Washington, March 27 ? Gc.v. FIoj.'
gat.t today lold President Kooevelt
that he desires to make Juneau the
capital of Alaska in fact as well as in
name, and that he expects to remove
the seat of government to that place
from Sitka at once. He ca'led atten

district as soon as suitable quarters
can be arranged for that puruose. He
says such quarters can be se u red by
rental.
Gov. Hoggatt will leave for Alaska
next week. He told the president that
he cannot recommend suitable legisla
tion at the present time, but that he
will have to make a tour of the district
first.

Impossible to Get Employment, as
Face and Body Were Covered With
Itching Sores ? Scratched Till
Flesh Was Raw ? Spent Hun- |
dreds of Dollars on Doctors and
Hospitals and Grew Worse
CURED BY CUTICURA
IN FIVE WEEKS
"Since the year 1894 I have been
troubled with a very bad case of
eczema which I have spent hundreds
of dollars trying
to cure, and I went
to the hospital,
but they failed to
cure nie and it
was getting worse
all the time. Five j
weeks ago my wife
bought a box of j
Cutieura Oint- i
ment and one
cake of Cutieura
Soap, and I am
pleased to say that I am now completely
cured and well.
"It was impossible for me to get j
employment, as my face, head, and
body were covered with it. The
eczema first appeared on the top of
my head, and it had worked all the
way around down the back of my neck
and around to my throat, down my J
bodv and around the hips. It itched ]
so I would be obliged to scratch it,
and the flesh was raw.
"I would first wash the affected
parts with warm water and Cutieura
Soap, and then apply Cutieura Oint
ment and let it remain on all night, and
in the morning I would use Cutieura
Soap. I am now all well, which all
my friends can testify to, and I will be
pleased to recommend the Cutieura
Remedies to any and all persons who
wish a speedy and permanent cure of
skin diseases." Thomas M. Rossiter,
