WASTED A FORTUNE ON SKIN
TROUBLE

II began to have an Itching over my
whole body about seven years ago and
this settled in my limbs, from the knee
to the toes. l went to see great many
physicians, a matter which cost me a
fortune, and after l noticed that did
not get any relief that way, went for
three years to the hospital. But they
were unable to help me there, l used
all the medicines that l could see but
became worse and worse. had an
Inflammation which made me almost
crazy with pain. When showed my
foot to my friends they would get
really frightened. l did not know
what to do. I was 80 sick and had be-
come 80 nervous that positively lost
all hope.
Il had seen the advertisement of
the Cuticura Remedies a great many
times, but could not make up my mind
to buy them, for I had already used SO
many medicines. Finally l did decide
to use the Cuticura Remedies and l
tell you that | was never so pleased as
when l noticed that, after having used
two sets Of Cuticura Soap, Cuucura
Ointment and Cutlcura Pills, the en-
tire Inflammation had gone. I was
completely cured. I should be only
too glad II people with similar disease
would come to me and find out the
truth. l would only recommend them
to use Cuticura. Mrs. Bertha Sachs,

Physiognomy of the Salesman

The nose of a travelling salesman generally
bears the appearance Of breadth Just above the
wings. This is the nose that indicates the ability
to acquire property, make good sales secure re-
turns through bargains and fine talking, and
get large orders even when persons have indi.
Gated that they did not wish to buy or make a
bargain. The thickness of the nose above the
wings Is the true facial sign OF acquisitveness
and travelling salesman and good business
man have generally this Characteristic strongly
developed We find 1t large In George Peabody.
Andrew Carnegie and the Rothschds all OF
whom have made large fortunes
The lips OF a good salesman are regular and
fit appropriately together.
The chin and jaw of successful salesman are
indicated by their squareness and roundness com
bined. The roundness gives the power of appeal
and the squareness gives the capacity to clinch
the bargain.
The voice OF successful salesman is bright,
CHEEKY, optimistic Its infections are hopeful and
airy, not heavy and dull. The salesman possesses
silyery toned voice which is so oiled to its sub
ject that 1t knows exactly what to say, and SAYS
it without hesitation

.same-the public got the worst of 1t.
Various cities have made efforts to devise
some means of testing taximeters, but to Uncle
Sam belongs the credit OF first solving the prob
lem. The system is now in successful operation
at the capital of the nation, where, by the way,
there probably taxicabs in operation
than in any other city of the size in the world.
The matter Of keeping tab on the taxmeters was
placed In the hands of Col. w. c. Haskell. the
United States superintendent of weights and
measures, and he invented the first machine spe-
cially designed for testing the accuracy of the
! taxi"
The first apparatus was rather cumbersome
and the most conspicuous feature large
wooden wheel which turned by hand The
principle of operation involved the insertion of
small wire through the shaft of the meter to he

times to cover distance. verifying this test

machine when fitted with the same size eccentric,
sprocket wheel and spiral shaft in N taxi,
cabs gave correct test but 1t was tme-con-
Stunning process ten revolutions of the large wheel
being required to show onequarter mile Of travel.
After much study of the subject Colonel Has
kell perfected the small machine which has lately
been introduced for this work. With 1t one revo-
luton of the crank wheel-through the aid Of
system of cogwheels- a quarter of
mile Of travel with this small machine attached
direct to the shaft of the meter to be tested
It s. possible to test ten meters in the time for
merly required for trying out one. Moreover, the
system Of cogwheels is so adjusted to give an
absolutely accurate test. The government now
requires that all taximeters attached to cabs at
I the seat of government be tested at least twice
year. and when meter upon test is found to be
accurate a round blue seal is affixed to the face
of the meter showing that 1t has been zap

The frequency with which the claim is made
that the automobile is largely an extravagance
and that the people have grown motor-mad and
are annexing themselves to power conveyances
with rapidity and lack of discretion that threat
the stability of the country is largely borne
out. by the results Of recent Investigations.
An editorial in a recent issue of the Worlds

In the city Of Minneapolis alone 1900 homes have
been mortgaged to enable their owners to pur-

PUBLIC MEETING YESTERDAY
Willingness Expressed to Help With Labor
or Money to Get Relief to the
Sufferers at Wellington

At a public meeting held in the
opera house yesterday afternoon, at
which J. c. Davis was elected chair
man and L. J. Nelson secretary, COM
mittee of three was appointed, Mr..
Westcott to act as chairman, to take
charge of the information and commun-
icate with friends and relatives Of vic
Tins of the Wellington disaster. He
will be assisted by Mrs. G. w. Hoxsey
and Mrs. A J. Martin.
A committee of three to have charge
of relief work, OF which F. A. Lose
kamp is chairman, was appointed.
This committee was empowered to call
on the citizens for such money as
might be necessary to prosecute the
relief work and call on any citizen for
help. z At the close of THE meeting a
suggestion was made that citizens vol
unteersto help open the road between
here and Chiwaukum, and it is ex-
pected that hundred or more will be
on hand this (Friday } morning, to go
up the canyon with picks, shovels
and such tools as are necessary to clear
the track of distractions between this
point and Chiwaukum. The slides be-
gin about one mile west of town and
continue at intervals to within one mile
of Chiwaukum. F. A. HLosekamp gen
erously offered to head a subscription
list with s1O0.in aid of the sufferers.

