WROTE WITH BLOOD.
(Bv The Associated Press.)


 PEKING, Dec. 29.-The American Minister, Paul S. Reinsch has received several letters from chinese signed with their own blood. One or two of them appeal for mediation with the Japanese others ask that American at tempt to cause a cessation of the war in Europe. It is the custom of Chinese to sign letters or even to write them with their own blood in place of ink, when the reason for writing is grave or nobly inspired. The saying is that the writer "cut off a finger and wrote with his blood" but as a rule small puncture in the skin supplies sufficient blood for the writing of letter.

BRITISH SEIZE MORE SHIPS WITH U. s. CARGOEs
SAYS EARLY DECISION NOT
 EXPECTED IN RAILROAD MATTER

There is nothing said in the dis patch as to when the report will be placed in the hands of the president by the commission but it is generally believed that this report is very near ly ready. The statement that the government is figuring on taking over the three roads is founded, however, on nothing that is apparently tangible.
 The Panama Mines railroad is only a local road serving the creeks around Fairbanks and many regard it as hay ing no bearing on the railroad situa- tion. One thing seems to be made cer- tain by the letter in the Post Intelli- gencer and that is that the president, contrary to rumor has not decided on any particular route. This he is quoted as stating positively.

AN OLD RECIPE
TO DARktN HAIR
Common Garden Sage and Sulphur
Makes Streaked, Faded or Gray
Hair Dark and Glossy at Once

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compounded,
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 Sulphur
Compound" You will get large bot.
tie for about 80 cents. Everybody uses
this old, famous recipe, because no one
can possibly tell that you darkened your
hair. as it does it so naturally and
evenly. You dampen sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand at a
time; by morning the gray hair disap-
pears, and after another application or
two. your hair becomes beautifully
dark, thick and glossy and you look
years younger. Adv.

MEAT INJURIOUS
TO THE KIDNEYS
Take Tablespoonful of Salts if Back
Hurts or Bladder Bothers-Meat
Forms Uric Acid

We are a nation of meat eaters and
our blood is filled with uric acid, says a
well-known authority, who warns us to
be constantly on guard against kidney
trouble.
The kidneys do their utmost to free
the blood of this irritating acid, but
become weak from the overwork; they
get sluggish: the eliminative tissues
clog and thus the waste is retained in
the blood to poison the entire system.
When your kidneys ache and feel
like Jumps of lead, and you have sting
ing pains in the back or the urine is
cloudy, full of sediment, or the bladder
is irritable, obliging YOU to seek relief
during the night; when you have Sc
we're headaches, nervous and dizzy
spells, sleeplessness, acid stomach or
rheumatism in bad weather, get from
your pharmacist about four ounces of
Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast each
morning and in few days your kid
neys will act fine. This famous salts is
made from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice. combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations to flush and
stimulate clogged kidneys, to neutralize
the acids in urinl so it is no longer a
source of irritation, thus ending urinary
and bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
lnlure; makes a delightful effervescent
hthla-water drink, and nobody can
make mistake by taking little oc-
casionally 20 keep the kidneys clean
and active. Adv
