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

Pimples. sores and boils usually
result from toxins. poisons and i'm
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
10 filter impurities from the blood
and cast them out in the form OF
urine, but in many instances the
bowels create more toxins and i'm
purities than the kidneys can elm
mate, 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
cf these eruptions, says a noted au-
thority. IS 10 get from any phar-
macy about four 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 stimulates
the kidneys TO normal activity, thus

Jad Salts is inexpensive, harm

To Take 0nlv Small Groups.
ITO sum up, it may be said that
there will be no sudden withdrawal
of great numbers of men from the
ranks of industry and agriculture
during the coming summer but that
men will be drawn in relatively
small groups throughout the year
in such a way as to create the least
possible interference with industry

1T must be emphasized that this
is war of mechanics. The need
of the several armed forces for
men highly skilled in technical and
mechanical pursuits is greater than
in any former war. Yet this need
for specially skilled men finds the
nation under a necessity for in
creasing its production in almost
every line of industry.

called uDon the states for some ten
thousand skilled artisans and will
