UNION VOTES DOWN STRIKE
President Goode and Vice-President
Puller Praise the Men, While Or
ganizer Burton Declares They
Have Made Serious Mistake.
GOODE AND FULLER TRAISE THE
MEN ; "MISTAKE," SAYS BURTON.
"The men themselves deserve the
credit for the prompt and amicable
adjustment of the difficulty. Their
better Judgment and sense of Justice
prevailed and they voted down the
resolution to strike.
"The company is pleased indeed thai
the trouble did not reach a point that
brought any inconvenience upon the'
public, pr caused any loss of time or
money to the men or the company."
President H. W. Goode of the Port
land Railway, Light ft Power Com
pany. t
"The company is highly pleased that
the difficulty was settled without in
Jury' to anyone. I thought that when
the men gave the matter sufficient
thought there would be no strike. We
hoped the "better sense of the men
would predominate, and it has." F.
I. Fuller. Vice-President and General
Manager of the Portland Railway
Company.
"The men will have occasion to
realize they made a mistake In vot
ing against a strike, and it won't be
long before they recognize their
error, either. I have advised the boys
to hold their union together and to
build It up." W. G. Burton, Interna
tional Organizer A. A. E. R. E. A.
While officials of the city traction com
panies deny that it is a result of the re
cent difficulty with Its men a substantial
increase in wages will be given to em
ployes of the Portland Railway Company.
A new schedule was announced Thursday
on the Oregon Water Power lines, which
was a substantial advance over the sal
aries formerly paid and is somewhat high
er than that now paid Portland Railwa$
operatives. It provides for first-year men
being paid 23 cents an hour, with an in
crease each year until the fifth year of
service, when 27 cents an hour will be
paid, and this figure will be continued
after the fifth year.
There is no doubt that this schedule will
be announced to become effective on the
Portland Railway lines on August 1, mak
ing salaries on the two lines uniform. A
slight difference will probably be made in
favor of men on the longer runs of the
Oregon Water Power cars. This is due to
the fact that men who run trains of cars,
with more powerful motors to control
and airbrakes to operate, are usually paid
higher wages than men who operate city
cars.
A committee from the employes of the
Portland Railway Company will confer
with Vice-President Fuller tonight on the
wage question. This committee presented
a request to Mr. Fuller Wednesday night
for a readjustment of the schedule, and
was promised consideration. It Is re
garded as assured that the scale paid on
the Portland Railway will he brought up
to the Increased salaries that become ef
fective on the O. W. P. on August 1.
Decision Xot to Strike.
There was a general feeling of relief
today among both officials and employes
of the street railways, as well as on the
part of the general public, at the decision
of the street-car union early this
morning not to call a strike. For the
past few days suburbanites had been re
pairing and oiling up old bicycles and get
ting in training for walking, for it was
expected that a strike would put most, if
not all, of the street cars out of com
mission, and force people to perform
pedestrian stunts.
The decision not to strike was only
reached after hours of talk between the
radical and conservative wings ' of the
union. 1 he result of the vote was given
in the third edition of The Oreconlan
yesierday morning at 5:15. Long and fiery
speeches were made by International Or
ganizer W. G. Burton and President C. H.
Gram, of the Slate Federation of Labor.
President Nels Sorensen. of the union,
also spoke, as did others who favored a
strike, and the recognition of the union.
Scenes such as mark political conven
tions occurred as the speakers stirred tho
men to high pitches of enthusiasm and
drew from them loud applause.
Calmer Counsels Prevail.
After the meeting had been in progress
some time calmer counsel seemed to pre
vail, and numbers of men in the employ
of the Oregon Water Power & Railway
Company, who are members of the union
but -were not in favor of a strike, used
their influence to avoid a strike, which
they said there was little hope of win
ning. The session had continued from 2:15
A. M. until 4 before the men were ready
to vote on the proposition to strike. Then
a dispute arose as to how the ballot
should be taken. Those In favor of a
strike called for a standing vote, hoping
in this way to win their point, because
many could be Influenced to stand when
the vote was called. Others stoutly con
tended for a secret ballot, that all might
record their opinions calmly, without out
side influence. It was decided to vote by
ballot.
A ballot-box was secured and placed at
the door of the hall, while the men filed
past and deposited their votes in it. It
was then taken back Into the hall and
the votes carefully counted. The result
showed 161 for a strike and 122 against.
