A PECULIAR SITUATION.

Ten Republican presidential
electors are to be elected in
Oklahoma next Tuesday. Here
tofore they have been selected at
the various conventions and
placed on the ballot merely as
a matter of form. But this wear
there are eleven names on the
ballot. Only ten OF them are to
be elected. All but Charles Lin
coin Mcclure were regularly
nominated by accredited Repub-
lican conventions. Mcclure went
to the Chicago convention az
a delegate from rump conven-
ton and the national commit
tee deprived him of his creden-
uals. Through some oversight,
however, he was permitted to
have his name placed on the
ballot as a candidate for presi-
Dental elector. Republicans
should keep this in mind and
vote for the other ten candi-
dates when they go to the polls
Tuesday.

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 impuri-
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.
1t 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
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 impuri-
ties 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
lty, is TO get from any pharmacy about
TOUR 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 formation
OF toxins in the bowels. 1t also stimu-
lates the kidneys to normal activity.

Jad Salts is inexpensive. harmless
and is made from the acid of grapes

BOARD DISCUSSES
NEW HIGH SCHOOL

Harrisburg's new High school prob
lem was discussed this afternoon at
the regular meeting of the directors
when the letter of the Chamber of
Commerce suggesting the names of
five well-known men as a committee
TO assist the board was read
The Chamber recommended that the
committee act with such committee or
committees as may be appointed by
President A. c. Stamm in accordance
with Mr.. Stamm's own plan.
The personnel of the committee
from the commerce body consists of
William Jennings, formerly president
of the Board of Public Works; Arthur
d. Bacon, formerly president of Sc
lect Council: William NJ. Donaldson,
Francis j. Hall, of the City Planning
Commission, and E. A. Hefflfnger of
the East End bank.
The letter is as follows: "The Cham
Der of Commerce has observed, with
much interest, the published sugges-
ton, recently made by the president of
your board that a committee of five
citizens, not members of the board,
be chosen to confer with the board on
the question of improved high school
facilities. The adoption by the board

tying tothe public. since it will evil
dence natural and proper desire
on the part of the board to take the
public into its confidence in the solu-
ton of such an important problem.
While it is true that your board
is the body chosen by the public to
administer the affairs relating to the
conduct of the public schools, and it
must take the initial and ultimate
responsibility, it is also true that in
the solution of problems so import
ant as this one. the citizens, indi-
vidually, should actively share with
your board the responsibility for such
solution as will be of greatest bene-
fit to all concerned. and it would seem
they could best express their opinion
to all the citizens through such an in
dependent representative body, as the
proposed committee.
'Inasmuch as this chamber, as
stated in its bylaws is composed of
persons interested in the advancement
of Harrisburg, and has among it's pur-
poses, the development of Harrisburg,

manner of its desire and willingness
