COMB SAGE TEA
INTO GRAY HAIR
Darkens Beautifully and Restores
Its Natural Color and
Lustre at Once.

Common garden sage brewed into a
heavy tea, with sulphur and alcohol
added, will turn gray, streaked and
faded hair beautifully dark and luxuri-
ant. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur
recipe at home, though, is troublesome.
An easier way is to get the ready-to-
use preparation improved by the addi-
ton of other ingredients, costing about
so cents large bottle, at drug stores,
known as "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound thus avoiding lot of
muss.
While gray, faded hair is not sinful,
we all desire to retain our youthful ap-
pearance and attractiveness. By dark
ening your hair with Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound, no one can tell,
because it does it so naturally, SO
evenly. You just dampen sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time; by morning all gray
hairs have disappeared. After another
application or two your hair becomes
beautifully dark, glossy, soft and lux
uriant and you appear years younger.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
is a delightful toilet requisite. 1t is
not intended for the cure, mitigation
or prevention Of disease.

WORLD PEACE RousEs soRAH

Tells Michigan Society Wilson Idea
Conflicts With 6. Washington.
Washington, D. C.-Senator Borah
of Idaho, who will be one of the re-
publican critics of President Wilson's
peace address when the subject is
debated in the senate, declared in a
speech before the Michigan Society
of Washington recently that all pro-
posals of alliances and leagues to
enforce world peace inevitably would
commit the United States to course
in direct conflict to the policy of
Washington and Monroe.
If the people of this country want
to enter European politics." the SEN
ator said, take part in European
controversies, become entangled in
the dynastic discussions, if they want
to furnish money and soldiers, ships
and men to be subject to the call
of some tribunal or league, in which
tribunal we will have but one vote,
very we'll. The people have right
to enter that perilous course If they
choose, for this is the peoples gov
eminent. But let us understand per-
fectly what it means before we take
the step. Let us not be deceived
nor deceive ourselves. We should
debate and consider every step be-
fore we take it, for these are the
steps which once taken it is impos-
sible for people to retrace."

IF BACKACHY OR
KIDNEYS BOTHER
Eat less meat also take glass of
Salts before eating
breakfast.

Uric acid in meat excites the kid
neys, they become overworked; get
sluggish, ache, and feel like Jumps of
lead. The urine becomes cloudy; the
bladder is irritated, and you may be
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night. When the kid.
neys clog, you must help them flush
off the body's urinous waste or you'll
be real sick person shortly. At first
you feel a dull misery in the kidney
region, you suffer from backache, sick
headache, dizziness, stomach gets sour
tongue coated and you feel rheumatic
twinges when the weather Is bad.
Eat less meat, drink lots Of water;
also get from any pharmacist four
ounces Of Jad Salts; take table
spoonful in glass of water before
breakfast for fey 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 clogged kidneys and stimulate
them to normal activity, also to neu
tralize the acids in urine, 80 1t nc
longer is a source Of irritation, thus
ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot in
jure; makes delightful effervescen,
Whitewater drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep the
kidneys clean and active. Druggists
here say they sell lots of Jad salts tt
folks who believe in overcoming kid
ney trouble while it is only trouble.

With the Fingers!
Says Corns Lift Out
Without Any Pain

You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
at least once week invited an awful
death from lockjaw or blood poison
are now told by Cincinnati authority
to use drug called freezone, which
the moment few drops are applied
to any corn or callus the soreness is
relieved and soon the entire corn or
callus, root and all, lifts off with the
fingers.
Freezone dries the moment it is ap-
piled, and simply shrivels the corn or
callus without infaming or even irri-
tating the surrounding tissue or skin.
A small bottle of. freezone will cost
very little at any of the drug stores,
but will positively rid ones feet of
every hard or soft corn or hardened
callus. If your druggist hasn't any
freezone he can get it at any whole
sale drug house for you.

Mrs. Lincoln sTEARNs.

NOTE: 1t is now asserted with con-
fdence that these painful effects due to
uric acid in the system are entirely eradi-
Gated. A new remedy, called eAnuric,"
has been discovered by DIR. Pierce, and is
the cause of a drainage outward of the
uric acid with which it comes in contact
within the body. 1t will ward off back
aches of artcular or muscular rheuma-
tism-of those diseases which are caused
by too much uric acid, such as govt,
asthma, scatca, renal calculus. Van
uric prolongS life because old people uSu-
ally suffer from hardening and thickening
of the walls of the arteries, due to the ex
cess of uric acid in the blood and tissues.
Dr. Pierce, who is director and chief
physician at the Invalids' Hotel and
been testing this wonderful medicine for
the relief OF over worked and weakened
kidneys. The relief obtained by sufferers
has been so satisfactory that he deter
mined to place vAnuric" in the prin-
Cipal stores in town; or send Doctor
Pierce 10 cents for large trial package.
oAnurc" is not harmful or poisonous,
but aids mature in throwing off those
poisons within the body which cause so
much suffering, pain and misery. Scien-
fists assert this remedy is 81 times more
potent than lithia.
For Diabetes and Bright's Disease this
good as DIR. Pierce's other wellknown
medicines which have been proven reli
able during nearly fifty years. such as
Doctor Pierces Favorite Prescription
for the ills of women, Doctor Perce's
Pleasant Pellets, the liver regulator, and
Doctor Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
for red blood.
