Ing of hearty turkey dinner, | was
seized with an attack of acute indi-

CURES EczEMA QUICKLY.
New Discovery Has RevoIutionlzed
the Treatment of Skin Diseases.

Nothing In the history OF medicine
has ever approached the success Of
the marvellous skin remedy known as
poslam, which, II is safe to say. has
cured more cases of eczema and skin
diseases than any remedy ever offered
for these Ills.
The success of poslam is not at all
surprising when II is considered that
even a very small quantity applied to
the skin stops itching Immediately
and cures chronic cases OF eczema, as
well as acne. herpes. letter, piles. salt
rheum, rash, crusted humors scaly
scalp and every form of itch, yield to
IL readily. Blemishes such as pimples,
red noses, muddy and infiamed skin
disappear almost Immediately when
poslam is applied, the complexion be-
ing cleared overnight.
Every druggist keeps both the so
cent size (for minor troubles) and
the So Jar. and either of these may be
obtained in Paducah at Gilberts or
r. w. Walker & Co.'S as well as 9TH
er reliable drug stores.
But no one is even asked to pur-
chase poslam without first obtaining
an experimental package which will
be sent by mail, free of charge, upon
request, by the Emergency Labora-
tories. 32 West Twenty-fifth street,

Legend Of the Sweet Briar.
The chill wind walled o'er Bethlehem
And flowers were seen no more;
A leafess briar rose shivered
Beside the stable door.
The stars shone clear above her,
And BY their glimmer bright
The shepherds on the hillside
Kept watch that winter night.
But when the choir OF angels
Burst forth In joyful strain
That echoed through the stiffness,
Der town. and bill and plain.
The briar rose by the doorway
Peeped In and tried to see
The blessed Christ-child resting
Upon his Mothers knee.
when. 10, her wlthered branches
Were clothed In living green,
And scented ruddy rosebuds
In beauty fresh were seen;
And since that hour the briar rose
Retains that fragrance sweet,
Which long ago she lav.shed
Before the Savior's feet.

No Action Criminal.
Another action which showed
that he was unfaithful was the fact
that, after hearing at the conference
between Mr.. Schwartz. Mr.. bennett
and myself, that there was great ne
oessity Of securing a construction OF
the law of May, 1908. and agreeing
with us that the matter was Of such
Importance that the attorney general
should act on 1t and after instructing

stey changed his mind, for some rea

subordinate of his own department.
"None Of these are things upon
which a criminal charge could be
Dredlcated, but to my mind il was
Ear more cowardly for him to direct
these things than If man had actu-
ally stolen something for which he
could have been convicted.
"In July, 1909, when saw Mr..

told him We had been ordered TO pre-

Mir. Vertrees read demand which
CLAWS successor had made upon him
for. certain letters that were missing.
CLAWS said he turned all the papers
over. The ones that were said TO be
missing. he declared, ought to have
been in his Office.
It's Frame-Up, Says CLAWS.
Mr.. Vertrees then read some let
ters published recently In a weekly
paper. CLAWS said they were in
cluded in the list his successor had
prepared as missing.

to this paper?" asked the attorney.

"Now. Is II not a fact that you did
furnish these letters to that paper.
that you placed all the papers that
had been called for by your successor
in one of the boxes in the grand fury
room which was broken open on the
eighth of this month and the letters
and copies found therein?"
That is absolutely false-it is a
frame-up." cried CLAWS. showing
anger for the first time. "Those let
ters did not hurt me. Why did I
want them? They hurt Ballinger. -
CLAWS was interrupted with ques-
ton.
"Wah." cried CLAWS, 'I want to
finish. II wanted to steal those let
ters do you think | would leave them
where federal officers could get them?
1t makes me indignant to think that
government officers. to gain favor
with superiors would stoop to such a
thing"
The crowd in the hearing room
burst into applause. Chairman Nell
son SAID another such demonstration
would result in the room being
cleared.
CLAWS said the letters which ap-
peared in the weekly papers were
some OF which he had furnished car
bon copies TO the forest service. He
had furnished these copies to the for
est service as a further means of
safeguarding the Alaska coal lands.
when did you first do this to
safeeuard the Alaska coal lands?"
After I saw the president at Bev-
erly last September"
Thought bennett Crooked"
Mr.. Schwartz was present at the
afternoon session. CLAWS continued
under cross-examination. He re-
peated that part of his direct testi-
mony in which be said that he
thought Mr.. Dennett's actions at
Seattle were CROOKED" on account
of the funny letters" bennett was
writing. He said bennett denied one
day that he knew Mr.. Bohrens, one
OF the coal claimants. and the next
day the two lunched together and
appeared TO be old frlendS.
CLAWS said he became convinced
that bennett was simply the tool
of Ballinger and would do anything
Ballinger told him.
Summing what he said was the
facts convincing him that Secretary
Ballinger was unfit for the Office
and unfaithful to his trust" CLAWS
said:
"The first thing is the appearance
OF Mr.. Ballinger in the Wilson coal
cases.
Another thing was Mr.. Balm
gers expressions in the summer of
1907 to Special Agent Jones when he
knew that there had been violations
OF the coal land laws; his statement

