RECIPE TO
CLEAR A
PIMPLY SKIN
Pimples are Impurities Seeking an
Outlet Through Skin Pores.

Pimples, sores and boils usually re-
suit from toxins, poisons and impur-
tiles which are generated in the bow
els and then absorbed into the blood
through the very ducts which should
absorb only nourishment to sustain
the body.
1t is the function of the kidneys to
filter impurities from the blood and
cast them out in the form of urine,
bu. in many instances the bowels Gre
ate more toxins and impurities than
the kidneys can eliminate, then the
blood uses the skin pores as the next
best means of getting rid of these i'm
purities which often break out all over
the skin in the form of pimples.
The surest way to clear the skin of
these eruptions, says a noted author
ity, is to get from any pharmacy about
four ounces of Jad Salts and take a
tablespoonful in a glass of hot water
each morning before breakfast for
one week This will prevent the for
nation of toxins in the bowels. 1t also
stimulates the kidneys to normal ac-
tivity, thus coaxing them to filter the
blood of impurities and clearing the
skin of pimples.

and lemon juice, combined with lithia
Here you have a pleasant, effervescent
drink which usually makes pimples
disappear; cleanses the blood and is
excellent for the kidneys as well-Ad-

keep MILK PURE
Worth Extra Cost to Improve
Product for City.
Agricultural College Gives Ad-
vice on Care of Milk.

Manhattan, Kan, Jan. 20.-It pays
in dollars and cents to improve the
city milk supply even though it may
cost something to bring about the re-
suits, asserts George S. Hine, state
dairy commissioner.
Extra expense is not always nee
essary in the production of better
grade of milk" Mr.. Hine points out.
| IF Kansas dairymen buy pals with
small openings instead of the open
mouthed ones. they not only will pay
the same price, but will also get a
utensil that will safeguard against a
large amount of dirt falling into the
milk.
"A weIl-soldered pail or can, free
from rust, will prevent the harboring
of germs. This means that there
should be no rough seams in which
dirt can accumulate and milk curdle.
Ban on Drafty Barns.
In washing the milk pals, cans,
or bottles, they should first be rinsed
with cold water, next thoroughly
washed with warm water to which
some good washing powder has been
added, and then scalded with boiling
water. After this the can must be
inverted in pure air.
THE less draft there is in the barn
at milking time the smaller tie chance
for dust to settle in the milk. Musty
feed should never be given to the milk
luted ponds, as this will have a bad
effect on the milk. Another source of
contamination is eliminated when
after milking each COW, the milk is
taken Immediately to the milk room
and emptied from the pail
I'VE are trying in every way pos
sible to enlighten the public SO that
the better milk producer will find the
merits Of his milk appreciated by the
consumers. Owing to our present sys-
tenn of marketing the man who pro-
duces milk of better quality cannot
receive a price that is high enough
to pay for mis- care in handling the
milk properly
when we have succeeded in pass
ing suitable city ordinance, or
changing the sections covering the
milk control work, for the cities of
the state, then the man who is par
ticular that his customers should have
milk which can be trusted for its
quality, will find his appreciation for
the thought and care he gives to the
production of clean milk"

SAVE YOUR HAIR
AND BEAUTIFY IT
WITH "DANDERINE''
Spend 25 cents! Dandruff dis
appears and hair stops
coming out.
Try this! Hair gets beautiful,
wavy and thick in
few moments.

If you care for heavy hair, that
glistens with beauty and is radiant
with life; has an Incompatible soft
ness and is fluffy and lustrious, try
Danderine.
Just one application doubles the
beauty of your hair, besides it imme
diately dissolves every particle of
dandruff; you cannot have nice, heavy,
healthy hair if you have dandruff.
This destructive scurf robs the hair of
its lustre, its strength and its very life,
and if not overcome it produces a
feverishness and itching of the scalp;
the hair roots famish, loosen and die;
then the hair falls out fast.
If your hair has been neglected and
is thin, faded, dry, scraggy or too oily.
get a 25-cent bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine at any drug store or toilet
counter; apply little as directed and
ten minutes after you will say this was
the best investment you ever made.
We sincerely believe, regardless of
everything else advertised, that if you
desire soft, lustrous, beautiful hair and
lots of it-no dandrUff-no itching
scalp and no more falling hair-you
must use Knowlton's Danderine. If
eventually-why not now?-Adver-
tiSement.

Sanitary science has of late made
rapid strides with results that are of
untold blessing to humanity. The lat

Those of US who are accustomed to
feel dull and heavy when we arise,
splitting headache, Stuffy from a cold,
foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stom-
ach, can, instead, feel as fresh as
daisy by opening the sluices of the
system each morning and flushing
out the whole of the internal poison
Gus stagnant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
well, should, each morning before
breakfast, drink a glass of real hot
water with a teaspoonful of lime

The action of hot water and limestone

wonderfully invigorating 1t cleans
out all the sour lamentations, gases,

splendid appetite for breakfast. While

GAME WARDEN AT FORT RILEY.
No One Will Be Allowed to Hunt With
Arms on Z. S. Reserve.

Fort Riley, Kan, Jan. 20.-A mill
tary game warden has been appointed
by the commanding officer of this post
for the purpose of esta blishing a game
preserve on the United States reserva-
ton.
The officer detailed for the purpose
has been given instructions to protect
quail and prairie chickens, especially,
and the authority to arrest anyone
carrying firearms on the reservation,
complaints having been made that the
result of such privileges has been
abused.
"All hunting with firearms is pro-
hibited," says the order issued in con-
nection, las experience shows that it
leads to many abuses. The great
dearth of game outside the reserva-
ton makes it especially desirable that
the reservation be maintained, for a
considerable period, as a refuge for
game. in order to serve as a reservoir
for the entire locality"

CHECK ARTISTS EXPERTS.
Three Boys in Lawrence Left Guam
tity of Bad Paper Behind Them.

Lawrence, Kan, jan 2O.-When
three young strangers set out to gath
err cash by distributing bad checks
about town they paid attention to the
little details which would assure their
victims that they were all that they
purported to be-genuine college stu
dents In the first place, they were
young fellows. apparently not over II
or IS years old, and they entered the
various stores. where they left bad
paper in exchange for good merchan-
disc and cash, dressed as if ready to
go skating-one wore a stocking cap
and sweater, with skates over his
shoulder, another wore grey cap and
a short overcoat, while the third also
was dressed as if out for an evening s
fun on the ice.
And they showed the greatest nom
chalance in obtaining the merchan-
disc and money; they selected their
purchases with care, left them in the
stores while they made a little excur-
sion outside, and after some time re-
turning, remarking that it was cold on
the river, and carelessly paying for
their goods with checks considerably
in excess of the price.
