COMB SAGE TEA
INTO GRAY HAIR
Oarkens Beautifully and Restores Its
Thickness and Lustre at
Once.

Common garden sage brewed into
a heavy tea, with sulphur and alco-
hol added will turn gray, streaked
and faded hair beautifully dark and
luNuriant; remove every bit of dan
druff, stop scalp itching and falling
hair. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sui
phur recipe at home, though, is trou-
blesome. An easier way is to get
the ready touse tonic, costing about
80 cents a large bottle, at drug
stores, known as "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" thus avoiding
lot of muss.
While wispy, gray, faded hair is
not sinful, we all desire to retain
our youthful appearance and attract
iveness. By darkening your hair with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur, no one
can tell, because it does it so nat
urally so evenly. You Just dampen
a sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at time; by morn
ing all gray hairs have disappeared.
After another application or two your
hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy,
soft and luxuriant, and you appear
years younger

and softened it into a sticky paste.
Our only transport is mules with
ammunition, and they frequently fall
down and have to be picked up. Any
how, the enemy were in their trenches
with a decided advantage and were de-
livering a murderous fire. But by Il SUI

range we kept our fire cody delivered.

We're retiring, leaving the Arabs to
cover their retreat. They remained an
other quarter of an hour, and mean
while we had fixed our bayonets for
the grand finale-but evidently they
did not wish to prolong their stay.
Everyone, especially the Indians,
was anxious for a charge but the
birds flew before we reached their
trenches. 1t is alright fighting the
Turks; but the Arabs use big muzze
rifles with an enormous lead bullet
which will smash anything, and not
make pretty little hole like the
Turks pointed bullet which will heal
in no time. The black powder from
the Arabs rifles also causes so much
smoke that it is impossible to see the
actual firer. They are a blood-thirsty
lot, these Arabs, and when the men
lay wounded, they will shot you at a
yards distance. A subadar of the ma
tives was shot in this way. On the
day after the battle, we found jack
ais had been at work"

THE HORRORS
Of FIGHTING
7 He A IA B S
DESCRIPTIVE SCENE IN THE BAT
TILE WITH AN ENEMY OF
WHICH BUT LITTLE is KNOWN
TO CIVILIZATION.

London, Jan. 30.-(Correspondence
of the Associated Press) s)-Fighting
the Turks and Arabs in the desert of
Mesopotamia, where in places even
camels cannot go, where after the Eu-
pirates is left behind, water is more
precious than powder and the tribes
men show not quarter to the wounded,
is described by Sergeant A. Kingdom
of the second battalion Norfolk regi-
ment, in a letter to his mother at Thet-
ford.
I'VE came by ship (from lndia) up
the river Euphrates,' he writes, 'and
disembarked on lovely landing, up to
the waist in mud and water. Not "A
tree in sight, not a blade of grass, eX-
cept on the river banks, which are
covered with date palms We marched
all the next day through mud. Any
thing with wheels cannot be taken,
and packs of mules and camels are no
good, because their big feet pick up
too much sand.
I'VE lay in the wet mud on the des-
ert all night and moved away early
again in the morning, to find the enc
my in position. They consisted of
Turks and Arabs, about | 400 yards to
our front. The attack was pushed
home under cover of our mountain bat
teres; the field artillery came up later
The artillery horses were so complete
ly knocked out that they could not
walk away from the guns when un-
hooked. The troops also were knock
ed out; and in the meantime the enc
mys artillery was having it all their
own way.
"Our rifles were absolutely schoked
inside with mud, and the bolt action
and sights had to be made to work
before an accurate fire could be ef-
fected. Some of the men, rather than
drink the muddy slush from their
water bottles, stood and empted it in
their bolt action, although water is so
scarce, and slush worth gold piece
an ounce.

able to march without one, so ! cut

TAKE SALTS To
FLUSH KIDNEYS
Eat less meat If you feel Backachy
or have Bladder
Trouble.