As two-thirds of the total vote was neces
sary to carry the union for a strike, the
radical faction failed by a small number
of securing the necessary majority.
Turmoil When Vote Is Announced.
When the vote was announced pande
monium reigned. The leaders in the
movement for a strike leaped upon tables
and a dozen tried to get the ear of the
meeting at once. The men Jumped upon
chairs, the better to hear and to be
heard. Many wild plans were broached
and some pulled off badges showing em
ployment by the company, as a sign that
they would quit. Severe denunciations
of those who voted against a strike were
heard and the meeting was In a turmoil.
"Let the 161 men strike:" some one
phouted and this was greeted with cheers
from those anxious to strike. After a time
the men-were quieted and speeches were
made by Organizer W. G. Burton advising
the men to build up their union and not
give up the cause. He pointed out that
with better organization was oertain to
come consideration from the company and
that further petitions could be presented
by the union at any time.
Other talk along this line was listened
to, but the meeting soon adjourned to
allow the men to get to the barns and
take out their cars, as the meeting had
lasted so long that the early cars were
late.
Rumors are in circulation that the Port
land Railway officials intend to punish
the union by discharging the men who
have been active in forming It and In
trying to bring on a strike. Officials of
the company will not discuss this phase
of the situation, but say that statements
to this effect have been given without
authorization by the company. The an
nouncement made by President Goode of
the plans of the company to erect a club
house for the employes, coming as It
does immediately after the decision of
the men not to strike, seems to indicate
that the company will adopt a conciliatory
policy, although not weakening In the
least In its refusal to recognize the
union.
NOT A GOOD PROVIDER
Husband Made Her Earn
Says Mrs. Metzger.
Living,
According to the story told by Mabel
Grace Metzger in Judge Gantenbein's
court yesterday, William Metzger's ideas
of motherhood are something new under
the sun. She declared that when their
baby was a year old, Metzger informed
her that she should work and earn her
own living because it was a mother's
duty to support her children. And Mrs.
Metzger taught school in- order to prac
tice what her husband preached.
The Metzgers were married at the home
of the bride's parents August 7 1S98. All
was just as happy as could be for a time,
but when the husband assumed complete
control of the family's coffers, clouds be
gan, to appear. The wife declares that
her husband would not give her needed
funds. Informing her that she could
work and earn her own money. She
taught school for a time, and then
thought she would be in a position to
command a higher salary If she could
attend a normal institute for a time.
Not having the needed cash, she testi
fied that she asKed her husband to con
tribute; he is said to have told her that
he would do so If she would promise
to teach the coming year and pay him
back in full.
Metzger is a student at the State
University. Mrs. Metzger was allowed
the divorce asked for, the custody of her
year-old daughter and $10 a month
alimony.
After having been abused and mis
treated for two score years, Johanna Kay
was granted a divorce from Hans Kay.
The couple was married at Christiana,
Norway, during 1865, and Mrs Kay de
clares that her husband began to abuse
her one year after they were wedded.
She said he drank heavily, and when in
toxicated would beat and assault his
wife. On July 1, he is said to have
knocked her against a stove by striking
her in the face with a pitcher. She then
sued for a divorce.
Viola Bailey was granted a legal sep
aration from Frank E. Bailey, it having
been proved that he had committed a
statutory crime. The Baileys were mar
ried in Minneapolis. Minn., January 1,
3903. A 2-year-old son was awarded to
his mother.
Mrs. A. M. Smith would not live with
Henry O. Smith, so the latter secured a
divorce yesterday. The couple was mar
ried at Vancouver, Wash., November 29,
1902, and Mrs. Smith is said to have left
her husband during April. 1905, He de
clares that he had often asked her to
return, but she refused.
BOTH SIDES ARE PLEASED.
Judge Frazer Decides Maegly Junc
tion Railroad Dispute.
Judge Frazer yesterday decided the
Maegly Junction crossing dispute that has
been a bone of contention between the
Hill and Harriman railway construction
forces since last December. And. strange
as It may seem, the decision pleases both
parties, each claiming that a victory has
been won by their company. As Judge
Frazer found that there is a difference of
10. SI feet between the surveys made by
the two roads, while a space of 22 feet is
needed to allow for the crossing of trains,
the court held that the Portland & Seattle
Railway must raise its grade .seven feet
while the O. R. & N. must lower its tracks
3.61 feet.
