TIME IS UP
FOR ACTION
The suggestion that a mass meeting
of citizens give expression to the sentU
ment of Skagway, touching the mail
and steamship service that has embar
rassed the busines* men of the whole
north country Is met with favor every
where.
The letters following are sample! of
a number received, while the telephone
has been worked all day to the same
end.
Editor Daily Alaskan:
There are times when the reads' and
the opinions he reads, expressed in the
dally newspaper, do not agree, but I
wis'i at this time to express myselMn
hearty accord with your criticisms of
the steamship companies for the way
they are giving us the worst of it in the
mUterof the mall. The only objection
[ have to make to anything that bos
been said is that it is not strong enough
and s'ould have been said long ago.
We have put up with this thing beyond
the limit of endurance. Whoop up the
mass meeting. A Sufferer.
Editor Alaskan:
I want to second the motion as to the
mail service. It Is rotten Indeed. Go
after 'em.

Sores All Over Face and Body ?
Could Not Tell What She Looked1
Like? Unable to Sleep ? Grew
Worse Under Doctors.
CURED BY CUTICURA
IN ONE MONTH
A grateful mother, in the following
letter, tells of another of those mar
velous curcs by Cuticura: "When
my baby was four months old her
skin broke out with a humor. I took
her to a doctor, who said it was
eczema. He gave me medicine to
give her, but she kept getting worse
all the time. Her little face and body
were so covered with sores and large
scales you could not tell what she
looked like. No child ever had a
worse case. Her face was being eaten
away, and even her finger nails fell i
off. Then it itched so she could not
sleep, and for many weary nights we [
could get no rest. At last we got
Cuticura Soap and Ointment, first
bathing her in warm water with the
Soap, and then spreading on the Oint
ment with soft cloths. I saw a change:
in a week. _ The sores began to heaJfc
and she could sleep at night, and in
one month she had not one sore- oa
her face or body. Any mother hav
ing children with eczema or humors-,
will find a friend in Cut icnra Soap>
and Ointment, (signed) Mrs. Marx
Sanders, 709 Spring St., Camden, N. J.,
Aug. 14, 1904."
The foregoing statement justifies
the oft-repeated assertion that Cuti
cura Soap and Ointment afford instar.t
relief, and permit sleep for baby and
rest for tired mothers, and points to
a speedy, permanent, and economical
cure, when all else fails, in the most
torturing, disfiguring, itching, burn
ing, bleeding, scaly, crusted, and
pimply skin, and scalp humors.
Cuticura So*p, Ointment, and Pills are told throughout
the world, Potter Drug fcChem. Corp., Boiton, Sole Props.
