HAVE DARK HAIR
and LOOK YOUNG
Don't Stay Gray! Nobody Can Tell
When You Darker Gray Faded Hair
With Sage Tea and Sulphur.

Grandmother kept her hair beauti-
fully darkened, glossy and attractive
with brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur
Whenever her hair took on that dull,
faded or streaked appearance. this
simple mixture was applied with
wonderful effect. By asking at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" you will get a
large bottle of this old-time recipe,
improved by the addition of other in
gradients, all ready to use, for about
so cents. This simple mixture can be
depended upon to restore natural col
or and beauty to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound now becaue it
darkens so naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell it has been applied
it's so easy to use, too. You simply
dampen comb or soft brush and
draw it through your hair, taking one
strand at time. By morning the
gray hair disappears; after another
application or two, it is restored to its
natural color and look glossy, soft and
beautiful. This preparation is de-
lightful toilet requisite. 1t is not in
tended for the cure, mitigation or pre-
vention of disease. adbt.

MRS. WEST SAYS TRAIN
CHILD TO ERECT CARRIAGE

WASHINGTON, D. C. April 49,
Mrs. Max West, expert directress of
tie Federal Children's Bureau. says it
is of great importance to the child to
train him to a good carriage Of body.
The power to hold the body erect is
wholly lacking at birth and is acquir-
ec with some difficulty, at about two
years of age.
While the body is developing in ev-
ery part the mother should take fire.
ouent note Of the manner in which the
child stands, how he sits and how he
carries his head. An erect spine is
necessary not only for beauty and
grace but for health. Slouching,
STOPPING or crooked shoulders detracr
much from the appearance and the
curved spin allows the upper part of
the body to press into the trunk and
deprives the stomach, heart and other
organs of some of their proper space
so that they must work at disadvant-
age.
In order that a child may learn the
habit of an upright carriage, much ex-
ercise is necessary, especially out
doors. This will strengthen the mus
Giles of the back and neck and make il
easier to hold the body erect later
when growth is rapid.
Sitting on the floor, bent over play
things and toys, sitting too long in a
high chair or baby carriage, dangling
the feet, carrying books or papers or
one hip or anoulder are some thing:
which tend to twist the spins and dts
tort the body.
The mother should watch carefully
to see that such troubles are arrest
ed at this period, while the bones arr
soft. If difficulties are encountered i
must be remembered that they vii
sometimes disappear of themselves
the general health is improved.

GLASS OF SALTS
CLEANS KIDNEYS
II Your Back is Aching or Bladder
BOthers, Drink Lots of Water
And Eat Less Meat.

When your kidneys hurt and your
back feels sore, don't get scared and
proceed to load your stomach with. a
lot of drugs that excite the kidneys
and irritate the entire urinary tract.
Keep your kidneys clean like you keep
your bowels clean, by flushing them
with mild, harmless salts which re-
moves the body's urinous waste and
stimulates them to their normal activ-
ity. The function of the kidneys is to
filter the blood. In "a hours they
strain from it 500 grains of acid and
waste, so we can readily understand
the vital Importance of keeping the
kidneys active.
Drink lots of water-you can't
drink too much; also get from any
pharmacist about four ounces of Jad
Salts; take a tablespoonful in glass
of water before breakfast each morn
ing for few days and your kidneys
will 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 cleal
and stimulate clogged kidneys; also
to neutralize the acids in urine so 1t
no longer is source of irritation,
thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure; makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-water drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep
their kidneys clean and active. Try,
this, also keepNlp the water drinking,
and no doubt you will wonder what
became of your kidney trouble and
ackache. advt.

one who has achieved that which she de-
sired.
Perhaps when money is the object this
may be true, but do you not think that
there is one type of woman who, holding
before her an ideal, strives always up
ward to reach this, and who drops the
friends of her early days because she has
grown so far beyond them that there is
no longer anything in common between
them?
II know a woman who has done this,
and because of 1t is put down as a snob'
by those who do not know her sufficiently
well to understand. She would never in
tentionally hurt any ones feelings and
would not stoop to such pettiness as cut
ting these former acquaintances.
But her life has broadened out. She
conf1ded to me one day that she had tried
to go back and meet these girls on COM
mon ground, but only succeeded in MAX
ing them uncomfortable and herself un-
happy, so had given them up entirely.
We just didn't have anything to talk
about she told me afterward. Their
interests seemed so-well, hopeless, to me,
and I hated myself for feeling this way
1 think you could, If you would feature
this type in an interesting way some
day."

THERE were but few people in the local

women who had seats, but most of the fem

l. dice against tho purchase of "three-in-
one" and "five-in-one" tools that used to be
so popular decade or so ago Housewives
are realizing that the single tool which
combines in its few joints and screws and
notches the purposes of crater and can
opener and orange peeler and several other
things besides can't possibly be an ideal
tool for any one of these uses.
On the other hand, many perfectly good
tools are sold in sets or combinations, and
these must not be confused with the in
effectual combination tools. There are
nests" and sets" and groups of tools that
come as one which can be recommended as
of good use.
But it is entirely possible for even the
casual buyer to distinguish quickly between
what a practical good set and what Is
likely to be n clap-trap toy. Every me-
chanic knows that you can't expect a single
tool to be built so that parts Of it will per-
form entirely different functions.
EXAMINE THEM WELL
A combination tool that is saw. plane,
monkey wrench and hammer, all I'm one
piece is unheard of. 1t couldn't work well.
Similarly with household utensils. You can
safely, assume that a single tool for which
a variety OF totally different uses Is claimed
will not be ideal for any one of those uses
Such tools often in their effort to be good
for everything are finally good for nothing
If, however, a set Of tools or utensils is
offered and the entire set Is for a similar
use, then the difference is only of size or
Of capacity, and not in mechanical construc-
tion. Here are a few tools that illustrate

HOUSEHOLD H ELPS
Ho,u to Select Good Combination Tools and Utensils

this principle, but It applies in a great many
other instances.
An inexpensive little set that helps great
deal in cookery is the set OF measuring
spoons. This set consists Of five absolutely
accurate measuring spoons-one-fourth tea
spoon. one-haf teaspoon, one teaspoon, one
dessert spoon and one tablespoon They are
all held together by single link and are
very convenient when one is measuring
number of dry ingredients. The entire set
can easily be held in the hand and the
spoons changed quickly from teaspoon to
tablespoon as the measuring requires.
OTHER GOOD SETS
Another good "set" that should be on
every preparing table is the nest" Of yell
low bowls There are five bowls to the set,
varying in size from the one just small
very large ones suitable for cake making
These large bowls have the lip at the side
to make pouring into baking tins easy.
If yours is a very small family and you
have the daily problem of cooking only a
small quantity of variety of foods, the
nest" of pots will help save fuel These
come in aluminium and in the enameled
ware There are three to set, and they are
somewhat triangular in shape, but made
so that the three fit together snugly into a
shane like one large pot. The three are
put together in these shapes In the oven
when in use, and look as though only one
utensil were on the one burner. In other
words with the nest" you can cook three
different dishes in three different utensils
over one burner, giving all three uniform
heat.
