Since its discovery one. year ago. til new tlrtiK, poslam, ts succes.ifully cured thousands of chronic uses of eczema oilier distressing skin affections Heretofore poslam has been dispensed solely for the benefit of eczema nts iu large jars sufficient for a month's treatment.

This was found to be an inconvenience to many thousands who use it for minor sklu troubles, such as pimples, blackheads, herpes, acne, scaly scalp, complexion blemishes, Itchuu; feci, piles, which require but. a small quantity to cure. To overcome this, and in response lo urgent appeals, the dispensers of poslam have beeu obliged to adopt, in addition to the regular two-dollar package, a special fifty-cent size, which in future may be found on sale at Voegeli Drug Co. and other leading drug stores in Minneapolis, or may be ordered direct from ihe Emergency Laboratories, No. 32 West 2oth street, New York City.

So exceptional, and it may be remarked in passing, so refreshing, Is Miss Wyndharu's portrayal of a real girl, Immaturely Influenced by an Illusion, but sound of heart and mind, that one is Inclined to believe that her lack of affectation must be an affectation in itself the pose that conceals poses, as it were. A representative of The Tribune yesterday was privileged to discover a most amazing fact; that Miss Wyndham, though young, petted and admired and standing upon a pedestal to which she leapt rather than climbed, Is simply a nice girl, full of fun, cordiality aud common sense, interested in everything interesting, diffident and even constrained when trying to talk about herself, devoted to her mother and her friends.

Just such a girl, in fact, as one might be glad and proud to take to see a performance of "The Man from Home," and never suspect that she "ADVERTISING RATES "Wants" one rent a word If psld at the office In ad-inre.

Closes Pumps in Parks; Water Not FiUo Drink Health Department Insists Upon Pure Aqua for the People. "Pure drinking water In Minneapolis parka," Is a slogan Boon to be announced from the health department. Up to the present ttme, no systematic effort has been made to provide it. As a result, tho thousands of park frequenters In the course of a summer season, especially the children, have been, so the department declares, running more or less risk In using water from surface wells or wells whose outflow, on analysis, proved unfit for drinking purposes. This summer the department has begun gathering samples of water "on tap" In the parks for examination In both the CIK Inlcal aud haclel litlogli al laboratory." As a result, the only remaining pump In Central park was ordered out of service last week, and the park board had the handle removed and a tag put up to signify that it was under the ban of the health department.

At Murphy park. where a well has been sunk to a consid erable in successive efforts to reach pure water, the laboratory tests have resulted tn condemnation, and tho water from the well there is not In use. At Minnehaha park, spring water of the finest kind la always available. The work has Just been started, but In the course of the next few weeks, it is aimed to test the drinking water sup plied In every park In Minneapolis, and to urge a betterment where Improvement Is found to be necessary.

Florence Aileen Moore Js Awarded the (Jertrude Womelsdorff Medal Stanley Hall closed the eighteenth year of Its successful history with the annual commencement exercises yesterday In the assembly room of the school at Pleasant avenue and Twenty-second street. The large room was converted into a bower of beauty by an elaborate decorative scheme carried out In largo branches of fresh poplar leaves that completely covered the walls, mingled with large clusters of white roses, snowballs and other white flowers. The graduating class and all the pupils of the. school were dressed in white, and the picture presented was both beautiful and appropriate to the spirit of the occasion. The six members nf Ihp graduating rnna on the rostrum, and each carried Amer ican Beauty roses.

The exercises this year were distinguished by the fact that the commencement address was made by Olive Adela Evers, principal of the school. Instead of by a speaker from outside. Miss Evers took as her subject: "For Value Received," and the theme of her Interesting discourse may be found in the two truths that she repeated several times: First That success comes only to those who have a definite predominating purpose. SecondThat results are In quality absolutely like the efforts that produced them. "Thero Is an old saying," said Miss Evers, "that you can have wtmt you want in this world or the next for that matter If you are only willing to pay the price; you may accomplish your purpose If and that Is a big If you are willing to give 'for value received' the necessary time, strength, self-discipline, persistence, self-sacrifice such attainment demands." This was the truth that Miss Evers' address Impressively dwelt upon; that effort, industry, deflnlty of purpose and sacrifice of idle inclination are necessary to the real accomplishment of anything In the great world for the attainment of success.

