LITTLE BOY ONE
MASS OF SORES
Not One Square Inch of Skin on His
Whole Body Unaffected Awful
Suffering from Raw Itching
Humor Screams Were Heart
breaking Skin Peeled 20 Times.
WONDERFUL CURE BY
CUTICURA REMEDIES

Ny little son, boy Of Eve, broke
out with an itching rash. Three doc
tors prescribed for him, but he kept
getting worse until we could not dress
him any more They finally advised
me TO try a certain medical College,
but its treatment did no good. At the
time I was induced TO try Cuticura
he was so bad that I had to cut his
hair of and put the Cuticura Ointment
on him on bandages, as it was impos-
sible TO touch him with the bare hand.
There was not one square inch of skin
on his whole body that was not affected.
He Was one mass Of sores. The band
ages used TO stick TO his skin and in
removing them it used to take the skin
of with them, and the screams from
the poor child were heart-breaking. I
began to think that he would never get
well, but after the second application
of Cuticura Ointment / began to see
signs of improvement, and with the
third and fourth applications the sores
commenced to dry up. His skin peeled
of twenty times, but it finally yielded
to the treatment. Now I can say that
he is entirely cured, and q stronger and
healthier boy you never saw than he is
to-day. Robert Wattam, 1922 Center

BRITISH OFFICER
HAS DISAPPEARED
Mystery Surrounds Absence
of Captain Tyler From
Occidental Hotel.

Considerable mystery surrounds the dis
appearance from the Occidental Hotel of
Captain F. R. Tyler of the British army,
who recently arrived from the Orient.
Uncertain as to the missing mans fate,
the British Consul General at this port
has instituted an inquiry and employed
detectives to investigate the peculiar
case.
Captain Tyler, relieved from duty in the
Far East, arrived here by way OF the
northern route on August and took
apartments at the Occidental Hotel The
following day he dined with W. H. Avery
of the Togo Kisen Kaisha Steamship
Company, Professor Howard Swan, late
ances The next day the captain dropped
out of sight and since then not the
slightest inkling of his whereabouts has
been received.
Captain Tyler had called on the British
Consul General Immediately after his ar
rival, and when his disappearance was
reported the British representative at
once engaged the services of Captain
Harry Morses agents to investigate Yes
terday the management of the. Occidental
carefully searched the missing man
room with the hope of finding something
that might lead to the solution of the
Captain Tyler left his apartments as If
he had simply intended to visit the hotel
office. He was not a drinking man, and
his acquaintances are at a loss for an ex-
plation for his strange absence.

WILL CONFER WITH
IMPROVEMENT CLUB
Patrick Calhoun Here in Con-
nectiOn With the Sutter
Street Road.

Patrick Calhoun. one OF the three
largest stockholders OF the United
Railroads, arrived here yesterday from
the East and is registered at the Palaces
Hotel He has come West in connection
with the affairs of the local street rail-
road system. and to again discuss VIZ
the Sutter Street Improvement CLUB
the proposed reconstruction Of the Sut-
ter street cable road and its branches.
Discussing that matter, Mr.. Calhoun
said yesterday:
1T is pretty hard to predict what de-
termination we will finally arrive at.
AS I stated to the representatives OF
the Improvement club at our last con-
ference, I am ready to admit that an
underground electric system is by no
means impracticable and it can be op-
Grated in San Francisco, but not as sue
cessfully as the trolley system. There
are many things to contend with in an
underground system, and especially in
this city, where water and dirt materi-
ally interfere with the transmission OF
the electric current. The experience Os
the railroad companies all over the
world has been that the overhead SER
vice is the most satisfactory, both in
the way Of economy and in the matter
or public convenience. In some cities
there is an objection to the overhead
wires. but believe that this opposition
has an esthetical character"
While here Mr.. Calhoun will give
considerable OF his time to STUDYING
many needs OF Improvement along the
lines of the United Railroads and pro-
posed extensions Of the service.

Man Of Tough Caput
Sure He Did
Not Butt.
Police Sergeant Hit
or Hand Would
Be Sound.

When the right fist of Police Sergeant
Shaw swung against the adamantine head
OF Alfred Barrir, who was resisting ar
rest, the sergeant received about 80 per
cent or the total damage. His hand was
crippled as he recounted the incident to
Judge Conlan, before whom Mr.. Barrir
stood accused of peace disturbance and
battery.
But my Client" thundered the attor-
ney for the defense, should not be held
responsible for this officers injury!"
Then, turning to the defendant, he earn
estly inquired: did you Intentionally
hurt this complainant's hand?"
''Nein," was the answer, delivered with
equal earnestness; indeed 1 neffer did,"
Does the court hear that?" triumph
antly shouted the pleader. MY client
says, No. l never did, Now, may it
please your Honor, 1 move for dismissal
Of the battery charge. If the complain
ant had not struck my clients head, or If
my clients head were softer than 1t is
as soft as his heart apparently is-the
complainants hand would not have been
injured"
Into the stolid countenance Of Mr.. Bar
rir there crept an expression remotely
suggestive of benignity, evidently intend
ed to corroborate the advocates tribute
to his pulpiness of heart, and he Ia
boriously maintained it throughout the
remainder of the proceedings.
He was arrested last Saturday evening
in Japanese restaurant on Dupont
street and numerous little brown men
testified that his behavior was extensively
boisterous, he having undertaken to dis
cipline the attaches of the place, in which
he had no pecuniary interest whatever.

