LONDON, March 27.-All Americans
aboard the Sussex have been saved
and accounted for, a statement issued
by the American embassy today de-
clared.
Miss CalliOpe Anastasia Fennell, OF
New York, has been located Profess
sor J. NJ Baldwin, his wife and daugh-
ter, Elizabeth, were stricken from the
list Of missing on receipt of a cable
from Paris that they were safe. The
Baldwins are said to be at a private
hospital near Boulogne. where the
daughter lies seriously injured. Du-
plication by error of lists of survivors
made it appear probable this after
noon that the Sussex death toll may
be above 100. One newspaper esti-
mate today was that 10 persons lost
their lives.
Twelve bodies OF passengers and
members OF the crew have been recov-
cred. About seventy others are miss

Both the embassy and the Admiralty

Sussex disaster today. The Admiralty

salts IN HOT WATER
clears PIMPLY SKIN
Says we must make kidneys clean
the blood and pimplcs
disappear.

Pimples. sores and boils usually re-
suit from toxins. pOisons and impure
ties which are generated in the bowels
and then absorbed into the blood
through the very ducts which should
absorb only nOurishment to sustain
the body.
II is the function OF the kidneys to
alter impurities from the blood and
cast them out in the form OF urine,
but in many instances the bowels ere
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 10 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
tablespoonful in a glass OF hot water
each morning before breakfast for one
week. This will prevent the forma-
! ton OF toxins in the bowels. II also
stimulates the Kidneys TO normal ac-
tivity. thus cOaXing 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 ith lithia.
Here you have pleasant. enervescent
drink which usually axes pimples
disappear; cleanses the blood and is
excellent for the kidneys as well.

they would ask nothing better than

enormous losses to the attacking

each should be given the chance 10
choose his life work and the manner
in which he shall prepare for 1t. But
that he IS not hostile TO the idea OF
industrial education or its practical
application is shown by the fact that
more students from the college make
agriculture their choice as a perman-
ont occupation than any other CALI

"The trustees Of the college are
fully competent TO decide the issue.

tising the fact before a vacancy has
been created by resignation or other

the explosion, though an official state
ment from the French ministry OF
marine states positively that the Sus-
sex was storpedoed. The majority Of
the survivors arriving at Paris are
positive that the Sussex was a subma-
rine victim. Opinion among the sur
'vivors reaching Dover was about
equally divided between the subma-
rine and mine theory.
One report from Paris was that q
sailing vessel, presumably captured by
submariners, was used as screen TO
the submarines movements. The sail
ing vessel several passengers asserted
drew away without going to the Sus-
seX's assistance after she was struck.
The owners of the Sussex have not vet
received report from Captain Mouf-
fet, who is said to have been seriously
injured by a falling mast. In the alb
sence of this report they havet added
nothing to their early statement tina
the Sussex "met with mishap."
Ambassador Pages private secretary
reported from Dover this afternoon that
George II. Crocker is the only Ameri-
can survivor there whose condition is
serious. The others are suffering only
from the shock of the explosion.

therefore that this garbage be disposed of most advantageous
y by returning it to the soil in the form of fertilizer
In cities Of 100000 people the reduction Of garbage
by methods which furnish residue fit for fertilizer has
proved to be profitable municipal enterprise and in smaller
munes it might well be self sustaining Numerous analyses of
garbage show that the constitutes 5

AS garbage contains seventy water and 5

be about twenty-five cent Thus four tons of garbage
should be made to yield of dried tankage and sig worth Of
In the retail market the dried ankage sells for about $40
ton and at wholesale for $3.50 There has been great ucua

percentage Of tannge obtained usually twenty-five
At present however only six cities in the United States
operate their reduction plants and about twenty send their
garbage to privately owned plants These produce in the
of 100000 tons of tankace fertilizer made from l.
O45000 tons of garbage If all of the 1919 cities in the United
States which have population 30 900 should adopt this
method of garbage disposal the total yield should be from

This subject specialists in the United States Department of

be OF advantage both the American farmer and to the cities
from which he obtains his fertilizer.
