INDUSTRIAL PARTY " ENDORSES REPORT Germans Approve Dawes Plan- Belgium Likewise Pleased By The Associated Press, { Berlin, April 26.— Unequivocal {dorsement of the German govern- [ment's action in accepting the Dawes report as a basis for reaching a repa- | ration _solution is expressed in a reso- lution adopted by the powerfnl league of German industrialists, which desig- nates the experts' findings as a ver dict based on principles of sound economics and suited to achieving the solution desired, The resoiution cites the league's |concurrence with the fundamentals of the experts' recommendations and states that the issues to which objec- tion might be raised by Germany should be left to later discussions It expresses the hope that the ex- perts’ report will be executed in the same objective spirit that actuated the members of the committee during |their investigations, and demands that Germany be guaranteed restoration of her economic and administrative sov- ereignty and protection of her cur- rency in connection with the so-called transfer of reparation receipts, en- Relgian Reply Brussols, April 25, —-The Belgian reply to the reparation commission, after paying tribute to the high moral authority attached to the unanimons conclusions of the Dawes committee, axpresses readiness to accept the con clusions as a whole with a view to practical regulation of the reparations. The Belgian government looks to the reparation commission to examine the laws and decrees which it has asked the German government to sih- mit to it and which are necessary for complete execntion of the experts' plan. The government trusts that the commission will rapidly prepare the measures which the report left to its lears, working out the details so that |the plan recommended can be prompt- [ly put into execution in common ae- lcord with the allied governments, Informal Talk Paris, April 25, - The reparation | commission held an unofficial meet. {Ing today to discuss the replies of the French, British and Belgian govern- {ments to the commission’s note re. | garding exccution of the Dawes repa- ration plan, The Itallan reply not | Laving been received, the membe exchanged views unofficially regard g the other responses.

If the bowels do not regularly remove all the impurities that are continually accumulating in the body, what happens? The kidneys are overburdened and become inflamed and con- zested, and fail in their duty of cleansing the blood, which becomes clogged with impurities, thus rendering the stomach and liver incapable of properly performing their duties. Gradually the whole system becomes poisoned and the individual suffers from Kidney Disease, Liver Disorders, Indigestion and Dyspepsia, Rheu- matism, Headaches, Boils, Blotches and Pimples.
