 Margo vitalizes your tired, over worked nerves into nerves of steel, charging them with powers of tre- mendous endurance and reserve ener- gy and does it without a single dan gerous drug. Margo is a scientific combination of six of the most power ful and effective yet absolutely harm less nerve stimuIants known to chem istry and @ months systematic use should completely transform the worst nervous wreck into a strong, healthy, vigorous man or woman.
 Margo really does more good in the average case of nerves" than a months vacation because it not only rests the nerves but puts new snap and ginger and courage into your entire body.
 Margo must accomplish these things or it's cost is nothing. Clark & Brain erd and other leading druggist in New Britain sell it with this absolute guarantee, positively agreeing to re- fund the price paid to any patron who fails to derive great benefit from 60 days faithful use

ARRAIGN DRUGGISTS FOR SUNDAY SELLING
Youth Says Snake Showed Him
 Where Bicycle Was Hidden

Aaron E. Almquist, president and treasurer of the Miller-Hanson Drug company at 30 Church street, and John H. Stoddard, employed as a druggist at O'DelPs drug store at the corner of Park and Bigelow streets, were arraigned before Judge John H. Kirkham in police court this morn ing on charges of selling liquor on Sunday without a prescription. Both men pleaded not guilty and their cases were continued until one week from today. Judge B. F. Gaffney represents Almquist and Lawyer Henry P. Roche apeared for Stod- dard. Liquor Prosecutor B. w. AL ling prosecuted.
 Follows Snake-F1nds Bicycle
 By far the most unique story told the court in a long time was born in the fertile brain of John Wapura, 16 years old, this morning and hurled at the unsuspecting officials before they could become prepared. Wapura was charged with stealing a bicycle owned by one of the Western Union Mes senger boys and was arrested by Off, cer Fred Wagner yesterday afternoon. Various bicycle dealers had been fur nished with descriptions of stolen bicycles and a phone call was sent in from Monier's store saying that a boy was. trying to sell a bicycle there. Officer Wagner found Wapura and the latter told him he had bought the bicycle in Hartford two months ago for $25 and wanted to sell it because it was "broken." At police headquar- ters he changed his story and said he found it at the circIS grounds This morning his fertile brain bethought another wild yarn and with all indi- cations of telling the truth he in formed Judge Kirkham that he was walking down Arch street when he ''saw a snake, you see" He said the snake ran away and he followed the reptile, which finally wriggled it's waN into the bushes beside the road near the circus ground and disclosed to him "a bicycle hidden in the shrub bery, you see." The court continued the case until tomorrow in charge of the probation officer.

COMMISSIONER WILL TABOO OEQU|NE STUNT
Police Cannot Ride Horses in Big
 Swedish Parade Thursday

E. G. Babcock, chairman of the board of public safety, announced emphatically this morning that if, as chairman of the safety board, he has any authority he will strictly prohibit a platoon of policemen from partici- pating in the Swedish singers parade Thursday morning mounted on horses. At a meeting of the committees last night it was planned to have Officer Theodore Johnson, as marshal, lead a squad of a dozen blue coats on horses at the head of the parade. Chair man Babcock does not object to the police participating in the prade. It is the equines he objects to.
 Would Embarass Policemen.
 In the words of the safety commits sioner. I'm not going to have our policemen made monkeys of by hav- ing them ride horses when they are not. accustomed to it. We have a fine body of men but unfamiliar with horseback riding and they would look awkward. There would also be the danger of their being injured and all of them would certainly be very lame and tired for a week after their ex- perience."
 Line of March Changed.
 The committee in charge of the con- Ventlon changed the line of march. Orlglnally, it was planned to have the finish at Walnut Hill park, where a group picture was to be taken, but the photo will be taken in front of the Swedish Lutheran church on Frank lin Square. The revised route is as follows: Turner Hall on Arch street to Main, Main to corner of East Main, counter march to Franklin Square, where the picture will be taken and cOuntermarch to Main street to Fox S theater, West Main street, where re- hearsals will be in order.
