Scalp Affected, Hair Began to Fall.
Hands So Disfigured She Had to

Hospitals Unable to Assure Cure,
First Application of Cuticura Soap
and Ointment Allayed Itching.
Psoriasis Has Disappeared.
-.- j
"Allow mc to say a few words in preise, i
of the Cuticura Remedies. About three years :
e?o, 1 was affected by v. bite scales on my
knees and elbows, I consulted a doctor
who treated me for ringworm. I saw no
change and consulted a specialist and he
claimed I had psoriasis. I continued treat?
ments under him for about six months until
I saw scales breaking out all over my body
save my lace. Sly Ecalp was affected, and
my hair began to lall. I then rhunged
doctors to no avail. I went to two hospi?
tals and each wanted to make a study of
the case and seemed unable to cure It or
assure me of a cure. I tried several pat?
ent medicines and was finally advised by
a friend who has used Cuticura on her
children since their birth, to purchase
the Cuticura Remedies. I purchased a cake
of Soap, the Ointment and the Resolvent.
After the first application, the itching
was allayed.
"I am still using the Soap and Ointment
and now feel that tione other is good enough
for my Ekin. The psoriasis has disappeared
and 1 everywhere feel better. My hands
were so disfigured before using the Cuti- j
cura Remedies that I had to wear gloves |
all the time. Now my body and hands are
looking fine." (Signed) Miss Sara Burnett. 2135

W1LLC0MPRQMISE
IF COURT AGREES
Litigation Growing Out of Failure
of Newport News Bank
Nears Settlement.
[Special to The Tlmes-Dlspatch.]
Newport New3, Va., February 21.?
Agreeing to pay $8.900 In settlement
for the full amount of the claims
against them, City Treasurer J. M. Cur?
tis, former City Sergeant E. W. Mil
stead and Mauley II; Barnes have ef?
fected a compromise which probably
will finally end litigation in the famous
case of the depositors of the Savings
Banlr of Newport News against that in?
stitution, its olhcers and directors. If
the court confirms the agreement en?
tered into by the receiver and counsel
for the parties, the depositors will get
an additional 15 per cent, of their
money, making a total of 40 per cent,
that they will receive of the $42,OuO
they had on deposit In the Savings
Bank of Newport News at the time the
doors of that institution were closed,
following the suicide of its president,
Irwin Tucker.
Irwin Tucker blew out his brains in
May. 1906, after losing nearly the whole
of the funds of the bank In speculation.
He left a note in which he said that he
hoped his life Insurance policies would
help to pay otf the depositors. How?
ever, nothing has ever been recovered
on the policies.
At the time the bank closed there
was hardly enough actual cash In the
vault to pay off the janitor. Suit was
filed by the depositors, through Charles
C. Berkeley, of this city, and A. C
Braxton, of Staunton, against the bhnk
and its oftlcers and directors for the
full amount of their deposits. Judge
John Ingram, of Richmond, was ap?
pointed by Governor Swanson to sit I
for Judge Barham, of the local Cor?
poration Court, in the case. After a
long drawn out trial, during which
much bitter feeling was engendered by
the attacks of counsel for the depos?
itors upon the defendants, the court
handed down an opinion holding Dr.
Clarence Porter Jones, Dr. Carter Per?
kins, A. T. PuMiam and A. C. Bristow.
directors and stockholders, liable for
the full amount of the deposits. Bris?
tow was not within the jurisdiction of
the court, but Is said to have been
practicnlly bankrupt, and the judgment
threw the other three against whom
tha verdict was rendered Into bank?
ruptcy. The plaintiffs received prac?
tically nothing from the Judgment,
In the meantime, Allen T). Jones, re?
ceiver for the defunct bank, had been
realizing on the outstanding paper of
the institution, and had refunded to
the depositors -'?"> per cent, of the total
of their money.
Counsel for the plaintiffs appealed
from the decision of Judge Ingram, in
which the court held that Milstead,
Curtis and Harnes were not directors1
of the defunct bank at the tlmo the |
doors closed, and recently a writ of;
error as to these three was granted.!
The content ion of the plaintiffs was I
Hint while Curtis, Milstead and Harnes
were not actively participating in the
bank's affairs, had not attended a di- j
rectors' meeting in years, If at all,
and did not consider themselves ilirec
tors, their names were being us*d on
the bunk's stationery, and the fact that
they had never bad their resignations
as directors accepted made them liable, i
This was the contention the Supreme j
Court would have heard had the com?
promise not been effected.
The lltlgatnon has been very costly
to nil parties concerned, and the de?
positors have spent a considerable part
of the money that has been returned
to them In prosecuting the suit.

I have assumed their normal status at
the Virginia Military Institute to-day.
The dismissed cadets have, with few
exceptions, left for their homes. No
meeting of the board of visitors lias
beeti called relative to the dismissed
cadets, and none will be called, General
Nichols stated to-day.
Tho corps of cadets was organized j
into a battalion of four companies this
afternoon, instead of six, as heretofore.
The two extra captains and first ser?
geants were placed on the staff, and
the four extra lieutenants made olflcers
in the newly formed companies.
In order to (ill vacancies caused in
the list of corporals by dismissals, six?
teen socond-class men were appointed,
who accepted, and thus showed their
willingness to maintain discipline at
the institute, as second-class men rank
as sergeants.
STUDENTS HOPE TO BE

Steps looking towards the reinstate?
ment of members of the third class
of the Virginia Military Institute, who

However, no authorltlve statement
along this line waa given out by any

that no one had approached him on
the subject, while Adjutant-General
Sale said that the Question of re?
instatement might, be taken up with
Superlntndont Nichols, though he had
heard nothing of it.
Richmond boys who were among the

yesterday, but none of them would
talk. Parents assigned the unwilling?
