FEARF Ill BURNING
ITCH WAS CURED
BY Cuticura Soap and Ointment.
Another Man Had itching on Scalp.
Hair Fell Out, Leaving Bald Spots.
Now Hair Has Grown, Thanks to
Cuticura Soap and Ointment.

CT deem It my duty to tell about cure
that the Cuticura Soap and Ointment have
made on myself. My trouble began in
splotches breaking out right in the edge Of my
hair on the forehead. and spread over the
front part Of the top Of my head from ear
to ear, and over my ears which caused q most
fearful burning itch, or eczema. For three
years had this terrible breaking out on my
forehead and scalp. tried our family doctor
and he failed to cure 1t. Then tried the
Cuticura Soap and Ointment and used them
for two months with the result Of a complete
cure. Cuticura Soap and Ointment should
have the credit due, and l have advised q
lot Of people to use them" (Signed) c. D.
Harrington, Creek, N. c.. Jan. 20. 1911.
II will say that 1 have been suffering
with an itching on my scalp for the past
few years. My hair fell out in spots all
over nv head. My scalp started to trouble
me with sores, then the sores neaIed up,
and crusts formed on the top. Then the hair
fell out and left me three bald spots the
shape OF half dollar. I went to more than
one doctor. but could not get any relief. SO
I started to use the Cuticura Remedies.
tried one bar OF Cuticura Soap and some
Cuticura Ointment. and felt relieved right
away. Now the bald spots have disappeared,
and my hair has grown. thanks to the Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment. l highly recon-
mend the Cuticura Remedies to all that are
suffering. with scalp trouble" (Signed)

and they might. be exercised so as to be
extremely dangerous. In fact the de-
partment can put any Arm 1t wants to
out OF business II 1t sees fit and there
would be scant opportunity for any re-
course. The working OF the force OF
postoffice inspectors are being studied
in this connection.
May Divide inspectors.
One of the suggestions which Is be-
ing given serious consideration Is the
separation of the duties OF the inspec-
tors so that the postoffice inspectors
shall have charge only OF civil mat
tiers and the criminal phases OF inquir-
les shall be left to inspectors of the
department OF justice. 1t Is not un-
unlikely that the committee will rec
ommend such a separation Of duties
and of personnel.
A, highly interesting question before
the committee and one which 1t will go
into will be the extent to which poll
tics dictates the administration OF the
postoffice departm The committee
has given little attention to this as yet.
1t will doubtless seek to find out
whether political considerations are al
lowed to cut an undue figure in making
appointments. especially in the south.
1t is freely alleged. Of course. tnat
Postmaster General Hitchcock is build
ing up political machine thru south
ern appointments. The committee Is
expected to give attention to the truth
or falsity of such charges.
Undue Political Activity.
One specific complaint Of undue po-
ltical activity has been made to the
committee. This is against Postmaster
Grener, of Buffalo. Greiner. as Is
we'll known. is a powerful element In
the republican organization of western
New York. The committee has not
sone into this complaint. and will not,
until it has been laid before the post
master general or the president or
both.
Thus far politics has not appeared
in the committee. 1t has taken great
number Of votes but has never divided
along partisan lines. The members
have been doing much hard work ana
apparently are trying to go to the bot
tom of the postofftce department man
agement Indications are that already
the investigation is having some effect
on the conduct of the department. The
question Of eXpirations or subscrip-
tons has long been one as to which
the department has had no settled pol
icy. Lately, an order has been made
that it shall be year. In most cases.
That is, publishers are allowed that
time In which to secure renewals or
subscriptions. Another likewise un-
settled policy has related to sample
copies. Recently. the department has
concluded to allow 10 per cent OF an
issue to he sample copies. More or
less these recent orders are thought to
be due to the Investigations of the
committee.
This committee is not taking up the
parcels post as this is being investigat-
ed by the house postoffices committee.
1t is not certain when the committee
on expenditures In the postoffice do
partment will report. 1t is quite likely
it's report will be made in two or more
sections.

Postoffice Inspectors.


