Forest Hills, y. Y, Aug. 80. - The
first national turf tennis championship
of 1916 was won on the courts of the
West Side Club yesterday, when w.
NJ. Johnston and Clarence ]. Griffin, of
San Francisco, successfully defended
their doubles title against Maurice E.
Mclaughlin and Ward Dawson, of Los

Sd, 6-S. The winners wrested dou-
bles honors from Mclaughlin and
Bundy on the same turf a year ago.
Mclaughlin, paired up with Daw-
son, hoped to regain the crown, but
the team work of Johnston and Grif-
fin was too much for the newly form
ed paired. Except for the third set, in
which Mclaughlin flashed in his old
time form, the outcome was never in
doubt. The sympathies of the gallery
were clearly with the famous interna-
tionalist and his youthful partner.

Jack Barry Out Of Game;
Throwing Hand Is Broken
Special to the Telegraph

Boston, Mass, Aug. so. - Jack
Barry. captain and second sacker of
the Red Sox, will probably be out of
the game for the rest of the season. as
the result of being hit on his throwing
hand in the first inning of the double
header with the st. Louis Browns here
yesterday afternoon.
Manager Carrigan said last night
that Jacks hand was badly fractured
and he did not expect the star second
baseman would be able to get back
into the game again this season.
The loss of Barry, coming at this
time. when the SoX are fighting so
hard for the pennant is the worst blow
suffer.
McNally or Janvrin will probably be
placed on the middle sack.

SALTS IN HOT WATER
CLEARS PIMPLY SKIN
Says We Must Make Kidneys Clean
the Blood and Pirples
Disappear.

Pimples, sores. and boils usually re-
suit from toxins, poisons and impur-
ities 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
filter impurities from the blood and
cast them out in the form of urine, but
in many instances the bowels create
mre 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 impur-
tiles 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 authority.
is to get firm any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Salts and take table
spoonful in a glass of hot water each
morning before breakfast for one week
This will prevent the formation of
toxins In the bowels. 1t also stimu-
lates the kidneys to normal activity,
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 with litha.
Here you have a pleasant effervesc-
ent drink which usually makes pimples
disappear; cleanses the blood and is
excellent for the kidnes as well.-adv.

THE NEEDLESS STAMP TAXEs.

The war revenue tax was ingenious
ly framed. Thousands of citizens
might 20 from one years end TO the
other and scarcely be aware that such
a thing as the war tax existed. Only
occasionally, when he pays for tele-
graph or long distance telephone
message, takes out an insurance pol
icy or has dealings involving a prom
issory note, is the everyday citizen
called upon to lick one Of those
stamps by which the government
seeks to keep off the wolf. To all
seeming, the war tax bears only upon
the well-to-do.
But let not the everyday citizen be
deceived. He is subscribing to the
war tax fund every hour. In scores
of subtle ways, those who go through
the motions of paying the tax collec,
1t again from that most patient OF
burden bearers, the ultimate consum'
err.