And that the end achieved, though noble and commendable, Is not the greatest good to the one who struggles but the struggle Itself and the "byproducts'; that develop character while the struggle Is being made. In closing Miss Evers spoke affectionately and earnestly to the graduating class direct: "Earn your honors or refuse to have them," she said, "and whenever you think of the days or years spent at Stanley hall I shall be satisfied if there comes always to your mind these truths, which it is my most earnest desire to indelibly impress upon every girl who comes here, that success In life requires a definite predominant purpose and that the results of your work are In quality absolutely like the efforts which produced them. Remembering these truths and reflecting upon them you will soon come to have a definite compelling purpose; you will put the right quality into your efforts because you want a high grade of results in your life work." Miss Evers also presented the diplomas to the graduates and awarded the prizes won by various pupils during the year. The graduates are Mildred Barnes, Elinor Kathryn Fisher, Ruth Frances James, Eva Marie Plnney, Lucille Sprague and Ruth Winifred Wood. Florence Allet-n Moore was awarded the Gertrude Womelsdorff memorial medal for winning the oratorical contest and Gertrude Mayn and Alice Wing received honorable mention.

Ten dollars In gold was awarded to Harriet Goldstein for drawing from life and to Beatrice Sorem for drawing from still life. Honorable mention In art work was given to Madg Cornwell. Ruth Morlan. Grace Wolford, Faith Thompson and Louise Henry. In the Junior essats Helen Belknap was awarded $10 in gold and Katherlne Jolce and Marion Gray received honorable mention.

A Vassar certificate was given to Hazel Brown. The remainder of the commencement program consisted of musical numbers of charming quality. The program opened with "Rise) Again, Glad Sumrtver Sun," splendidly Bung by the Stanley Hall Choral club, under the direction of David F. Colvilla. After an Invocation by Dr.

A. T. Fowler, Mr. Colvtllo sang the Buzzl Peccla "Gloria" and Sar-geant's fine setting of "Blow, Blow, Thou Winter Wind," accompanied by Maurice Eisner. Franz Dicks then gave VUux-temps' exquisite "Reverie" for the vio lin, with Miss Gertrude Dobyns at the piano.

Following the address Maurice Eisner played Schlozer's Intricate and brilliant Russian nude and In response to an encore gave the Mendelssohn-LlBzt "On Wings of Song." As he left the plat form each member of the graduating class handed him an American Beauty rose Elgar's chorus, "Snow," by the choral club, assisted by Belle Snyder, piano; Errlco Sansone, first violin, and Franz Dicks, second violin, closed the exer cises. "Christian Science" Is Branded a "Big Farce" Seventh Day Adventist Bishop Calls It Old Doctrine With New Name. "Christian Science is a new label put on an old can a trick of the Impure spiritual manufacturer," said Bishop Underwood of the Seventh Day Adventiat church before the conference last even ing. The session was devoted to the new thought" cults and In Bishop Under wood's talk he handled the subject with out gloves. "With their New Thought.

New The ology, Spiritualism and others of the Bame Ilk, Buddalam, Mahometlssin, the thoughts of the vetlas and Confuclug are brought up to date," he said. "It Is the same old doctrines slightly twisted and endowed with a new name. "Christian Science Is pantheism pure and simple, and It is the greatest farce of tho day and age. Thousands of bright men and women have been hypnotized and deceived Into acceptlug Ihe fallh and should be rescued. Mrs.

