Like the fall of Antwerp, the evacuation of Belgrade
marks the exhaustion of little nation after long and
desperate struggle against gigantic foe If Serva is not
yet at the knees of her enemy she is plainly giving way
under the violence of blows that longer be parted
Of ITSELF the capture of Belgrade little in military
sense ncomparaby less than the taking of Antwerp Yet
it serves to confirm the private information which has

YOUTH WAS A LITTLE BITTER

Howard is quite a spendthrift. His

ences between Howard and his I'M
Gle, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer
However, one day not long ago our
young hero more or less efficiently ap-
preached his avunculag relative with
the intimation that it would be a
graceful thing for the old chap to
loosen up.
Young man" said the uncle, you
are a spendthrift. If | had money
would not give it to you. But have
no money. You seem to think have
a treasure hidden away somewhere.
Get rid of that notion. l have saved
up a sum large enough to bury me de-
Gently when l die, and that is all,
Now, get OUT" u
A friend of Howard asked him lit
tie later in the day why he looked SO
thoughtful.
81 was Just wondering" he said
where that old fellow got the idea
that he ought to be buried decentiy. "

Common Form of Insanity.

Quoted the bunch personally.
Here is a queer case, ladies'" he

SAGE TEA. AND SULPHUR
DARKENS YOUR GRAY HAIR
Look Years Youngerl Try Grandma's
Recipe of Sage and Sulphur
9and Nobody VIII Know.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray; also ends dandruff, itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make it at home, which Is
mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui.
phur Hair Remedy" You will get a
large bottle for about so cents. Every
body uses this old, famous recipe, be-
cause no one can possibly tell that
you darkened your hair, as it does it
so naturally and evenly. You dampen
a sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at time; by morn
ing the gray hair disappears, and
after another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, thick
and glossy and you look years younger.

There's no rest and but little peace
for a person whose kidneys are out OF
order.
Lame in the morning, suffering cricks
in the back and sharp stabs of pain
with every sudden strain, the day is
just one round of pain and trouble.
1t would be strange if allday back
ache did not wear on the temper, but
it is not only on that account that
people who suffer with weak kidneys
are nervous, cross and irritable.
Uric acid is poison to the nerves,
and when the kidneys are not working
well, this acid collects in the blood
and works upon the nerves, causing
headache, dizziness, languor, an in
clination to worry over trifes, and a
suspicious, short temper.
Rheumatic pain, neuralgia, sciatica,
lumbago, neuritis and gravel are fur
Their steps in uric acid poisoning.
Don't neglect kidney weakness. An
aching back, with unnatural passages
of the kidney secretionS, is cause
enough to suspect the kidneys. Use
Doan's Kidney Pills, remedy which
has been used for years, the world
over, for weak kidneys, backache, ir-
