harbOr of honorable marriage to
wreck her life upon the reef of I'M
lawful passion. And the sins of the
mother were visitel upon the chill
dren, the two pittfuI babies, whose
death was much kinder than life
would have been if they had grown
up under the shadow of ilegitimacy.
Ida Walters Rogers knew SHAME.
Its biting acid had eaten into her
heart during the years she had lived
openly with Rogers in a world which
knew she was not his wife. The poi
son Of detractiOn and contempt was
stirred into her daily life. Its bitter
ness was always on her lips. And
when she heard from the man she
loved that her two babies were con-
demned to a lifetime in the shameful
shadows, is it any wonder the mad
thought came to her that death
would be more kind to them, poison
less bitter? Let no one think this
woman killed in her sane mind.
No sane mother kills. And yet it is
part of the instinct of motherhood to
destroy its young in the face of a
peril!
A ioness will eat her cubs, a moth
er dog deVour her puppies if she
thinks danger threatens them. And
this mad act Of destruction has it's
origin in the mothers beautiful in
stinct to prOtect-tO save her young.
And, sometimes the mother has to
eat her young to save them from the
marauding male to whom they owe
their lives.
Ida Rogers is of this type of moth
er. We women who think before we
act, reason before we love, who dwell
in the temperate zone of the affec-
lions and know nothing of the equa-
tOrial storms of lawless passion may
not understand her wholly.
But we know that if she is guilty
there is a man more guilty and that
she has paid dearly and dOublY for

BIG EATERS HAVE BAD
KIDNEYS AND BACKACHE
Take a Glass of Salts at Once If Your
Back Is Hurting or Kidneys and
Bladder Trouble You.

The American men and women must
guard constantly against Kidney trou-
BILE, because we eat too much and all
our food is rich. Our blood is filled
with uric acid which the kidneys
strive to filter out, they weaken from
%overwork, become sluggish; the elimi-
native tissues clog and the result is
kidney trouble, bladder weakness and
a general decline in health.
When your kidneys feel like Jumps
of lead; your back hurts or the urine
is cloudy, full of sediment or you are
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night; if you suffer
with sick headache or dizzy, nervous
spells, acid stomach, or you have rheu-
matism when the weather is bad, get
from your pharmacist about four
ounces of Jad Salts; take a table
spoonful in a glass Of water before
breakfast for a few days and your kid
neys will then act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with Hthia,
and has been used for generations to
flush and stimulate clogged kidneys;
to neutralize the acids in the urine SO
1t no longer is a source of irritation,
thus ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in

Whitewater beverage, and belongs in
every home, because nobody can make
a mistake by having a good kidney

The man who works with his muscles

"The essentials for a good nights
rest are mental repose, a requisite
amount of muscular fatigue, comfort

SAGE TEA AND SULPHUR
DARKENS YOUR GRAY HAIR
Look Years Younger! Try Grandma's
Recipe Of Sage and Sulphur and
Nobody Will Know.

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 we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Hair Remedy" You will get a
large bottle for about so cents. Every
body uses this old, famous recipe, be-
cause 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 a time; by morn
ing the gray hair disappears. and
after another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, thick
and glossy and you look years younger.
