IF HAIR IS TURNING
GRAY, USE SAGE TEA
Don't Look Old Try Grandmother's
Recipe to Darken and Beauty
Gray, Faded, LifeIess Hair.

Grandmother kept her hair beauti.
fully darkened, glossy and abundant
with brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair fell out or took on
that dull, faded or streaked appear
ance, this simple mixture was applied
with wonderful effect. By asking at
any drug store for "Wyeths Sage and
Sulphur Hair Remedy" you will get a
large bottle of this old-time recipe,
ready to use, for about so cents. This
simple mixture can be depended upon
to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair and is splendid for dan
druff, dry, itchy scalp and falling hair.
A well-known druggist says every
body uses Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur,
because it darkens so naturally and
evenly that nobody can tell it has been
applied-it's so easy to use, too. You
simply dampen a comb or soft brush
and draw it through your hair, taking
one strand at a time. By morning
the gray hair disappears; after an.
other application or two, it is re-
stored to its natural color and looks
glossy, soft and abundant. Adv.

RAILROADS Win
RATE increase
ADVANCE OF FIVE PER CENT
ON NEARLY ALL FREIGHT
ALLOWED.
SUGAR BETS ARE EXCEPTED
Iron Ore, Coal and Coke Also Not In
cIuded in Decision of State
Commission Given Out
Saturday.

Lansing-In a decision announced
Saturday morning, the Michigan rail-
road commission completed its orders
giving the southern peninsula. Michi-
gan railroads their famous per cent
increases for which they have been
petitioning for almost two years.
Counting in the latest order, an in
crease averaging per cent has been
granted the railroads on all freight
with the exception of coal, coke, iron
ore and sugar beets.
Some of the advances date back to
last fall, while those on brick, cement,
tile, clay and starch bear date of Sat
urday.
According to experts the raises
which the Michigan railroad commits
sion has allowed in freight rates will
net the roads an increase of about
$1,200000 a year. This only applies
to railroads south of the straits, as
the upper peninsula roads were not
parties to the proceedings before the
commission.
Taking as a basis the last reports
of the railroads, for the year ending
June 80, 1914, the freight revenue for
all the railroads in Michigan was S44,-
53,2G2.09. OF this amount S36,969,-
G76.85 was for railroads in the south
ern peninsula and 1888, "a for the
roads in the upper peninsula.
According to the railroad experts
here, the business done in coal coke,
iron ore and sugar beets. the four
same, ran between 80 and So per cent
of the total business on the roads
south of the straits. That would
make the business on which the in
creases have been granted run about
S24,000000 in that district this figure
giving the percentage at So
While some of the raises granted
last fall were as low as 4 per cent
and some as high as 3 per cent, 5
per cent is about the average. Based
on the figures, the increase to the
freight revenue would be in round
numbers $1,2OO,OOO.
While a portion of the $4,000 600
business is interstate and not intra-
state, the increases apply to the en-
tire business in the southern PENN
sula, except for the four commodities
mentioned. The interstate commerce
commission granted the railroads the
increases asked for on all commodities
some time ago. so that the average
of . per cent applies to both inter
state and interstate shipments.

IF BACK HURTS CLEAN
KIDNEYS WITH SALTS
Drink Lots Of Water and Stop Eating
Meat for a While If the Bladder
Bothers You.

Meat forms uric acid which excites
and overworks the kidneys in their
efforts to filter it from the system.
Regular eaters Of meat must flush the
kidneys occasionally. You must re-
lieve them like you relieve your bow
els; removing all the acids, waste and
poison, else you feed a 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
rheumatic twinges. The urine Is
cloudy, full of sediment; the channels
often get irritated, obliging you to get
up two or three times during the
night.
To neutralize these irritating acids
and flush off the body's urinous waste
get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from any pharmacy; take a table
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast for few days and your kid
neys will then act fine and bladder
disorders disappear. This famous salts
is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon Juice, combined with lithia, and
has been used for generations to clean
and stimulate sluggish kidneys and
stop bladder irritation. Jad Salts is
inexpensive; harmless and makes
delightful effervescent Whitewater
drink which millions Of men and
women take now and then, thus avoid
ing serious kidney and bladder dis
eases.-Adv.
