SALTS IN HO1 WATER
CLEARS P|MPLY SKIN
Says we must make kidneys clean
the blood and plsnple5
disappear.

Pimpies, sores and boils usually re.
suit from toxins, posons and impurities
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.
It is the function Of the kidneys to
filter impurities from the blood and
cast them out in the form of urine, bu.
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 prnpes.
The surest way to clear the skin OF
these eruptions says 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 morning before breakfast for one
week This will prevent the formation
of toxins1in the bowels. 1t also stimu-
lates the kidneys to norma! 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 pleasant, effervescent drink
which usually makes. pimples disappear ;
cleanses the blood and is excellent for
the kidneys as well.

WAGE INCREASES
 BOOSTED PRICES
Federal Trade Commission Says Coal Hike Is Due to
 Labor and Materials
By Associated Press

Washington, December 5.-Out of an in-
 crease of 52 cents ton in the cost of
 producing coal at the mines since 1918,
 the probable increase due to wage ad-
 vances has averaged 45 cents, according to report issued tonight by the federal
 trade commission on the cost of produc-
 ing btuminous coal during the second
 quarter of this year The report puts the
 increase to labor for the period at 5U
 per cent and the total increase for pro- duction at the mines at % per cent. The report covered the average sales
 realizations and revised costs to 566 op-
 orators producing 19 per cent of the total
 bituminous coal mined in the country.
 Sales realizations of these 566 operators, the commission said, averaged $3.h per
 ton during the second quarter of l92t and their revised cost of production at the mine was S2.66 per ton. Of this cost, s2.04 represented labor, the report con tinued, 30 cents supplies and 32 cents gen. eral expenses. The difference or margin could not be considered profit, the com mission explained, because of the rleces- sity of including figures for taxes, sell ing expenses and other items.
 Labor costs in the central competitive region which produced 33 per cent ol
 the coal mined by these operators, was r cents ton below the average labor costs for all districts, the report stated while in the southwestern region. which produced per cent of the total tonnage considered, the labor cost was 76 per cent
 ton above the average.
 Average sales realizatlons ranged from

Federal Reserve Board Expects Business Conditions to Im- prove With Minimum Bank
 and Other Failures
By Assoc.at.G Press

Washington, December 5.-The close
 of the business year of 1920 is described
 by the federal reserve board in state
 the transmission from war-produced
 conditions to the normal economic basis
 of international and industrial life. The reserve boards statement, which reviews the economic and financial sit-
 uation confronting the nation during the year, treats of present conditions
 generally in an optimistic manner, de- claring that the difficulty of transition will not be much further aggravated. It also asserts that owing to the na- tion's strong banking structure. nor
 mai situation will be restored with far | less than the usual distress usually at tendant on periods of readjustment. The board declared that previous periods of marked readjustment have
 been accompanied by sharp reductions in prices, decreases in production, ex- tensiye employment and business reac- ton, often involving bank failures This necessary consequence of the transition through which the country now is passing, the board asserts, has thus far been attended with only a min l imum of these unfavorable symptoms. l The fiscal situation both at home and abroad, however, Is still uncertain, the | board declares. This is held to be due l to the late date at which, the war was ! over in the financial sense and to un- certainty as to the best method of taxa 1 tion.
 1 In international trade return to
 normal conditions is now in progress. | the board says. With the exception of agriculture, in which the output was l the largest on record, production has been decreasing since the spring of the l year, the board states
 l Textiles. shipbuilding and very re- l gently the iron and steel industries, are | said to have exhibited tendencies of this nature. The board describes the ten- dency in the retail trades as downward, i the lessened activities occurring for the
 most part considerably later than the
 turning point in production.
