HiACCUSED v CONSTABLE 'But Choate's Plea Is Rejected (From "N.Z. Truth's" Ashburton Rep.) ;• "With the- airy of a millionaire, . .Frank .Choate, artist and advertising agent, appeared before Mr. Orr-Walker, -S.M., at Ashburton, charged with, being found on pre- : 'mises that, it was alleged, were being used for; the purpose of illegally .dealing m liquor. pLEADING not guilty, Choate said he 1 ■ ■ had gone to the Jiut, which, by the way, was known as the "Marble Bar," to tell Bob Stock that a letter was awaiting him at a certain office m town. The letter had since been produced and' had been handed to Stock. . Choate accused Constable J.'"E. R. Myers. -with having adopted bluff. Addressing the .constable, Choate said: "Did you not, m Constable Round's presence — and I want a straight-out answer-i-threaten me and say: "Look here, Choate, if you don't help the police I'll get you'?" Constable Myers: No, I did not. Choate: Well, all 1 can say is that your memory has Vplayed you a trick, and that you are not telling the truth. The Magistrate: I will decide that afterwards. . Senior-sergeant H. Martin (to the constable) : Did you threaten Choate? Constable r Myers: I had no need to. ■ In.the' witness-box, Choate stated that Stock had been fitting up an office for him, and while he (witness) was at the hut referred to, the police arrived. He did not go to purchase liquor and did not ask for liquor. ' Mr. Orf-Wjalker did not believe Choate's story, and fined him £2 with, costs, y British Gokma f^yflk Golds vS^A checked tvw without "dosing" Like millions of parents aU over the world, Mr.- Hugh C. Bascom of George- , town, British Guiana, just "rubs away? ' children's colds. He says: "I have tried Vicks Vapoßub on my youngest son for severe colds m the head and chest, and obtained very satisfying results. I cannot speak too highly of it." Children's colds must not be neglected, but too much "dosing" may injure young digestions — even for life. Mr. Bascom avoids both dangers by treating all colds externally with Vicks. Rubbed on. the throat and chest, Vicks acts m two ways (absorbed and inhaled). Most colds improve by morning—adults', of course, as well as children's. Price 2/6, at all chemists.