As the O. R. & N. also sued for the con
demnation of a right of way across prop
erty owned by the Portland & Seattle,
the Jurist decided that the Harriman com
pany should pay 5200 for the land used
for trackage and $3300 damages. The O.
R. & N.. which was the plaintiff in the
suit decided, ie given only a strip 32 feet
wide across the defendant's property, it
having sued for a 100-foot tract.
This lawsuit is said to be the result of
the Harriman forces trying to block
Hill's entrance to Portland. It was al
leged during the trial that the O. R. &
N. Co. did not make a survey of its pro
posed branch to Troutdale. which passes
Maegly Junction, until it had learned that
the line of the Portland. & Seattle was to
cross along this route. But while this
statement was made several times during
the trial, it was stoutly contended by W.
"W. Cotton and Arthur C. Spencer, attor
neys for the O. R. & N. Co., that the
Troutdale line was proposed in good faith
by the Harriman interests in order to im
prove local railway transportation.
When asked what he thought of the
decision, Charles H. Carey, local counsel
for the Hill interests, said:
"If the O. R. & N. people had made us
the same proposition that the court has
found, we would gladly have accepted it.
We tried to get thenvto lower their track
and share the expense, but they would
not. We have gained eur point.'
Arthur C. Spencer, assistant general
counsel for the O. R. & N., said:
"We have gained a big victory, and do
not intend to appeal the case."
This is the first time that a crossing
grade dispute question has come betfore
an Oregon court. The law provides tkat a
commission of three be appointed toiass
on a dispute of this sort, but the attor
neys for both of the warring railroads
decided to leave the matter to Judge Fra
zer. He declared from the bench, before
announcing his decision, that he feared
that it would not suit either party.

FAR
COMMISSION
WINDS UP AFFAIRS
State Board of the Lewis and
Clark Exposition Holds
Last Meeting.
FINAL REPORTS RENDERED
Resolutions Passed Charging the
Corporation With Failure to
Fulfill Obligations Regard
ing Memorial Building.
Reports of President Jefferson Myers
and Secretary Edmond C. Glltner. of the
State Commission of the Lewis and Clark
Exposition, were read at the final meeting
of that body last evening. The meeting
practically wound up the business part
of the great Fair, as far as the State
Commission is concerned. President My
ers" report will be filed with Governor
George E. Chamberlain today. It is a
lengthy affair and covers details of the
Exposition from beginning to end.
The commission adopted resolutions to
the effect that the Lewis and Clark Cor
poration, in the matter of co-operation
toward t he erection of the Lewis and
Clark Memorial building, assumed obliga
tions wh ?n it accepted the aid of the state
that have no: been fulfilled, and that the
commission was ready to undertake its
part in the construction of the building.
In his report President Myers states
that the commission was Indebted to a
large number of individuals, companies
and organizations for their hearty co
operation and assistance while preparing
for the Exposition and during its exist
ence. Among those who are mentioned
are the following: George E. Chamber
lain, Governor of Oregon; J. C. Ainsworth,
president of the United States National
Bank; D. R. Francis, president of the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition; Thomas
H. Carter, president of the National Com
mission of the Louisiana Purchase Expo
sition ; George W. McBride, member of
the National Commission ; Mrs. J. B.
Montgomery, member of the National
Commission; Mrs. George W. McBride,
Mrs. W. H. Wehrung. William M. Geddes,
custodian of the Government building;
Hon. H. W. Scott, the various state offi
cials, officers and men of the Centennial
Guards, officers and men of the Portland
Fire Department, labor organizations of
the state and city, the street railroad em
ployes, the press in general, and the citi
zens of Portland and the State of Oregon.
Management of Exposition.
With regard to the management of the
Exposition. President Myers has the fol
lowing to say in his report:
The management of the Exposition Jointly
by the state and corporation was, to a cer
tain extent, quite satisfactory, but with the
exception that it became difficult at times
to determine just what was intended by the
provisions of the act creating this com
mission; and I might suggest that It Is a
matter of considerable Importance that an
act of this kind should be so drawn that no
difficulty may be had In determining Just
what the language Intends. I believe the
principle of the authorization of the Expo
sition by the state is the right one. In such
case the people of the state feel a certain re
sponsibility and public sentiment will pre
vent any unreasonable conditions. There
has never been a complaint received by me
or ;any member or officer of the commis
sion from any visitor criticising the people
of Oregon In the management of the Expo
sition as to overcharges or any other un
reasonable matter.
