EASY TO 1DARkFN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
Try this! Mix Sage Tea and Sulphur
and brush it through Your hair,
taking one strand at a time

When you darken your hair with
Sage Tea and Sulphur, no one can
tell, because it's done so naturally,
so evenly. Preparing this mixture,
though, at home is mussy and trouble
some. For SO cents you can buy at
any drug store the read-to-use tonic
called "Weyeth,s Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy" You just dampen a
sponge or soft brush with 1t and
draw this through you hair, taking
one small strand time. By morn
ing all gray hair disappears, and,
after another application or two,
your hair becomes beautiful dark
ened, glossy and luxuriant. You will
also discover dandruff is gone and
hair has stopped falling.
Gray faded hair, though no dis
grace, is a sign of old age, and as we
all desire youthful and attractive
appearance. get busy at once with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur and look
years younger .5s

MEAT INJURIOUS

Take a tablespoon Of Salts If Back

We are a nation of meat eaters
and our blood is filled with !, uric
acid, says a well-known authority,
who warn 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 over
work; they get sluggish; the elm
NATIVE tissues clog and thus the
waste is retained in the blood to poi
son the entire system.
When your kidneys ache and feel
like Jumps of lead, and you have
stinging pains in the back or the
&sine is cloudy full if sediment, or
the bladder is irritable, obliging you
to seek relief during the night;
when you have severe headaches,
nervous and dizzy spells, sleepless-
ness, acid stomach or rheumatism

a tablespoon in a glass of water be-
lore breakfast eacn morning and IN
a few days your kidneys will act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid Of grapes and lemon Juice, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to flush and stimu-
late clogged kidneys, to neutralize
the acids in prime so it is no longer q
source of irritation, thus ending ur-
mary and bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and can
not injure; makes a delightful at.
fervescent Whitewater drink, .and
nobody can make a mistake by tax.

The giraffe is very shy and can run

CRATES are worth $4,000 apiece to
menageries and 81 cents to farmers:
One giraffe let loose in Michigan would
eat up a peach orchard a week-trom
the top down. An effort is now being
made to tame them and teach them to
act as portable telephone poles for mill
tary use, but it has not been a success
As soon as a giraffe, is tanned, he catches
cold in some section of his neck and
wanders into the labyrinthic hence.
Nothing would be more annoying to the
farmer than to have to get up early on
a hot day and bury a deceased giraffe

100 Years Ago Today

NNE hundred years ago today the
allied army advancing on Paris
was seriously threatened in the
rear by the French peasantry. Long
unaccustOmed to invasion and eXasper-
ated by the devastation wrought by the
invaders, the peasants gathered into
troops and massacred the foreign sol
diery when not in sufficient numbers
to keep them in check. This led NapO-
leon to hope that his diminished army
would be supported by a general rising
of the people But in this he was dis
appointed. The people didn't rise in any
considerable number, and the allies con
tinued to march upon Paris, convinced
that the possession of the French capt.
tai must inevitably bring the war to
favorable conclusion.
