RECIPE TO Clear
A PIMPLY SKIN
Pimples are Impurities Seeking an Out
let Through Skin Pores

Pimples, 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.
1t is the function of the kidneys TO
filter impurities from the blood ana
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 eruptions, 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 morning before breakfast for one
week This will prevent the formation
of toxins in the bowels. 1t also stimu-
lates the kidneys to normal activity,
thus coaxing them to filter the blood or
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 disap-
pear: cleanses the blood and is excellent
for the kidneys as well.-Adv.

WHO is YOUR BEST FRIEND?

There is a man in this community
who almost everybody thinks of every
day. If there is some important work
to do the wish is Immediately expressed
that this man might be placed at the
head of it,. If the city is to be repre-
sented at some meeting the wish is al
ways heard that this man might be
given the task.
A friend observing the popularity OF
the man, observing the power he had
developed. and admiring him for going
along the even tenor Of his way SEEM
ingly unmindful of what he was doing
made inquiry as to the books he read.
Inquired into the thought back Of the
man.
1t was learned that he had read some
Of the inspirational literature on the
market but had not seemed to develop
a deep appreciation for it. He enters
plea of guilty, however, to seeking
moments when he could be alone, where
unmolested he could q and think.
As we see it there is but one conclu-
sion to be reached and that is the man
has learned to think. He has learned
to develop virtues by the power OF
thought. He overcomes his own weak
nesses because he is first able to de-
tect them The ordinary man prides
himself on his weaknesses, he hugs
them to himself as being virtues. Not
one man in one hundred develops one.
tenth Of the powers nature has be-
slowed upon him. To develop mentally
man must become absolutely honest
with himself. If he is honest with him
self he Is also honest with the world.
He must be able to measure himself
with men who have succeeded in order
to find some of his weaknesses. If he
discovers a weakness he must put II
to rout and the routing Of one will open
the way to get rid of others.
The man who helps you find your
self, who helps you purify your
thoughts and uplifts and inspires you
is the best friend you have.

ORDINARY SPEED WON'T DO

oil fields by the pokey route of the
automobile that travels from 80 to so
miles an hour or a railroad train that
travels equally as fast. This man
takes an airplane. This man can go
to Ranger, transact his business, see
his oil wells and get back home in

He can go to Duncan and back before
breakfast. The day Of travel by air

TEER FILES ANSWER
TO MUELLER IN SUIT
IN DISTRICT COURT

The defendant in the case Of Gus
Mueller VS.. John Teer, has filed an ans
wer to the petition Of the plaintiff in
which he denies that it was through
his negligence that the accident over
which the suit was filed occurred and
alleges that it never would have oc-
CURED had the plaintiff exercised or
dinary care.
In the petition which the plaintiff
had filed he had alleged that while
crossing Main street, near Caddo, Teer
had run over him with a Buick Spas
no warning. He alleged that when he
first noticed the car bearing down upon
him, he tried to back away, but the de-
fendant steered in the same direction.
Plaintiff further alleged that the defen-
dant could have stopped the car in time
to prevent the accident. Plaintiff. who
is 70 years old. further alleged that
as a result of the accident, he suffered
broken leg, knee, collar bone, ribs
and other injuries and asked judgment
in the sum of $4,000 for personal in
jurles and 1880 for medical and nurse
expense.
In his answer, defendant states that
as he neared Caddo street, he put out
his arm to indicate that he was going
to turn. and that the plaintiff, instead
of walking forward, started backwards
with the result that the accident oc-
CURED. He further alleges that he
honked his horn to warn the plaintiff
prior to his stepping backwards, and
that the collision would have been
averted had the plaintiff gone forward
Defendant further states that he was
going at a speed of but three TO five
miles per hour and was at the time OF
the accident n careful and prudent
driver. Defendant further denies that
the plaintiff earned IS per day. as he
alleged in his petition.
Brown and Williams are the attor
neys for the plaintiff in the case and II

banks but have been loaned out and
a call for such a sum of money would
hurt business severely. The necessity
for agricultural loans are not greater
than loans that are not agricultural. If
we are to judge all other communi-
ties by our own the farmer is being
as we'll taken care of as the capital
of the banks will permit The farmer
is given loans when the town man is
turned down. The banker has for
years taken good care of the farmer
and the man who is following an agri-
cultural pursuit can borrow money on
less collateral than the man in other
lines of business. Much of the one
hundred millions named in the bill is
now in the hands of the farmer having
found its way there through the local
banks.

