LIFE OF A PIMPtE.
Compilations are Cleared and PimpIss
Disappear Overnight Without Trouble.

The dispensers OF poslam. a new
skin discovery, ask that notice be
given that no one is urged to purchase
it without first obtaining an expert
mental package. Everyone who has
tried it kntw s that the fifty-cent box,
on sale at Coughlin's Pharmacy and
all drug stores, is sufficient to cure the
worst cases of eczema, where the sur
face affected is not too large. The
itching ceases on first application. 1t
will also cure acne, letter, blotches,
scaly scalp, hives. BARRIERS and every
other form of itch, including itching
feet. Being flesh-colored and contain
ing no grease, the presence of poslam
on exposed surfaces, such as the face
and hands, is not perceptible. Water
and soap cannot be used in connection
with it, as these irritate and prolong
skin troubles, sometimes even causing
them.
AS to the experimental package OF
poslam, it can be had free Of charge
by mail of the Emergency Labora-
tories, 80 West Twenty-fifth Street,
New York. 1t alone is sufficient to
clear the complexion overnight, and to
rid the face Of pimples in tweng-four
hours.

Congress VIII Be- Askst
ToAmend Sherman laN.
President Taft IS Collecting
Data for a Special Message.
Thinks Present Law Gives Too Much
Chance for proiraetsd Litigation.

Washington, Dec. 27.-COngress is to
tie asked shortly after it reassembles
in January to take up for action before
|thc summer adjournment the admins
tratiOn program, for the amendment
of the Sherman antitrust act. Presi-
dent Taft has reconsidered his inten,
ton of indefinite delay and is now col
Letting the data for the drafting Of a
special message as soon as the mes
sages ON TIE interstate commerce law
and the conservation of natural re-
sources have been completed.
The President discussed his intentions
freely during his fall trip through the
West, declaring that immediate con-
sidcration would be urged upon the
Congress, but the governments VIC
tory in the Standard Oil case and the
preparations which followed for the
final legal battle before 4. the United
States supreme court, prompted the
suggestion from the attorney general
that nothing he attempted in the way
of legislation until after the highest
court had passed upon the appeals in
the cases against the Standard Oil and
the American Tobacco Co. A closer
study of the cases shows no necessity
for delay.
President Taft wants a legal guide
post erected by Congress, so that the
prohibitions in existing law may be
made clear and distinct 1t is his idea
that if nothing more is accomplished
than amendments interpreting the
Sherman antitrust law, in accordance
with recent decisions, a great gain in
beneficial legislation will be assured.
Imperfections in the present law fur
nish bad" trusts with legal TECHNICAL
ties with which to wage long war
against the government, he has de-
clared to his friends.
Mr.. Taft is convinced that sone
method of federal incorporation can
be devised without arousing antago-
nisms from the states, through fear
that their constitutional rights are to
be abridged. But the President is firm
in his position that any legislation look
ing toward federal control of corpora
tons must be SO framed that all nec-
essary business secrets shall be safe
guarded.