Fair's Debt to Railroads.
Regarding the railroad and steamship
companies, which took an active part in
the Exposition, the president's report
has this to say :
This commission Is under many obliga
tions toward the officers of the railroad and
steamship lines of our state. The saving m
freight and passenger fares which were do
nated by them to the commission will ex
ceed ?6000. A. L. Craig, of the O. R. & N.
Co. and the Southern Pacific lines of Ore
gon, and A. D. Charlton, of the Northern Pa
cific lines In Portland, are entitled to spe
cial mention for their assistance in obtain
ing free passenger rates for the work within
the state and 14 free tickets for the help, at
St. Louis. R. B. Miller, of the freight de
partment of the O. R. & X. Co., is entitled
to special thanks for assistance in granting
extremely low and many Tree freight rates
for transportation of Oregon exhibits. To
the general manager of the Harriman lines
of Oregon, A. L. Mohler. E. E. Calvin, Mr.
Worthington and J. P. O'Brien, we are un
der special obligations for advice and assist
ance at all times in the matter of transpor
tation. To the Sumpter Valley Railroad, Co
lumbia Southern Railway, Coos Bay & East
ern Railroad. Corvallis & Eastern. Astoria &
Columbia River Railroad and tne O. W. P. &
R. R. Co. we are under special obligations
for the service rendered free to the state In
passenger and freight transportation, and to
many other steamboat lines and various
other public carriers we are under obligation,
and I might state that no request was ever
made in "behalf of the state from any of the
public carriers within our state but what it
has been granted without the least trouble
or annoyance or delay In any way.
The woifderful results attained by this Ex
position in every department were occasioned
by that true principle of patriotism which
determined the people of our state in every
capacity to make it grand success, and
hence the succeaa of Is Lewis and Clark
Exposition Is due to the conduct of no man
or set of men and officials, but solely to the
loyalty of the people of Oregon and the
Northwest States, who were ever ready to
back up their officials In everything pos
sible to arrive at this end.
Benefits Derived From Fair.
In conclusion. President Myers' report
deals with the great benefits derived by
the people of Oregon as a result of the
Exposition, the value of good exhibits,
publications for advertising purposes and
the profits participated in by the .state
as a result of the Fair. The parts of the
report 'covering these details are as fol
lows: Tin effect of the Lewis and Clark Exposition
cannot but be one of great value to the State
of Orecon and to every Pacific Coast state.
It brought to our Pacific shores over 135.000
people from east of the Missouri River during
the year 1905. The acquaintances formed by
visitors and the knowledge gained through
these expositions makes them among the
greatest schools of progress that are now de
veloping this country. There seems to be no
limit to this method of exploitation, and I
doubt If a more effective one could be had.
I might suggest that it certainly appears
that no exposition should ever expend the
vast sum of money necessary for its con
struction without procuring title to the land
upon which It is built, and that all buildings
and equipments should be constructed on such
a substantial ba?ls that they might be used
at the close of the exposition for such public
purposes as would render most benefit to the
people of the particular city or state wherein
It Is held.
I do not believe that as much good Is ob
tained directly from a good collection of ex
hibits as there is from the direct intercourse
and acquaintanceship of the various persons
visiting these expositions, and I do not suggest
an extremely large exhibit from a state at
an exposition, but that the most attractive
and ineresting of what is possessed be put
forward. There is no doubt the benefit which
accrues through the exhibitor who Is lucky
enough to receive an award for his products,
for this has a tendency to Increase his en
thusiasm and stimulate him to do better, and
therefore Is apt to Improve methods Id his
community. I do not advocate extravagant
appropriations, but by all means provide a
suitable entertainment fund and enough for
other incidentals necessary to place your state
on a par with others, that It may receive
proper consideration for Its expenditure In the
various departments.
The matter of publications Is one of great
importance, as much money is being spent
In a wasteful manner ard for material which
does no good. After Investigation at the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition 1 am of the
opinion that an advertising publication should
consist of a limited number of essential facts
that cannot be disputed, well illustrated, not
over 65 pages; in length, and of a sise that can
easily be carried In the pocket. I found that
large books as a rule arc not carried far
from the place where they are obtained, but
become a burden and are cast aside, while
the smaller ones are usually carried home If
made reasonably attractive. More money Ut
wasted by states in this item than for any
thing else for which appropriations are used.
