TO DARkEN HAIR
APPLY SAGE TEA
Look Young. Bring Back Its Natu-
raj Color. Gloss and At
tractiveness.

Common garden sage brewed into a
heavy tea with sulphur added, will
turn gray, streaked and faded hair
beautifully dark and luxuriant Just
4 few applications will prove revela-
lion if your hair is fading, streaked
or gray. Mixing the Sage Tea and
Sulphur recipe at home, though, is
Troublesome. An easier way is to get
a 50-cent bottle of Wyeth's Sage
md Sulphur Compound at any drug
tore all ready for use. This is the
Id time recipe improved by the ad-
!ition of other ingredients.
While wispy, gray, faded hair is not
inful, we all desire to retain our
outhful appearance and attractive
ess. BY darkening your hair with
Nyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
one can tell, because it does it so
aturally, so evenly. You just damp
q sponge or soft brush with it and
raw this through your hair, taking
me small strand at time; by morn
NO all gray hairs have disappeared,
and, after another application or two,
our hair becomes beautifully dark,
;lossy, soft and luXuriant.
This preparation is a delightful toi-
'et requisite and is not intended for
he cure, mitigation or prevention Of
disease.

If Backachy or
Kidneys Bother
Eat Less Meat; Also Take Glass of
Salts Before Eating
Breakfast.

Uric acid in meat excites the kid
Ineys, they become overworked; get
sluggish, ache, and feel liks 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
kidneys clog you must help them flush
off the body's urinous waste or you'll
be a real sick person shortly. At
first you fell dull misery in the
kidney region, you suffer from back
ache, sick headache, dizziness, stom-
ach gets sour, tongue seated and you
fell rheumatic twinges when the
weather is bad.
Eat less meat, drink lots of wa
ter; also get from any pharmacist
four ounces of Jad Salts; take ta-
in a glass of water be-
fore breakfast for a few days and
your kidneys 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 kidney
and stimulate them to normal activ-
ty, also to neutralize the acids in
urine, so it no longer is a source
# irritation, thus ending bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot in.
ure; makes delightful effervesceat
ithia-water drink which everyone
hould take now and then to keep the
,idneys clean and active. Druggists

,idney trouble while it is only trou-
