Washinton.-The Ballinger-Pinchot
controversy reached a stage where
the two principals accused each other
OF having attempted to deceive the
president of the United States. Ii
was the first time in the protracted
row that Clifford Pinchot and Secre.
tary Ballinger have come into the
open and said just what they thought
OF each other. Their statements sum
up the intense personal bitterness that
mas been sm%ouldering between them
for six months or more.
Mr.. Pinchot's statement was made
before the joint committee of the
senate and house which is investigat-
ing the Ballinger-Pinchot scandal. Mr.,
Pinchot did not mince words. He
charged Secretary Ballinger not only
with having deceived the president,
but with being unfaithful to his trust,
a dangerous enemy to conservation
and a falsifier.
When this story has been told"
said Mr.. Pinchot, land the witnesses
who | shall ask you to call have been
heard, you will realize that the inter-
ests of the people are not safe in Mr..
~Ballinger's hands and that the coun.
try will demand of this committee a
verdict in harmony with the general
conviction that the secretary of the
interior has been u%nfaithful both to
the public, whose property he has en-
dangeTed, and to the president, whom
he has deceived"
BalIinger Makes Statement.
In reply to the Pinchot accusations
Secretary Ballinger issued this state
ment: In view of the fact that I
will presently have an opportunity to
appear before the committee and ac-
quaint them with the truth, | shall not
reply through the press to the men,
dacious aspersions which Mr.. Pinchot
seeks to cast upon me. He attempted
without success to deceive the presi-
dent. He viii find that it will be equal.
ly difficult for him to deceive the COM
mittee. Obviously, the only deception
in which he hopes to succeed in is a
temporary deception of the public
through the press. This he has en-.
deavored to do by giving out in ad-
vance the Introductory statement
which has appeared, and which he has
been malignant enough to present. but
not quite reckless enough to state
upon oath.
Finally, as already stated, | will
soon have an opportunity to give to
the committee, and through the com
mittee to the public, the facts and the
truth, and for that reason | have nc
statement at present to make"

No treatment that is limited to the

be regarded as part of the treatment.
At least an hour each day should be
spent in this healthful exercise Night
and morning, when unrestrained by
tight clothing, different exercises
should be taken, An excellent one to
quicken the action of the liver is to
stand or sit twisting the body first to

pull cords and muscles in the abb
