ASKS A SQUARE DEAL
Indignant Citizen Protests Against
Favoring One Church.

Attorney T. D. Humphreys ad-
dressed a caustic letter to the mayor
and CITY commissioners today in which
he stated that he has been informed
zone church in Topeka was especially
favored Easter morning by being dec
grated with the plants belonging TO
the city and loaned by city official,
to the exclusion of other churches
and that the consideration the en-
plovee received for the loan of the
plants was the remittance of his
church dues for the year"
When the attention of Commissioner
Porter was called to the letter he
said: ''I know nothing of the charge
but will investigate it at once and If
the charge is true 1 will at once dis
charge the employee responsible" The
letter follows:
Topeka, Kansas, April rs, 1916
To the Mayor and Commissioners of
the City Of Topeka.
Gentlemen--It would be quite nice
idea for the city with its beautiful
collection of hot house plants, includ-
ing palms and other potted plants to
use the same each Easter Morn in
decorating the various churches of the
city. The plants are the property of
the tax payers and citizens and they
could not be put to better use on
that day upon which we commemorate
the resurrection morn.
1t is hardly fair, however, that one
church only in the city should benefit
by the use of the municipal palms and
plants, as | am informed was the case
last Sunday. 1 am informed that one
church was especially favored by be-
ing decorated with these plants, that
they were loaned by a city employee.
to the exclusion of other churches,
and that the consideration the en-
ployee received for the loan was the
remittance of his church dues for the
church year
This seems to me to be hardly fair
to the other churches, the members
of which are just as much the own
ers of the plants as the church bene-
fitting by the loan; neither is it fair
to the florists who at this time of the
year prepare in advance for this dec
Grating. Why not treat all alike Very
truly yours,

BLACKHEADS GO QUICK
BY THIS SIMPLE METHOD

Blackheads-big ones or little ones-soft
ones or hard ones-on any part Of the body,
go quick by a simple method that just dis
solves them. To do this get about two
ounces of powdered neroxin from your
druggist-sprinkle a little on a hot, wet
sponge-rub over the blackheads briskly
for a few secondhand wash off. You'll
wonder where the blackheads have gone.
The powdered neroxin and the hot water
have just dissolved them. Pinching and
squeezing blackheads only open the pores
of the skin and leave them open and I'M
sightly-and unless the blackheads are big
and soft they will not come out, while the
simple application of neroxin and water
dissolves them right out. leaving the skin
soft and the pores in their natural condi-
ton. You can get powdered neroNin at
any drug store and if you are troubled
with these unsightly blemishes you should
certainly try this simple method.-Adver-
tisement.

Various Forms
OF Headache

cit is necessary In order to treat head
aches properly to understand the causes
which produce the affection" says Dr. J. W.
Ray, of Blockton, Ala. Continuing, he says,
Physicians cannot even begin the treat
ment of a disease without knowing what
causes give rise to it, and we must remem-
Der that headache is to be treated accord-si
ing to the same rule. We must not only be
particular to give remedy intended 70
counteract the cause which produces the
headache, but we must also give q remedy
to relieve the pain until the cause of the
trouble has been removed. To answer this
purpose, anti-kamnia tablets Will be found
a most convenient and satisfactory remedy
One tablet every one to three hours gives
comfort and rest in the most severe cases
of headache, neuralgia and particularly the
headaches of women"
When we have a patient subject TO regular
attacks OF sick headache, we should caution
him to keep his bowels regular, for which
nothing is better than "Actoids." and when.
he feels the least sign of an oncoming at
tack, he should take two AK Tablets. Such
patients should always be Instructed 70
carry a few anti-kamnia tablets, SO as to
have thems ready for instant use. Thesb
tablets are prompt in action and can be
depended on to produce relief In o very
few minutes. Ask for AK Tablets.
Anti-kamnia tablets at all druggists.

URIC ACID IN MEAT

bothers.

If you must have your meat every
day, eat it, but flush your kidneys
with salts occasionally, says a noted
authority who tells us that meat forms
uric acid which almost paralyzes the
kidneys in their efforts to expel il
from the blood. They become slug
gish and weaken, then you suffer with
a dull misery in the kidney region,
sharp pains In the back or sick head
ache. dizziness, your stomach sours,
tongue is coated and when the weather
is bad you have rheumatic twinges-
The urine gets cloudy, full of sedi-
ment, the channels often get sore and
irritated, ObHging you to seek relief
two or three times during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids,
to cleanse the kidneys and flush off
the bOdy's urinous waste get four
ounces of Jad Salts from any phar-
macy here; take a tablespoonful in
glass of water before breakfast for a
few days and your kidneys will then
act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice. combined with lithia. and has
been used for generations to flush
and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to
neutralize the acids in urine, so it no
longer initiates, thus ending bladder
weakness.
