changes in Japanese administrative

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

PimpIes, sores and boils usually re-
suit from toxins, poisons and impur-
titles which are generated in the bowels
and then absorbed into the blood thru
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 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 these impurities
which often break out all over the skin
in the form Of pinples.
The surest way to clear the skin OF
these eruptions, says a noted authority.
is to get from any pharmacy about
four. ounces Of Jad Salts and take a
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 slim
ulates the kidneys to normal 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 llthla.
Here YOU have a pleasant. effervescent
drink, which usually makes pimples
disappear, cleanses the blood, and Is
excellent for the kidneys as well.

Waterloo. Jarf 3l.--Exccptionally
severe weather is working extensive
hardships on wild animal life.
The Cedar river now is at the low
est stage for several years during win

tributaries where fish and muskrats
were wont to thrive has been frozen to
the bottom. The finny tribe is rapidly
thinning by suffocation. their supply
of oxygen obtained in water being ab-
sorbed into the ice.
Muskrats that have regular feeding
places in clam beds can no longer OBJ
tain their supply and those not pre-
vented by ice from emerging from their
homes along the river banks are try
ing to subsist upon bark Of trees and
shrubbery. This diet or lack OF 1t,
has thinned the ranks like a plague.
Chickadees and iuncos. insectivcrous
birds that winter in this latitude. are
eking out an existence with great diff
Guilty. Readers are requested to fastcn
a bit Of suet or piece or corn bread
or similar food upon limbs or in places
out of reach of cats and dogs so the
birds acclimated to Iowa may exist
thru the remainder of the winter.
Another form of wild life that IS
suffering is the rabbit. Heavy SHOWS
