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

Pimples, sores and boils usually re-
suit from toxins, p0isons and inpur-
tiles which are generated IN the bow
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 eruptiOps. says a noted author
ity, is to get from any pharmacy about
four ounces of Jad Salts and take a
tablespoonful in q 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 coaxiug them to filter the
blood of impurities and clearing the
skin OF pimples.
Jad Salts is inexpensive. harmless
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia
Here you have q pleasant, effervesccnt
drink which usually makes pimples
disappear; c1eanses the blood and is
excellent for the kidneys as well.-Ad-

A NATIONAL CALAMITY
Chamber of Commerce Asks Settle
ment OF Railway Wage Row.

Washington. Feb. 1O.-A resolution
calling upon the railroads and their
employees to settle their wage con-
troversy by arbitration was adopted to-
day by the chamber of commerce of
the United tSates representing more
than 700 organizations of business men
throughout the country.
After reciting that an interruption
of traffic in the United States would
be a national calamity, and if brought
about through arbitrary action by
either side would constitute an act
inimical to public welfare and fraught
with grave consequences" the resolu-
ton declares it is the sense of the
chamber that the roads and men
should and in the interest of the pub
lie veal, must settle their differences
without recourse to measures that
would impair the public service"
The chamber also adopted a resolu-
ton calling on congress to investigate
and ascertain what industries affected
by the war should be developed and to
enact legislation to promote their

TRIBUTE TO THE TRUST
City Must Pay $1,000 Month Owing
to Increase in Price

Even If the price of cement does
not go any higher. the increase made
during the winter will cost the city
between $4,000 and $4,000 on The
work to be done this year. That is a
rough estimate made by A. r. Young,
city engineer.
Last summer the price of cement in
Topeka was seventy cents a barrel
Today it is Sis a barrel. That Is
an increase of 81 per cent in about
four months. Local dealers do not at =
tempt to account for the increase at
Il season of the year when there IS
very little demand for cement
Every individual who builds this
spring will have to pay tribute to the
power or influence responsible for the
general increase in cement prices The
city gets hit hardest because it uses
a great quantity of cement in its pave
ments. cutters and curbings and in
bridges
