Winter Chills Bring Kidney Ills

A spell of cold, damp weather is
always followed by a fine crop of kid
ney troubles and backache.
Colds and chills damage the kid
neys. Other troubles common to win
ter weather are just as bad. Grip, tom
silitis, quinsy, pneumonia or any other
infectious disease hurts the kidneys
by overlooking the blood with poisons.
The kidneys get worn, weak and in
famed trying to work it of.
1t isn't hard to strengthen weak
kidneys though, If you act quickly.
At the first sign of backache, dizzy
spells, headaches, loss of weight, nerv.
business, depression and painful, irreg-
ular kidney action, start using Doan's
Kidney Pills. Rest the kidneys by
simple eating, avoidance of overwork
and worry, and getting more rest and
sleep. A milk diet lie fine.
This sensible treatment should
bring quick benefit and prevent seri.

Grafton of the Kansas City and st.
Louis election bills was laid over.
Persons in both cities have express
ed desire to be heard further on the
measures.
At the session of the senate COM
mittee Senators Casey and Green of
Kansas City objected strenuously to
several of the provisions.
Senator Casey declared the provi-
sions Of the bills, as prepared by the
election commissions of the two cities
are so obnoxious that there was not
a single man in the delegation of 81
from st. Louis and of eight from
Jackson county could be found who
would introduce or support them.
In detail, the two Kansas City sena-
tors went over the bill with the SEN
ate committee. One of the chief OBJ
jections was to the provisions giving
power to the election commission to
send men from one precinct to act as
judges of election in another precinct.

GRANDMA USED SAGE TEA
TO DARKEN HER GRAY HAIR
She Made Up Mixture of Sage Tea
and Sulphur to Bring Back Color,
Gloss, Thickness.

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,
by asking at any store for "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy" you
will get a large bottle Of the famous
old recipe for about so cents.
Don't stay gray! Try it! 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 morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap-
plication or two. your hair becomes
beautifully dark. thick and glossy
