SALTS IN hot WATER
CLEARS P|MPLY Skin
SAYS WE MUST MAKE KIDNEYS
CLEAN THE BLOOD AND PM
PIES DISAPPEAR.

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.
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 pimples.
The surest way to clear the skin OF
these eruptiohs, says a noted authority
is to get from any pharmacy about
four ounces of Jad Salts and take a
tablespoonful in a glass of hot water
each norning before breakfast for one
week. This will prevent the formation
81 toxins in the bowels. 1t also stimu-
lates 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 lithia
Here you have a pleasant. effervescent
drink which usually makes pimples
disappear: cleanses the blood and is
excellent for the kidneys as well.

Davenport, March 12.-Do abnormal
conditions exist at the Iowa state Or
phans Home in Davenport? Com
plants. reports and rumors say there
are.
But as usual In such instances, there
are two sides to the case. with both
sides as divergent as can be.
Wild rumors Of mismanagement' OF
abuse OF the children, even to the
extent of cruelties, have from time 10
time been circulated quite extensively
during the past few months.
1t was ascertained at the start that
friction, which was gradually deepen
ing and intensifying. existed between
Superintendent Fred l.. Mahannah ana
several Of the state agents working OUT
Of the home. 1t is no secret that these
agents have filed reports with the state
board of control seeking the removal OF
the superintendent on the alleged
grounds of incompetency. But TIE state
board has so far not seen mt to take
action.
1t is also evident that the superin :
tendent has made other enemies who
have lost no time or opportunity to
circulate the unfavorable reports.
Some Things Wrong.
There is no denying the fact that
some ~of the conditions which have
prevailed at the home are not what
they should be. But Superintendent
Mahannah explains that situation
brought about by the war. with scar
city of help. etc, are responsible Tor
most Of these unfavorable conditions
Other conditions, however. such as
compelling the children, large and
small, to arise at the unseeming hour OF
5 o'clock in the morning. is not SO
easily explained away. Why the chill
dren are kept in school only three to
three and one half hours each day and
made to work much longer hours, also
appears to be open to criticism. But
it is said these are rules made by the
state to govern this institution.
Superintendent Mahannah states
that by reason of the shortage Of labor
he has been obliged to keep the chill
dren out Of school on numerous occa-
sions to perform work about the insti-
tuition. This was particularly true last
fall when he had 800 bushels Of pota :
toes to dig and no men available.
The discharge of matron. Mrs.
Folander, who has two sons in the
service, a recent occurrence, has
caused considerable criticism. Mrs
Folander claims she was discharged
without just cause.

THE SHERIFF WAS RIGHT.

Who Died in Omaha.

Who Died in Omaha.
Muscatine, March 12.-When Sheriff
Wiley was notified Of the death of
Anna Mohr recently. he remarked.
They'd better place a guard over her
grave for a few weeks, or she'll get
away"
Sheriff Wiley was right.
Word from Grand Island, Neb., re-
ceived by the sheriff this morning,
shows that it was Adolphinc. probably
a sister in the same line Of business.
but not Anna Mohr. who died.
Police officials, alien registrars and
the sherifrs office at Grand Island af-
ter closely comparing photographs and
bertillion measurements of Anna Mohr.
with those OF Adolphine Mohr, decided
they were not the same person.
In speaking of the comparison, til
letter received says.
THE picture Of Adolphine Mohr was
taken while she was being registered
as an alien enemy. There is a general
resemblance between the two, although
the eyebrows Of the woman who died
here are somewhat higher. and the
eyes seem heavier. The Mrs. Mohr
whom we had in custody recently was
light complexioned rather than dark.
and would not weigh more than 140
pounds. The size and age were about
the same, although I believe Anna
Mohr was somewhat older.
Evidently the similarity extended TO
matters of reliability. The woman
here, Adolphine Mohr. came to this
city with directions, SO she said, to ap-
ply to Lutheran minister. I under
stand your Anna Mohr also followed

out some such general scheme. with
tho same results ~ we're achieved
here"
Anna Mohrs appearance here came
some three or four years ago, when
she achieved notoricty by swindiinE a
local clergyman cut OF $500. Later she
escaped from Jail by a clever ruse
worked on the wife OF Sheriff Wiley.
She also escaped from officers Mt
Burlington. Mason city and Spring
field, H., but has not been heard OF
for more than year.
Adolphine Mohr startled the resi-
dents OF several Nebra ska cities by
several tricks similar in every detail
to those OF Anna Mohr here and when
notified of the death OF Adolphine
Mohr at Omaha recently local officials
believed II was the same woman who
had been here.
