liquor Plenty for
.awbreakers Declares
New York Judge

New York, May 13.-Saloons in
this city are running full blast, pro-
viding iawbreakers with abundant
liquors of the very worst kind" be-
cause of lax enforcement of prohi-
bition, Judge Charles c. Mott de-
clared today in General Sess; ors
court, in imposing sentence of seven
to IA years on Frank Murray. who
pleaded guilty to first degree man
slaughter
Declaring crime was on the in
crease. Judge Mott SAID he had
drawn his conclusions from testi-
mony in several murder trials before
him.
Honest and law-abiding citizens"
he said, who knew when to drink
and when not to drink. are deprived
of their refreshment while the crook
and ordinary law breaker gets as
much as he wants and considerably
more. That Is not just.
Crime would be decreased and
there is no doubt of it in my mind,
if those charged with the enforce
ment Of the prohibition law did their
duty"

FREckLES
Now Is the Time to Get Rid of These
Ugly Spots

There's no longer the slightest
need of feeling ashamed of your
freckles, as Othine--double strength
is guaranteed to remove these
homely spots.
Simply get an ounce of Othine-
double strength-from any druggist
and apply a little of it night and
morning and you should soon see
that even the worst freckles have
begun to disappear, While the lighter
ones have vanished entirely. 1t is
seldom that more than an ounce is
needed to completely clear the skin
and gain beautiful clear COM
plexion.
Be sure to ask for the double
strength Othine as this is sold under
guarantee of money back if it fails
to remove freckles.-Adv.
