Pimples, sores and boils usually result from toxins, poisons and im- purities which are generated in the bowels and then absorbad 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 meas of get- ting rid of these impurities which often break out all ovbr the skin in the form of pimples. The surest way to clear the skin of thse eruptions, says a noted au- thority, is to get from any pharmacy about four ounces of Jad Salts and take a tfablespoonful in a glass of {hot water each morning before break- fast for one week. This will prevent the formation of totins in the bowels. It algo stimullates the kidneys to normal activity, thus coaxing them to filter the blood of Impurities and clearing the skin of pimples.

The first of these permitted appointments to positions requiring professional or technical qualifica- tions by order-in-Council and mere- ly required the appointee subse- quently to secure a certificate of ap- proval from the Civil Service Com- mission.

Steacy's A pA OLDEST RACES IN AMERICA. Chewed Gum When First W Hite 4 Came Overseas. Chicle, a gum produced by refin- ing the milky juice of the Zovate | tree found chiefly in Mexicoy is the | basis of all chewing gum. WImas | Adams, founder the firm of Adams | & Sons, of New York, whose sue- | cegsors are the Canadian Chewing | Gum Company, Ltd., was the first | man to introduce chicle into chew- | ing gum. The company is the mak- | 3 | er too of Adams Chicléts and Adams | Black Jack gun. i The oldest races in America chew- ed the raw chicle. It was known to the Indians of Mexico and the Span- ish invaders soon discovered its uses from the Indians. They never refined it, however, or turned it to any comanercial use. Up to 1866 it was regarded as a rubber of a curi- ous type. Bat ¢ le belongs to the | "familia Sapotac * and men who claim to know declare it is made | from the sap of the Zabotie tree. But | it is made from a milky juice, more of the nature of a seeretion of latex than a sap. When the latex is boiled until the gum reaches the consistency of fresh taffy candy, the milk disappears. A test of its disappearance is to drop some into cok® water and after it has hardened to break it. If the break shows a perfect brown unmixed with white. flakes or streaks the gum is done and is ready to be moulded for shipment. The wood of,the tree is of little use by the natives except as rafters | for their houses. They call it "the | wood of eternal life." It is very | hard and 'has a perfeetly straight | grain. The leaves are dark 'and | leathery and remain green the year around. Since the chicle the chiclyers for the quantity of juice he gathers, he travels alone. After he has located a Zapote tree he attaches near the base a canvass bag which catches the milky juice. Just above the bag he makes a, gash with his matchete. Then he cufs a gash for 20 or 30 feet above the bag 4 that the latex will run down along to the bag.
