Washington, Jan 23.-Demanding an
lures In 1904 and 1908, Senator Gull
berson of Texas In the senate made
sweeping charges of corruption today
against the republican coInmi:tec far
those and other years. Indirectly, he
charged that foreign ambassadorships
Were bestowed as a reward for campaign
contributions and inferentially that
former Pres dent Roosevelt had con-
doned the use of money In politics.
Mr. Culberson's address was made
In anticipation of an unfavorable re-
port by the committee on contingent
expenses on his resolution providing
for an Investigation. He said that
limitation of the poposed inquiry to
bc gin with 1904 should not be con-
strucd as meaning that there had not
been improper practices before that
period

of 1908, Mr. Cuiberson said that tho

ton Of $4,000.
Among the contributors mentioned
we're Ambassadors Reid and kerons
and Minister Larz Anderson.
Mr., Culberson referred to the fact
that George B. cortelyou I'm the 1904
campaign had held the position of
chairman OF the republican national
committee. while he was secretary OF
commerce and labor, and intimaied
that Mr. cortelyou had taken advan-

money for the campaign.

''It has been estimated" he said,
that the enormous and unconscion-
able sum of sll 900, 600 was raised and
probably expended that year by the

fund II approximately correct smacks

Homely Hints.

Always use soft water for wash
ing purposes, when possible.
To keep a uncovered kitchen
table bright, rub it occasionally with
a cloth dipped in vinegar.
To take away the oily taste when
using oil for frying, make the oil
hot and then fry a piece of onion in
it; when brown take it out.
To remove machine oil stains,
cover with lard for several hours
and then wash with soap and wa
ter. When the lard is washed out
the spots will have disappeared.
When darning stockings run a
thread around each hole before be-
ginning and draw until the edges
lie fiat. This makes the hole ap-
pear smaller and it will be easier
to mend. Maize NJ. in Star Farm

HOW CHRONIC COUGHS

Did you ever cough for a month";
Then lust think how distressing 1t
must be to have a cough hang on Tor
three months.
Mrs. Maria Primrose, Of 81 Newell
Street, Brooklyn, n. Y, says: Il had
a very heavy cold which settled into
a chronic cough, which kept me
awake nights for fully three months
and felt tired all the time because my
rest was broken so much. The effect
of taking your cod liver and iron rem
edy, Vinol, is that my cough is gone.

It is the combined action OF the
medicinal elements, Gods livers, aided
by the blood-making and strength
creating properties of tonic iron which
makes Vinol so efficient in curing
chronic coughs, colds and bronchitis
at the same time building up the
weakened, rundown system.
