SAGE TEA KEEPS

Gray hair, however handsome, de-
notes advancing age. We all know

ance. Your hair Is your charm. It
makes or mars the face. When It
fades, turns gray and looks dry,
wispy and scraggly, just few appli-
cations of Sage Tea and Sulphur en-
hances its appearance a hundred
fold.
Don't stay gray! Look young!
Either prepare the tonic at home or
get from any drug store a 50-cent
bottle of 'Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy" Thousands of folks
recommend this ready to-use prepa-
ration, because it darkens the hair
beautifully and removes dandruff,
stops scalp itching and falling hair;
besides, no one can possibly tell as it
darkens so naturally and evenly. You
moisten a sponge or soft brush with
it, drawing this through the hair,
taking one small strand at time. BY
morning the gray hair disappears;
after another application or two, its
natural color is restored and 1t be-
comes thick, glossy and lustrous, and
you appear years Commercially

MEAT CAUSE Of

Take Salts to Flush Kidneys if

If you must have your meat eW-

kidneys with salts occasionally,
says noted authority who tells
us that meat forms uric acid which
almost paraly2es the kidneys in
their efforts to expel it from the
blood. They become sluggish and
weaken. then you suffer with
dull misery in the kidney region,
sharp pains in the back or sick
headache, dizziness, your stomach
sours, tongue is coated and when
the weather is bad you have rheu-
matte twinges. The urine gets
cloudy, full of sediment, the chan
nels often get sore and irritated
obliging you TO seek relief two or
three times during the night.
To neutralize these irritating
acids, to cleanse the kidneys and
flush off the body's urinous waste
get four ounces Of Jad Salts from
any pharmacy here; take a table
spoonful in glass of water be-
fore breakfast for a few days and
your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from
the acid of grapes and lemon juice.
