A bricklayer often bricks up In the

the luckiest buildings to work on; the

MARVELOUS CURE BY

"My son, who is now twenty-two
years 'of age, when he was four month*
old began to have eczema on his face,
spreading quite rapidly until be wa?

around us and some from larger places,
but no one helped him a particle.
The eczema was something terrible,
and the doctors said it was the worst
case they ever saw. At times his whole
body and face were covered, all but his
feet! I had to bandage his limbs and
arms; his scalp was just dreadful. I
used many kinds of patent medicines
before trying the Cuticura Remedies,?
all to no avail.
" A friend teased me to try Cuticura.
At last I consented, when my boy
was three years and four months
old, having had eczema all that time,
and suffering untold misery. I began to
use all three of the Cuticura Remedies;
the Cuticura Soap helped as well as

Judge Gunnison's ''Inter
ference" Discussed
A great deal of discussion is going on
in Southeastern Alaska because of the
action taken by Judge Gunnison for the
purpose of perpetuation the "moral
ware" in First judicial division which
had resulted in the cloelng of gambling
in Skagway, Juneau, Douglas and
Ketchkan, and in causing It to b? ex
tendedTo jall'the towns, Incorporated
<nd~otherwise, of the division. Judge
Gunnison his oaused notice to be serv
ed on all Ibusiness houses, which re
quire a federal|license to do business,
that no more licenses will be issued to
any business house which permits
gambling to bejjconducted on Its prem
ise*. It ia contended by some that
the court has stepped out of his way to
make regulations for the policing of
towns when oongrcss has given the
power to do that to the municipalities. 1
However, ihat is cot Judge Gunnison's '
way of looking at it. and the fact* j
seem to warrant him in the position he '
has taken The authority to issue j
license* is still vested 1c the court. He j
is charged with the responsibility of '
requiring those business houses to
which he Issues licenses to conduct
their businesses in accordance with;
law and in an orderly manner If his I
conscience and his construction of <lhe 1
law make it appear to him that It is
bis duty to take the stand he has taken,
j he Is not justly subject to adverse
| criticism. B Z.
! Those who have been indulging the
? hope that the "moral wave" would
> spend Itself and that gambling wou'd
! again become one of the recognized
j lines of activity In Southeastern Alaska
i should give Judge Gunnison praise for
! keeping them In suspense uo longer.
1 Also, Is he entitled to credit for the
I liberality of his action in giving sucb
1 notice at all instead of shutting down
! on the sporting fraternity without giv
i ing them a chance to s^ve themselves
| as a narrow minded man might have
done.
While it la said that the action of
of the court created surprise at, Juneau
it cannot be said that it did so at Skag
way, where it has been more than half
looked for.
