Washington, July 2.-tspecial. )-An average expense account of s29 fol every day of a period of more than two years in the eyes of Chairman Boil of the House committee on expenditures in the department of justice, even if the expenses are incurred in the pros ecution of the Standard Oil company and the Hartman merger of the Pa cific railroads is something worthy of investigation.
 Frank B. Kellogg, special assistant to the Attorney General and Roose- velt's chief trust buster, drew from the treasury $22,561 on expense vouchers. He made the drafts from December 23 1907 in addition to his fees to Febru- ary Il, 1910. The last mentioned day is about the time the re-argument of the Standard Oil case was completed.
 MT Beall and his committee will be- gin an investigation of the Kellogg ac- counts when the committee assemblies

Anniston July 2-(Sp cial)-The meet ing of the magnates of the Southeastern Baseball association, who got together at a late hour at the Alabama hotel in this city Saturday night, was the oc- oasion of some surprises, notably in the increase of the salary limit and the play CT limit, the former being put to 1875 and the latter to 13 men.
 A long howl went up from all con- cerned when the matter of revising the present schedule was brought to the front and this sroan put a quietus on that question, witb the result that the league season will be finished under the schedule drafted by Secretary J. B. Pat ton of Rome, Ga.
 The matter of league expenses was also settled to the satisfaction of all con cerned. Hereafter, instead of the regu- lar allowance of per cent for the pur- pose of defraying the expenses of the league. such as salary of umpires, league secretary. etc, the president of the association, J. H. O'Neill of Rome. will make an assessment on the different clubs in the league for this purpose, the assessment being in such form as will

San Francisco, July 2.-(Special.)- Lightweight Champion Ad Wolgast and his game little challenger, owen Moran, are both trained to the hour. Each is counting the minutes ere the bell will ship match here July 4
 The men are ready now, and each would much prefer that the battle take place today instead of three days hence
 Each Is confident, though the cham pon is the favorite. If this battle does not prove one of the most interesting and exciting ring affairs that has ever been known since the day when Vol gast won his tile from Nelson. great disappointment will be felt along the line.
 Although both men are strong, sturdy little fellows, each is possessed of a fair punch, still careful students of the game see visions of the fighting going the full 20 rounds. But few look for knock out, and this explains why there has been no round betting up to the present time.
 Wolgast seems to be gaining strength and favor as each day rolls by Moran realizes that the opportunity of his life is at hand and he will leave noth- ing undone to avail himself of the op- portunity to win. The International aspect of the Ad Wolgast owen.

again, probably Friday of next week. T. c. Spelling. one time assistant at- torney in the department of justice. who declared the Hartman merger case was bunged, has been employed by the committee to delve into the matter. He said today that the vouchers set ting forth the items of expense incurred by Kellogg will be produced before the committee.
 The expense accounts of J. c. Mickey holds, the special assistant to the Att torney General in charge of the Tobacco trust case, are also to be scrutinized by the committee.
 The committee is expected to find out whether MT. Kellogg was away from home every day during the time he was engaged upon the Standard Oil and Union Pacific cases. Members of the committee have an idea that the actual daily average expenses will be shown to be something over $40 day, in stead of $29. From September 30, 1908. to April 1, 1909. the expense accounts amounted to $13,0s1 or something like $71 a day.

Barons And Billikens Meet Today

The Barons got next to old man Brett ensten yesterday afternoon, but our old college chum, Ivor Wagner, was unable to hold the Pelcans.
 As a result the Barons lost the game and threw away an opportunity of de- feating the Pelcans on their own grounds.
 While one cannot but grieve that old Breitenstein escaped, there is satisfaction in the knowledge that the Barons broke everN In the Pelican series, and, for that matter, on the road trip.
 This afternoon the Barons will open on Redwood Field, their opponents being the Montgomery Billikens.
 Following the game this afternoon an- other will be played Tuesday morning and another Tuesday afternoon.
 Against Montgomery there will also be games Wednesday and Thursday after moons.
 It is pretty safe to state that Frank Sparks will pitch this afternoon, and as he is one of the hardest fingers in the league to beat, it is reasonable to pre- sume that the battle this afternoon will De q thrilling one t,IousH VIII Ho toupt be on the hill for Birmingham, and as the big fellow has dropped the last three games in which he has figured, 1t is be- lieved that he will extend himself this afternoon.
 From the present outlook it is probable that Speer and Kent will represent Bir- mingham on the mound Fourth of July Bill Bailey, who easily trimmed the Barons Sunday week, will no doubt work in the first game for Montgomery, while Lellvelt will probably pitch the second.
 On account of the good showing which the Barons have made recently, baseball is riding on the high tide at the present time, and it Is believed that record crowd will witness the afternoon game Tuesday. There seems to be some dis pute as to the largest crowd which ever gathered to witness a Southern league game, but it is certain that neither the Atlanta audience, July 4, 1907, nor the audience which witnessed the champion ship bout between the Pels and the Vols in 1909 surpassed in number 11,000
 So if we can gather on Redwood Field Tuesday afternoon 11,000 strong, thefe Is no doubt but that we will establish record whi. will endure for. long, long time.

THE ALARMING PREVALENCE
OF ECZEMA
finds Victims Among Every Race,
Age and Condition.

OF all the diseases OF the skin and
scalp which torture and disfgure man
kind, three fourths are eczematous.
Millions are born with eczema. and it
is the only thing other millions have
left when they die. Neglect in infancy
and childhood. irritating conditions af.
fecting the skin. ignorance of its real
natse, improper remedies and many
other causes that might be mentioned
have created an eczema which, with
varying severity. has afflicted count
less numbers during their entire lives.
Eczema is a skin disease. II is not re-
garded as hereditary, nor contagious,
and is impartially distributed among
the rich and poor, the high and low.
The agonizing itching and burning Of
the skin. causing loss of slsep. is usual.

caused by the bursting of little vesicles
filed with an acrid fluid, which burns
as with fire the denuded skin. New
vesicles form, FIJI and burst. scales

One of the most successful treat

Fish.

The flesh OF fish which contains a
large portion of fat and proteid, in
comparison 20 the other food princi-
pies, is next in Importance TO meats
as food.
Inc meat of fish is not as nutritive
as meat, because II contains less OF
proteid. Having shorter and more ten.
der tbers it is easier OF digestion and
is therefore a useful food for invalids
and those of sedentary habits.
Fish has so little flavor and loses
1t so easily, having less of the ex.
tractives than meat II has become TO
be considered not nutritious.
One and a half pounds of FISH is
equal TO one pound OF lean meat in
nutritive value.
On account of it's abundance and its
cheapness in most districts, when
compared 10 meats, together with its
wholesomeness, II is an invaluable
food. This is especially true when
considered as a hot weather food.
Fish are red and white as TO flesh.
The so-called red-blooded fish are
those having the oil distributed
throughout the body. Such fish are
less digestible and among this va.
riety are mackerel. salmon and blue
fish.
The white-blooded fish are those
which have the oil in the liver, the
flesh is dryer and is more easily di-
gested. Haddock, lake trout and white
fish belong to this class.
The cod is an exception TO these as
IL has a coarse fiber and is indigesti.
BILE
The process of sailing hardens the
fiber of fish tissues and renders thehm
less digestible
The presence of phosphorus in tsh
was supposed TO make it especially
valuable as a food TO the brain This
belief has no foundation. other than
the fact that the brain contains phos-
phorus, and it was supposed that FISH,
being rich in that element, would sup
ply II.
Many meats contain a large percent
of phosphorus, too, so that the brain
may have its supply from many
sources.