matter was put over for consider

In the morning session MIR. Yer
tress drew from the witness that he
made no charges OF corruption of
any one in the land Office of the
department OF the interior. CLAWS
declared that II he had found evi-
dence of corruption he would have
taken the matter to a grand jury in
stead OF TO the president He said
he thought the facts warranted the
opinion that Mr.. Ballinger and Mr..
bennett had acted improperly and
he charged them with official mis-
conduct.

that the facts he had oxered in evil

Commissioner bennett was fit to

had rendered an erroneous interpre-

OF 1898 and that this cecision while

anything Ballinger said"
At the afternoon session CLAWS.
In response TO a question by Mr.
vertrees. summed up the specific
acts OF wrong-doing. which he
charges against Secretary Ballinger.
His statement was a long one. but
was listened TO with intense inter
est, and really for the first time gave
definite statement of the prosecu-
tions' case.
Cunningham's Paid First.
The Cunningham claims, CLAWS.
said. covered but a small part of the
coal areas of Alaska--about 80
claims out of 800. Mr. Vertrees drew
from him that the Cunningham
claimants were the first of the Alas
ka claimants to pay up on their
claims and that in numerical order
they were entitled to first consider
alton in any investigation.
CLAWS said he wrote the article
which on November 1S, appeared in
weekly paper entitled THE White
Washing of Ballinger. Are the Gug-
genheims in charge of the depart
ment OF the INTERIOR" but that he
was not responsible 'for the heading

Not a cent"
"Your testimony before the COM
mittee makes three statements OF
the facts as you understand them?"
"Yes. SIR"

TO see what congress could do to hell

Question His Actions.
'His next action-one of tn.
most important going to show tina
he is not loyal to this trust and no
faithful to the people-was this one:
After giving me the full right and
instructions to make a full and com.
plete investigation OF all the coal
cases. he personally took up an old
report by Special Agent Love, a few
days after, and deliberately ordered
the Cunningham claims to proceed
to patent. The Love report to my
mind, and have acted on a thousand
or more reports. did not in itself war
rant a favorable recommendation II
showed there had been an under
standing among the claimants and
suggested fraud rather than a COM
pliance with the law.
Another evidence that Mr.. Ballin-
ger was not trying TO protect the
peoples rights was his appearance
before the public lands committee of
the house in favor of the Gale bill.
which carried out the statement Ball
niger made to Jones, that he would
do what he could to secure legisla-
tion which would have enabled these
fraudulent claimants to secure pat
ents. II the Gale law had passed 1t
would have validated the claims.
BaIlinger as Attorney.
"The next step Mr.. Ballinger took
was his unprofessional action-at
least members of the bar regard it
50, and / know of no attorney of my
who would have done
it-in deliberately going around and
representing the other side after
having been commissioner of the
land office and having full knowledge
of the character of the INVESTIGATION
we had made. He did not act alone
in the Cunningham group, but in the
Green group as well. in which he
took six affidavits. He also acted as
arbitrator between II. r. Hartman
and John Hartlic. relative to the pur-
chase of some coal claims.
ellis next action consisted in his
asking me in the fall of 1908, when
he was in politics and arranging for
campaign contributions to hold off
any investigation of the coal cases.
This showed he did not have the in
terest of the government at heart"
