and spoke crisply to his driver. They
stopped at the Plaza Hotel. and the
man, hurrying up the steps. suddenly
paused With n smile he drew from
his pocket a tiny gold watch and
opened It. Inside the lid was the pic
ture of beautiful girl with hand
some collie. The black Nandyked
man gazed at the picture for mo-
ment in frowning meditation. 1t was
the runaway bride,
AS he entered the hotel Ned's taxi
with the futtering white ribbons
passed and turned into the park, inst
as June Warner turned out of II at
Seventy-second Street, heading for
Riverside Drive.
At that hour Iris Blethering sat
pouring her voluble sadness into the
ears of Robbie in the Blethering honre
on Riverside Drive. She had been

DRUGS EXCITE YOUR
KIDNEYS, USE SALTS
II your Back is aching or Bladder
bothers, drink lots of water
and eat less meat.

When your kidneys hurt and your back
feels sore, don't get scared and proceed
to load your stomach with a lot of drugs
that excite the kidneys and irritate the
entire urinary tract. Keep your kidneys
clean like you keep your bowels clean,
by flushing them with q mild, harmless
salts which removes the body's urinous
waste and stimulates them to their nor
NAL activity. The function of the kid
neys is to filter the blood. In "a hours
they strain from it 500 grains of acid
and waste, so we can readily understand
the vital Importance of keeping the kid
neys active
Drink lots of water-you can't drink
too much; also get from any pharmacist
about four ounces of Jad Salts; take
a tablespoonful in d glass of water
before breakfast each morning for few
days and your kidneys will act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia, and has been used for genera.
tions to clean and stimulate clogged kid
neys; also to neutralize the acids in
urine SO it no longer is a source of irri'
tation, thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot IN
jure; makes q delightful effervescent
Whitewater drink which everyone should
take now and then to keep their kid
neys clean and active. Try this, also
keep up the water drinking, and no
doubt you will wonder what became of
your kidney trouble and backache.

COMB SAGE TEA IN
HAIR To DARKEn IT
Grandma kept her locks dark, glossy,
thick with a mixture Of Sage
Tea and Sulphur.

The old-time mixture of Sage Tea and
Sulphur for darkening gray, streaked
and faded hair is grandmother's treat
ment, and folks are again using it to
keep their hair good, even color, which
is quite sensible, as we are living In an
age when youthful appearance is OF the
greatest advantage.
Nowadays, though, we don't have the
troublesome task of gathering the sage
and the mussy mixing at home. All
drug stores sell the ready-to-use product
called ''Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound" for about so cents a bottle
1t is very popular because nobody can
discover it has been applied. Simply
moisten your comb or soft brush with it
and draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at time; by morning
the gray hair disappears, but what de-
Lights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur is that, besides beautifully
darkening the hair after a few applica-
lions, it also produces that soft lustre
and appearance of abundance which is so
attractive; besides, prevents dandruff,
itching scalp and falling hair.

very fast when the breadwinner lost

thew were found by the nurse in
very poor little three room cottage.
Even here, however, the family
was saving a much needed room,
while the patient slept and lived
in the warm. unventilated kitchen.
BY dint of much persuasion, tact
and personal work while the fam
ily looked on, the nurse Transformed
the spare room" into a reasonably
satisfactory sick room and estaD-
lished her patient there. With clean
sheets and the bed made as only
well trained nurse seems to kno"
how to do it, the patient was very
much more comfortable than he had
been
Rv this demonstration the nurse
gained the respect of the fam1ly III
way that no amount OF lecturlhe
and talking down to them couio
have accomplished. The patient mac
a new respect for knowledge ane

comfortable in so short time ah'

The Saint of "Confederate Rest"


The soul of a poet as Wen as d
saint resided in Mrs. Alice water
man. the subject of this brief tr1b-
ute When Island No. 10 was cap
tured. in April, 1862, a few hundred
of the Confederate prisoners taken
were sent north to Camp Randaii'
at Madison, Wisconsin. Their con-
stitutions broken by exposure and
disease, they died like flies IN their
Northland prison. The bodies of those
who thus perished-at times as
MANY as ten day-were laid away
in a plot of ground at the edge OF
Forest Hill Cemetery. The spot
soon became known locally as Con-
federate Rest. With the passage OF
years. however, it bid fair to be
forgotten, when southern porn
woman came to Madison to live.
Learning of the lonely graves in
Confederate Rest she undertook,
single-handed, the work OF beautl-
flying the spot We have not space
to tell the story of her long labor
of love. but the tangible results OF
her work may be seen by any ylsl-
tor to Madison who will take the
trouble to ride out to the beautiful
and we'll kept ground where the dead
Confederates rest" Although to-
tai stranger to them in life, Mrs.
Waterman always called them 'My
boys" She planted an evergreen
hedge around the plot to keep the
wind off my boys, and white lilacs
amid the graves because they would
blossom even when she was "not
there to watch them; and she gave
as her reason for setting out two
butternut trees, that 1.-The children
will go there to gather the nuts,
and thus make the place more pleas
ant by their presence"
Mrs Waterman died at Madison
in 1897 Her body was laid away
beside ''her boys in Confederate
Rest; her memory is enshrined in
the hearts of their surviving com
rades of the First Alabama Regi
ment.
