End of a Red Nose
New FIesh-Colored Product that
Heals and Hides Skin Inper-

A peculiar feature of poslam, a
new skin discovery, is that it is
naturally flesh colored and contains
no grease, so that when used on
the face for the complexion or for
pimples, red noses or any other in
Examinations, blemishes or discolor-
ations, it's presence cannot be de-
tected. 1t can thus be applied in
the daytime, the natural color of
the skin being Immediately re-
stored and the actual healing and
curing process accomplished in a
few days. 1t can be had of any
pharmacist who sells pure drugs.
Murgittroyd's and Ritter's drug
stores make specially of it. Fifty
cents worth will answer either for
the troubles mentioned or in cur
ing ordinary cases of eczema. Itch.

FAIRBANKS AFTER

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, May A.
Friends of Senator Albert J. Bev-
eridge have just learned of what
they say is a plan to defeat Bev.

turn former Vice President Charles
w. Fairbanks instead.
The Beveridge and Fairbanks
clans have been at swords points
for years, and the Fairbanks
forces feel that Beverage is re.
Sponsible for the electio nof a dem
cratic senator over Senator Hem
nway and the defeat of ex-Con-
FRESHMAN James f. Watson for the
governorship. Hemenway and
Watson are the main cogs in the
Fairbanks machine.
Beveridge's friends discern a
plan by Hemenway and Watson to
get even. Watson has said he will
take up the practice of law in
South Bend, and it is assumed he
will try to gather the remnants of
the Fairbanks machine in the
northern part of the state. Hem.
enway lives at Boonville, near
Evansville, and his friends are al
most exclusively in that district.
Meanwhile. with the work of re-
organization in his behalf going
on, Fairbanks is making a tour of
the world, which will delay his re-
turn to Indiana until after Bever-
idge's fate is settled.

ssSOME REAL ESTATE''

In the interests of its political

attempts to make the point that its

"Some real estate" amounts to
about $4,000, 600 worth, but the fact
does not develop on the county and

In that connection it may be re-
called that the recent action Of the

SCH|VELY IS

TECHNICALLY

An effort will be made next Fri
day to knock out the indictments
against ]. H. Schively, state com.
missioner of insurance, when the
hearing OF the motion to Quash is
called before Judge Hinkle. The
plan of attack used by Schively's
counsel lays in an assault on the
manner of impaneling the grand
jury, the taking of stenographic
notes contrary to the instruction of
the court and the alleged infringe
ment on the rights of Schively as
an American citizen when he was
required to give testimony against
himself in the grand jury room.
The objections of Schively to the
validity of the indictments are not
considered we'll founded by the
states attorneys. who contend that
the reasons assigned in the motion
to quash are captious and not
founded on good legal grounds.
From the west side comes the
word that Schively would probably
resign from the Office of Insurance
commissioner if he thought his
Spokane bondsmen would stick
with him until his case is called
to trial. He fears that to resign
under fire would virtually mean an
admission of guilt and he has con
Guided to cling to his place until
forced out by a conviction or i'm

a special session of the legislature
to demand the resignation of

analysis of the vote by which the

This course is recommended in the
