Be PRETTY! TURN
GRAY HAIR DARK
cipe Of Sage Tea and
Sulphur.

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 drug
store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound you will get a large bot
tie of this 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
application or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, thick and glossy.

REPORT MANY CASES
OF RHEUMATISM NOW
Says we must keep feet dry; avoid
exposure and eat
less meat.

Stay off the damp ground. avoid ex-
posture, keep feet dry, eat less meat,
drink lots of water and above all take
spoonful or salts occasionally to
keep down uric acid.
Rheumatism is caused by poisonous
toxin, called uric acid, which is gene
rated in the bowels and absorbed into
the blood. 1t is the function of the
kidneys to filter this acid from the
blood and cast it out in the urine. The
pores of the skin are also means of
freeing the blood Of this impurity. In
damp and chilly, cold weather the skin
pores are closed, thus forcing the kid
neys to do double work, they become
weak and sluggish and fail to elimi-
nate this uric acid which keeps accu-
mulating and circulating through the
system. eventually settling in the
joints and muscles causing stiffness,
soreness and pain called rheumatism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism
Get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Salts; put tablespoon
ful in a glass of water and drink be-
fore breakfast each morning for
week. This is said to eliminate uric
acid by stimulating the kidneys to
normal action. thus Kidding the blood
of these impurities.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia
and is used with excellent results by
thousands of folks who are subject to
rheumatism. Here you have a plea
SAINT effervescent Whitewater drink
which overcomes uric acid and is
nenencial to your kidneys as well.

! ment and reform committee has pre-
pared. Either Of the others mentioned
for the place would be on the commit
tee just what Senator Mates was, and
he was ardently for the reform pro-
gram. Naturally the other members
of the committee want the retrench-
ment and reform committee fixed up to
be to their liking. Savage has been ap-
preached to find out what his position
would be and the response was not sat
isfactory. Hence the rumpus.
1t is already evident that there are
going to be two schools of "reformers"
active, or at least more than one line
of suggestions as to how to get better
results in government. One of these
i is the proposal to revolutionize the ex-
ecutive branches of government and
put in time clock; the other is to
make some material reduction in the
expenses of the legislative branch and
changes in the executive and judicial
branches. Between the two schools
there Is, of course some rivalry as to
which one shall get the start in the
race.
1t is pretty certain the house end of
the retrenchment and reform commit
tee will take different view of what
to reform and where to begin from in
the last house. If Barry, Anderson and
Griffin go to the head of the big COM
mittees it will mean conservative
committee disposed to proceed with
caution Charley Miller may be NAM
ed by Speaker Atkinson to continue as
one Of the democratic members.
The committee on retrenchment and
reform-the old committee which in
cludes some of the ex-members-has
been hard at work on the bills to be
presented to carry out the revolution
airy program. Some of them will be
ready next week. They are sure to
cause great deal of discussion. If to
these are added the bills to carry out
what the governor has suggested and
the joint resolutions for constitutional
amendments, the legislature will have
before it program sufficient for many
weeks of earnest discussion.
But the "wet' vs. dry" skirmish is
only sham; the real fight for control
Of committees has relation to some
thing else. It will pay to bear this in
mind and watch the outcome.

! In making the Saratoga chips, Miss
Peet cautioned her hearers against
allowing the fat to become hot enough
to smoke, as it is then burning and Is
entirely indigestible. Her recipe for
the delicious chips which inspired her
audience with desire to create, Is
, given below:
Cut potatoes on a slicer, soak in cold
water one hour, wipe thoroughly with
cheese-cloth or towels. Fry in deep
Crisco. Drain potatoes. Turn on piece
of cheese cloth or towels. Sprinkle
with salt.
AS souffles of all kinds are recon-
mended for invalids and children, and
the food value of nuts is recognized,
Miss Poet especially recommends her
nut souffle, the righteousness of which
is sufficient guarantee for its popular
ity. The directions for making it are
as follows:
l tablespoonful gelatine, II cupful
cold water, " cupful boiling water,
we'll beaten egg whites, y cupful
powdered sugar, 1 teaspoonful vanilla,
1 cupful walnut meats cut fine with
scissors.
Soak gelatine in cold water. When
soft add the boiling water. When the
gelatine begins to set, pour gradually
over the beaten egg whites. Beat 20
minutes, adding sugar and flavoring
gradually. Then lastly add the walnut
meats When the mixture begins 20
stiffen, place in mold and allow to set.
