IN this city his experiences OF the sue

an invitation affair. and tickets were IS
sued only by members OF the society.

Washington society folk, the audience
lacked the glitter OF oflcialdom and the
splendor Of the diplomatic corps attend
ant upon the earlier occasion
Commander Peary made no deviation
from his previous lecture or published
statements In simple language, dwell
ing scarcely at all upon the suferings
and hardships. endured by himself and
companions. he depended largely upon

environment Of the dash 10 the north

panions. both Eskimos and white men

Dr. Moore, IN introducing Commander
Peary, paid the highest tribute 70 him as
a man and a leader Speaking Of tht

when about two and a half wears

began In October; the first 1 noticed
was little red surface and a constant
desire on her part to scratch her limbs.
She could not sleep and the eruptions
got sore, and yellow water came out of
them. l had two doctors treat her. but
she grew worse under their treatment.
Then l bought the Cuticura Soap, Cuti-

and only used them two weeks when she
was entirely well. This was in Febru-

than box Of Cuticura Ointment. Mrs.