Eddy, who was a spiritual medium In 1S65, wrote a book which she asks her followers to accept as their truth. In this volume she con-tradl'ls herself until tho book appears ridiculous. In one chapter she says pain ana sUkness are Imaginary and do not exist, and In the next she says, she can and has cured sickness. How 'can she cure something that does not exist? "If our five senses are 'erring Illusions' then why make any choice In food and drink why use It at all? In fact, ac cording to the letter of the doctrines in 'Sciencu and Health' we need neither food to eat, water to drink nor clothes to wear. Man Is only mind, a beautiful thought, "Thousands of deaths have been caused by this doctrine and It Is high time that someone was punished for this loss of life.

This cult Is trying Its best to destroy the gospel of Christ and the Increase In Its following is alarming. "It does not ask honesty, truth, virtue. It relieves man of all moral responsibility. A man enn do what he will and then say it Is not wrong for there Is no sin. Christian Science Is the most tin-Christian, unscientific unreasonable doctrine before the Cbrlstluu world today."

The common gambling trading in futures is not only economically useless, but it Is injurious to this lawful trading, seriously so when what is called a corner made by beguiling people Into contracts to buy after locking up all of the articles concerned in the market.

This is common, enough on tbe speculative exchanges of Chicago and New York. Here it has been suppressed from time to time by the simple process of legalizing the delivery of a different grade of wheat from that contracted at tbe common price differential; that is delivery of the economic and commercial value. Instead of the particular thin specified. This works so well for wheat that people ask if tbe same rule coull not be made for stocks. The answer seems to be that there Is lawful trading in stock futures to protect, like that in produce.

All option traders are gamblers and must take their chances. The investor who buys outright can hold through a bear squeeze unless his general necessities compel him to sell. This is offset by his chance to profit without risk in a corner. JOHN HAYS HAMMOND. social, professional or technical club I and the vice president were its honorary head, this singular ambition of Mr.

Hammond would be easily satisfied. We confess with pain that he has had no training in public life except that obtained in boards of directors. All knows about legislation was learned In helping to draw up articles of Incorporation and by-laws. His school of administration has been the management of mines and miners. Nevertheless he has had eruptions of interest in public affairs when be has plunged as wildly as any mining stock enthusiast.

Mere personal sympathy with Dr. Jameson carried him so far In co-operation with that gentleman, Mr. Hammond being professionally employed In South Africa at the time of the famous raiJ, that he passed under sentence of death at Johannesburg. He threw himself Into the Russian-Japanese war with the same ardor but with less rashness. His friends seem to think that his candidacy for the vice presidency Is only another plunge of sentiment.

PUBLIC JUSTICE. American Indemnity of $25,900,000 remained after satisfying on a most liberal scale every lawful claim for public or private loss or damage. We never even heard of an offset for the plunder personally carried off by the creature who was American minister to China and shamelessly sold In New York by his widow after his death. After earnest and prolonged efforts by two secretaries of state, congress all but passed a bill to remit the payment of the rest of the Indemnity by China. In the closing hours of tbe house of representatives this bill was amended by reopening the award of claims and reserving to satisfy any future awards.

It Is six years since the court of claims closed Its hearings in this case and made Its report. China has been notified that the excess will be returned and congress had nothing to do but appropriate the money. The house has disgraced the nation at tbe bidding of a lot of harpies who want the money divided among them on fiaudulent or Imaginary claims.

We fear not, because there is not, in the mind of the layman at least, the Bame distinction between trading and gambling in Stock as in produce options.

In the case of produce, we discover that this distinction can be made clear to a rather dull mind. Option tradiu? has a lawful and useful commercial purpose, for protection of either production, sale or purchase of the actual commodity for future delivery, all thess being legitimate transactions. The farmer or miller who invests capital in the production of wheat or flour makes an implied contract to sell in the future, since he must do so to get his money back. The miller or elevator man who makes a contract in advance to buy wheat to meet his future neels take the same risk of future change of prices. Either can protect himself legitimately by making a contract for an option contrary to that he has made for the commodity.

