A few months ago the dispensers OF
poslam. the new discovery for the cure
OF eczema. decided to allow the druggists
OF the country 10 handle It. Previous to
that time II could only be obtained direct
from the laboratories.
Since this change IN the method OF dis
tribution poslam has met with the most
phenomenal success Of anything intro

years. All leading druggists, including
Ogram's and O'DonnelTs, IN Washington.

WAS MONEY MAD.
Priest Tried 10 Accumulate Money,
but Not for Mercenary Purposes.


Baltimore, March u.-Rev. Casper P.
Ebert, according 10 those associated with
him. was money mad. He had visions
Of acquiring a great fortune. but not for
mercenary purposes.
As TO the nature Of the hole in which
Father Ebert sunk this vast total. the
belief was to-day expressed by several
persons that no small portion had gone
into venture Of a former resident OF this
city. but now living at Laurel. BY a
process known only to himself he is said
TO have claimed that he could mold pure,
unrefined copper and nickel. an accom-
plishmeRt never before achieved. Follow
ing the awakening OF Father Ebert S
interest IN this plan, the other man is said
10 have purchased an old -four mill and
10 have erected a foundry
Father Ebert was especially enthusfas-
tic over the plans, and is said to have
entered into them with material assist
ance, as well as with moral encourage
meat
And so interested IN this and other
projects. Father Ebert plunged 20 the
limit, raising money by notes 10 finance
the schemes OF varioRs promoters and
SutlE ulyfE lOlrS ~ TAKE care OF QrlEl-
nal obligations Interest accumulated and
more notes were discounted 10 keep the
wheels rolling until at last Father Ebert
was obliged TO resort to borrowing money
on his life insurance policies.
With about $1,000 insurance on his life.
he borrowed to the limit by this method
and averted the inevitable crash TO the
very last moment
Investigation showed that the priest had
been operating for five years.
So far as can be learned. the oblfga-
tons issued by Father Ebert are held by
financial institutions. and few persons OF
limited means are said to be involved in
the transactions, though several notes
are known TO be out bearing the irdorse-
ment of Father Elbert's parishioners.
