success in the treatment of this dis
ease. One application of Pain Balm
will relieve the pain. and hundreds
of sufferers have testified to perman-

of the policy. Questioned further to
explain what he meant he again re-
fused to discuss the question
Chairman Armstrong then said ne
did not think Mr.. MeCurdy compre-
hended the scope of the committee and
that if the committee desired his judg-
ment OF the insurance business the
witness should be glad to give it.
Mr.. McCurdy again proIered his
actuary to furnish the information
desired He protested so strongly
against the manner in which the in
vestigation was being conducted that
Chairman Armstrong asked how he
would conduct it.
Il don't knew. I don't inpugn the
motives of this COMMITTEES of which
you are the worthy chairman
If there is a better way OF conduct
ing this investigation, Ar. McCurdyy :
said Chairman Armstrong, 1--WE would
be most happy to learn it.
Trying to Ruin Him.
Senator Tully asked the witness If he
thought the committee was too
thorough in the investigation and the
witness replied that he did not. Mr..
MeCurdy said he thought that put
ting a witness under Oatu and making
him feel that he is on the rack he is
apt to produce incorrect answers. His
answers, he said, were published in a
distorted manner that looked like an
attempt to ruin him.
why shouldn't q witness shut his
mouth up" he continued, when q
witness comes here and tells frankly
all he knows the committee should
consider such testimony in executive
session to see what further steps
should be taken; but to attempt
to drag from a witness anything fur
Their than he knows makes him look
like a criminal"
Recurring to the question of reduc-
ton of dividends, witness again de-
clined to give a direct answer.
Figures don't lie, but liars can fig
ure, was Mr.. McCurdy's reply after
Mr. Hughes had read a long list of
policy mum bers, with the amount they
were taken out for the amount paid
in and the dividends received by the
poltcyholder. Mr.. McCurd-- continued:
You have a right to get your case
in in your own way, Mr.. Hughes. I
have not followed the figures. There
are too many for anybody to follow. L
have no doubt that all those state
ments and figures can be explained by
the proper persons I do not attribute
any lie to anybody, I say it facetious-
""
We'll, let's see what you do to re-
duce expenses of your company. Do
you reduce salaries?'' said Mr.. Hughes.
Wei. 'er" - here there was
great laughter.
You're entitled to that laugh" ne
said. Let me see how can I answer
that
Mr. Hughes then brought out that
salaries had been slightly reduced in
the reforms Of clerical force and gen
eral agencies.
Il have not reduced the salaries of
the executive officers, they were never
cut They were none too fat anyway, 3"
said Mr.. McCurdy.
