DRINK HOT WAITER
IF YOU DESIRE A
ROSY COMlPLlBXlON
Says we can't help but look
better and feel better
after an inside bath.

To look ones best and feel ones best
Is to enjoy an inside bath each morn
ing to flush from the system the pre-
vious days waste, sour fermentations
and poisonous toxins before 1t is alb
sorbed into the blood. Just as coal.
when it burns, leaves behind a GER
tain amount of incombustible material
in the form of ashes, so the food and
drink taken each day leave in the ALI
mentary organs a certain amount of
indigestible material, which if not
eliminated, form toxins and poisons
which are then sucked into the blood
through the very ducts which are in
ended to suck In only nourishment
Q sustain the body.
If you want to see the glow Of
ealthy bloom In your cheeks, to see
our skin get clearer and clearer, you
re told to drink every morning upon
rising, glass of hot water with a
easpoonful of limestone phosphate In
L. which is harmless means of wash
ngs the waste material and toxins

Men and women with sallow skins,

phated hot water drinking and are
assured of very pronounced results in
me or two weeks.
A quarter pound of limestone phoe-
3hate costs very little at the drug
store but is sufficient to demonstrate
that just as soap and hot water
cleanses, purifies and freshens the
skin on the outside, so hot water and
limestone phosphate act on the inside

KEEP URIC ACID
OUT OF JOINTS
Tells Rheumatism Sufferers to
Eat Less Meat and Take
Salts.

Rheumatism is easier to avoid than
to cure, states a well-known authority.
We are advised to dress warmly; keep
The feet dry; avoid exposure; eat less
meat but drink plenty of good water.
Rheumatism is a direct result of
eating too much meat and other rich
foods that produce uric acid which is
absorbed into the blood 1t is the
function of the kidneys 10 filter this
acid from the blood and cast it out IN
1 the urine; the pores Of the skin are
lalso a means of freeing the blood of
this in1purity. In damp and chilly
cold weather the skin pores are closed
thus forcing the kidneys to do double
work, they become weak and sluggish
and fail to eliminate the uric acid
which keeps accommodating and circulat-
ing through the system, eventually set
Ting N the joints and muscles causing
stiffness, soreness and pain called rheu-
matism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Salts; put tablespoon
ful in a glass of water and drink before
breakfast each morning for a week.
This is sard to eliminate uric acid bv

action thus Kidding the blood of these
impurities.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless and
is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia and
IS used with excellent results by thou
sands of folks who are subject to rheu-
matism. Here you have a pleasant
effervescent lithia-water drink which
helps overcome uric acid and is bene-
hcial to your kidneys as well.

STA YED
UP MOST
OFNZGHI'
Women Battlers for Mayor
Wilson Fled Before At
tacks Of Early
Morning.
Especial to The Times)

Hartford, Sept. 9-In these days of
drinkless hours, it isn't usual for
delegates of any party to- stay up late
at night because the chill dews of the
early morning hours are supposed to
have a baneful effect upon confec-
tions and upon appetites ana other
things. But they did that here last
night and they talked Walsh and
Stoeckel and Wilson and Temp1eton
and Governor Holcomb and Suffrage
and League of Nations, and many
other things until the bell hops and
the clerks had to be awakened in or
der to comply with the demands of
delegates of the Republican State
convention.
1t was nearly four o'clock when
the last of the conferences dealing
with the nomination for Governor
had stopped of it's own momentum
and the weary takers had retired to
their individual rooms to go at it
again this morning.
And out of it all-and this wasn't
announced in the early hours, but
seemed to have been borne some
where in the sleep from four O'Clock
until S-came the surprising an
nouncement that Walsh couldn't win
and Stoecke1 couldn't win, and Will
son couldn't win and Temp1eton
possibilities tackled to each of these
it was determined that some such
man as Frank Healy of Windsor
Locks, Attorney General of State,
should receive the nomination.
Just how this answer to the prob
lem was evolved no one will ever be
able to tell. Healy was the upstate
manager for the Walsh campaign.
He has vocierferous1y announced that
- 1t<-y-
but he was going to put Walsh over.
But, you see, realizing that Hea1ys
obstinacy, either fake or real, was
thing not to be lightly dealt with
the thermometers gently ~endea-
vored to point out to Speaker jim
Walsh the uncomfortable position in
which his candidacy was placing
him. Some of them told Walsh very
b1unt1y that they couldn't win with
him and he referred them to Healy.
Healy said he wouldn't withdraw
Walsh's name under any considera--
ton and then they told Healy if he
would withdraw Walsh, they would
give him the nomination.
Healy took offense at this state
ment and indignantly rejected the
overture.
And then they spread the story
around the hotel that everything was
off; and if they couldn't straighten
the matter up some way the man to
be nominated at todays convention
! was Governor Marcus H. Ho1comb
! The saddened eyes~o the delegates
when they heard that statement was
eloquent testimony as to the effect
of the weapon and most of them
went to bed.
All the time this talk was going
on Commissioners StoeckeTs friends
were very busy talking and watch
| ing. They were watching to see
what the result of the Walsh, Hea1y,
Holcomb n1anoeuvers was ready to

