Pineacura is Quick and Sure
Removes Pain and Heals
the Wound.

It is bad business to let any cut, or
sore 90 without attention. It is good
way to get blood poison. Cuts and
sores disappear very soon after you ap-
ply a little Pineacura-a wonderful
healing oil to them. This is also the
most effective remedy in the Drug
World for severe burns, strains, ul-
GERS or stiff muscles.
In other words, Pineacura does
away with all inAammation-absorbs
it and does it effectively and quickly.
1t is the one remedy mothers can
surely rely on for the little accidents
that children meet with almost daily.
Pineacura is penetrating, it will 60
right into every cell in the lungs if
rubbed on the chest and relieve the
tight feeling of colds the choked up
tissues in pneumonia and bring on re-
freshing natural sleep.
Keep Pineacura in the family med.
icine chest. We absolutely guarantee
it to fully meet every claim we make
for it, or your druggist will promptly
refund your money.
Csc, SOC and $1.00 sizes.

Mr. TOdd's Defense.

Mr.. Todd at this juncture arose and
made a defense of his position. He
stated that it was a plain business
transaction so far as he was concern
ed as an architect. AS to the in
sinuation that any effort had been
made to debauch any one, personally
he resented it. He stated that it was
entirely and absolutely false, so far
as he was concerned. He said he had
never approached or spoken to any
member on the merits of his plans.
These would have to stand for them
selves. He had gore into the work
earnestly and with every purpose OF
uprightness and never in his life had
ne ever done or contemplated anything
except that which was honest and
straightforward.
The meeting in the governors ofhce,
he stated, was purely and simply busl-
ness, and not a word of politics was
discussed, and it was entirely gratui-
tous and false to make any insinua-
tions that there was any "politics. :"
Governor Blease, he stated, was not
present when the contract was signed
between the subcommittee and him
self to prepare the plans. He had de-
voted an entire year to the work and
had done the task faithfully and with
his whole soul. When he went into
/, colt. : ct he believed he was get
ting a gold bond and said so, because
he believed then as now that he has
rendered faithful service.

Atlanta, Ca, (Special.)-Stories of

throngs of cripples and infrm have
poured into the headquarters of the

buy the strange new medicine that IS
said to exert it's powerful influence
over certain diseases in a manner that
seems almost miraculous.
Pale faced, weak and sickly wild

strong men to turn away and hloe

supplied by the main laboratories at
Fort Wayne, Ind, and can be obtained
by any worthy and deserving poor
person who needs medicine and has
no money to pay for it.
Not only have the poor people be-

Shortly after the reading Of this

ing rose to a point of personal priVl-
lege and read a portion of the report
of the committee on State house and
grounds, as printed in the Journal OF
February /, which portion was as fol-
lows:

of the committee on State house and

Mr.. Browning went on to say that
the ways and means committee, IN
reaching it's findings, was largely in
fuenced by the report, and that he
wished to emphasize the statement
that Mr.. Todd, in arguing before the
committee relative to the claims, had
stated that the contract was made IN

HOHSa.
That one of the actions of the sub
committee on State house and grounds,
in connection with the letting of the
contract for drawing plans and speci-
fcations for improvements to the
State house, appeared to him as an
effort on the part of some one to
"bribe and debauch members into
the adoption of the plan" was the
statement of Mr.. LoWndes J. Brown
ing today on the floor of the house of
representatives, following the receipt
of message from the governor in
which was enclosed the statement
from the members of this sub-com-
mittee that the contract for the draw
ing Of these plans and specifications
was neither made nor signed in the
governors Office nor in his presence,
and that 80 far as We know, the gov
ernor knew nothing of the said agree
ment. until it's presentation by us to
the full committee at the meeting Of
