HOW MR. TEDROE
* RID HIMSELF OF
SEVEREPIMPLES
''My face began to be covered with !
Ugly, unsightly blackheads which fes- ;
tered and swelled into large red pim
ples. Some of them would till up,' and
when opened the blackhead would come
out leaving a conspicuous pore. My j
face itched and burned so badlv that I
could not help scratching. 'I his in- '
creased the irritation so much that some !
nights I could not sleep, and my face I
was so disfigured I was ashamed to go
around.
Then I sent for a free sample of
Cuticura Soap and Ointment. It seemed
to improve the condition of my skin so
I purchased more, and only two cakes
of Cuticura Soap and two boxes of Cuti- !
cura Ointment were necessary to heal
me." (Signed) D. G. Tedroe, 407 Wal- !
nut Ave., Scottdale, Pa., Mar. 17, 1916.
Mr. Tedroe is one of thousands in
the daily experience of Cuticura. But
why endure such distress and disfigure
ment? It could not have happened if '
Cuticura Soap, and no other, had been j
used for all toilet purposes and the first '
signs of pimples, redness and roughness
soothed and healed with touches of
Cuticura Ointment. Besides they are a 1
pleasure to use, not an effort as with i
many so-called skin soaps and ointments. 1

SATURDAY - EVENING,
VIVIDLY DESCRIBE
MEMPHIS WRECK
Disaster to U. S. Warship
Which Jiilled Many Due to
Undersea Eruption
By Associated Press
New York, Sept. 9.—Vivid descrip
tions of the marine phenomenon which
caused the destruction of lh(S United
States armored cruiser Memphis, with
the loss of about forty of her crew, in
the harbor of Santo Domingo, on Au
gust 20, were given to-day by witnesses
of the* disaster who had arrived on
the steamer Iroquois. The conjecture
that the disaster was the result of an
undersea eruption was strengthened by
assertions thut nothing resembling a
gale accompanied the sudden disturb
ance.
Tho theory that the big sras which
tossed the 20,000-ton warship on the
rocks was caused by an undersea shock
transmitted from a disturbance on the
preceding day itt Dominica, British West
Indies was advanced by Captain Theo
dore De Booy, of the American Indian
Heve Foundation, an eye-witness of
the catastrophe. This theory, said
Captain De lJooy, is borne out by the
fact that Dominica lies east-southeast
of Santo Domingo and the seas threw
the Memphis in a west-northwesterly
direction ashore.
I _ "The strange phenomena," he said,
i ' was absolutely new to the experience
all who beheld it, including the na
tives of the island, accustomed as they
are to outbursts of tropical storms.
It huu been blowing a hurricane from
j 'lie southeast for two days, but on the
morning of August 2 9 the sea was
i and there was no wind. Then
I 'he sea became suddenly turbulent.
] The roadstead became an angry mass
of foaming waves in which no small
I craft could live.
Waves llit-ali Over Funnels
"As the fury of the marine disturb
ance increased the Meniphi.4 was seen
to be dragging her anchor and grad
ually being driven ashore. Finaiiy n
wave that seemed larger than any that
had preceded it lifted up the warship,
held her on its summit for a moment
and then dashed her down on a sub
merged reef within 200 yards of dry
| land. From the after ventilators of
the cruiser was pouring a cloud of
steam. Immense waves were still
breaking over her, some of them as
high as the tops of her funnels, and
the Memphis was shoved ashore until
she was onl ( v fifty yards away. An im
provised breeches buoy was put in op
eration and the men on the wrecked
ship were brought ashore, some of
them terribly burned from an explo
sion of her boilers."
Killed and Injured From
Memphis on Naval Hospital
Ship in Lower Potomac
By Associated Press
Washington. D. C\, Sept. 9.—The
naval hospital ship Solace, bringing
I pan of the injured and killed from I he
! cruiser Memphis, recently wrecked, in
San Domingo city harbor, arrived in
the lower Potomac to-day en route lo
; Washington. A report from its com
! mander to the Navy Department said
the wounded were improving and
would be transferred either to the
Norfolk or Washington hospitals for
treatment.
There are eight identified dead on
the Solace and one unidentified. The
identified are: Arthur H. Porter. Par
kers Danding, Pa.: Klphard J. Quinn,
Brooklyn, N. Y.; George W. Rud. Min

The bodies of Porter, Quinn, Town

be interred with military honors in
Arlington National Cemetery Monday.
The others will be sent to their homes

