Hubbell of this place, who appeared before Justice E. P. Prior last evening to answer to the charge of non-support. Hub- bell was unable to provide the curity last evening and at his request the court gave him untll Saturday to get the required amount. Hubbell was arrested on complaint of his wife, Deputy Sheriff W. C. Hart taking him into custody. For over a year the couple have not been liv- ing together although, it is sald, the relations between them have not been unfriendly. Hubbell stays with his mother while his wife makes her home with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Barrows. who are now residing in New Britain. At the time of the separation, ac- cording to the testimony presented in court last evening, Hubbell agreed to pay at least $4 a week towards the support of his wife and child. He promised to make the allowance $5 whenever his financial condition war- ranted. Mrs. Hubbell explained that at not time did the average payments exceed $3 a week, and even then pay- ment was not made until Hubbell had been threatened with arrest on sev- eral occasions. During the past five weeks. all she recefved from him was $7.50, she told the court. After a warrant had been issued yesterday, Hubbell sent her $4. Testifying in his own behalf Hubbell told the court that he was willing to support both his wife and child but on account of hard times he couldn't contribute as much as he would like to. Justice Prior was in- formed that at C. H. Calor's factory, where he is employved, Huhbell gets 25 cents an hour.

Tt's truly astonishing how quickly it loosens the dry, hoarse or tight cough and heals and goothes the inflamed mem- branes in the case of a painful cough. It also stops the formation of phlegm in the throat and bronchial tubes, thus end-| ing the persistent loose cough. | Pinex is a highly concentrated com-| pvound of genuine Norway pine extract,| combined with guaiacol, and has been| used for generations to heal inflamed | membranes of the throat and chest. To avoid disappointment, ask your druggist for “215 ounces of Pinex,” and don’t accept anything else. A guarantee of absolute satisfaction, or money prompt- ly refunded, goes with this preparation.
