 Was it a happy marriage?' asked this Bostonian

Two Perfect Cures by cuticura.

For several years my husband was a missionary in the Southwest. Every one in that high and dry at- mosphere has more or less trouble with dandruff and my daughters scalp became so encrusted with it that I was alarmed for fear she would lose all her hair After trying various rem edies, in desperation I bought a cake of Cuticura Soap and a box of Cuti- cura Ointment. They left the scalp beautifully clean and free from dandruff, and I am happy to say that the Cuticura Remedies were a con- plete success. I have also used suc- cessfully the Cuticura Remedies for so-called 'milk-crust' on baby's head. Cuticura is a blessing. Mrs. J. 4. Darling, BIO Fifth St., Carthage, Ohio, Jan 20, 190S."

Carl Clock, foreman for the
Coast Contracting company, lies
ct the Fannie Paddock hospital
with bullet wound in his back,
the Potomac hotel saloon Is short
~ in its cash account and the
police have been busily engaged
today chasing down all manner Of
clues, as the result of a daring
outlaws holdup of the Potomac
saloon at 1910 o'clock last night.
The bandit. tall lanky man,
who is believed to have sat at one
of the saloon tables throughout
the early hours of the evening, an
nounoed his return through a rear
door by firing pointblack into the
crowd.
A Close Shave.
The bullet struck Clock In the
right side, blowing its way
through the flesh of his back and
finally lodging between two ribs
on the left side.
After firing the shot the robber
compelled the seven inmates of
the place, including the wounded
man, to hold up their hands while
he hastily cleaned the cash regis
ter OF its contents, snatched a
watch from Frank Leonard, a
patron, and vanished through the
rear door.
Clean "Getaway."
Less than seven minutes later
the police patrol was on the scene
but the robber had made a clean
getaway" 1t ia believed he tim
ed his deed, and that as soon as
he had completed the work, he
boarded the 1915 Interurban car
for Seattle, which passed the sa-
loon a few minutes after the hold
up.
That he was the same man who
sat IN moody silence at one of the
saloon tables. with his face hidden
In his hands throughout the early
hours of the evening. the inmates
OF the place feel certain, but as a
mask of dark cloth covered his
countenance on the second ap-
pearanec they were unable to iden-
tify him positively.
His description does not tally,
however, with that of the indi-
vidual who has been perpetrating
similar crimes in Tacoma the last
few weeks.
Bullet Extracted.
DR.. A. M. Rinkenberger ex-
tracted the bullet from Clocks
body last night, and announced
that although the wound is a
grave one it is by no means SER

ment for several days.
