missing as a result of the sinkiog of the
Dix which collided with the tug
.Teanie Sunday night, has been swelled
to 49. So far only one body, that of Al
bert McDonald, has been recovered.
Port Blakely, the sawmill town on
Brainbridge island, the home of prac
tically every one who was lost, is in
mourning today. Nearly every family I
at the place has lost one or more of its
members. Everybody has lost i friends.
The Commercial Club of this city has
passed stroug resolutions asking that
the marine inspectors thoroughly probe
into the cause of the accident.
All opinions seem to be that the mate
of the Dix, who was at the wheel lost
his head and turned his boat the wrong
way in his excitement.

Wtih Irritating Skin Humor? Whole

f the Time and Hair Began to Fall
Out? Wonderful Result From
APPLICATION OF
CUTICURA REMEDIES
*1 am never without Cuticura Soap
| and Cuticura Uiiitnietit since 1 tried
! them last summer. About the latter
part of Julv my whole body began to
| itch. I did not take much notice of it
at first, but it began to get worse all the
time, and then 1 began to get uneasy
and tried all kinds of batlis and other
remedies that were recommended for
skin humors; but I became worse all
the time. My hair began to fall out and
my st tehed all the time. Espe
cially at night, just as soon as I would
get in lied and get warm, my whole body
\Vould begin to itch and my finger nails
would keep it irritated, and it was not
lt>ng l^ure I could not rest night or day.
A friend asked me to try the Outicura
Remedies, and I did, and the first appli
cation helped me wonderfully. For
i about four weeks I would take a hot
bath every night and then applv the
Cuticura T)intment to my whole body;
j aiid I kept getting better, and bv the
| time I used four boxes of Cuticura I was
entirely cured, and my hair stopped
falling out, but 1 continue to use the
Cuticura on my scalp. It keeps all dan
druff out and scalp is always clean. I
always use Cuticura Ointment on my
face after shaving, and have found
nothing to equal it. I will never be
without it." I). E. Blankenship,

"I have used Cuticura Ointment for

I never found it necessary to call a doc

if used as directed. I am glad to recom
