Half Your Living
Without Money Cost

A right or wrong start in 1917 will
make or break most farmers in the
South. We are all facing crisis.
This war In Europe puts things in
such uncertainty that no man can
foresee the future with any degree Of
clearness.
The sure and certain increase in
cotton acreage means lower cotton
prices next fall. Cost Of all food and
grain products is high, so high that
no one can afford to buy and expect
to pay out with cotton.
It's a time above all others to play
safe; to produce all possible food.

own acres; to cut down the store bill.
A good piece Of garden ground,
rightly planted, rightly tended and

No Newsboys Required.

A Rochester newspaper has accom-
plished the task of selling newspapers
without the aid Of newsboys in the out
lying districts Of the city. This has
been done with the aid of a motor
truck, q number of sacks and coin
receptacles. The sacks are placed on
poles or tree branches, and contain 20
to 40 papers each They carry signs
reading: "Take paper and deposit coin
in coin receptacle" The motor truck
delivers the sacks to their various po-
sitions in the morning and collects the
empties and receipts in the evening.
The returns. show that very few PEG.
pie neglect to pay for the papers they
take. The sales average 80 papers
to the sack, and represent additional
business. Investigation among the
news dealers of the city also shows
that they have not lost by reason Of
the new scheme. 1t is evident that the
sacks serve class of people who went
without papers before, because they
could not be served by the newsboy
system.-Walf Street Journal.

DARKEN GRAY HAIR,
LOOK YOUNG, PRETTY
Sage Tea and Sulphur Darkens
So Naturally that No
body can tell.

Hair that loses it's color and 1ustre, or
wien it fades, turns gray, dull and life
less, is caused by lack of sulphur in
the hair. Our grandmother made up
mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to
keep her locks dark and beautiful, and
thousands of women and men who value
that even color, that beautiful dark
shade of hair which is so attractive, use
only this old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mixture
improved by the addition of other ingredi-
ents by asking at any drug store for So
cent bottle Of "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" which darkens' the
hair SO naturally, SO evenly, that nobody
can possibly tell it has been applied. You
just dampen sponge or soft brush with
it, and draw this through your hair, tax.
ing one small strand at time. By morn
ing the gray hair disappears; but what
delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound, is that, besides beau
tifully darkening the hair after few
applications, it also brings back the gloss
and lustre and gives it an appearance
of abundance.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
is a delightful toilet requisite to impart
color and youthful appearance to the
hair. It is not intended for the cure,
mitigation or prevention of disease.

SALTS IF KIDNEYS
OR BLADDER BOTHER
Harmless to flush Kidneys and neutral
ize irritating acids Splendid
for system

Kidney and Bladder weakness result
from uric acid, says q noted authority.
The kidneys filter this acid from the
blood and pass it on to the bladder, where
it often remains to irritate and infame,
causing a burning, scalding sensation, or.
setting up an irritation at the neck Of
the bladder, obiging you to seek relief
two or three times during the night.
The sufferer is in constant dread. the
water passes sometimes. with scalding
sensation and is very profuse; again,
there is difficulty in avoiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks cali it,
because they can't control nrination.
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 table
spoonful in glass of water before
breakfast, continue this for two or three
days. This viii neutralize the acids ii
the Urine so it no longer is 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 for kidneys and causes no bad
effects whatever.
Here you have a pleasant, effervescent
Whitewater drink, which quickly relieves
bladder trouble.
