salts If KIDNEYS
On BLADDER BOTHER
Harmless to flush Kidneys and neutral
ize irritating ids-Splendid
for system.

Kidney and Bladder weakness result
from uric acid, says a noted authority.
The kidneys filter this acid from the
blood and pass it on to the bladder, where
it often remains to irritate and infianle,
causing burning, scalding sensation, or
setting up an irritation at the neck q
the bladder, obliging you to seek relief
two or three times during the night.
The sufferer is in constant dread, the
water passes sometimes with a sca1diug
sensation and is very profuse; again,
there is difficulty IN avoiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call it,
because they can't control urination.
While it IS extremely annoying and some
times very painful, this is really one Of
the most simple ailments to overcome.
Get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from your pharmacist and take a. table
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast, continue this for two or three
days. This will neutralize the acids in
the urine so it no longer is a source Of
Irritation TO the bladder and urinary or
gans which then act normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless,
and is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon Juice, combined with lithia, and
is used By thousands of folks who are
subject to urinary disorders caused by
uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is splen-
did fer kidneys and causes no bad
effects whatever.
Here you have a pleasant, efervescent
Whitewater drink, which quickly relieves
bladder trouble.

Recipe Of Sage Tea and
Sulphur.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked

this mixture was to make it at home,
which is mussy and troublesome.

drug store for ''Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" You will get a large
bottle Of this old-time recipe improved
by the addition Of other ingredients,
at very little cost. Everybody uses
this preparation now, because no one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it SO naturally
and evenly. You dampen q, sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap
pllcation or two, your lair becomes
bea utifully dark, thick and glossy and
you look years younger. Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound is a delightful
toilet requisite 1t is not intended for
the cure, mite, alton or prevention Of

THERE rs>no FOOD SHORTAGE,

All this stillyGot about short. age of foodstutf in this country is circulated either by the ignor- ant which comprises fully half the people, or it is advertised by designing food speculators There is plenty of wheat to last until harvest. In fact harvest is now beginning in Texas and southern states and it will be but a few weeks until Oklahoma will be threshing grain. Within sixty days most of the winter wheat will be cut. It is estimat- ed by conservative government experts that there will be 1000, 100000 bushels of surplus wheat this year when the spring wheat crop is harvested. The shortage can exist only in the amount of export wheat. The same may be said of every other kind of product. The United States will have plenty and to spare. We may not be able to supply all demands or fill every order but that there will be a great abundance, is assured.
 The farmers of the nation are alert and any and all crops that bid fair to find market, will be produced. IF the meantime, swat the food speculator, the man who is trying to create a scare so he can secure larger profits. = Messenger.

 affected and the number of men
 to be selected include New Mex

 The cattle ranges in the coun- try surrounding Benson have
 been in worse condition for grazing this spring than in many years, the grass and vege- tation being held back by the drought and the unusual late ness of the season. A number of owners have lost cattle, some of them dying from the lack of sufficient forage growth on the ranges. It is hoped that the mesquite bushes, which are be- ginning to put out, wial relieve the situation until the rains and warmer weather cause grass and vegetation to come out and restore normal conditions.

 The big light on the top of the butte is attracting atten tion all over the valley. It can be seen very distinctly from Goldfield and Granite Reef in the east, and from many miles the other side of Phoenix in the west, ac- cording to people coming from those points. From wherever t can be seen it suggests Tempe and it's enterprise, and it will soon become a guiding point for night travellers for miles around and will give Tempe more steady advertising than almost anything else that has ever been done.
