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

Pimples, sores and boils usually re-
suit from toxins, poisons and impure
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.
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 impure
ties 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 a
tablespoonful in a glass of hot water
each morning before breakfast for one
week. This will prevent the forma
ton of toxins in the bowels. 1t also
stimulates the kidneys to normal ac-
tivity, 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 pleasant, efferves-
cent drink which usually makes pim-
pies disa ppear; cleanses the blood and
is excellent for the kidneys as we'll

Big Gas Rate Meeting in Min
neapOlis Next Thursday.
Conference Called by Judge
Booth of Federal Court.
P. U. C. To CLAIM ALL POWER
Seeks To Control Both DiStrib-
utOr's and Consumers Price.
Hopkins and Jackson To Rep
resent Kansas at Meet.

Future rights of the state to inter-
fere with the making of rates and dis
tribution of gas by the Kansas Nat
ural and Kansas distributing COM
panies, will be determined Thursday
at a meeting of gas attorneys in Min
neapolis. Notices of the meeting were
received in the state house today. The
conference was called by Judge VIII
bur Booth of the Minnesota United
States district court. who originally
held that the Kansas public utilities
commission had no power to fix gas
rates of the Kansas Natural
1t is probable that under the exist
ing rate of 60 cents that the Kansas
Natural will contend for at least two
thirds of the flat rate to consumers.
Such action will probably result in
further litigation over the gas troubles
in Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma.
Kansas public utilities commission
ers will probably seek to take charge
of the full rate making power as af-
fecting prices charged by the Kansas
Natural in this state. This action will
probably be taken in spite of the deci-
sion of the United States supreme
court to the effect that the Kansas
Natural is engaged in Interstate COM
merce. 1t is the theory Of the state
| that Kansas Natural mains carry gas
produced in both Oklahoma and Kan
sas and that the aspect of interstate
| commerce ceases when this situation
arises.
Some of the phases of the trouble
of Kansas Natural will probably be in
| jected into the row with the Kansas
Gas and the Wichita Gas and other
companies. Suits to enjoin enforce
! ment of new rates in Sedgwick, Cow
| ley, Harvey and Reno counties were
filed last week. Judge Prigg has is
sued an order restraining charging of
! high rates in Harvey county.
| The real interest in Kansas, tho, will
| center in the latest Interpretation of
the Kansas Natural decision. If the
state commission is authorized only
to fix rates for distributing companies
when gas is received at the gates of a
city, then the Kansas Natural charges