MANY STUDENTS
DESIRE To SUE
Declare They Will Institute
Action Against Dental
Board for Fayoritism
"SOLID FIVE"
President Baird Testifies
Against Fellow Members,
DR.. Cool and DR.. Dunn

The troubles of the State Board OF
Dental Examiners seem to have just
begun. For two weeks the investigat-
ing commission appointed by Governor
Pardee has been probing deeply and
bringing out sensational evidence of
animosity and irregularity that has
startled the public. On top of this
comes the announcement that the board
will be subjected to a damage suit by
those unfortunate students who failed
to pass the last State examinations.
At the opening Of the afternoon ses-
sion yesterday Attorney Feigenbaum
rose and stated that he was prepared to
file series of suits against the board
in the names of several displaced stu
dents. He said he had startling evil
dence from two recent students-one of
them turned down because of a row he
had had with DR.. Baird and the other
IN like predicament through trouble
with DIR. Herrick Feigenbaum said that
he had plenty of evidence to prove that
fragrant injustice and rank favoritism
prevailed. He further made the state
ment that the solid two" had always
tried to do the fair thing, but that the
solid, five" had defeated them.
With this exception, the proceedings
dragged throughout the day. President
Baird was on the stand much of the
time. He further exposed the animosi-
ties which existed between the members
of the body of which he was the head
He made the rather startling insinua-
tion that most of the trouble in the
board was the result of DR. Coors de-
feated aspirations for thespresidency.
He alleged that he as&threatened by
this member of the board Immediately
after his election to the presidency.
DIR. Baird also swore that DR.. Dunn
had performed the duties of treasurer
in a very careless manner and that he
had been informed that DR.. Dunn was
at one time far behind and was begging
friends to help him raise the money.
This information he attributed as COM
ing from DR.. Cool
Both DIR. Dunn and Dr. Cool denied
these statements almost in their entire
ty. They allege that the facts have
been twisted and enlarged. DIR. Dunn
says that he had his books exported
and that they were found to be straight
in every particular. DR.. Cool says he
will clear up the whole matter when
he takes the stand
c. R. Johnson, the dental supply man
who was accused of having obtained di-
rect information from a member of the
board, supposedly DIR. Mayhem, as to the
grading Of the applicants. testified that
this was not the case. He had been
playing with the fellows who had spok-
en- to him regarding the matter.
There is still another suit which now
faces the solid fve' alone. Dr. S. G.
Shaefer was arrested In Los Angeles
for practicing without a license. He
maintained that he was illegally ar
rested and sued the board for $4,000.
He has now released Drs Dunn and
Cool from any liability, but still chooses
to hold the other members.
The session of the investigating
commission will be resumed at o'clock
tomorrow morning.

GREET SPEAKER
WITH APPLAUSE
Professor Borden P. Bovine
Of Boston University Has
Very Interested Audience

Professor Borden P. Bovine, who occu-
pies the chair OF philosophy at Boston
University, held the attention of a large
audience at the Central Methodist Church
yesterday, where he discoursed on the
changes in religious thought during the
last thirty years.
Bishop John w. Hamilton introduced
DIR. Bovine. The Bishop touched on the
great work done by the latter by his in
f1uence at the university. The Bishop as
sured the audience that the great change
that has come over the religious world
was inspired by such men as DR.. Bovine.
The convention was called to order by
the Rev George NJ. White, pastor Of the
Central Methodist Church, and he
thanked the speaker for his attendance.
The following is a synopsis OF DR..
Bowne's remarks:
The reason for confusion in thinking out
the problems that beset the religious world
from time to time is the crude philosophy
men apply to the solution OF the matter. 1t
has been often said If logic had its way, re-
lgion would be null for the logicians question
our methods
RELIGIOUS chickering's ENDED.
1t has been only quarter of a century ago
since there were bitter controversies going on
over trivial religious matters. but In 1870
longer wasted their time discussing problems
that were sure to remain unsettled until men
gospel began a campaign against this sort OF
thing, and rational methods were adopted IN
stead Of the previous chickering's, we now nave
the workers doing good by other ways.
The removal of intricate and false religious
conceptions was left to the philosophers and
they have been mainly responsible for the pres
ent change in religious thought They found
that things happen and have results Changes
take place in nature and man-and we de-
terrnine it is God who is responsible Tor these
changes.
The popular conception Of religion is that
God made the world then retired to watch
the outcome but this belief is wrong and Is
the source Of trouble IN the thinking out OF
problems If we listen to scientists, some OF
these days they will conduct God TO the frontier
and throw him out. but IL is for US TO retain
him as the only instructor.
Colonel Lewisky lectured before the
Congregational ministers at their meeting
in the Young Mems Christian Association
hall yesterday and impressed them with
his struggles against the bigotry Of the
Russian Government in subduing the
freedom of religious thought. He recited
his experiences while he was in exile for
establishing a school to teach the children
Christianity.
DR.. l.. ]. Sawyer will attend the dedi-
cation ceremonies Of the Baptist Theo-
logical Seminary in Berkeley to-day.
The State Sunday-school convention or
the Christian churches will meet to-day
at the West Side Christian Church, Bush
street, near Devtsadero.
