never dance again but YOU find
you're getting as spry as ever--the
old tingling active feeling reaches
even your feet.
Kruschen is a combination Of the
six salts Nature has already put
into your body to keep you alive
if it were not for these vital salts
you could not live.

of these reiuvenating salts-a bot
tie lasts weeks and one bottle is
enough to prove to you that Krus-
chen will make you feel younger
spryer-more energetic-youu en-
Joy life-every minute of it.
AS one stout woman wrote: "Krus-
chen Salts are worth their weight
in gold to me-"
A half teaspoonful in glass OF
hot water every morning is all you
need to keep healthy-keep your
stomach. liver. bowels and kidneys
| in splendid condition-free your
system from harmful toxins and
acids.

MAYOR IS AIDED
BY D. c. LAWYER

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., March
13.-James j. O'Leary, for more
than 10 years assistant United
States attorney in Washington
and one of the attorneys for the
United States in the prosecution
Of Harry S. Sinclair in the Tea
pot Dome oil scandal case, has
been retained by Mayor Anthony
M. Ruffu, of this city, to defend
him against charges of violation
of the crimes act in the placing
of city insurance.
County Prosecutor Herbert Z.
Bartlett has appeared before the
Atlantic county grand jury sit
ting at Mays Landing. in an eff
fort to have the mayor indicted.
Without waiting for the grand
jury to act, O'Leary yesterday
leaped into action, issuing a long
statement attesting his belief in
the mayors innocence.
O'Leary said the agitation
against Mayor Ruffu was for the
purpose of creating a condition OF
hysteria in which vital issues may
be obscured in a fog of confusion
and emotionalism, to tine end
that such issues may be disposed
of emotionally, rather than intel,
lectually."
Mayor Ruffu is an honest, ef.
ficient official and a real man."
O'Leary declared.
O'Leary said he would file legal
documents soon which will tell
their own story; speak for them
selves"