Washington, Dec. Important re-
forms in the postoffice department are
likely to come about as the result of
the inquiry into the administration and
ment now being conducted by the
house committee on expenditures in
the postoffice department. This COM
mittee is headed by William A. ASH
brook, of Ohio, and consists of four
democrats and three republicans. The
members, aside from Ashbrook, are AL
exander, of Missouri, Redfield, of New
York, and Mccoy, of New Jersey, dem
ocrats. and Austin. Of Tennessee,
Slemp, of Virginia, and Towner, of
Iowa, republicans.
While this committee has made lit
tie noise and little has been said
about it's work it is probable that when
it's report is completed it will be found
to be among the most interesting and
valuable findings made in recent years
by the congressional committee. The
Investigations are covering wide
range and entering into almost every
important phase of postoffice affairs.
CARRYING Cost Of Mails.
The committee has set experts to
work exploring into the question of the
cost of carrying second-class mail
matter President Taft has commits
ion looking into this subject but this
will not prevent the house having in
formation of its own. The question OF
railroad mail pay is also being examin-
ed into with care. This question has
been much mooted in congress for
years. It. is pretty generally agreed
that the railroads have been heavily
overraid. 1t is not long since Post
master General Hitchcock gave it as
his verdict that the roads were get
ting about 100000 year too much.
Several years, earlier, however, the re-
doubtable Murdoch Of Kansas made a
great fight IN the house to have rail-
road mail pay reduced. He succeeded
in getting the regular house machine
headed by Uncle Joe" Cannon array
ed against him for his pains. The rail-
roads maintain they are underpaid to
the extent Of about s15.O0o,O00. Thus
it appears there is a discrepancy OF
$24,00O,C0O between the figures Of Mr.
Hitchcock and, Of the railroads that
needs looking into. and the committee
on expenditures in the postoffice de-
partment is looking into the facts.
Fraud Order Question.
The whole fraud order question In
it's numerous ramifcations is being ex-
amined into by the committee. 1t has
given much attention to the famous
case of the Lewis publications but In
addition to this it is studying the gen
eral subject. The question Of appeals
to the courts from fraud orders is one
phase Of the. problem. The postofftrf
department now has powers In this
respect that are absolute, or nearly So

New York, Dec. z.-"I am astounded,
am astounded; my credulity has been
imposed upon. It is bolt out of a
clear sky"
The ordinations were those Of
Samuel Gompers. president of the
American Federation of Labor, when
advised Of the pleas of guilty in the
Mcnamara cases.
Mr.. Gompers was caught on the wing
between Washington and Troy, where
he is going to attend hearing OF
the Wagner Smith State factory COM
mission, of which he is a member. IN
cidentally the news from Washington
is that the confessions Of the Nc
Namaras may result in the overthrow
of Gompers as head of the Federation
Of Labor.
Mr.. Gompers. on reading the bull
letin, gasped, and then asked that he
be allowed to digest the information
until the train got to New York. There,
in the smoking room Of the Pennsyl-
vania station. Mr. Gompers said he was
astounded at the news. and had no
intimation that the brothers would
plead guilty until he heard that they
already had.
IL had personal assurances from
both John Is. and James J. that they
were absolutely innocent when I Wis
tied them twice in Jail in Los Angeles
| in September" said Mr.. Gompers.
"They gave me their word to give to
the labor men of the country. My cred
utily has been grossly imposed upon. I
am shocked beyond expression at the
news"
"What effect will this termination
have upon labor unions?" he was
asked.
"Well, it won't do the labor unions
any good" said Mr.. Gompers. The
| unions of this country have been i'm
posed on before by enemies and have
been injured by friends. The men of
labor have been led to believe that
these two were innocent, and we acted
/ on that faith. We had collected, at the
las: report. 100000 for their defense.
| This money has been forwarded to
their chief counsel to disperse among
the other attorneys and witnesses. I
| still deny the report that 100000 was
subscribed for their defense.
| my attitude has always been the de-
nunciation and the encouragement of
that sort of thing. 1t has to be
stamped Quit must be stamped out
if the labor union will endure. The
labor movement is pne Of peace, not the
destroying of property and lives"
"Do you think that any other labor
Headers were with them p

my associates could do it., and none of
the labor leaders that know could.

again from both of them in letters, be-

Mitchell Dazed by Confession.


Roanoke. Va Dec. John Mitchell,
vice president of the American Fedora
ton of Labor and former president of
the United Mine Workers of America,
who lectured here last night on the
subject of Trades Unionism," when
told of the confession of the McNa-
mara brothers and asked for state
ment replied:
Il am astounded. This comes as a
great shock to me. l had believed con-
fidently in the innocencetof the McNa- :
mara brothers and had always believed
the blowing up of the Los Angeles
Times building was an accident and
not a crime.
CAS- a practical miner, and havina
experienced the use of dynamite as an
explosive, l was sure that it was not
used in the destruction Of the Times
building. as the basement was prac-
tically unframed and the tendency OF
dynamite is to go downward.
Il confidently believed that the de-
struction of the Los Angeles Times
building was due to a gas explosion"
Mr.. Mitchell said the leaders of I'M
ionism had at all times urged the pub
lie to withhold judgment until the trial
of the Mcnamara brothers should have
ended as they were entitled to the
benefit of any doubt and opinions
should not be formed until a thorough
investigation had been made.
In discussing the matter with labor
leaders and others Mr.. Mitchell is re-
ported as having said that the McNa-
maras should have the ,severest pun
ishment meted out to them.
