Chicago, June 16.-Objections by the
defense against the admission OF the
testimony of State Representatives Mey'
ers, Link and Beckmeyer IN the Lee
O'Neil- Browne senatorial bribery trial,
was overruled by Judge McSurely today
after five hours argument. This was
regarded as distinct victory for the
prosecution, as it permitted the first cor
roborative evidence in support OF the
confession, so-called, of Representative
Charles A. White, that he had been paid
$1,000 for voting for United States Sen
ator Lorimer Meyers was the first wit
ness for the prosecution following the
sweeping aside of the objections of the
defense
His testimony was in effect that Browne
had called on him on the day of the
election Of Lorimer and asked for his
vote saying that there were lots OF jobs
and plenty of ready cash for those who
voted for Lorimer.
Representative II. j. c. Beckmeyer or
Carlisle, ILL.,, then took the stand. Beck
meyer made confession number two be-
fore the grand jury following the ex-
pose precipitated by Whites confession
number one.

humor on her head which the doctors
called an eczema, and for it l had two
different doctors. Her head was very
sore and her hair nearly all fell out
In spite Of what they both did. One
day her niece came in and they were
speaking Of how her hair was falling
out and the doctors did 1t no good.
She says, Aunt, why don't you try
Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint-
ment?' Mother did and they helped
her. In six months time the itching.
burning and scaling of her head was
over and her hair began growing. To-
day she feels much In debt to Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment for the fine
head of hair she has for an old lady
Of seventy-four.
MY own case was an eczema In my
feet. AS soon as the cold weather
came my feet would itch and burn and
then they would crack open and bleed.
Then l thought / would fee to my

FIVE winters, and now my feet are as
