BERT STOLL'S HEAVY SENTENCE

FOR ALLOWING LIQUOR SOLD IN HIS HOTEL

Sixty Days in Jail and $200 Fine or Further Imprisonment for Six Months

Bert Stoll, the Stockbridge hotel keeper, formerly of Ann Arbor, has received a very heavy sentence on the charge of selling liquor without a license. He claimed that an employee had sold it without his knowledge, but finally plead guilty. Judge Wiest imposed a fine of $200 and costs together with 60 days in the county jail, and if the fine is not paid an additional imprisonment of six months in the jail. In imposing the fine Judge Wiest said it was a sentence which ought to speak for itself to any who might contemplate violating the liquor law in the future. In other words the judge made an example of Stoll.

IT'S THE TRUTH

Tell a man it's a food and he doesn't want to pay for it. Tell him it's a medicine and he says it doesn't look like it. Then tell him it's both a food and a medicine and he thinks you're playing some game on him.

Yet these are the facts about Scott's Emulsion of pure codliver oil. It is the cream of cod-liver oil, the richest and most digestible of foods. The food for weak stomachs. The food for thin bodies and thin blood.

But that's only half the story. Scott's Emulsion is also a good medicine. It gives new life and vigor to the whole system and especially to the lungs.

We'll send you a little to try, if you like.

SCOTT & BROWNE, 409 Pearl street, New York.