No Dividend for State.
At the close of the Exposition the commis
sion made a written demand on the proper
officials of the corporation for an accounting
and 1 ts sha re of tho profi tm I n proportion to
the capital Invested in the Hocpoaltion. ThMi
officials refused to comply, und the matter
was referred to the Attorney-General of the
state, who decided that the legal right of
the state to such accounting and 'participation
was In doubt under the act. While 1 would
not contend that the state can oollet thU.
I am quite certain that If such question ha4
arisen at the lime of the enactment of the
law a definite provision would havn ht nmi
to that effect. The prlnoUr is right und
established at th Chicago rxpovitloii, uml i
think that the titato of Oregon huM have
received Its part of the profit from tie Lswlff
and Clark Exposition In proportion to III
pendi lures.
MURDERED 0N THE TRAIL
Two Emigrants lYom OfOftfn An
Killed by Tramps In Wvomtiitf.
CHEYENNE, Wyo., July 20. Th
mystery of the finding of two dt'rld
wagons, blood-stamed and bullot-rld-dled,
and the mangled remains of a
man and a boy, has been partially
cleared by the Identification of tho vic
tims as Archie Irvine, of Corftos, Okla.,
and his son Thomas. They were rela
tives of Cheyenne people,.who hnd been
expecting them here from Baker City,
Or. The murders, it is believed, were
committed by tramps, who killed the
father first, and when the son returned
over the trail seeking him, killed him
also, taking one wagon to Hanna,
Wyo., near which place it was deserted.
The last heard of the Irvines alive
was at Point of Rocks, west of Raw
lins, Wyo. The finding of a quantity
of woman's clothing in the wagon is
explained by the fact that Mrs. Irvine
was a consumptive and the trip by
wagon was being made for her benefit.
Shortly before the murders she left
the party and went by train to Okla
homa, where she now is. Although
both corpses, the faces of which were
blown away to prevent identification,
were found but a few days .go, the
murders were probably committed a
month or more ago, and there is now
no clew by which to trace the mur
derers. LEFT BAKER CITY IX APRIL

MODEL CLUB FOR
STREET-
Company to Provide Place of
Recreation for Its
Employes.
NO EXPENSE TO THE MEN
(.niiirirrn May Be Located in Office
IliillilliiK to Be Erected by Port
land Traction, Light &
Power Company.
Carmen and electricians in the employ
of the Portland Railway, Light & Power
Company are to have a club for their
use while off duty that will be a model
of its kind. Rooms affording all the com
forts of a llrst-clasd club will be fitted
up at the expense of the company and
will be turned over to the employes.
A meeting between the officials of the
company and a committee of employes
will soon be held to confer regarding a
location.
Ultimately the club will find a home
in the office building that the company
proposes to erect for ail purposes of the
corporation within the next two years.
Until this structure is completed, tem
porary clubrooms will be secured for the
crmfort of the men.
The announcement of the intention of
the company to provide such quarters
for its men was made yesterday by Pres
ident H, W. Goode. The matter has been
under consideration for some time and it
has now reached such a stage that a
definite statement can be made.
"While in the East last month, the mat
ter was taken up with Eastern directors
of the company by Vice-President Fuller
and myself." said President Goode, "and
it was decided to arrange for a clubhouse
or rooms for the use of all the men em
ployed by the company. The scheme
was not fully developed while we were
In the East, but we have been working on
the plans since that time and the inten
tion is to find a suitable location and
go ahead with the project at once.
"This sort of thing is common in the
larger cities of the country for the use
of the employes of the railroad com
panies and is very popular with the men.
Until the traction and power interests
of the city were merged, such a project
was hardly feasible, but now that they
have been brought under one head, a
home will be provided for all the em
ployes of the allied corporations. The
idea is to give the men reading rooms,
a gymnasium, bowling alleys, bathrooms
provided with both tub and shower baths,
and in fact everything in the way of con
veniences that goes with a modern club
of this type. There will also be a large
meeting room, capable of seating the en
tire membership, which is expected to
be 1000 or more
"We desire to' find a location as nearly
central as possible so as to make the
rooms easily acccessible to the men from
both sides of the river. It is possible
we may take up temporary quarters for
the first year or two until some final
decision is reached in regard to the new
building the company proposes to erect
for all office purposes, including quarters
for the club."
