Indianapolis. Feb. 23-Thirteen sen.
ators led by CRUDE and Shively who
thought they saw schoolmen's lunch
hooks thrust into the county treasury
buffets, raised the hue and cry of sal
airy grab again Wednesday against
the bill to put county superintendents
on fixed salary basis. They tried to
yank the bill out of the taxicab which
glided 0hrough with thirteen other
less important ones. But thirty votes
were the preferred fare and the We
hicle began to look like a factory
truck when the insurgents tried to
block it. So the pedagogues' bill sail
ed away SO fast that the faithful con-
stables timing the speed of these
treasury hauls did not even get it's
number.
Those who opposed the bill which
gives nearly every county superin-
tendent in the state a fixed salary of
$1.45O0S with 5000 travelling expenses
and the privilege Of an assistant at

Shively and CRUDE in divers fashions
tried to lop the expense and assist

Senator Jackson offered an amend

riage, but this. too, was voted down.
Senator Netterville's bill to prohibit
discrimination in rates paid fire in

Congressional Apportion-
ment Committees of Legis-
lature Fix the Sixth So 1t
Is Democratic.
GRAY AND BROTHER
DEPARTED SMILING
Three Marion County Town
ships and johnson County,
Democratic, to Take the
Place of Decatur.

The Democratic majority in the
Sixth congressional district will be
materially swelled, if plans of the
House and Senate Congressional APP
portionment Committees made at In
dianapolis last night, are finally adopt
ed by both branches of the General
Assembly.
1t is planned to slice Lawrence,
Warren and Franklin townships of
Marion county from the Seventh dis
trict and place them in the Sixth. In
addition to this the Sixth will fall
heir to Johnson county Of the Fourth
district, having a decided Democratic
majority. In exchange, Decatur
county, Republican, will be placed in
the Fourth.
The removal of the three Marion
county townships from the Seventh to
the Sixth district will mean more
| than 600 additional Democratic votes
for the district. The loss of Decatur
county and the acquisition Of John
son, means that the Sixth District will
be pretty thoroughly Democratic.
Go Before Committee.
Representative Finly H. Gray and
his brother, Judge George L. Gray, OF
| Connersville. appeared before the
committee at the meeting held at the
Denison hotel to protest against any
change in the district that would re
duce the Democratic majority, and as
the result of the request the commit
tee made the changes.
| The Gray brothers are said to have
been greatly pleased with the
change, leaving the meeting with
smiles.
| To aid the Democrats of the Second
! in carrying that district the commit
| tee agreed to take Lawrence county
from the Second and place it in the
Third district, the latter being sc
thoroughly Democratic that it can
stand any Republican majority which
Lawrence County might roll up.

Carlisle raced to second and touched

LAWYER CURED OF ECZEMA

while attending school at Lebanon,
Ohio, in 1882. became afflicted with
boils, which lasted for about two
years. when the affection assumed the
form of an eczema on my face, the
6wer part Of my face being infamed
most of the time. There would be
water-blisters rise up and open, and
wherever the water would touch it
would burn, and cause another one to
rise. After the blister would open,
the place would scab over, and would
burn and itch so as to be almost un-
bearable at times. In this way the
sores would spread from one place to
another, back and forth over the
whole of my upper lip and chin, and
at times the whole lower part of my
face would be solid sore. This con-
dition continued for four or five years,
without getting any better, and in fact
got worse all the time, SO much so
that my wife became alarmed lest it
prove fatal.
During all this time of boils and
eczema, I doctored with the best ply
sicians of this part of the country, but
to no avail. Finally decided to try
Cuticura Remedies, which I did, TAX
ing the Cuticura Resolvent, applying
the Cuticura Ointment TO the sores,
and using the Cuticura Soap for wash
Ing. In very short time began to
notice improvement, and continued to
use the Cuticura Remedies until was
yell again, and have not had re-
:urrence of the trouble since, which Is
over twenty years. I have recon-
mended Cuticura Remedies to others
ever since, and have great faith in
them as remedies for skin diseases"

Law, Greenville, O., Jan. II, 1911.
Although Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment are sold everywhere, a sample
of each, with 32-page book, will be
mailed free on application to "Cuti-
cura," Dept. 3 x, Boston.
