AN lNToLERABLE ITCHING

"Just about two years ago, some
form Of humor appeared on my scalp.
The beginning was slight itching but
it grew steadily worse until, when
combed my hair, the scalp became
raw and the ends Of the comb-teeth
would be wet with blood. Most OF the
time there was an intolerable itching,
in painful, burning way, very much
as bad, raw burn, If deep, will itch
and smart when first beginning to
heal. Combing my hair was positive
torture. My hair was long and tan
gled terribly because of the blood and
scabs. This continued growing worse
and over half my hair fell out. was
in despair, really afraid Of becoming
totally bald
Sometimes the pain was so great
that, when partially awake, would
scratch the worst places 80 that my
fnger.tips would be bloody. ! could
not sleep well and, after being asleep
short time, that awful stinging pain
would commence and then would
wake up nearly wild with the torture.
A neighbor said it must be salt rherm.
Having used Cuticura Soap merely IS
a toilet soap before, now decided to
order set of the Cuticura Remedies
-Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills.
I used them according to directions
for perhaps six weeks, then left off,
as the disease seemed to be eradi'

months ago, there was slight re-
turn of the scalp humor. ! com

Cuticura Ointment in all. The frs
time I took six or seven bottles Of Gu

bottles-neither an expensive or te
dious treatment. Since then hav

TRANSFERS MANY Fl2EMEN
Waldo's First Changes Include
Eight Battalion Chiefs.

Eight battalion chiefs. ten assistant fore
men. sixteen engineers and one hundred
and twenty-five fremen Will be transferred
into different companies and districts to-
Gay by order Of Fire Commissioner Waldo
and Fire Chief Croker.
These transfers. which were officially
approved yesterday, are practically the
first ones made by Comn1issioner Waldo
since he has been at the head of the Fire
Department. The feature of the transfers
is that they are all mutual exchanges OF
places, and were all made on the personal
application of the officers and men.
Shortly after Commissioner Waldo took
charge Of the department he put stop
to the constant transferring Of fremen,
and announced that all changes must be
by a mutual arrangement Under this
system none Of the officers and men were
forced to leave their old quarters to make
room for those with more political influ-
ence This is in contrast with the Old
way.
Among the battalion chiefs who have
been transferred are Billy" Clark, the
hero OF the Windsor hotel fire. who has
been shifted from a Brooklyn fire district
TO the upper West Side.
