Industry can pay a living wage if
it wants to, M. R. M. Jewell, presi
dent of the Railway Kmployes de
partment, American Federation of
Labor, declared, in Humming up hi
argument for an increase in wages
for SW.OOU (.hop craft workers
before labor board.
Says New Cuts Planned.
The sjH'aker contended that an
analysis of the possibility of physi
cal production undertaken by corn
latent economists proved that the
physical resource", the plant, the la
bor power and the scientific knowl
edge of the United States are such
that a living- wage is possible for all
who work if industry is directed to
that end.
The shop craft spokesman further
charged that interests which he said
were back of the railroads' demand
for a new pay cut are planning new
'aids on 'Vh income of all wage
earnerf and farmers when thev have
emerged from the present depres
sion. They ar holding the lid on until
they get low wages in all industries,
including low returns to farmers, so
flat when increased production is
a.feuu initiated Hiey can absorb the
"entire increase," he' said. "The dis
crepancy between prices and wages
which was manifest during the re
cent inflation period will be repeat
ed," ,

Harmony Exists
Between Harding
and Congressmen
Momlell Declares Certain
Writers and Newspapers
Trying to Create Impres
sion of Discord.
Washington, March 30. Congress
and President Harding are not at
loggerheads despite the impression
created by "certain writers and cer
tain newspapers," Representative
Mondell, Wyoming, republican lead
er, declared today in a statement
which he said he had prepared for
delivery as an address in the house.
"The fact is that instead of the
president and congress being at log
gerheads, as these writers and jour
nals would have the country believe,"
stated Mr. Mondell, "there never has
been a time in my quarter of a cen
tury of experience in congress when
the relations between the president
and congress, particularly the house
of representatives,, were more pleas
ant, cordial, sympathetic and harmo
nius than at the present time."
Efforts are also being made, Mr.
Mondell declared, to make it appear
that there is a wide rift between the
president and republican leaders in
congress, over legislation affecting
tint army and navy.

AOYERTISEMENT.
RECIPE TO CLEAR
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 Sre 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
bow-els 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
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, savs a noted au
thority, is to get from any phar
macy 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. It also stimulates the
kidneys to normal activity, thus
coaxing them to filter the blood of
impurities and clearing the skin of
pimpies.
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 disappear; cleanses
the blood and is excellent for the
kidneys as well.
to Save Onej
"I tried to get the con.cnt of the
l-rothcr to ornate lo save the liic

trmiiou,H added the physicians.
Dr. HiciUtoue explained that a
delicate operation would have been
ueceary. Ileforc their death, he
had expressed the opinion tlut the
physiological ailiuitv of the twins
was so vital that if one should die
the other might alo succumb be
fore the baud of flesh and bone that
joins them could be severed,
Rosa Married.
Although the twins poccd
separate respiratory and cardiac
system, Dr. llreakstoue explained
that they had only one set of sec
ondary digestive and procreative or
gans. The operation, he said, world
have necessitated the building up of
a part of the digestive and other es
sential organs to save the life of one
twin.
Rosa was once married, her name
being Koa Ulazck Dvorak. She is
survived by a normal 11 -year-old
boy. Her husband was a captain in
the German army and was killed in
action in 1917. She was married 15
years ago. Joscfa never married.
The little son, Franz, has been
at the bedside of his mother, who,
until within the last few hours, was
less critically ill than Josefa.
Pastor Charged

of Confidence
Suit Filed in Equity Court
Says Minister i Caused Aged
Woman to Make Will
in His Favor.
Boston, March 30. Charges that
Rev. George J. Prcscott, pastor of the
Church of the Good Shepherd (Prot
estant Episcopal), betrayed the trust
and confidence reposed on him ' in
his' capacity as minister and adviser

year, 85, to sign over to him proper
crty valued at $25,000, were made in
a bill in equity filed in superior
court yesterday. The court was asked
to render null and void all papers
signed by Mrs. Goodyear while she
was "mentally incapacitated."
The suit to recover the property

servator of Mrs. Goodyear's estate
since October, 1920. Other defend
ants named are Mrs. Prescott, the
clergyman's wife; his two daughters
and his son, George W. F. Pres
cott, of Boston.
For some years. It is charged. Rev.
Mr. Prescott acted as Mrs. Good
year's religious and business adviser
and "contrived" to establish himself
completely in her confidence. It is
alleged that in -September, 1918. he
caused tne aged woman to make a
will, or other instrument of like na
ture, in which she bequeathed to
him all her property. '

her to execute a deed of trust pro
viding for payment of the income
from a trust fund of $25,000 to Mrs.
Goodyear during her life and there
after to himself. The deed further
provided, it is charged, that after
the death of Mrs. Goodyear, the in
come should go to his wife and chil
dren and at their decease, the princi
pal should revert to Mr. Prescott s
heirs.
