From the Laurel Register
Under the heading "A Lost Oppor.

lican OF GEORGETOWN, criticises Governor
Townsend and his administration In Its
Issue OF last week. Claiming that the
Governor had on more than one occa-
sion acknowledged that his nomination
was due TO the Independent Republic
cans, the editor comments rather caus-
tically upon various appointments which
the Governor has made and come to
the conclusion that he has broken faith
with that element OF the party, by
making appointments from the ranks
OF the Organization
Of course It is not at all di1lcult to
understand the reasoning which
prompts this criticism Those familiar
with politics in Delaware appreciate the
fact that the Governor has not always
had "easy sailing" IN making some Of
his appointment. With both the Inde-
pendents and the Organization demand

Salts IN Hot Water
Clears Pimply Skin
Says we must make kidneys
clean the blood, and pim-
Piles disappear.

Pimp1es, sores and boils usually
result from toxins, poisons and inn
purities 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 instance> the bowels Gre
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
impurities 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
ity, is to get from any pharmacy
about four ounces of Jad Salts and
take tablespoonful in glass of hot
water each morning before breakfast
for one week. This will prevent the
formation of toxins in the bowels.
1t also stimulates the kidneys to nor
NAL 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 lithia.
Here you have a pleasant, efferves-
cent drink which usually makes pim-
pies disappear; cleanses the blood
and is excellent for the kidneys as
well.-adv.

HOW DOCTORS TREAT
COLDS AND GRIPPE

Ask any physician or druggist and
he will tell you that the best and only
effective remedy for a bad cold, sore
throat or la grippe is what he calls
"a brisk calomel purge" which means
a big dose of calomel at bed time.
But as the old style calomel has
some very unpleasant and dangerous
qualities physicians and druggists
are now recommending the improved
nausealess calomel, called "Calotabs"
which is purified and refined from the
sickening and dangerous effects and
whose medicinal virtues are vastly
improved.
One Calotab on the tongue at bed
time with swallow of water,-that's
all. No salts, no nausea nor the
slightest interference with your diet.
pleasures or work. Next morning
your cold has vanished and your en-.
tire system is purified and refreshed
Calotabs are sold only in original
sealed packages, price thirty-five
cents. Your druggist guarantees
Calotabs by refunding the price if
you are not delighted.-adv.

There was a breathless moment
as Warren reached the place just as
the boy sank for the second time. A
quick dive-the waves crossed over
them both. Then Warren was swim

the boy back with him.
Helen did not scream or move. She
had been powerless to do either. And
it was not until Warren had reached
the beach and laid down the half
conscious boy amid the crowd that
surrounded him, that Helen ran sob
bling toward him.
He'll be all right in a few minutes
Warren informed them CURLY. "Peo-
pie ought to have more sense than
to let a boy of that size dive around
here"
Ignoring the chorus OF praise and
congratulations, he picked up his coat
and shoes, pushed through the clus-
tering, admiring throng and stalled
rapidly up the beach.
Still half sobbing Helen ran after
him, "Oh, Warren, Warren" she cried,
as she chung to his arm. unmindful of
the water that dripped from him.

But this time Helen was not to be

unwilling arm, sobbing about how
wonderful, how brave he had been:
how all the others had only stood
gaping. while he had staked his life
to save the boy.
"Risked my life?" he scoffed. "In

nobody else went in, it was because
they didn't see him. Now, for Heav-
ems sake stop your sniffling, and don't
talk about it. All / want is some

AS they reached the hotel the peo-
pie on the veranda ran down to meet
him, but he pushed them aside with
a brusque "oh, nothing. nothing at
all.
Helen was forced to make hurried
explanations as he broke away from
her and ran dripping up the steps.
She followed as quickly as they would
let her, laid out his dry clothes, pre-
pared his bath, and lowered about
him with anxious solicitude.
