SAGE AND SULPHUR
DARKENS GRAY HAIR
It's Grandmother's Recipe to Restore
Color, Gloss and Attrac-
tiveness

Almost everyone knows that sage tea
and sulphur, properly compounded,
brings back the natural color and luster
to the hair when faded, streaked or gray.
Years ago the only way to get this mix
ture was to make it at home, which is
mussy and troublesome. Nowadays, by
asking at any drug store for "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound you will
get a large bottle of this famous old
recipe improved by the addition of other
ingredients, for about 80 cents.
Don't stay gray! Try it! No one can
possibly tell that you darkened your
hair, as il does it so naturally and even
ly You dampen sponge or soft brush
with it, and draw this through your hair,
taking one small strand at time; by
the gray hair disappears, and
after another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy
and attractive.
Wyeths Sage and Sulphur Compound
is delightful toilet requisite for those
who desire dark hair and youthful
appearance. 1t is not intended for the
,ure, mitigation or prevention of disease.

Hair Stops Falling Out and Gets Thick,

Your hair becomes light, wavy, fluffy,
abundant and appears as soft, lustrous

will cleanse the hair of dust, dirt and eN-
cessive oil and in just few moments
you have doubled the beauty of your
hair.
Besides identifying the hair at once,
Danderine dissolves every particle of
dandruff; cleanses, puri6es and invigor-

and falling hair.
But what will please you most will be
after a few weeks use, when you will
actually see new hair-fne and downy

The Greatest Reporter.

which lies between literature and jour

SALTS IF BACKACHY
AND KIDNEYS HURT
Stop Eating Meat for a While if Your
Bladder Is Troubling
You

When you wake up with backache anC
dull misery in the kidney region, it gen.
orally means you have been eating toe
much meat, says well-known authority
Meat forms uric acid which overworks
the kidneys in their effort TO filter il
from the blood and they become sort of
paralyzed and loggy. When your kid
neys get sluggish and clog, you must re-
lieve them, like you relieve your bowels /;
removing all the body's urinous waste,
else you have backache, sick headache,
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 relief two or three times during
the night.
Either consult a good, reliable physi-
clan at once or get from your pharmacist
about four ounces of Jad Salts; take
tablespoonful in glass of water before
breakfast for 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 lithia,
and has been used for generations to
clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also
to neutralize acids in the urine SO it no
longer irritates, thus ending bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts is life saver for regular
meat eaters. 1t is inexpensive, cannot
njure and makes delightful efferves-
'ent lithia water drink.-Ady.

KILLING VERMIN
WITH ACID GAS
Farmers Bulletin 600 Describes Excellent
Method for Those About to Move
Into Country Homes.

Those contemplating moving into a
new house and especially those about ia
re-occupy country homes Cor rent sum.
mer cottages which may harbor vermin
would do well, before they actually oc.
cupy these houses, to consider fumigat-
ing with hydrocyanic-acid gas to eradi,
cate bedbugs and other pests. This gas,
as well as the sodium cyanid from which
| IL is made, however; is one of the most
poisonous substances known and the in
haation OF a few breaths of the gas will
result in death unless the victim be
promptly rescued. For this reason those
contemplating its use should first read
carefully farmers bulletin 500, hydrocy-
anic.acld gas against household insects,
recently issued by the department. This
bulletin, by l.. o, Howard and G. H. Pc.
pence, describes in detail the manner in
which the gas is manufactured and used
and the precautions which must be taken
to avoid accident.
Hydrocyanic-acid gas, however is one
of the most eiiicacious agents in Kidding
households of such pests as bedbugs, ncas,
cockroaches, ants, clothes moths, etc.
Rats and mice, when exposed to its
fumes, run ont of their holes into the
open and die there. There is thus no sub
sequent annoyance from dead rodents in
the walls and under flooring.
Even when only one room of the house
is to be fumigated, the bulletin says, the
entire house must be vacated and so
closed and marked with signs that ~
eryone is kept out. The windows in such
a house must be equipped with ropes
so that they can be opened from the out |
side when the fumgation is done III
the house is close to another, especially !
if its windows are below those in an ad- |
joining house, care must be taken to pro-
tect neighbors. This is especially neces
sary in the case OF a house in row, ,
If the partitions separating
houses are not tight, or If its attic or
'oof air space communicates with thosD
n the neighboring houses. For these
'easons, in the case of summer cottages
It beaches, it is safest and easiest to
umigate before the family or neighbors
AVE moved in, when there is plenty
i time to air the house completely after

Fuel Briquet Industry In 1915.

over a million dollars worth of bri-
quets were made out of waste coal dust
in 1915, the exact production being 22l-
537 short tons. valued at 81 ,035,7l6. This
was the largest output in the United
States for any year with the exception
of 1914. The manufacture of this type
OF fuel is, however. still in its infancy,
and according to G. +. Lesher. of the
United States geological survey, a good
many years viii probably elapse before
the briquet industry assumes very large
proportions The work OF briquetting
this lowgrade material and converting
it into fuel suitable for higher uses is.
however, practicable conservation and as
such deserves far more attention than
il now receives in this country. Europe
an countries more thrifty in their use
OF coal, have developed the briquctting
industry to large proportions. Most Of
the mechanical difficulties OF manufac-
turc have been solved in this country
and the future growth OF the industry
now depends upon the development Of
