GRANDMA USED SAGE
TEA TO DARKEN HAIR
She Mixed Sulphur with 1t to Restore
Color, Gloss, Thick
ness

Common garden sage brewed into a
heavy tea with sulphur and alcohol add
ed, will turn gray, streaked and faded
hair beautifully dark and luxuriant, re-
move every bit of dandruif, stop scalp
itching and falling hair. Just few app
plications win prove revelation ii your
hair is fading, gray or dry, scraggly and
thin. Mixing the sage tea and sulphur
recipe at home, though, is troublesome,
An easier way is to get the ready-t
tonic costing about 80 cents a large bot
tie at drug stores, known as "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" thus
a voiding lot of muss.
While wispy, gray, faded hair is not
sinful, we all desire to retain our youth
full appearance and attractiveness. BY
your hair with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur, no one can tell, because it
does so naturally, so evenly. You just
dampen sponge or soft brush with it
and draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at a time; by morning
all gray hairs have disappeared, and,
after another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy,
soft and uxuriant. ADV.

EAT LESS AND TAKE
SALTS FOR KIDNEYS
Take q Glas of Salts If Your Back
Hurts or Bladder
Bothers

The American men and women must
guard constantly against kidney trouble,
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 oyerwork, become
sluggish; the eliminative tissues clog and
the result is kidney trouble, bladder
weakness and 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 rheumatism when
the weather is bad, get from your phar-
macist about four ounces of Jad Salts
take a tablespoonful in glass of water
before breakfast for few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with litha,
and has been used for generations toI
flush and stimulate clogged kidneys; to
the acids in the urine so il
no longer is a source of irritation, thus
ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in

NO LUSITANIA
SETTLEMENT
Announcement That End OF
Controversy Reached
Unfounded
INDIGNATION IN
OFFICIAL CIRCLES
Report Is Believed to Have
Emanated from Ger
man Sources

Washington Jan. 26.--Great indigna'
ton existed yesterday in administration
circles over what is branded as the "un-
founded" announcement yesterday morn
ing that settlement had been reached
in the Lusitania controversy.
Secretary of State Lansing, abruptly
refusing to state whether or not he had
received any communication from Ger
many bearing on the issue, authorized
the newspaper meh'to quote him as say
ing;
"The storics printed this morning are
wholly unfounded and comprise speeula-
ton that is not justified by the facts"
At the same time it is understood
from reliable sources that communica-
ton of some kind has been delivered TO
the American government, that it has
been before the president since Monday,
and that it is unsatisfactory. II is un-
derstood that Germany has again failed
to meet the demands of the United
States with respect to a disavowal of the
sinking of the Lusitania.
There is strong disposition in many
quarters to charge the premature an
nouncement yesterday morning as hav-
ing been inspired from German sources,
where confidence has been expressed for
a week that Germany and the United
States would reach thorough and COM
plete understanding
The cabinet meeting considered the
whole situation at length yesterday. and
there is a strong belief in many quar-
.ers that as result of the stories print
ID yesterday morning Secretary Lansing
nay refuse to continue the negotiations
IN the present confidential basis and
nay insist on a showdown of some sort. !
After the cabinet meeting, several
members stated that the Lusitania case
lad not been discussed.
Count Won Bernstorif, the German am
'assador. conferred later In the day with I
secretary Lansing over the status of the
incident.
