Its message is vital. “There were blemishes on my face, of external origin, and the; made me look old and haggard. They were red, hard and large. They would hurt, and when I scratched them the skin would become irritated, and I couldn’t sleep.” “But after using two cakes of Cuticura Soap and one tin of Cuticura Ointment my face was cleared again.” (Signed) Mrs. L. Whetzler, 2nd St., Floreffe, Pa., June 15, 1935. Physicians can understand such letters. The Cuticura formulas have proved their effectiveness for over half a century. Remem- ber, Cuticura Soap and Oint- ment are also for pimples, rashes, ringworm, burning of eczema and other externally AUTOPSYPLANNED INBATHTUBDEATH [Body of A. F. Ferguson, 62, Tariff Commission Expert, Is Found. An autopsy was to be performed to- day on the body of Arthur F. Fer- guson, 62, a dye and textile expert for the Federal Tariff Commission, who was found dead last night in the bath- tub of his home, 3153 Adams Mill road. Investigators said Ferguson's head and shoulders were submerged in the half-filled tub and that the rest of his body lay over the edge. Coroner A. Magruder MacDonald ordered the autopsy after he viewed the body. Ferguson's body was found by Ray ‘W. Olson, a roomer in the home, who also discovered the body of Ferguson's wife when the latter died of a heart attack on January 22 last. Neighbors said Ferguson had been despondent since the death of Mrs. Ferguson. Officers said Ferguson apparently had been -working at a complicated mathematical formula shortly before his death. Papers containing the half- finished problem were found on his bed. Police sought today to get in touch with Ferguson's relatives. The couple was childless. Olson found the body on his return from an out-of-town holiday.

Marland and Town- sendite Among Oklahoma Primary Foes. Ry the Associated Press. OKLAHOMA CITY, July 6.—Okla- homa, scene of many a turbulent political battle, will vote tomorrow n a closely contested primary which has politicians guessing as to whether blind Thomas P. Gore can win renomination for the United States Senate seat he | has occupied 19 years. Seven rivals seek Gore's place in the Democratic primary. They include | Gov. E. W. Marland, New Deal candi- date; Gomer Smith, national vice president of the Townsend old age pension movement, and Josh Lee, fiftn district Representative and a New Dealer. These have been the most active campaigners, Failure of any one to receive a ma- jority will send the two high candidates into a run-off primary July 28. The Democratic campaign for Gore's seat has been bitter, forecasting a heavy vote. As a result of campaign charges of political activity by Okla- homa W. P. A. workers, an investiga- tion of the Works Progress Adminis- tration. has been started. Oklahoma W. P. A, headquarters has banned political activity among ad- ministrative and supervisory employes. Interest has been mounting in the Republican campaign for the sena- | torial nomination. Three of the most | vigorous races were conducted by Her- | bert K. Hyde, former United States district attorney; Horace G. McKeever, Enid attorney, and Robert W. Kel-| | lough. Tulsa attorney. | In the background is a proposal {or‘ State prohibition repeal, which Mar- ¢ | 1and has indorsed and which had been | set tentatively for a vote in the July | 28 run-off primary. The real cam- paign over repeal is just getting under | way. | MAN TO FIGHT EFFORT TO HAVE DOG KILLED | Denies Pet Is One Accused of Causing Death of Boy | Swimmer. | | By tbe Assoctatea Press.
