NJ. P. ROBINSON
At HIS NEW JOB
Attending to the Duties of
President of the Health
Board.

President Mark P Robinson of the
Board of Health was on duty at the
Board of Health Office during a good
part of the day yesterday, attending
to the duties of the new position he
occupies. Dr. Cofer was there for a
while, going over with the new presi-
dent matters which had been under
consideration, but were unfinished bus
mess.
Among others besides DR.. Cofer who
hold a Federal and Territorial office
are DR.. Sinclair, who is in the Marine
Hospital Service and assistant to the
president of the Board of Health; Mr..
Duncan, who is Pure Food Commission
er for the Territory, and food and
drug chemist for the Department of
Comeree and Labor; and Dr. Norgaard,
who is Territorial Veterinarian and
also an agent of the Bureau of Animal
Industry in the Department of Com
merce and Labor.
The question in these cases is not
so much whether a person holding a
Federal office is eligible to appoint
ment to Territorial office, as whether
the two offices are incompatible, in
which ease the acceptance of the sec
ond office would be the equivalent of a
resignation of the first. In some of
these cases the second Office NAV be
the better of the two. But in other
cases the first may be the better or
more desirable of the two.

board of trustees The measure Is said
to be so drastic that the question Of
the competency Of the faculty mem
bers is to be the only thing left to
the decision of the president.
This action on the part of the trus-
tees is the direct result Of the recent
dismissal Of DR.. Julius Goebel as the
head of the department Of Germanic
languages. DR.. Goebel has the repu-
tation Of being one of the most bril-
liant German scholars in America, and
his summary dismissal from the Stan
ford faculty caused much comment at.

against the distinguished scholar, and
his demands for a public trial were ig-

refused to discuss the case.

 When he was two years old the eczema got on his arms and legs so that I had to keep them bandaged up and made gloves for his hands SO the nails could not poison him worse. We could not get 8 nights sleep in months and my husband and l were all broken up. Then my mother asked why l did not give up the doctors and try Cuticura. So I got set and he felt relieved the first time 1 used them, the Cuticura Ointment felt so cool. He used to wake up and ask for Cuti- cura to be put on when he itched so badly that he could not sleep. and he would say, 'Ohl Mama that makes nv sores feel so goodl' I gave the Cuticura Remedies good trial and gradually the eczema healed all up and now he is as well as any other chif- dnen, He is now seven years old and the cure has lasted two months, so I think it will never return. can't fell YOU how glad I am that Cuticura did such wonderful work in our case and I shall recommend it everywhere.