-Four additional inemen started out
at o'clock this morning to assist the
force already in the canyon in estab-
fishing telegaphic communication with
Wellington. Score of poles and miles
Of wire have been swept away.
Dispatches from Seattle yesterday
stated that the warm weather was melt
ing the snow in the foothills and noun
tains and that a food was expected
that would endanger both railroads and
other property throughout the Sound
country.
A sharp fall Of temperature last night
in the mountains has lessened the dan
ger of further slides, though it has I'M
doubtedly made the work Of clearing
the track much harder, as at numerous
points the huge accumulations Of wet
snow, ice and boulders are frozen into
one solid mass, and in some instances
may have to be loosened by the use of
dynamite.
A long work train arrived from Spo-
kane last evening, bringing twelve out
fits and force Of nearly $50 men in
addition to those already here. Be-
ginning this morning record time will
be made in clearing the canyon Of OBJ
structions and getting aid to those who
are working so frantically at Yelling
ton to recover the bodies OF the dead
and searching anxiously in the hope of
finding some more survivors.
Will Greeve and Billy Smith walked
down from Merritt to this place on the
railroad track Tuesday afternoon. Mr..
Greeve had gone up to his ranch the
previous week to build a house and,
knowing his wife would be uneasy
about his fate, and unable to communi-
cate with him on account OF all the
wires being down, he decided to walk
to town Tuesday afternoon accom-
panied by Mr.. Smith. Between Mer-
ritt and Chiwaukum the track was COM
paratively free from all slides, but from
the Wenatchee river bridge just this
side of Chiwaukum they encountered
one slide after another. One OF them
nearly twenty-five feet deep and ex-
tending clear across the river. They
ran most of the way, and frequently
heard the roar of an avalanche of snow,
ice, rocks and trees as it rushed down
the mountainside with terrific f)rce,
sometimes in front and sometimes be-
hind them.

General Notes of the Disaster

Mr.. Woodrow stated that General
Manager Gruber would be here today
and with other officials would direct the
work of opening the road to the Cas-
cade tunnel.
Operator Collins, who, has charge of
the telegraph Office att Drury, walked
into town Wednesday morning. He
reports that the entire distance be-
tween Leavenworth and his camp is
one mass Of snowshdes.
Though the slide occurred at 4
o'clock in the morning, it was fully
1915 before the passenger train could
even be located, so enormous was the
volume of snow and debris. Every
thing was completely buried.
The whole train was tossed, thrown
and rolled over stumps, logs and rocks
fully $50 feet down the steep noun
tain side, the wet snow sticking to it
and rolling with it until the long
crushed object with its freight of dead
and dying lay as if wrapped by the
angry elements in a winding sheet,
ready for burial at the hands Of the
storm king.
Up to last night no mail had been
received from the east since Wednes-
day morning at 7 o'clock. For the
past eight days we have had but one
train day, carrying nothing but mail
and express. Yesterday that train
failed US on account of washouts be-
tween Spokane and Wilson Creek. A
train was expected sometime during
last night, however.
The snowslide at Wellington is au-
chemically reported to the Great Nor
them officials in Seattle to have been
about one mile in width, reaching
from Wellington to the first snowshed
fully a mile distant, past the four sid
ing that are capable of holding, 70
cars each The equipment car swept
down the steep slope is the rotary
pillow with its crew, all OF whom slept
in the rotary's bunkhouse.
Passenger train No. 2, eastbound,
ran into rock slide 80 miles east of
Spokane, near Milan, Wednesday morn
ing. The engine and two cars were
derailed, and Fireman Miller killed,
while Engineer Carr was seriously tho
not fatally hurt. Some eight or ten
passengers were slightly injured by
burns and otherwise. The cars caught
fire and two burned. The balance Of
the train was uncoupled and saved.
The Spokane Express had been
stalled at Wellington since last Thurs
day. The passengers have been eating
at the railroad boarding house and at
nearby cottages, but returned to the
Pullmans to spend the nights. Three
days ago several of the passengers fear
ing a catastrophe Of this kind, asked
Superintendent O'Neill to have the
train moved back into the Cascade
tunnel, where it would be protected.
Mr.. O.Neill is said to have declared
that the train was perfectly safe on the
siding at Wellington and he decided
TO leave it there.
