Years - Itching, Scaly Eczema
Appeared on Scalp-Countless
Remedies Failed--Suffering Ended
By mAlF ASET of
gW1T0GWRA REMEDIES

when sixteen years old noticed dryness In
my scalp and some hair falling out. This condition
grew steadily worse for the next ten years, al
though used bottle after bottle of different reme-
dies such as C-'s, D, SIS, and countless
others whose names have forgotten. have also
consulted several physicians who gave perma-
nent relief. About year ago, after using one OF
the remedies, I noticed my hair falling out more
and my forehead bearing small scaly and running
sores which sometimes appeared red and inhamed.
In January Of this year, when thoroughly dsgusted
and discouraged. l got a set Of Cuticura Soap
Cuticura Ointment and Cutcura Pills, and gave
them a fair trial. Within a few weeks the terri
BILE itching had subsidized and there a general
improvement In hair and scalp. In two months
my scalp free and clear Of dandrufr and
eczema as though were never troubled with 1t,
and there more hairs falling out, but guam
titles Of new hairs coming in. l have not yet
used one-half the first set Of the Cuticura Rene

them to take advantage Of safe and per-

Digging Channel Through Flats.

One of the mud-digging machines belong
ing to the John Miller Co. of this city is
digging a channel through the flats opposite
Alexandria, from Goose Egg Island, where
Millers sand and gravel digging plant is
at work, to the river channel in order to
give depth of water sufficient to allow the
carrying of scows laden with sand and
gravel across the flats at all stages of the
tide. The digging plant has been located
at Goose Egg Island for the past month or
longer and has been taking up sand and
gravel. In consequence of the very shoal
water covering the river flats, which had
to be crossed by the scows, 1t was impossi-
BILE to more than quarter load them, and
even with that light cargo aboard the
scoys would often have to walt for a day
or two in order to catch tide high enough
to get across the shoals to the deep water
in the river channel. In order to avoid
such delay, a channel five or six feet deep
will be cut through the flats and the mud
taken out of the channel will be deposited
on each side of the cut made. The
opening through the flats will be useful
to boats plying between Alexandria and
the District shore. These boats go from
the truck farms on the Maryland side of
the river to the Alexandria markets, and
though only sailing craft, they often have
trouble in getting across the shoal water on
the fats.

Schooner Has Unusual Experience in
CheSapeake Ray

The schooner Charles H. Strann, Capt
Marshall, had peculiar experience in
Chesapeake bay few Gays ago, while on a
trip from Baltimore to Newbern, N. c., to
load lumber. The weather had been
threatening and sultr- all day, and right
ahead of the vessel a funnel of water
formed that reached high in the air. Be
fore the course of the vessel could be
changed to avoid it, she struck the water
spout and tons Of green salt water poured
upon her deck. The vessel trembed and
groaned in every timber and for few
seconds II looked as II she were going to the
bottom. The water finally ran off but the
deck looked as II 1t had been in a heavy
gale with seas sweeping over it for several
days, instead of under water for few
minutes. Everything movable on the deck
of the schooner was swept overheard, stay
sail boom and jib were missing and yawl-
boat had disappeared.
