ing Preferable
There is no cure for an itching
palm-the money kind Even poslam
the new skin discovery, cannot help
it. But when it comes to eczema,
the most annoying of itching skin
troubles, poslam will stop the itching
at once and cure the worst cases in a
few days. So with hives, rash, scab-
les, split toes, piles, and scaly scalp,
all of which are different forms of &C.
zema, accompanied by severe itching
and caused by imperfect digestion
and careless diet.
Poslam comes in two dollar jars but
fifty cents WORTH will answer in cur
ing any of the diseases mentioned. 1t
can be had of any druggist. VIM. l..
Gokay, makes a speciality of it.
That results arc immediate will be
amply demonstrated overnight by the
use of the experimental sample which
the Emergency Laboratories, 80 West

HANDSOME CLERK
NEGLECTS FAMILY
Pays Wife Twenty-Five Cents
Weekly to Do His Washing,
but Fails to Provide

OAKLAND, Aug. 24.-Glad to do her
husbands washing for % cents a week,
while he paid her $3.50 a week for a
room like a common roomer, Mrs. Lii
liam Childs asked a warrant today for
the arrest of Handsome Harry f.
Childs on the ground of nonsupport.
He is head of the dry goods department
of a leading business house, earning a
salary of SIS week, which she said
he spent in gambling.
Their troubles We're of several years
standing, and once Mrs Childs was
compelled to leave her husband and go
to New York city, but he induced her
to return to him on promise of good
behavior. Afterward they began quar-
reling again and he left the house, but
visited her occasionally to see their
children.
Childs generally made his presence
known by standing at the gate and
whistling for the children until his wife
demonstrated, when he came into the
house and they arranged for him to
take a room there.
Mrs. Childs tried to support herself
and the two children by dress making,
but was only able to earn $50 a month.
In her straits she agreed to do her
husbands washing and mending for
25 cents a week until today she said
she could stand it no longer.
Childs had stopped her credit at the
grocer's and meat dealers and even
where he worked she was unable to
get clothing for the children. She
complained to his employees and they
ordered him to give her some money,
but he never lived up to his promises.
Mrs. Childs also said that in spite
of his niggardly treatment she was
compelled TO witness him curl his mus
tache and heard of his great success in
pleasing women customers
Prosecuting Attorney Hennessey has
arranged for conference at his office
tomorrow between Childs and his wife
and unless a good working agreement
can be reached he win be prosecuted
under the new law making nonsupport
a felony

MASKED MEN SEEK
TO KIDNAP WOMAN
Niece of AIabama's Governor
Tells Weird Story, Accusing
Husband of Violence

OAKLAND. Aug. accomplishing
that her husband. from whom she has
separated, had made three attempts to
kidnap her in the last three weeks,
Mrs. E. c. Carney, who says that she is
niece Of Governor Lindsay of Ala
bama, appealed 10 the police for pro-
lection today.
The woman says that two masked
men. one Of whom she believes was her
husband. attacked her at the corner of
Twelfth and Castro streets last night,
throwing heavy cloak saturated with
chloroform over her head and attempt
ing TO drag her away by main force.
She fought desperately and finally
managed to work her head free from
the cloak and scream for. aid. Police
man Jordan heard the womans cry and
dashed TO her aid. He found her in a
swooning condition on the sidewalk,
but her assailants had disappeared.
Mrs. Carney, who is an attractive
little woman with the winsomeness of
the daughters of the far south, says she
made an unfortunate marriage and her
relatives cast her off rather than ac-
cept her husband, who was a carpen-
ter. Then Carney mistreated her and
compelled her to work while he lived
in idleness. She continued to support
him in their travels about the country
until they reached Oakland, where, tir-
ing Of the brutal yoke which he had
imposed upon her. she left him and
sought refuge and a mental position in
the home of Mrs. J. F. Munson, at 765
Nineteenth street.
Mrs. Carney declares her husband
mas made three attempts to kidnap her;
that he has threatened repeatedly to
], 4e-,r
that he would force her eventually into
q life Of shame drove her TO desert him.
The police are keeping Carney, who
is living at 1928 East Fourteenth
street. under surveillance, pending an
investigation Of the wOman's story. She
saws that she intends TO institute
suit for divorce as soon as her ator-
ney. who has been hampered by the
theft Of her marriage certificate and
other records, can prepare case.

new AIRSHIP Plans
AROUSEOPPOSITION
MorreIl's Scheme for Monster
Balloon Causes Residents to
Call Mass Meeting

BERKELEY, Aug. 24.-With the in
tention of Building an airship 1900
feet long and as high and wide as his
ship which collapsed in a sensational
way May % of last year, O A. Morreu.
whose troubles, both financial and
aerial. have been aired in the courts OF
the bay cities during the last year. has
purchased a block of property north Oe
county line.
The land is 1900 feet long and about
200 feet wide and lies in the Boulevard
gardens tract. south Of Richmond. It
is bounded by Schmidt lane. Everett,
Richmond and DOna1 streets. George
Austin was the former owner and Ed
Hevlie engineered the deal. The price
paid is not a matter Of public record.
While Morrell is enthusiastic over his
plans for the airship which he intends
TO replace the City of Berkeley. the
500 foot ship which came down soon
after IL went UP last year at Kittredge
and Grove streets. the residents in the
vicinity of Boulevard gardens are not
favorably inclined toward his new
scheme.
Although Morren only completed the
purchase of the lot today, the residents
are preparing to hold a mass meeting
and protest TO the supervisors against
MorrelPs plans as unsafe and Unscien-
tihc
Morreu announces that he will go
ahead with the construction of his sec
ond ship until stopped by the authori-
ties He says that his ship was scien-
tihcally perfect and that the cause Of
its collapse was due to the failure OF
his assistants to obey orders.
On that occasion the ship rose 400
feet in sight of several thousand per-
sons and then collapsed, hurting the
nj NrafVa hun
to the ground. That there was no loss
of life was miraculous, but a score Of
injured. including MOrrell. who sus-
tanned broken leg, were treated at
the Roosevelt hospital
Shortly afterward Alexander OFT,
MOrrelIs chief assistant, brought suit
to recover moneys lent to MOrrell. but
the suit was dropped. Where MOrreu
got his money to buy the lot and build
new ship is a matter Of speculation,
although it is said that a woman who
aided him before is still behind his
enterprise.
