LADIES! LOOK YOUNG,
OARKEN GRAY HAIR
Use the Old-time Sage Tea and
Sulphur and Nobody
will Know.

Gray hair, however handsome, denotes
advancing age. We all know the advan-
tages of a youthful appearance. Your
hair is your charm. It makes or mars
the face. When it fades, turns gray and
looks streaked, just few applications
of Sage Tea and Sulphur enhances its ap-
pearance hundred-fold.
Don't stay gray! Look young! Either
prepare the recipe at home or get from
any drug store 50-cent bottle Of
@'Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound"
which is merely the old-time recipe i'm
proved by the addition of other ingredi-
ents Thousands of folks recommend this
ready-to-use preparation, because it
darkens the hair beautifully, besides no
one can possibly TELL as it darkens so
naturally and evenly. You moisten a
sponge or soft brush with it, drawing this
through the hair, taking one small strand
at time. By morning the gray hair
disappears; after another application or
two, its natural color is restored and it
becomes thick, glossy and lustrous, and
you appear years younger.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
is delightful toilet requisite. It is not
intended for the cure, mitigation or pre-
vention of disease.

HEAVY MEAT EATERS
HAVE SLOW KIDNEYS
Eat less meat if you feel Backachy or
have bladder troub1e-Take
glass of Salts

No man or woman who eats meat regu-.
larly can make a mistake by flushing the
kidneys occasionally, says a we1l-known
authority. Meat forms uric acid which
excites the kidneys, they become over
worked from the strain, get sluggish and
fail to filter the waste and poisons from
the blood, then we get sick. Nearly all
rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble,
nervousness, dizziness, sleeplessness and
urinary disorders come from sluggish
kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache in the
Kidneys or your back hurts or if the
urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sedi-
ment. irregular of passage OF attended by
sensation of ecalding, stop eating meat
and get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any pharmacy; take q
tablespoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast and in few days 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 flush and stimulate
. the kidneys, also to ne11tralize the acids
in urine so it no longer causes irritation,
thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
inju-e; makes delightful effervescent

should take now and then to keep the
kidneys clean and active and the blood
pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney
complications.

Start Tomorrow
and Keep It Up
Every Morning e
Get In the habit of drinking a
glass of hct water before
breakfast.

We're not here long, so let's make
our stay agreeable. Let us live we'll,
eat we'll, digest we'll, work we'll, sleep
we'll, and look we'll. what a glorious
condition to attain, and yet, how very
easy it is if one will only adopt the
morning inside bath.
Folks who are accustomed to feel
dull and heavy when they arise, split
ting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul
tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach,
can, instead, feel as fresh as a daisy
by opening the sluices of the system
each morning and flushing out the
whole of the internal poisonous stag
nant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
we'll, should, each morning, before
breakfast, drink a glass of real hot
water with teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it to wash from the
stomach, liver and bowels the previous
days 1ndigestible waste, sour bile
and poisonous toxins; thus cleansing,
sweetening and purifying the entire
alimentary canal before putting more
food into the stomach. The action of
hot water and limestone phosphate on
an empty stomach is wonderfully in
MIGRATING. It cleans out all the sour
lamentations, gases, waste and
acidity and gives one splendid
appetite for breakfast. While you are
enjoying your breakfast the water
and phosphate is quietly extracting
a large volume of water from the
blood and getting ready for a
thorough flushing of all the inside
organs.
The millions of people who are
bothered with constipation, bilious
spells, stomach trouble; others who
have sallow skins, blood disorders and
sickly compilations are urged to get a
| quarter pound of limestone phosphate
from the drug store This will cost
very little, but is sufficient to make
anyone pronounced crank on the
subject of inside bathing before break.

'That's very nice Of you," she said.

know exactly what to say; he had ex-
pected to be greeted cordially, but in
stead he had been received indiffer-

"Surely Helen told you that I was
to meet you here,'' he said.

answered.

 Old Hilary lived well, as he might His foreign servants were artists. He liked good food, good wines, good books. He even had few pictures from the leading galleries of Europe. He hung them in the house at Woffing- ham, with a cynical smile.

 And so in this atmosphere with which he surrounded himself, of fine living and wrong thinking, of atheism raised almost to religion of no law and no Christ, old Hilary had brought up his daughter. He had been proud of her in his way; absolutely selfish, too. She had had no other compan- ion. He taught her his unbelief, point ing out the churchgoers, as they drove together on Sunday mornings, as slaves to myth. Also, he taught her to hate a lie, and to give aims. Early in her life their drives together had been punctured with questions.
 "But If my mother Is dead, where Is she?" asked Elinor on one of them.
 Old Hilary had eyed her from under eyebrows that were already gray.
 'She lives in the memories of those that knew and loved her."
 'But never knew her. Then for me she doesn't live! But Mademoiselle-" she checked herself. Suspicion had been dawning in old Hilary's eyes.
 "Death is the end," he said tersely, and quoted Darwin and Haeckel to her. But at the end of the drive he interviewed Mademoiselle, and sent her flying to her chamber, where from under the carpet beneath her bureau, she got her rosary and wept over 1t.

Old Hilary had seen to that; she knew Malato, Haeckel, Bakunin; spoke French and Spanish-Hilary had spent much time in Central America helping the insurgents; it was he who financed the insurrection in northern Mexico-and wrote fluently the form of shorthand that her father had de- vised as means of communication be- tween the leader of the band.
