SAGEITFII DANDY -
TO DARKEN HAIR
LOOK YEARS Y0UNGER-USE THE
OLD-TlME SAGE TEA AND
SULPHUR AND NOBODY
WILL KNOW

You can turn gray, faded hair beau
tifully dark and lustrous almost over
night if you'll get a 5O-cent bottle of
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound"
at any drug store. Millions of bottles
of this old famous Sage Tea Recipe are
told annually, says a well-known drug
gist here, because it darkens the hair
so naturally and evenly that no one
can tell it has been applied.
Those whose hair is turning gray,
becoming faded, dry scraggly and thin
have a surprise awaiting them, because
after one or two applications the gray
hair vanishes and your locks become
luXuriantly dark and beautiful-all
dandruff goes, scalp itching and fall
ing hair stops.
This is the age of youth. Gray-hair-
ed, unattractive folks aren't want
ed around, SO get busy with Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur tonight, and you'll
be delighted with your dark, handsome
hair and your youthful appearance
within few days.

IF KIDNEYS ACT =
BA6lTAKE:' SAL7S
SAYS BACKACHE is A SIGN YOU
HAVE BEEN EATING TOO MUCH
MEAT, WHICH FORMS URIC
ACID.

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region
it generally means you have been
eating too much meat, says a we'll
known authority. Meat forms uric
acid which overworks the kidneys in
their effort to filter it from the blood
and they become sort of paralyzed
and loggy. When your kidneys get
sluggish and clog you must relieve
them, like you relieve your bowels /;
removing all the body's urinous waste,
else you have backache, dizzy spells !;
your stomach sours, tongue is coated
and when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full of sediment, channels often
get sore, water scalds and you are
obliged to seek two or three times dur
ing the night.
Either consult good, reliable physi-
clan at once or get from your pharma-
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in a glass of wa
ter before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to clean and stimulate
sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize
acids in the urine so it no longer ir-
ritates, thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is a life saver for regular
meat eaters. 1t is inexpensive, cannot
injure and makes a delightful, effer-
vescent Whitewater drink,

GEORGIA BANKERS To
Be WELL REPRESENTED

ATLANTA, Ga Nov. 19-Georgia is
to be represented by F. S. Ethridge,
president of the Georgia Bankers As
ISOLATION, and by other prominent
bankers of this state, at the Seemed
Conference of Cotton States bankers
which will be held in New Orleans on
December 9th and 7th, and at which
will be discussed many points of vital
importance to financial and general
business affairs throughout the South.
The conference will stress the i'm
portance of general warehouse con-
struction in the south, In which, by
the way, Georgia is already taking a
leading part. 1t will advocate the
gradual marketing of cotton, the i'm
portance of uniform warehouse laws
for the cotton states and of uniform
negotiable warehouse receipt.
Crop diversifcation will also be one
of the points urged at the conference,
and steps will be taken to encourage
the live stock industry in every way
possible to meet the inroads of the
boil weevil. The raising of sufficient
feed crops during 1915 resulted in the
southern farmer making his cotton at
the lowest cost in many years,
strengthened his holding ability, and
by automatically refusing his cotton
acreage resulted in good price for
cotton. But it is believed that unless
vigorous and continued efforts are
made by southern bankers and bust
ness men, that southern farmers may
make the mistake of reverting to an
all-cotton crop for 1916, tempted by
the present high price of the staple.
The meeting will be attended by a
representative of the federal reserve
board, and the governors of the south
ern federal reserve banks will also be
invited.

NATIONS RAILROADS

ATLANTA, Ca, Nov. 19-What the
railroads of the country are entitled
to receive for carrying the mails, and
the equitable and just manner by
which rates for compensation shall be
established, is the subject of timely
article prepared for the Manufacture
ers Record by Prof Edgar B. Kay, OF
Tuscaloosa, Ala, and which has caus-
ed much favorable comment among
railroad men throughout Georgia and
adjoining states. Professor Kay has
had unusual opportunities for studying
railroad problems, having been for
twelve years up to January of this
year, the consulting engineer of the
Alabama Railroad Commission.
Professor Kay pays particular atten-
ton to the parcels post service and its
effect upon the revenues of the rail-
road companies. 1t is reported in
some mountain districts, where freight
costs by wagon are very heavy, entire
stocks of groceries are now being sent
by parcels post, coal, flour, hardware
and such things going through the
mails by simply being done up into
50-pound packages.
The review of the situation made by
Professor Kay is worthy of the serious
attention of the entire public 1t is
impossible for the railroads to be Grip
pied without the public being hurt,
and the subject is, therefore, one in
which the interests of everybody is in
volved. The railroads are asking for
more money for hauling the mails, but
so far nothing has been done for their
relief The Manufacturers Record
takes the position that If the govern
ment through the postoffice department
has the right to deprive the railroads
of Just dues and then refuse to give
them the right of appeal to the courts,
that it sets an example that would
cause a serious trend to deterioration /
of American character in its judgment
as to right and wrwong.

NUMBER OF STUDENTS
ARE STUDYING SPANISH

ATHENS, Ca, Nov. 19-For several
years there has been a slow but steady
increase in the number of University
students taking Spanish. This must
mean that more Georgia boys than US
ual are thinking of taking up work III
Cuba, Porto Rico, the Philippines, the
Central or South American countries,
Panama, or later on in Mexico. A
knowledge of the Spanish language is
worth much to those who go to those
countries.

has been satisfactory Reports will
