Secretary Knox declined last night
to comment on Andrew Carnegie's tes-
timony before the Stanley committee.
One of Mr.. Knox's close friends, speak
ing on Mr.. Knox's behalf, said, how
ever, that the inference that Mr.. Knox
was appointed Attorney General in 1901
on Mr.. Carnegie's recommendation was
absurd" and easily disproved by the
facts surrounding Mr.. Knox's entry
into President McKinley's Cabinet.
This man pointed out that Mr.. Knox

WHITE PlMPLES en- HEAD

Ransom, Ill.-"The trouble started
on our baby when he was only about
two weeks old. Started like little
white pimples, looked like an old scab
Of blood and matter. His whole head
was covered for a few months, then 1t
went to his ear, shoulders, and his
whole body. 1t seemed to come out
thick and sticky on his head, while
on the other parts Of his body 1t vas
more like water coming out of the
skin. He would scratch until the erup-
ton would be all covered with blood
and gradually spread. The least little
stir or rub would cause the sores to
bleed, spread and itch. Never had a
full nights sleep, restless all night.
"The sores were horrid to look at.
1t lasted until he was about two and a
half years old. Then we saw an &c
zema advertisement in the paper to
use -, but it did no good. Then
we used Cuticura Soap and Cuticura
Ointment. We put the Cuticura Oint-
ment on thick at bed time and put q
tight hood on so he could not scratch
the sores. Then we washed 1t cleane
with Cuticura Soap and warm water
twice a day, and he was completely
cured" (Signed) Mrs. E. F. Sulzber-

Gov. Thomas r. Marshall of In

party on a wave of reform. But the
Indiana wave was not so boisterous as
those that broke on the New Jersey
coast and elsewhere. Governor Mar

ton. Also he believes in progressing
with moderation. He does not be-
lieve that this great and glorious CON-
monwealth is going to the "demnition
bow-wows;" in fact, he points with
pride to his belief that the country Is
just a little bit better politically,
financially and morally than ever be-
fore.
1t required heroic measures on the
part of his friends to induce Governor
Marshall to take his presidential
chances seriously, and even then he
refused to allow any effort to be made
in his behalf outside of Indiana.
