RECIPE TO CLEAR
I A PIMPLY SKIN
Pimples are Impurities Seek
ing an Outlet Through Skin
Pores.
" Pimples, sores and boils usually
result from toxins, poisons and im
purities 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, but in many instances the
bowels create more toxins and im
purities than the kidneys can elimi
nate, then the blood uses the skin
pores as the next best means of get
ting 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 au
thority, is to get from any pharmacy
about four ounces of J ad 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
tfce bowels. It also stimulates the
kidneys to normal activity, thus
coasting 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, ef
fervescent drink - which -usually
makes pimples disappear; cleanses
the blood and is excellent for the
kidneys as well. 1

How
Hoi.
Madge Brought Alice
Combe Calmness.
Alice Holcocnbe must have been
watching for me from her window,
for as I drew, my car up to the
curb in front of her home the front
door opened and she rushed down
the walk. Her surprise at seeing me
pilot the car evidently drove from
her mind for the moment the things
for 'which she had summoned me.
"Oh. what a surprise!" she ex
claimed, her face and eyes showing
a trace of the animation which had
been hers when I first knew her,
and which she seemed to have ut
terly lost since the tragedy which
had fallen : athwart Kenneth Stock
bridge's life. "When' did you learn?
Is it your car?"
I countered with another ques
tion. "Are you ready to go for a
cup of tea? I'll answer all questions
on the road?'
"Just let me get my coat," she
said, and . without further parley
went back to the veranda, caught
up a light pongee coat, slipped it
en as she came back down the walk
and was in the car as she fastened
the last button.
I noticed that she held a small
brown paper parcel fastened with
rubber bands, and that she carefully
transferred it from one hand to an
other as she fastened her coat. She
held it tightly in her hands as she
sat by my side, and I didn't need to
have a Sherlock Holmes brain to
deduce that the packet had some
thing to do with the reason for her
urgent wish to see me.
I carefully avoided all reference
to it, however, and occupied the time
between our start and our arrival
at the secluded little tea room I had
picked out, with an account of my
motor experiences. I tried to make
them as humorous as I knew, how.
judging that my friend would be
much the better for a little distrac
tion from the burden weighing upon
her,, and was rewarded by an occa
sional low laugh from her. .'
Overtaxed Nerves.
But when we had reached the little
tea room, which was in reality iust
the "parlor" and tile small screened
veranaa ot a house owned by- a wid
owed gentlewoman who added to
her slender income by her knack of
brewing delicious tea and baking
toothsome cakes, the hunted,
strained look was still in evidence
upon her face.
Are you sure we can talk safe
ly here?" she whispered, when the
hostess1 of the tea room had taken
our order and departed.
. Where more safely? I reolied
encouragingly. "See we are seated
in this farthest corner from the door
and there are no windows on this
side. There's no possible chance of
anyone coming! behind us without
seeing them, and we are screened
from the street. Besides, there is
almost always no one here at this
time. A half hour later the olace will
be filled, but we must be gone be
fore then."
"But I haVe some things to show
you. she protested.
That doesn t matter, I explained
patiently. "You need not bring them
out until after Mrs. Wynne has
served our tea and cakes. That will
be her last appearance unless a cus
tomer comes in, and we shall have
ample notice of that as our seats
command a view of the only path.
Come, dear, trust me and relax a
little. You are tinder a terrible ten
sion. You are going to snap like an
over-wound watch spring if you keep
this up.
What She Needed.
Her eyes filled with tears which
she winked back resolutely. But the
very sight of them alarmed me, for
Alice Holcombe and the weakness
of tearswere two utterly incongru
ous things.
"I I know it," she said pitifully.
"But I I can't help It."
"Yes, you can," I made my voice
authoritatively unsympathetic, in
stinct telling me that she needed a
firm hand more than anything else.
"You're going to let me take charge
of you for the next hour and I am
going to insist that you obey me ab
solutely. In the first place, let me
put that packet into my bag. The
very handling of it Is making you
nervous. There' I took it from
her trembling fingers, slipped it into
my bag and hung the bag over my
arm. "It i perfectly safe. Now
forget it until we have had our tea.
I'm awfully thirsty. We had broiled
sausages for lunch in the woods to
day and I could dring any kind of
beverage. Did you ever broil sau
sages over a campfire?"
- "No," she answered, evidently
speaking with difficulty, but making
a Drave ettort to conquer ner emo
tions. "Tell me about it"
I strung out my account of our
picnic luncheon and campfire -until
Mrs. Wynne came out with the tea
tray. I presided over the cups with
a martinet eye upon my friend, see
ing that she drank several cups of
the fragrant steaming beverage and
ate her share of the cakes. With a
little' inward glow of satisfaction, I
saw that while she was still agi
tated, yet she was in far better shape
to discuss the things which worried
her than ahe had been before.
When we had finished, and I had
flushed the tea tray to one side. I
