 When your kidneys throb with a, dull ache, when they feel like Jumps of lead, when you have severe headaches, nervous and dizzy spells sleeplessness, tired feel ing. constipation and bladder disorders, you can make up your mind that these troubles come from weak, sluggish kid neys.
 You can help the weakened kidneys and put them in good working order again by asking your drucgist for about five ounces of Rheumasalts. Take two tea spoonfuls in F glass of water before break fast for a few mornings and the results will surprise you.
 Rheumasalts acts quickly without grip ing or nausea. It is delicious to take. It is a uric acid solvent as well as 8 saline axative-lelghtfully effcrvescent
 These famous salts are very inexpen- siye. Every one can profitably take little Rheuma It's occasionally to keep the kidneys clean. working and efficient.

"TTPPY" TO STAGE BOUTS.
Head of Expressmen's Organization
 Win Apply for License

Thomas W. Fay, expressman, vaude- vile impressario, politician and cam paign orator, is about to return to his old love with the aid of the license committee and expects to put on a classy boxing show in this city either late this month or early in March. The fact that "Tippy" Fay is putting his shoulder to the wheel in this di- rection is enough proof that it will be a success as "Tippy' never managed any affair yet that was not bowling success.
 Fay conducted boxing bouts in this city several years ago and while they have not been recent success he be- lieves that he owns the secret of of making them successful. To begin with he will charge only fifty, seventy-five and a dollar and he ex- poets to pack the people into the hall.

DARKEN GRAY HAIR,
 LOOK YOUNG, PRETTY
Grandma's Receipc of Sage Tea and Sulphur Darkcns So Naturally
 That Nobody Can Tell


 That Nobody Can Tell
 Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly com pounded, brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded, streaked or gray; also ends dsr1druff, itching scalp and stops fau- ing hair. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make it at home, which is mussy and trouble some. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for ''Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound you will get a Ia rke bottle of this famous oll recipe for about 50 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 so1 brush with it and draw this though your hair, taking one small stand at time; by morning the gray hair disappears. and after another application or two. your hair becomes heautifully dark. thick and glossy.