WILL DRAG
SWAMP FOR
CLOTHING
Police Preparing Evidence
For the Wade Murder
Trial

Determined to discover the hiding G
place of red sweater, a suit of
overa11s and a lead pipe, which ar
ticIes are said to have been in the
confessed murder of George E. Mott,
at the time of the killing, the police
will, if necessary transport a row
boat to the swamp in Easton where
the trunk containing Motifs body was
discovered. With the aid of a boat,
the police believe they will be better
able to drag the pool in which the
pipe and articles of colthing are
thought to have been thrown.
Under the direction of Superin-
tendent of Police, Patrick Flanagan,
photographs will be taken today of
the interior of the Mott apartment at
265 Judson avenue. Pictures of the
attic bedroom in which the fight
started, the stairs on which the
battle ragged and the Railways in
which Wade is said to have killed his
victim, will be taken.
In the City court last Saturday,
custom was upset when the princi-
pals in the murder case were bound
over to the Superior court on charges
of murder in the first degree, before
tion had been made known. It is
said that this course was followed by
the court inasmuch the police had
collected enough evidence against
Wade, Mrs. Mott and John E. John
ston to hold them regardless of the
coroner's verdict.

LEGISLATIVE ACT ON
NEW VOTERS FRAMED
Deputy Boards Of Registra-
tion to Be Established in
Every Ward or
District.
Especial To Times }

Hartford, Connecticut September
9. - The legislature of Connecti-
cut at the special session next week
will pass a law providing that voters
may be made in each precinct ward
or voting district the the state
without the necessity of appearing
before the board of registration of
the town. There will be no extension
of the time for making voters which
the law now places at from OCT. 8
until Oct Is.
Under the present law only the
board of registration composed of the
board of Selectman, town clerk, and
general registrar, may make voters.
Each applicant for the right to vote
must appear before this board of
registration between Oct. and Oct
Is.
Under the law which is now being
framed for presentation to the
special session, the applicant for the
right to vote, instead of going to the
town hall, or city hall in town or
city, will appear at places to be des-
iginated in the voting district of war
in which he or she resides and will
there be made a voter. Deputy
boards of registration will be es-
tablished under the law to do the
making for the voting precincts, dis
tricts or wards.
Under this system there will be no
need for the extension of the time
for making voters.
Chairman J. Henry Roraback of
the Republican State committee
made this announcement to the Re

DEMOCRATS
SPEED PLANS FOR
CAMPAIGN HERE

Under the earnest management of
John A. Cornell, chairman of the
Democratic Town Committee, the
preliminary activities of the cam
paign are already beginning to de-
velop considerable momentum.
In place of the two Democratic
clubs which were all the party could
boast last. April there are now Dem
ocratic clubs in almost every district
in the city and it is tlA- intention of
Mr.. Cornell to organize them in every
district SO far as practical. A new
one will be opened in the seventh at
the end of the current week.
The committee has leased a large
loft over the Altman clothing store
on Main street and Democratic head
quarters will be opened there during
the week.
Democratic headquarters in New
York has assured Mr.. Cornell that
the Vice Presidential candidate,
Franklin D. Roosevelt, will come here
to make a speech some evening in the
near future, perhaps on Sept. II.
The National Committee at first
planned that Mr.. Roosevelt would
make nothing more than a tai1-end
speech from his train in Bridgeport
but Mr.. Cornell made such Vigorous
representations to the committee that
it finally agreed to have Mr. RooSe-
welt come here for a full evening.
Plans are also afoot to have a
Cox-Roosvelt banner hung across
Main street. This will furnish the oc-
casion for the initial Democratic rail-
ly and Mr.. Cornell hopes to have Mr..
Roosevelt here at that time.

returns from yesterdays state wide
Democratic primary, compiled early
today by newspapers, indicated that
Thomas E. Watson, publisher and
once Populist candidate for president
had been nominated for United
Ssates Senator from Georgia. During
tAe campaign Watson was outspoken
in his opposition to the League of
Nations and in his criticism of the
Wilson administration.
Watson's opponents were Senator
Hoke Smith, who was seeking re-
nomination; Governor Dorsey and
John r. Cooper, a Macon attorney.
Out of a. total of 3SS county votes

stitution from 143 of the 155 coun-

Cooper none. One hundred and
ninety-fve votes are necessary for
nomination.
