Cuticura Soap and Cuticura

Terry, Miss.-"Whcn / first noticed the
trouble 1t was fine pimples which began to
itch on my entire person. but my face
seemed to be more affected than other parts.
i would rub them which would make them
itch much worse. Then I began to scratch
and this caused them to become large and
form wstery pimples. They festered and
came to a head. then they burst and became
sores. On account Of the itching at night
/ could not rest well.
After using skin lotions they would heal
a little. then break out again. After about
a month my sister told me about Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. used water as warm
as / could bear and made lather with Cuti-
cura Soap. bathed then dried and applied
the Cutcura Ointment which gave relief
at once. I kept on using them and in .
months time the trouble was entirely gone.

How One Story Should End.

Do you remember how, during the Paterson strike,
a socialist editor Alexander Scott roasted Police
Chief Crimson, the fat-wtted tyrant who had call
celed free speech; and how they turned the antian
archst law upon Scott and sentenced him to Is years
In prison? Think of it! FIFTEEN YEARS for dar-
ing to criticize bone-head chief of police
Well, the New Jersey supreme court has knocked
that sentence QUIT couldn't have done otherwise
without multiplying one of democracys basic guaran-
tees the right freely to utter comment upon public
affairs.
So far, good But this oughtnt to be the end
of that chapter of significant history.
1t isn't genuine freedom of the press if criminal
wealth may hurl its minions against such as Scott,
pursuing them from court to court burdening them
with accumulating costs and bedeviling them with
countless annoyances with no comeback when JUS
tice finally spews the prosecutions out
For having allowed its courts to be perverted to
the purposes of malicious prosecutions, New Jersey
owes Scott reparation and if it values justice it will
make it.
More than that-the preiudiced Judge who pro-
nounced upon Scott that unlawful and preposterous
sentence still sits his bench disgrace to his state
and a menace to the public welfare.
HE SHOULD BE INIPEACHED!

He rang the bell and waited. No
one answered. Five minutes
passed, then Haggerty went across
the street and began to patrol the
block. He smoked necessarily
and thought deeply, for he was
worried.
He was sure that yonder lived
his man, but he had never known
a case like this. The picture.
puzzle had been so wonderfully
cut and so abnormally interesting
that he had let too much time &c

There was a fine chance of the
whole thing being knocked out OF

City Autos

Mayor Fawcett's ordinance introduced in the city
council Tuesday imposing fine or jail sentence on
city officials who use automobiles belonging to the
city for purposes other than public business should
receive the endorsement of the public.
The ordinance is the result of condition that has
long existed in the city hail. especially in the police
department. Certain city officials have been labor
ing under the deusion that pleasure trips and other
forms OF amusement that an automobile provides
are included in the duties assigned to city automo
bile
Mayor Fawcett's ordinance ought to dispel that
delusiOn.
1t is just bad for city official to use city auto
for private purposes it is for the city treasurer
borrow sum of money from the treasury for private
purposes.
1t is just as bad for city official to city auto
for private purposes it is for of the commits
si0ners to take of his underlngs to his house to
NOW the lawn during office hours.
The whole idea is wrong, and Mayor .Fawcett's or
dinance is step in the right direction to this
evil.

Close to nature to fresh air and the saving play Of

CHAPTER X.
The Other House.

So many strange things had
happened that night to Forbes
that he was no longer able to
sense the Jingle known as excite
ment. He was conscious of a
blunted wonder, like that of
man on a stricken ship. He fol-
lowed Crawford into the hall and
up the first flight.

Crawford: but no mater. |

pressed the bell-button. DUTY.

anything else than bitterness in
it? Duty, moral obligation. Who
ever said duty was a pleasure to

Moral obligations. A woman
probably asleep. Forbes waited,
bending his cane back and forth,
like a fencer testing his steel
Duty was bitter. What about his?
By and by voice said sleepily:
Who is it,"
Crawford. Let me in"
Just a moment"
Another wait. She was prob
ably putting on her kimono,
doubtless the prettiest one. But
for the door-boy.
What's that?" whispered
Crawford.
II didn't speak,"
II thought | heard you say
something"
The door swung in. Forbes be-
held a young woman, pretty once
upon a time. Crawford pushed
him in.
"A friend of mine, Netty; Mr..
Forbes"
She repeated the name vaguely.
1t was quite evident that she was
half asleep.

He made gesture of protest.

She refused to see me-"

II don't care. She's silly

"Good-by, Netty. If l stay and

She tried to kiss his hand. but
he withdrew il savagely.

mo, Netty, of course not. Take

It'll drive you mad some day.

The tableau always remained
vivid in Forbes mind: the young
woman. her disordered hair, the
white throat, Crawford's bag
gard eyes.

your master returns" replied
Haggerty. The valet, whether he
knew anything or not, would be
perfectly justified in warning his
master of Haggertys presence.
Then genially, to cover the mem
ace of his words, he added:

Mason shrugged. He turned
on the low desk-lamp and began
to arrange the books and papers
on the broad flat desk. Some he
put away in drawers, which he
locked. He then put out the
light and took the easy chair by
the fire, his back in half-view.
Here Haggerty recognized the
gentleman's gentleman, the SER
want who held himself detached
from all affairs that did not con-
Germ his master personally, and
who considered it ill-bred to con-
verse with strangers of Haggerty's
caliber. 1t was a lean, serious
face; the hand which propped his
chin was long and slender.

pause.

round the room, touched the

Jillson, as Forbes asked for his
fifth hundred. "a ten-dollar

The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1914-05-14

A New York artist, young
Forbes, accepts an invitation
from his friend Jillson to a poker
party at which "deuces wild" will
be played. He arrives at the
apartment house, but new eleva-
tor boy directs him to the wrong
suite, where he is confronted by
revolver In the hand of mask
ed man in evening dress.
The man gags Forbes and ties
him in a chair. where he leaves
him. after looting a wall safe.
Forbes notes that the mans
knuckles are badly cut.
Later Forbes is found by the
occupants of the suite. Miss
Mearson and her father, when
they return from a hasty trip to
their lawyers, where they had
gone In reply to what proved to
be bogus summons.
Miss Mearson Is the heiress of
her uncle, who was a collector.
He left her his curios, with his
fortune, providing in his will
that she use the curios daily. The
suite, therefore, is full of valu-
able things, but IL Is found moth
ing has ben taken save Floren-
tine box from the safe. Even
$4,000 in currency, which Miss
Mearson expected to use the next
morning, was left by the thief.
The stolen box contained letters.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Mearson re-
returns with Jlllson, whom he
has brought from his suite on the
next floor, and, Jillson identify
ing Forbes, the two men depart
for the poker game.
Among the men playing Is
Crawford, a wealthy chap, who
spends most of his time travel
ing, and who is great favorite.
Forbes is astounded to see that
his knuckles are bleeding.
Meanwhile, Detective Haggerty,
over the supper table, tells his
wife of a number of robberies
made in wealthy homes while
entertainments are going on, "A
large reward is offered for the
capture of the Mearson thief.
Haggerty thinks he has found
