MELLON DENIES
LIQUOR CHARGES
MADE BY MEANS
Not Connected With Dis
tiIIeryr He Tells Senate
Committee,
BIZ United Press


WASHINGTON, June 6.-secre4
tary Of the Treasury Mellon, in q
letter to the Senate Daugherty in4
vestIgating committee, today fatty
denied all charges. made against him
by Castor B. Means.
Mellon declared Means account Of
an alleged agreement entered into
with Rex Shelton Of New York;
whereby whisky permits were to
have been issued by Mellon in re-
turn for contributions to the Repubt
lican national committee was un'
true.
He also said Means testimony that
he had conferred with former Under
Secretary of the Treasury Gilbert
about illegal Withdrawals Of liquor
was false.
Saw Shelton Once
Mr.. Shelton once did come to
see me, but as I recall, not in con.
nection with permits" Mellon wrote.
L understood that his request,
about which there was nothing un-
usual was not granted by the official
of the Treasury whom I REFERRED
him.
Senator Bursum did come to see
me some time in December, 1921.
about granting permits, just as 9TH
ers came into recommend some ac-
ton by the treasury. Senator Bur-
sum presented to me a list of appli.
cants for permits to wholesale drug
houses and the manufacturers using
alcohol.
Il turned this list over to Mr..
Blair, commissioner of internal rev.
enue, for investigation to determine
the character of the applications in
the usual course.
"In three of these cases the in
vestigatioR was satisfactory and the
permits issued. There has been no
intimation to me, directly or indi-
rectly, that d campaign fund would
be or ha sheen benefited in any way
by the issuance of the permits"
Forged Permits Blamed
Mellon then described at consider
able length the Goodman case" in
which liquor was withdrawn from
the warehouse on forged permits,
and said this was due to the fail
ure of a superintendent to obey
instructions. The superintendent
was discharged, he said.
Mellon reiterated that he had no
connection with the Overholt Distil-
lery and declared that the distillery
had not manufactured any liquor
since 1915. Only f1fty-two cases Of
whisky have been disposed of by
the distillery since 1916, he said.
Proof of the facts stated in this
letter." Mellon said, can be fun
nished your committee by competent
witnesses if you consider such proof

Senators to Sit

Under this resolution a committee
Of five Senators would be empowered
to sit through the recess of Congress
to see that complete information re-

told me about Lydia 2. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound and started to
pick up as soon as l began taking it.
Then took it again before my first
baby was born and l never had bit
of trouble. recommend it highly"
Mrs. JANE CRosSAN, 612 Pine ST.,
Wilmington, Delaware.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound has helped many other
women just as it has helped Mrs.
Dakan, Mrs. Meyn and Mrs. Crossan.
Consider the statements of these
women. They give you the benefit
OF their actual experience with the
Vegetable Compound.
A nationwide canvass of women
purchasers of the Vegetable Com
pound reports that 90 out of every 100
have been benefited by its use.
This is a remarkable record and
proves the dependabilityof the medi-
cine for the relief of the troubles
women often have.
For weak and rundown conditions
so common after childbirth it is well
adapted. 1t strengthens and tones
up the system and restores normal
health.
The Vegetable Compound contains
no harmful drugs or narcotics and
can be taken in safety by the nurs-
ing mother. For sale by druggists
everywhere.

Swamp Root a Fine Medicine

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney or bladder trouble and never
suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy con-
dition they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
You may suffer pain in the back, head
ache and loss of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous, irritable
and may be Respondent; it makes any
one so.
But hundreds of women claim that DR..
Kilmers Swamp-Root, by restoring health
to the kidneys, proved to be just the
remedy needed to overcome such condi-
tons.
Many send for sample bottle to see
what Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver
and bladder medicine win do for them.
BY enclosing ten cents to DR.. Kilmer &
Co., Binghamton, N. Y, you may receive
sample size bottle by parcel post. You
can purchase medium and large size bottles
at all drug NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

There followed the subdued shuttle
OF feet; the guarded scrape of a match ;
the flicker OF tardy candle. A dim
light fell through the open door In a
long splotch of yellow across the sit
ting room and the knob OF the safe was
softly turned. BY some supersense
that marvelously functions at such
moment, he knew when the door
opened Across the silence came the
subdued crinkle Of paper The ripe IN
slant had come.
Pushing the curtains aside, he left
the closet. A board in the floor
creaked as his weight came upon 1t.
He stood perfectly still until the rattle
OF the paper told him the creaking
board had not betrayed him; worked
his way around the wall and peered
past the door-jamb.
Two men were crouched by a shaded
candle in front of the massive safe;