Thirteenth Infantry and
Third Field Artillery
Are Ready For Border
Mount Gretna, Pa., Sept. 9.—Practi
cally everything is in readiness at the
State recruit rendezvous for the de
parture early next week of the Thir
teenth Infantry and Third Field Ar
tillery for the Mexican border. They
have been recruited up to the required
strength and were mustered into the

by Major Shuttleworth, of the United
States Army. The artillery has re
ceived its guns, and additional equip
ment completing the outfit is expected
dally. Its departure for the border
is likely to precede that of the Thir

It was officially reported that the
quarantine established last week on
account of a death In camp from in
fantile paralysis has been modified
that only children under eighteen
years of age are not permitted to

called "In Two Flats." Three other ;
acts complete the vaudeville list. The I
headline attraction for the first halt

Charlie introduces many \
new hits of business sure to provoke j
laughter in the most staid and dlgni- ,
fled. At a ball, Charlie outdoes Vernon '
Castle as an exponent of terpsichore.
His antics in the ballroom scene are
excruciatingly funny and show him as
an eccentric dancer par excellence, j
while the battle of wits between Camp- j

farcical situations ever found in a mo
tion picture comedy.
On the same program to-dav is Billie

former chairman of the commission.
The minute, which was submitted by
Chairman Ainey, is as follows:
"April 9, 1843—September 2, 1916.
"Thus Is recorded the beginning and
the end spanning a life of remarkable
moment.
"Between these days were years of
activity, as a statesman, soldier, jurist,
historian, linguist and man of letters.
"A*mong them there were years de
voted to public service as Governor of
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,
as Judge of her courts and as a mem
ber of the Public Service Commission.
"They mark the earthly career of
the Honorable Samuel Whitaker

and expressive of their sorrow, havo

"His was a life from which radiated
rafj qualities of mind and heart; a
great sympathy for and confidence in
hl3 fellow-men predominated. His
courtesy and deference, even in differ
ence, were never failtng. In council
he was wise, in companionship he was
sympathetic, and at all times he was a
friend.
"The influence of such a life is in
calculable and its worth immeasur-

signals will be changed to purple,
effective after 6 p. m. Tuesday, Sep
tember 12. This order came yesterday
from Superintendent N. W. Smith, of
the Middle Division of the Pennsyl
vania Railroad.
This is said to be the beginning of a
change covering the entire lighting
system of signals at night in order to
get away front the excessive number
of white lights in buildings and in use
from other causes that may conflict
with the proper interpretation of sig
nals as trains float through the haze
or fog at a sixty-mile-an-hour gait.
Baltimore Division Changes
A force of signal men of the Penn
sylvania Railroad, in charge of Signal
Foreman W. K. Gemmill, has com
pleted the installation of (he three
battery wells and two signal pole foun
dations at each of the three towerp,
HI, lirillhart; U, Hanover Junction,
and GR, Glen Rock, preparatory to
putting in operation the sig
nal system on this portion ox the road.
Seventy-two storage batteries hav<
been installed, twenty-four in each of
the wells at the three locations. Ar
rangements have been made for the
removal of the signal material at Seitz
land to MP tower.
. Foreman Gemmill and gang will go
to Hollins station, near Baltimore, next
Tuesday morning to take charge of
stringing tive-line wires from HK to
SD towers, a distance of about three
miles. The Baltimore gang will assist
in doing this work, which is for a new
advance b\ock signal to be put in serv
ice shortly at SD tower at. Riderwood.

' mandlng police power in South Man
lohuria and Inner Mongolia as one of the
terms of the settlement of the incident
I at Cheng Chlatun, in Eastern Mongolia,
Japan, it was learned In Governmertt
circles here to-day, also has secretly
suggested to China that the employ
ment of Japanese military advisers at
the large Chinese centers and of Japan
ese instructors In the Chinese military
| schools would be highly desirable.-
The Chinese press says that the
I granting of the Japanese demands
would mean the abandonment of Chinese
sovereignty in Inner Mongolia and In
South Manchuria.
China's dependency upon Japan for
money, It l.s maintained In semiofficial
quarters, renders hor unablo to Ignore
either the Japanese demands or sug
gestions unless financial assistance is
found elsewhere.

Robert A. Gardner, thp title holder,
at the end of the first eighteen holes
in the final round for the amateur
golf championship of the United States

Evans played all four of the 3 pax
holes perfectly and won three of them.
The morning play was marked by
both brilliant and ragged golf. Evan's
card had four sixes on It.
Gardners putting was not as deadly
as on Thursday andi Friday. He did
not hole a single long put during the
morning. His driving was .erratic, but
when he hit squarely he outdrove
Evans. More than four thousand golf
spectators traveled over the course to
watch the match.