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
relieve them like you relieve your
bowels; removing all the acids, waste
and poison, else you feel 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, oblig-
ing 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 table
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys will then act fine and blad-
der disorders disappear. This fam
ous salts is made from the acids
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 inexpen-
sive; harmless and makes delight
full efervescent lithia-water drink
which millions of men and women
take now and then, thus avoiding
serious kidney and bladder diseases.

The Union Mission

Well, we are certainly having a
grand revival Brother Anthony and
son of the Nazarene church, are with
us, and there have been thirty-four
saved or sanctified within the last
ten days. We are having large crowds
good interest and deep conviction, and
God is certainly getting to the hearts
of many and some are confessing to
their crooked lives and to the reproach
that has been taken against the mis-
sion work and say they are certainly
convinced that this is a work of God
This work is for the spiritual hunger
as well as to help those who are so
thinly clad, as we had the privilege of
clothing so many precious little ones.
Oh, the general public of this city has
no idea of the awful condition of so
many poor people. We are so thank
full for the help we are receiving from
the city in paying the hall rent and
light bill for us, we certainly appre-
ciate the helping hand that they have
Joined with us in this great work.
Some tell us that times are too hard
to help others much. This is the great
reason we who are able should be so
willing to help those who cannot help
themselves. We ask the public to be
as liberal with us in this work as you
can. We must have money to carry
on this work. so we ask all to just
think of the great need of the real
poor of our city, and help us carry
them over this great calamity Come
on. come all to our services. Our Sun
day school is very interesting. We
have over one hundred enrolled in our
school. We certainly thank the public
for their generosity in this work. For
any information in this work call tele-
phone 991. Respectfully,

MORE LIVE
STOCK THAN
AYEAR AGO
GOVERNMENT STATISTICS CON-
TRAOlCT REPORTS THAT THE
PRICES WILL REACH UMPIRE
CEDENTEO FIGURES

Washington, ID. c., Jan. 3O.-FOr the
first time in many years information
collected by the u. S. Department of
Agriculture shows that all classes of
live stock in the United States are
increasing in numbers. That the real
facts contradict absolutely, sensational
reports that prices for meat and shoes
would rise to unprecedented figures
in the immediate future. 1t has even
been said that government statisti-
clan predicted meat at 80 cents a
pound and shoes at so pair within
the next two years Such prediction,
the real government statisticians say,
is quite unwarranted.
On January l, for example, the
number of beef cattle showed an in
crease of "a per cent over the num-
Der a year ago and an actual increase
of 1,2l2, 600 head Hitherto the number
of beef cattle in the United States has
declined steadily since 1910. There are
also more milch COWS in the country
than last year, the increase being 25
per cent, or in numbers $4,000. Swine,
however, showed the greatest increase
of all classes-9.6 per cent On Janu-
ary /, 1914 there were only 5S,933, 900
CT m fry Inn 1
1915, 64,61S,000. This is accounted for
by the fact that the production of
swine can be increased more rapidly
than that of other classes of live
stock and consequently an enlarged
demand can be met more readily
The prediction of 5O-cent meat and
$40 shoes was accompanied by the de-
claration that France alone has ia
ken from America nearly 100000
horses within the last months and
that the other countries at war have
drawn upon our resources in the same
The facts are that more
horses were on the farms of the United
States on January l, 1915, than there
were a year before, the increase being
233, 900 head or IL per cent. SO far
from France alone having taken 300,-
900 horses from us, the total exports
since the war began have certainly
been much less than 100000 and very
likely not over $4,000. Since there are
approximately 25,OOO,OOO horses alto
yether in the United States, the drain
IN account of the war is scarcely
alarming.
1t is in fact pointed out by govern
nent statisticians that the market
'alue of farm horses has actually de-
;lined to such an extent that the aver
age is now about $6 a head less than
4 year ago. This decline is most no
.iceable in the cotton states and
n those states which make a busi-
less of breeding horses for sale in
)ther sections, mules have declined
even more than horses, their value be-
ng now $11.50 per head less than a
year ago. The explanation is to be
ound in the depression on account
