SAVED OLD LADY'S HAIR

"My mother used to have a very bad
humor on her head which the doctors
called an eczema, and for it had two
different doctors. Her head was very
sore and her hair nearly all fell out
in spite Of what they both did. One
day her niece came in and they were
speaking of how her hair was falling
out and the doctors did it no good.
She says, Aunt, why don't you try
Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint-
ment? Mother did and they helped
her. In six months time the itching,
burning and scalding of her head was
over and her hair began growing. To-
day she feels much in debt to Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment for the fine
head of hair she has for an old lady
of seventyfour.
'My own case was an eczema in my
feet. AS soon as the cold weather
came my feet would itch and burn and
then they would crack open and bleed.
Then thought I would fee to my
mothers friends, Cuticura Soap and

five winters, and now my feet are as
smooth as any ones. Ellsworth Dun

RESCUE PARTY
AFTER YACHT
UPSET IN BAY

Failure to properly adjust, before
leaving shore yesterday, the center
board of the twenty-foot, sloop-rigged
yacht, Minnie H, owned by John Whit
worth, of 212 Front street, almost cost
the life of Mrs. Whitworth and two
other occupants of the boat, Thomas
Smith and a man known only as
George" The boat capsized near the
lighthouse after striking a passing
gasoline launch. Mrs. Whitworth,
Smith and George" were pulled out
of the water by Whitworth who was
the only n in the party able to swim.
The boat was left drifting in the wa
ter and was regained later ON the
Staten Island shore.
A heavy wind and a raised eenters
board were the combined cause of the
boats capsizing.
Before leaving shore yesterday af-
ternoon Whitworth did not lower his
center board to prevent the craft g
sliding sideways. ConsequN lily, when
the boat reached the open bay where
there was a heavy wind, it became
u~nmanageable. Attempting to come
about or turn, Whitworth was unable
to keep his craft from drifting against
a passing gasoline launch, and as a re-
suit the small yacht overturned.
All four occupants were preeipitated
into the water. With his right hand
clutching the combing of the partly
righted boat, Whitworth extended his
left and grasped his wife's struggling
form. She secured a grip on the comb
ing, and Whitworth went after the two
other men, who were vainly trying to
keep their heads above water. He sue
eeeded in assisting them to the boat.
Seeing the dangerous position of the
guartette, the men in the launch re-
turned and placed Mrs. Whitworth in
a small tender. The men clarhbered
aboard the launch, after Whitworth
had affixed a tow line to the bowsprit
of his craft.
Half way across the bay, the line
parted and the Minnie Fl. was left to
float. Three hours later, its owner To-
it on the Staten Island shore and
morning, it was towed to this city.
None of the party required medical
assistance.
