou;
the trees IN proper manner.
Once before. according to Mr.. Bes-
ley. this offer was made, and immed-
lately accepted by the citizens or pub
lic-spirited civic bodies of many of the
counties. The trees lived. and the
rural highways are losing their APP
pearance of barrenness and unattrac-
tiveness, and taking on better, much
more finished look, so that the plant
ers feel the small expense involved
was more than justified. The offer
now made will hold during the season
Of planting. That should be about one
more month this fall, and dwellers in
the country or in communities where
lack of trees detracts from other
things should do their part at once.

Turkey An "Idjut'

Housewives contemplating the an
, nual Thanksgiving dinner little realize
the months of preparation which pre-
coded the feast. Their cranberries
are on the market. Turkeys, drssed
and ready for the oven; huge yellow
pumpkins, with the earth still clinging
to their gaudy sides; oranges, apples,
grapes and nuts all await the call of
the epicure.
A trip to market gives the layman
an insight into the real business of
Thanksgiving, and incidentally guam
titv of rural folk lore which is illu-
mInating. Wandering around the
wagons which line the sidewalks of the
market space a reporter the other day
came upon an old resident of Virginia
"a man with whiskers and a magnifi-
cent Guild of tobacco and a small sup
ply of turkeys the last named alive
and protesting vigorously against the
confinement of their crates.
After little preliminary converse
ton the old farmer dilated upon the
WAYS of the great American fete bird
pedestal upon which the fowl is placed
squarely from under it's feet.
Biggest fool bird in the world" he
confided to the reporter. ''They amt
nothin' in the world that I've ever
found that's as big an idjut as tur-
key"
an what way?" was asked.
an every. way" replied the farmer.
81 believe that the words mot sense
enough to come in out of the rain was
written to describe a turkey. Did
you ever know. for instance, that a
TURKEY can drown itself during rain
Storm"
What" calculated the reporter.
Fact, said the farmer. "Them
there birds hold up their heads during
a rainstorm exactly as if they was
trying to swallow the whole creation.
Naturally they can't drink the entire
output, And I tell you as a fact. that
I've found cases where they managed
to drown themselves"
Continuing on the peculiarities of
the bird. the old man said:
They're helpless critters, too. Amt
got as much gumption about them as
a chicken. And frail-let me tell you,
young man, that a turkey is the great
est natural-born Invalid in the world
They have to be watched every minute
OF the first thing you know they'll up
and die on you without seconds
warning.
Il been raisin' turkeys for years
and years-had good luck with 'em,
too. But ! reckon | don't understand
more than half about them. Nobody
does-particularly why the Creator,
when he made 'em, didn't give 'em
minds"
Does that apply to wild turkeys as
well as the tame ones?" asked the re-
porter.
The old man spat thoughtfully and
profusely at a chip of wood in the
street He hit the mark.
Gas to that" he said. 81 can't exact
~ say. "Mebbe there's something in
the idea that a turkey, when he's
tame. gets so used to havin' folks
make fuss over him that he Jest nat
ural!y loses all his ambition. There's
one thing certain-if every wild tur-
key was as big a fool as some that Pve
raised there wouldn't be a live wild
turkey in the United States within a
year" Washington Star.