THE POLITICAL PLUNGE OF The candidacy of John Hays Hammond for the nomination for vice president iB quaintly diverting. But Mr. Hammond himself is not a person to be laughed at. He has not a single qualification for vice president of the United States, but he is a typical American of extraordinary talent and energy and singularly interesting history. Mr.

Hammond is a practical mining engineer as eminent In his way as his friend Clarence King was on the more intellectual side of his profession. He has assisted In the development of some of the most important properties In the West, has taken an important part In remarkable feats of Intricate corporation financing in Boston and New York and has profited by his personal and business opportunities to accumulate great wealth and an army of friends. He is known wherever mineral wealth Is dug out of the earth and good fellows get together about cakes and ale, from Canada to Mexico and from South Africa, to China. If the senate were really PRIVATE GREED AND The history of the defeat in the hous? of representatives of the bill to return to China the excess of tbe Boxer indemnity Is not creditable to tbe government of the t'nlted States. If It were the direct act of the president or tbe secretary of state, it would expose the nation to International scorn and obloquy.

But responsibility for ucb an act can be diffused among three or four hundred law-makers In surh a way as to lose its force and effect We need not recall the main history of the United State's reluctant and honorable part in a shameful act of international brigandage. The governments of Europe united to plunder China like a gagged and bound victim after their brutal soldiery had robbed her palaces, outraged her women and tossed her babies on bayonets. American and Japanese soldiers kept their hands and souls free from stain and the United States government did Its best to limit the Indemnity demanded to actual loss and damages. Nevertheless more than half of tre THE PEACEFUL ISOL A few years ago the "splendid Isolation" of England was considered to portend war till Lord Salisbury flung the BrltlBh fleet In the fac of' tbe world and made war a dangerous risk. Germany was considered to be the fhief Instrument in the Isolation of Great Britain.

Within ten years the vingularly broad and acute diplomacy of King Edward has substituted (-r-many for England In a state of Isolation. By a series of personal conferences and trestles he has established a firm understanding with every non-German power of Europe, ending with Rusala. Tbe formal Russian treaty seems to have been signed, but It Is to be clinched by a friendly visit of the king to "the The plan for that visit was at. tacked In a rather blundering way In th house of commons by the opposition. This gave Sir Edward Grey, the foreign secretary, the opportunity to mak a sufficiently clear statement of Its purposes.

The friendly unders anding lth Rua-la la no mors hostile to the and ut IN is no a could play its leading feminine role so well. How astonishing It is that this should be true, only those who are brought into frequent contact with stage people oft the stage can appreciate. Miss Wyndham has no fads, doesn't collect anything, carries no silky poodle adorned with a blue ribbon and a foolish name, expounds no weird philosophy abjut bar "art," mentioned neither Ibsen nor Bernard Shaw though the interview lasted nearly 20 minutes, and walked to the head of the stairs with her visitor as though she were really glad he had taken up her time. "How do you she said cordially, coming1 into the reception room of the West hotel and shaking hands. "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, but 1 had a caller.

When our manager, Mr. Kingsbury, mentioned an interview I was scared, for really I don't know how to be interviewed, and I'm afraid you'll find me a good deal of a disappointment.

MUSIC IN 'AS YOU LIKE IT" AN ENJOYABLE FEATURE One of the most enjoyable features of the University Dramatic club's performance of "As You Like It" that will be repeated next Thursday afternoon at 3 and evening at 8:15, is its music. Heathe Gregory's splendid baritone voice is Just suited to "I'nder the Greenwood Tree" and "Blow, Blow, Thou Winter Wind." Louisa Leavenworth, who is bo well known In university musical circles, appears In the character of a page, and sings "It was a Lover and His Lass." The play ends with a Joyous English wedding dance composed by Frank lilbb. who also makes such a good impression with his acting of the two parts LeBe.au and Silvius.
