Two years in the chaingang and 60 days in the city stockade is the sen tence faced to-day by Earl Zuber. a youthful soda vender, of Carey Park, who broke a pop bottle over a fan’s head at Ponce rfeLenn Thursday, and Friday afternoon pounded Policeman Georg© Cornett in the crowded court room beta use he didn’t like the sen tence Recorder Broyles had imposed on him. Zuber. with 60 days on the city w ork« given him by the Recorder a? a result of his tw’o offenses, was ar raigned before Judge A. Calhoun In City Criminal Court on two charges of assault and battefiy ahd wAs given $160 fine or a year .lh each case. "You seem to be out after a reputa tion aa bad man early in life, Zu ber,'’ said Judge Calhoun, as he im posed sentence. “From the testimony here, I would consider you a menace to societj'.” The youth, still a little defiant in. his attitude received the court’s words calmly and intimated that he would have to serve his time, as he was without funds to pay the fine. According to the testimony given at the Recorder’s court, Zuber, peeved because Charles Promenenschkle. n fan. did not move quickly enough when the boy tried to climb through the bleachers, struck him on the head with ,a bottle, cutting him reverely.

A Small Dose on Retiring and You Are Well and Happy by Morning. It is only natural that the sim plest of ailments should be the mo9t general, and so we have a whole nation suffering from con stipation and indigestion, for they are closely allied. But common as constipation is many people do not seem to know they have It. They will complain of headache, drowsi ness or biliousness, all unconscious of the cause of the trouble. You should have a full and fre® movement at least once a day. If you pass a day you are constipated, and the result will be that you will catch a cold easily or have a more serious ailment. To cure the constipation and forestall still graver trouble take a dose of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin at night before retiring and by morning re lief will come, without disturbance from slfep or any inconvenience. Legions of people use it regular ly in such emergencies, some of them formerly chronic invalids who have suffered from constipation all their lives. Mr. A. B. Danner, 32G Riley St.. Harrisburg, Pa., says: “Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin gave me almost instant relief from stom ach and bowel trouble. T now eat anything I want and sleep well.” Many others will tell you that they have tried most things recommend ed for this purpose but have found Syrup Pepsin the only one. always reliable. A bottle can be obtained at any drug store for fifty cents or one dollar, the latter size being J MR. A. B. DANNER. bought by families already familiar ^ witli Us merits. Syrup Pepsin is mild, pleasant- [ tasting and non-griping. Mothers v give it to tiny infants, and yet*jt ( is effective in grownups. It is tqr < everyone who suffers from any J form of stomach, liver or bowel trouble,, constipation, dvspepsla. ! biliousness, etc. Its action will so delight you that you will forever avoid harsh cathartics, purgatives, . pills and salts. { If no member of your family has ever used Syrup Pepsin and you would like to make a personal trial of it before buying it in the regu- J la: way of a druggist, send your address—a postal will do*—to Dr. [ W.
