COUNTIES BARRED
 ON MINOR FELON|ES
Cannot Receive Remunera- ton From Those Sentenced
 to Indeterminate Terms
By FRED H. GORMLEY
 Montgomery Bureau The Age Herald 22I-2 First National Bank BuiidiH

Montgomery, June 5.-(Special) )-Coun- ties cannot receive remuneration from persons convicted of minor felonies and sentenced to indeterminate terms by the trial judges as a result of the enactment of the indeterminate sentence law in 1913. under a decision of the court of appeals Tuesday afternoon.
 The court held that the indeterminate sentence law makes no provision for the sentencing of persons to indeterminate terms at hard labor by the trial judges after the jury has returned verdicts ot guilty but failed to assess the punish ment. The ruling was made in the case of Clifford Fox vs. the state, which came from the Etowah circuit cours.
 Fox was convicted of grand larceny, but the jury did not fix the punishment The trial judge imposed a sentence of one year and one day at hard labor, with ad- ditional time for costs.
 The court of appeals affirmed the yer dict of guilty. but reversed the court Ill imposing the sentenced and ordered that Fox be given an indeterminate sentence in the penitentiary.
 In another interesting case the court of appeals reversed the Autauga circuit court in convicting Andrew Mills of mah- ing liquor. The court not only ruled that there was not sufficient evidence to coll Vict Mills but that not enough evidence was furnished by the state to show that the offense had even been committed Evidence showed that two witnesses for the state found in Mills home lard can of sixteen gallons capacity, that it had the odor of beer and mash and that par ticles of mash were found on the side or the can. He used the can in mixing hog feed.

BULLDOG GUARDS STORE

The presence of a bulldog in the store of Dorman Fulton, Dartmouth avenue and Twenty fifth street, saved the store from being rfled Monday night and caused the death of John Tankles, negro, alleged burglar at the hands of Chief of Police Thomas.

 On Monday night it is thought that the lock to the rear door was broken by the burglars and upon finding the dog they hid until he. disappeared when they went back into the store The dog, in the meantime, went to the Fulton home nearby and aroused MT Fulton. who called Chief of Police Ross Thomas, and together they went to the store, from which place the men were just emerging with the cash reg ister Thomas opened fire, striking Tankles twice, the bullets passing through his body. Another man, who was with Tankles, succeeded in getting away, but the prompt appearance of Thomas, who lives close by, prevented the loss of any merchandise. Tankles Is said to have been from Birmingham.

Money Is Useless
When You Have Bad
Health.

The pleasures of life are denied those
who suffer with rheumatism, scrofula,
erysipelas, eruptive skin and other dis
eases caused by an impure state of the
blood. Even though you seek enjoy
ment in the many ways possible to your
station of life, your aches and pains
will not permit you the measure of hap
piness to which you are entitled. You
are necessarily miserable and discour-
aged, and when your morbid condition
becomes known your friends and ac-
quaintances will sometimes avoid YOU
Your success, your happiness, all de-
pend on what you get out OF out of life
Your health and strength therefore de-
pend on pure, rich blood
As purifier of the blood, modern med
icine offers no remedy of greater value
than Prescription C-222S. This treat
ment stands above all other remedies
as an Alternative of great power 1t
changes disease conditions into condi-
tons of health.
If you suffering from any troubles
caused by impure blood, or if you fear
that the poisons have never been 5elini-
mated from your blood YOU should begin
now and take Prescription C-2223
To stimulate the liver and regulate
the bowels a mild cathartic is necessary.
There is nothing better than 1928 Liver
