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.
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
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 theseimpurities
which often break out all over the skin
in the form of pimples
The sUrest way to clear the skin OF

TEN OF special orders.
This is the first definite movement
of the director general in his project
ed program of extensive standardiza-
ton of cars and locomotives and other
supplies and materials. as a means 81
effecting economy under government
operation. Another committee viii be
named soon to work out standards for
engines.
Mr.. McAdoo did not indicate how
many types Of cars he believes praeti-
cable under natiOnalized unit-Opera-
ton. but he predicted that the plan
eventually will save many millions OF
dollars 10 the railroads.
Another step taken today by the
director general in the organization
of government management was the
appointment of W II. Peasants of
New York to supervise operation OF
all cOastwise and Great Lakes ship

Reports of the railroad administra-
