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

Pimples, sores and boiIs USUALLY re-
suit from toxins. poisons and iniuuri-
ties winch are generated IN the bow
els and then absorbed into the blood
through the very duets which sbouI5
absorb only nourishment to sustain
the body.
1t IS the function OF the kidneys To
filter impurities from the blood and
east them out in the form of urine
bnt IN many instances the bowels ere
ate more toxins and impurities tha,
the kidneys can eliminate. then the
blood uses the skin pores as the next
best means Of getting rid of these inn
purities which often break out An
over the skin in the form of rimpIes
The surest way TO clear the skin of
these eruptiOns, says a noted author
lty, IS to get from any pharmacy
about four ounces Of Jad Salts am
take a teaspconful in a glass Of hot
water each morning before breakfast
for one week. This will prevent the
formation of toxins in the bowels. n
also stimulates the kidneys TO normal
activity, thus eoaxing 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 a pleasant, efferves-
cent drink which usually makes PIN
pies disappear: cleauses the blood and
IS excellent fer the kidneys as well.

Helping the Farmers.
(Rutland News.)

The Windham County Farm bureau
had the best year in 1915 that it has
had since it was established. That is
not surprising. The year 1916 will be
more productive of results than 1918.
1t IS bound to be so. if the farmers
are progressive and alive to their best
interests. The county farm bureaus
everywhere, with their experts, are 90
ing to have the same experience. The
idea is a sound one and the usefulness
OF the institution is to be cumulative.
More and better farms and more and
better crops to the acre and more com
forts and more profits for the farmers

A Shopping Temptation.
Boston JournaI.)

Purchase of the Danish West Indies,
which lately have been offered to the
United States, would cost little enough
IN money. The American offer Is years
ago, when Denmark would have parted
with her Caribbean treasures. was
only $4,000,000. If we can afford to
give Nicaragua $3,O00,000 for a theo-
retlcal canal route, we would be justi-
fed, surely, in spending three or four
times as much for a brace of COM
mercially useful islands Money is1 t
the point. If Denmark is sick of her
western islands, the United States
either needs them because of the fear
that some European nation may want
to succeed Denmark, or, because the
Monroe Doctrine is respected abroad,
does not need them. The question of
need on that score should not be diff
cult to answer.
As for shopping expedition into the
Caribbean sea merely for the purpose
of acquiring territory, this country has
learned better than to buy that way

The editorial comments inspired by
the death of Henry James are general
" about as lucid as James was, = as
lucid as mud. For instance, take this
from the Evening Post: "He was
fascinated by the dimly conscious man
ifestations of the soul, and this should
appeal to a generation that is much
concerned with the dimly conscious and
the unconscious. Our professional
psychologists are going in for the
subliminal. There is a tendency to ex-
plain the ultimate facts of life by
forces working from below the TIRES
mold. In James these forces are al
ways in play. But through their help
to explain life, they do not embody it
and realize it to the eye.''

Deficits Due to improvements.
Rutland News. !

NIeutitHu NEWS.
Rutland s financial conditions in
1915 shows up in most satisfactory
contrast with other Vermont munich
palltles. Most of the Vermont towns
and cities have been running behind.
while Rutland has been saving money.
Rutland in 1915 reduced its Indebted
ness $4,000, and Brattleboro increased
ITS $9,40O, and Bennington $1,000. To
De absolutely fair, however, it should
be stated that in the former case the
deficit IS due to money expended for
securing a creditable new railroad sra
ton and making some important street
improvements, and in the latter case
the erection of a commodious town
house on the village farm, so that in
both instances the debts were due to
making permanent improvements rather
than to extravaganza in current ex-
penditures.