The social features of the proposed
club will be important in the scheme now
being developed by the company. In
other cities where similar organizations
have been formed, the men give frequent
entertainments of various kinds. Stag
parties and smokers, as well as parties
which are attended by the wives and
women friends of the men, are frequent.
There is also a lecture course in the plan
which will provide frequent lectures by
eminent engineers from the East, as well
as regular lectures by engineers of the
company, the idea being to acquaint the
men fully with the apparatus with which
they work and to give practical technical
instruction in details. Mechanics, track

Increase their technical knowledge.
The quarters of the proposed club will
be fitted up in a modern and comfortable
way with the best appointments at the
expense of the company. The men will
be invited to use the club during the
hours when they are off duty, either day
or night, and in addition the men will
have a meeting place whenever desired.
The reading rooms of the club will pro

BOOM ROCHE FOR PRESIDENT
Big Delegation to Attend Conven
tion of Passenger Agents.
On account of the fact that M. J. Roche,
traveling passenger agent for the Denver
& Rio Grande, and one of the most pop
ular railroaders in. the Northwest, Is a
candidate for presidency of the American
Association of Traveling Passenger
Agents, a large delegation of railroad men
will go from Portland and other North
western cities to the annual convention
to help elect Mr. Roche. Traveling pas
senger agents will meet at French Lick
and West Baden Springs, Indiana, early
in October, and already preparations are.
under way for the journey.
There will be at least two special Pull
'man cars from Portland and the Sound,
in which Oregonians will be largely rep
resented. Perhaps more interest is being
taken locally in the coming session than
in any former convetion, largely because
Mr. Roche will undoubtedly be elected.
Another reason for a arge attendance
from the Northwest is the fact that last
year's convention was held in Portland
and the members of the association did
splendid work in adding to the attendance
at the Lewis and Clark Exposition. Port
landers then recognized as never before
the value of the organization in adver
tising a section of the country, and they
appreciated the good work done for Port
land and the Northwest.
When the time comes for the conven
tion, there is likely to be a large addition
to the present list of passenger traffic
men who will go from this territory.
Those who have already announced they
will make the trip are: W. C. McBride.
general agent for the Denver & Rio
Grande, and wife; J. W. Casey, traveling
passenger agent for the St. Paul, and
wife; M. J. Roche, traveling passenger
agent for the Denver & Rio Grande; J.
H. O'Neill, traveling passenger agent fox
the O. R. & N.; B. H. Trumbull, commer
cial agent for the Illinois Central, and
wife; Tom Richardson, manager of the
Commercial Club, and wife; R. V. Holder,
general agent for the Northwestern; all
of Portland; J. Ross Nagel, traveling pas
senger agent for the O. R. & N.. Seattle,
and wife; H. C. Munson, city passenger
agent for the O. R. & N. at Spokane; H.
M. MacGregor, traveling passenger agent
for the O. R. & N. at San Francisco; and
Frank W. Parker, general agent for the
Northwestern at Seattle.
M. J. Roche Is now vice-president of
the association, and his friends declare
that he will win out in a walk when his
name is presented to the convention.
Portlanders are confident of bringing
home the presidency with them, and this
will probably mean that next year's ses
sion of the convention will be held on
this Coast.

Suffered Tremendous Itching Over

Soreness and Excruciating Pains
j A Western Lady's
WONDERFUL CURE BY
CUTICURA REMEDIES
"Last year at this time I suffered
with a tremendous itching on my
back, which grew worse and worse, un
til it spread over the whole body, and
only my face and hands were free.
For four months or so I suffered tha
torments of the damned, and I had to
scratch, scratch, scratch, until I bled.
At night when I went to bed things
got worse, and I had at times to get
up and scratch my body all over, until
-1 was as sore as could be, and until I
suffered excruciating pains. I did not
know what it was, and resorted to a
Dumber of blood purifiers, using at
times also Cuticura Soap. They told
me then that I was suffering from
eczema. Then I made up my mind
that I would also use Cuticura Oint
ment and Cuticura Resolvent. I used
them according to instructions, and very
soon indeed I was greatly relieved. I
continued until well, and now I am
ready to recommend theCuticura Rem
edies to any one who suffers as did yout
obedient servant. Mrs. Mary Metzger,
Sweetwater, Okla., June 28, 1905."