TRACKING THE LAW

1t has been said that q little learning
Is dangerous thing but the board Of
commissioners Of Hill county, Texas,
have probably arrived at the opinion
that little office is a dangerous thing.
All three members of the board have
been suspended from office and new
men have been appointed in their
places. The allegations are that some
road bonds had been voted that rather
large sum was allowed the contract
ors for printing and also that the con-
tract was awarded for a larger sum
than others would be willing to accept
the work.
Those who have had opportunity to
handle bonds recently are aware Of the
fact that they will not sell at par and
also that the law requires that they
bring par. In such a case it is quite
likely that the commissioners have
been camouflaging just little. They
wanted to realize on their bonds and
get their work done and ut the same
time they could do SO under the law.
So they were quite likely arranging
for the contractors to take care of the
deficit and We're giving them aid so
they could do so without loss to them
selves.
Those Texans seem to prefer TO have
the law adhered to. If it stops work
We'll enough but the law must be ad-
hered to anyway

HONESTY PRICED
ABOVE ALL ELSE
lRv the Associated Pressl

ConstantinOple, April 20.-An honest
business man who will keep his
word in a trade is priced above fine
gold in Turkey, for there is hardly a
law now functioning in this distracted
country A man who breaks his word
in business is never let into the inner
circle of big traders for honesty is
today at higher rating here than ever
before.
One may steal or kill with a large
limit of impunity Some months since
in Batum, an Englishman was put upon
and in self-defiance killed a man.
Frightened as to consequences, he be-
gan collecting evidence to show he
had acted in self-defence. After he
had collected his evidence, he found
no one was interested in the case, and
also there was no one TO whom he
could submit il.

exporting center, the logical clearing
house for the Levant, with much mer-
chandise in transit or in bond Amer-
cans have traded here in unprecedent.
ed numbers since the armistice, and
some of them have lost money. Natur-
ally they blame the local agents, the
city, the conditions. According to
Julian Gillespie, the United States
commercial attache, there is often Il
good deal to be said on both sides.
Recently the correspondent met an
American arriving here I'm going to
stay a few days to make some local
firms pay for goods" said the Ameri-
can. 80 far our local agent hasn't
succeeded"
This is evidently your first time
here; you'd better make that few days
a few weeks" advised the correspond
ent.
The American so far has spent two
months, and he is still wrestling with
conditions, one Of which is that his local
agent insists on opening his mail and
private kilograms, and calling it Il
mistake"
1t is generally stated that American
exporters must begin at the bottom and
secure laws at home which will give
consignees more protection. Boxes and
pieces should be properly marked, and
cases filled. Ship carriers should be
made to stow goods properly, so that
a given lot if discharged at the port
of destination as n lot not as a series
of separate packages. Also bills Of
lading should be properly forwarded
so the consignee will know when his
goods will arrive.
1t has happened at this port that u
ship with several lots Of goods has
discharged the lots in small parts in
various lighters, and also without noti-
fication to the consignee, so the latter
has lost heavily in time damage, theft
and storage charges. Also, cases often
arrive empty or partially filled, or with
goods not up to sample.
Too often the American exporter has
treated this market as a dumping
ground and sent goods Of the quality
and nature used by Cook on his voy-
ages of discovery through the Pacific.
These things being true, given con-
ditions often bordering on Bedlam, the
American is advised to be wary and
remember the common saying of the
Levant that 'it takes three Jews 10
outwit an Armenian and three Ameri'
cans to outwit a Greek"

WOULD WITHDRAW MONEY

gress appropriating one hundred mil.
lion dollars from the earnings Of the
reserve banks 10 be placed into a fund
10 be used in making agricultural
loans.
The reserve banks were not organ
izei to make profit but they have
made enormous profits. And these
profits We're legitimate. The reserve
banks had 10 prepare a scale OF inter-
est charges to keep some bankers, espe-
cially local banks (banks located in the
same cities), from using all the capital,
In the great expansion period follow
ing the war when everybody wanted
TO borrow all the money everybody
else had, the reserve banks fixed an
Interest scale so that as banks effected
loans the interest rate climbed. This
was done to distribute the benefits out
over the entire district. Many banks
paid interest on the ascending scale in
order TO take care of their customers
and as u result the reserve banks
made large profits.
The new bill would limit the inter
est rate TO five per cent and would
take one hundred million from the
profits. The proposed legislation to
the laymen does not sound good. In
the first place the reserve banks in
raising the interest rate on climbing
loans favored banks located as the Ard
moro banks are because the plan gave
~ hG their pro rata OF the money. In
tha second place the profits that have
been u.lt are not lying idle in the
