How to Tell Whether skin Affection Is an Inherited blood DIsease OF Not.

How to Tell Whether a Skin Affection
 Is an Inherited Blood Disease or Not.
 Sometimes it is hard to determine whether a skin affection is a sign of blood disorder or simply a form of eczema. Even physicians are often puzzled in their diagnosis. The best way for any one afflicted is to go to Jacobs Pharmacy, or any good drug gist who handles pure drugs. and ob< tain 50 cents worth of poslam. Apply this, and if the itching stops at once and the trouble is cured in a few days It may be set down as having been eczema, as this is the way poslam acts in the worst cases of eczema, and in curing acne, herpes, blotches. letter, piles, salt rheum, rash, barber's and other forms of itch, scaly scalp and all surface skin affections.
 Anyone who will write to the Elmer ency Laboratories, No. 32 West Twenty fifth street, New York, can secure, by mall free of charge, a supply sufficient to cure small eczema surface or clear a complexion overnight and remove pimples in 24 hours.

It is an absolutely pure distilla- tion of matted grain, great care being used to have every kernel thoroughly matted, thus destroying the germ and producing predigested liquid food in the form of malt whiskey, which is the most effective tonic stimulant and invigorator known to science; softened by warmth and moisture, it's palata- bility and freedom from injurious sub stances render 1t so that it can be re- tained by the most sensitive stomach.

EbbetfS SayS Lur71ley
 Hasn't Had Fair Chance

Brooklyn, June cial.)-President Charles H. Ebbetts of the Brooklyn Base ball club is foamlng about demands for the removal of Manager Dumley that have reached him from Brooklyn fans, who are wrought up over the pitful col lapse of the Dodger team on the road. He declared that he would stick to Harry Lumley until the chubby manager had proved beyond doubt that he was unfit for the job and that 1t wasn't his fault if Brooklyn fans could not or would not see that injuries and general bad luck had torn the team to pieces.
 'I ask you to say for me-" he said, madly waving a bunch of clippings from New York and Brooklyn newspapers, "that I never saw worse injustice than blaming Lumley for the slump of the Brooklyn club Has everybody back there forgotten that Lumley has been out of the game himself for weeks, that Jor- dan Is back in New York with a bad knee, that Lennox has been out of the game about half of the time, that Sebring has proved a disappointment and we had to grab any sort of an outfielder that was in the market to take his place?
 "Iumley Is trying his hardest against luck that would break the heart of any manager He will be manager of the

Brooklyn club until he has had a fair trial and shown that he can be improved upon.
 And he hasn't had fair trial yet, or anywhere near it. There is not the slightest chance that there will be a change of managers this year, and there won't be next year if feel that Lumley has done all that could be done in the face of repeated misfortuaes.
 What do they want? Jordan, Lumley and Lennox out of the game, and they expect us to go on and win. How many games would the Pirates win with Clarke, Wagner and Leach out of it? And those three men on the bench wouldn't weaken the Pirates as much as the absence of our three has weakened us. Buy ball. players? If anybody will please come and tell me where there is a ballplayer for sale better than any man that l have in any position on my club I'll fall on his neck with joy and give him a commits sion on the deal. We knew that Clem- ents arm was not right when we bought him, but if his arm had been right Mur- ray wouldn't haze sold him, and there you are"
 Ebbetts Is a considerably agtated mag nate. As peroration he referred to a letter in a Brooklyn paper demanding that Ebbetts give up the club. He offered this fan the hope that he (Ebbetts) might not live long, adding that this was the only chance to get rid of him.

TzVirIe1-S Sensational
 But Hitting Too Light

Had it not happened. Birmingham would have won the game to 1.
 Of course, in the eighth Dickson walked one and allowed a hit with men on third and second But had Ellam not made his error the man who got the hit would never have approached the stick.
 But the Barons should have won the game in the seventh. With one out, they filled the bases.
 But McGilvray and GygIi famed.
 Much credit goes to Pruitt.
 But the fact remains that we failed to hit the ball. It begins to appear as If the Barons will be a light hitting ag- gation this season.
 Lighter than was expectedi
 We are grumbling little, but there is no serious kick. The team, judging from the scores. is playing pretty good ball.
 The pitchers are proving the sensations of the league.
 And we have won three and lost only four on the road.
 There is yet chance that we will break even.
 The fans are pleased that Molesworth is beginning ti hit the ball out, but in case the opportunity to strengthen the swatting de- partment presents itself, grapple it to your soul with hoops of steel This to the management. H. W. R.

Another Near" Victory Landed

Have you stopped to consider this:
 The pitchers of no other team of the league are giving as few hits the Baron twirlers.
 Robinson, in Memphis, fought out 12- inning tie He gave three hits.
 Manuel was beaten in the first Mobile game. He gave two hits.
 Schopp lost the third Mobile game. He gave three hits.
 Dickson yesterday afternoon lost to New Orleans. He gave three hits.
 The Barons should have won each of these games
 Why, of the struggles referred to above, have the Barons managed to lose all.
 There are two reasons:
 1. The Barons did little hitting them selves.
 2. There was the invariable error at the critical moment.
 Look at the box score of the game yesterday between Birmingham and New Orleans.
 You will find Ellams name at the top Follow the line opposite until the CT TOT column is reached.
 There you will find the figure T. .' That '1" happened in the eighth inning
