"Port Townsend Set-sack.-In the
time of sadness on account of the 60,
ing away of DR.. Kuhn, the disturber
arrived in the person of Victor Smith,
who received an appointment to the
office of Collector of Customs through
the friendship of Salmon P. Chase,
SECRETARY of the Treasury. Mr.. Smith
did not permit himself to come under
the influence of the community spirit,
manifested in respect and good will
I toward neighbors. Mistaking the re

ing, he was arrogant in assuming SUI
periority and inconsiderate of the
feelings Of those whom he looked up
on as interiors. His first offense was
in patronizing. At reception ten,
dered to him, he said: I am surprised
to find so much intelligence way out
here on the very confines of our ma
tional domain. The people l meet
seem to be as intelligent as the coun
try folks in the eastern states. He
was also dictatorial in matters not

sentative of the national government

what was not his business. Dislike
became mutual, and his dislike for
Port Townsend caused him to assume
arbitrary power in removing the Gus

''The revenue cutter Shubrick was
designated to transport the records
and property pertaining to the custom

Angeles. When she came to anchor
in the harbor and men were about to
commence moving things, group Of

This field has not been mussed over
by writers to any considerable ex.

search.

Doctors and chemists agree that
there is nothing in the world that
contains just the right kind OF
vitamines needed to restore health
and strength to weak, exhausted
frail men, women and children as
Cod Liver Oil.
It is such a wonderful body
builder that physicians prescribe it
for ricketts, in children, because 1t
builds bone as well as flesh and
even helps the teeth.
But the average stomach rebels
against cod liver oil; it upsets d.

few people can take the vile stuff.
So hundreds of thousands of

anxious to again have the sparkle
of superb health show in their
