does not assert that all preparations Oh

Wood alcohol, the dangerous charac-
ter of which is fully esta blished, is one
of the most poisonous agents found IN
cosmetics. OF sixty-six toilet prepare

Conclusions Reached.

From a study of the available data,
the following conclusions are arrived
at:
The poisonous nature of wood al
cohol, in all of it's several forms, is so
well established that it's presence in
cosmetics or other preparations for ex-
ternal use on the human body should
be prohibited by law.
Salts of the heavy metals particu-
larly salts of lead, zinc, mercury and
bismuth. may be absorbed from cos
metic preparations and produce their
characteristic constitutional effects.
ITO prevent serious intoxications and
to preclude obvious deception and
fraud, cosmetics should be classed as
drugs and proprietary preparations
sold as cosmetics should be required
to state on the label the name of any
poisonous ingredient that may be con-
tained therein" n
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1915-10-08
May Cause Insanity.

Lead carbonate is recognized as the
most common cause of industrial lead
poisoning. One physician reports two
cases of lead intoxication" due to skin
absorption from a cosmetic. He ex-
presses the belief that many cases OF
general nervous debility, some of In.
sanity and perhaps other types OF
paralysis are caused by the use OF
cosmetics containing lead
ut may be said that many of the So
called beauty lotions and toilet pow
ders are primarily fraudulent in that

out of all proportion to the actual
value of it's components," is side

THE misuse of drugs in the form of
identifying agents" says the bulle-
tin. lis principally due 70 the fact that
the federal and many of the state food

Willing to Help Elect United

REPUBLICANS REVEAL
INSIDE OF POLITICS
E. R. Brown Testifies Col. Roosevelt
Was New York State Leader
1906 to 1910.

SYRACUSE. n. Y, May 12.-Elon X
Brown, republican leader in the state
senate, swore on the witness stand in
the trial of the Barnes Roosevelt libel
suit here today that he considered
Theodore Roosevelt was the leader OF
the party in this state from 1906 until
1910. Col Roosevelt was President of
the United States during part of that
period.
The senator also swore that in 1911
when the state senate was deadlocked
over the selection of 4 United States
senator TO succeed Chauncey NJ Depew,
Mr. Barnes had in substance expressed
a. willingness to have the republican
vote go to an Independent democrat
who was unlikely to become identified
with the dominant faction in the demo-
cratic party.
Witnesses for Col. Roosevelt testi-
fed to an alleged agreement that they
said Mr.. Barnes had with Charles F.
Murphy to allow the Tammany leader
to have a free hand" in the selection
Of a United States senator
The court refused to allow Senator
Brown to answer questions about the
election in 1906 of a presiding officer
of the state senate. In this connection
he asked whether Col Roosevelt dom
mated that election.
Courts Ruling.
Following an argument over questions
along this line, Justice Andrews said:
Il have left In the case in justification
the one charge that Mr. Barnes was
dominant in 1911 at the time of the sena
torial election. That requires the i,1rv
to find that Mr.. Barnes was dominant
1t requires the jury to find that Mr.
Barnes made an improper alliance with
Charles F. Murphy. To meet that charge
YOU, Mr.. WINS. may prove that Mr..
Barnes was not dominant"
Senator Brown was Questioned about
conversations he had with Mr.. Barnes
in 1911. He said.
Il had talk with Mr.. Barnes about
the senatorial election. 1t was in New
York. No one else was present. / said
to Mr. Barnes that Thomas Mott Os-
borne had told me he believed it would
be a great patriotic duty to have the
republicans and the insurgent demo-
Gratis unite and send good man to

publican leaders of both houses to see
what the sentiment was about such a

later told Mr. Barnes that Mr. 0sl

publicans the following day The re-
publican leaders. Merritt and Brackett

might train with the dominant fac
ton of the republican party"
E. T. Bracket on Stand.
The next witness was Edgar T.
Brackett of Saratoga, former state
senator The witness told of the caucus
at which Senator Depew was nominat-
ed in 1911 He said Mr.. Barnes was not
present and swore that he had not dis
cussed the United States senatorship
with Mr. Barnes until about a month
later He started to tell about a con-
ference in the home of Mr.. Barnes after
Senator Depew had announced his
withdrawal from the contest. whom .
