Bring Back its Color and Lustre
with Grandna's Sage
Tea Recipe.

Common garden sage brewed into
heavy tea, with sulphur and alcohol
added, will turn gray, streaked and
faded hair beautifully dark and lux

the ready-to-use preparation Improved
by the addition OF other ingkedNehts

lot Of muss.
oWhile gray, faded hair is not sinful,
we all desire to retain our youthful
appearance and attractiveness. BY
darkening your hair with Wyeths
Sage and Sulphur Compound, no one
can tell, because II does IL so natural
ly. so evenly. You just dampen a
sponge or soft brush with II and draw
this through your hair, taking one
small strand at a time; by morning
all gray hairs have disappeared. After
another application or two your hair
becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft
and luxuriant and you appear years
younger. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur

HOW LONG DOES A CROW
LIVE If UNMOLESTED
Missouri Farmers Would Like to
know-One is Said to Be 10
Years Old

Gentry, Mo.-"How long does the
average crow liver" is a question that
is now being considered by farmers
Of this vicinity.
The discussion of this question has
been brought about by statement OF
a well known farmer Willard Ericsson,
living west of town. who declares that
he has a crow on his farm that is Is
years old.
OF course there have always been
crows-so long as the oldest settlers
can remember. But the swarms OF
black feathered creatures which year
" infest the corn fields the same
ones that were here last year-or year
before last? Or are the crows like the
corn, new crop? AS rule they are
all as alike as two peas and the
farmers are not friendly enough tow
ard them to care aught about their
ages. Eighteen years ago this summer
Ericsson shot crow in the leg, wound
ing it badly. For some reason he did
not try to kill it, and he noticed it fire.
quently as it hoped about his prem.
ises while its wound was healing. The
crow recovered and could easily be
told from other crows, by peculiar
limp in its walk. AS it was not mo-
Tested it continued to stay about the
place and became quite tame.
Year after year it stayed, and the
old crow became as much of a farm
fixture as the old family horse. Some
times it would disappear for days and
weeks, but eventually it came back
to its old haunts.
Three years ago the crow flew away
and did not come back in a short
time as had been it's custom. AS time
passed it was given UP as gone for
good.
1t was quite surprise when a few
days ago, the old crow was seen limp
ing about as usual, apparently well
pleased to be back home. There is no
doubt but that it is the same crow that
was wounded eighteen years ago. How
old 1t was then-who can say?

Old Stump Yields Riches

Dover, Del.-Visions of untold rich
es have filled the minds of several
colored workmen on the farm of Gen.
A. r. Benson, who already have un-
earthed what is supposed to be a
cache of stolen goods. SO far there
have been found four watches, two Of
which are gold; three women's solo
gold rings, solid gold watch fob,
gold breastpins, $40 gold piece, two
$40 gold pieces, two SIS gold pieces and
one $3.50 gold piece. All were found
around large stump, which the work
men a few days ago set about to re-
move. All of the jewelry and money
were in good state of preservation,
except one of the watches, a nickel
one in which the works had rusted.
The latest find, the $40 gold piece,
has inspired the workmen 10 greater
diligence, and they are seeking more
of the treasure.

SALTS IF BACKACHY
AND KIDNEYS HURT
Drink lots of water and stop eating
meat for while if your Bladder
troubles you

When you wake up with backache and
dull misery in the kidney region il gem
erall y means you have been eating too
much meat says a well-known authority.
Meat forms uric acid which overworks
the kidneys in their effort to filter il
from the blood and they become sort of
paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys
get sluggish and clog you must relieve
them, like you relieve your bowels; re-
moving all the body's urinous waste.
else you have backache, sick headache.
dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue
is coated, and when the weather is bad
you have rheumatic twinges. The urine
is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often
get sore, water scalds and you are Obliged
to seek relief two or three times during
the night.
Either consult a good, reliable physi-
clan at once or get from your pharmacist
about four ounces of Jad Salts; take
a tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast for 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 and stimulate sluggish kidneys.
also TO neutralize acids in the urine so it
no longer irritates, thus ending bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts is life saver for regular
meat eaters. IL is inexpensive, cannot
injure and makes a delightful, effer.

SEVEN FOOT SAUSAGE"
PROVES TO BE A SNAKE
Just Common One, Say some-"Ps-

Police Officer

JUST q SoWfuou Sucs Ody Sone-Tvs
ruvian PretxeI' Species, Says
Police officer
New York-The good fortune which
Charles Beckstein believed had come
to him the other day failed when the
seven foot length of sausage he reach.
ed for in the cellar of his pork store
at No. 1913 Columbus avenue. turned
out to be rather lively snake.
When Beckstein saw what he sup
posed was a coil OF sausage that had
been overlooked by a clerk he chuck
led and called to his wife for twine
with which to tie the sausage into
links for the display counter.
Excited cries for aid emanating
from the cellar indicated to persons
passing in the street that Beckstein
had made a serious error. Among the
first to hurry downstairs were po-
licemen Meagher and Ames.
They found the snake running q
close second in the twelfth lap of a
race about the cellar. When the con.
sSoe'hSo PhooVu ehC iCfiCWiuS Slduu
on the stairs in the thirteenth lap the
policemen smothered the snake with
blanket and soon had him at the
West Tooth street station.
Examination proved it was just a
common snake or. rather an uncom.
mon snake, for no two persons could
agree on its variety, tho Lieutenant
Joyce insisted it was Peruvian pref
eel snake, which is fond of sausages
and other things associated with pref
zels.
Inquiry developed the fact that a
few days ago snake seven feet in
length escaped from a long haired
man who was demonstrating the ef.
ficacy of corn oil" in a drug store
window a few doors from the Beck
stein shop. A quiet search failed to
find the snake, and the corn oil man
moved to other fields, leaving several
hundreds of tenants in that row of
tenements ignorant of the truth that
a large snake was at large.
Instead of doing harm, however,
that snake busted himself in dimin-
ishing the visible supply of rats and
mice. Tenants had noted a falling off
in the supply of rodents and could not
account for it until the snake was
found.

Clear, Peachy Skin
Awaits Anyone Who
Drinks Hot Water
Says an inside bath, before break
fast helps us look and feel
clean, sweet, fresh.

Sparkling and ivacious-merry,
bright, alert-a good, clear skin and
natural, rosy, healthy complexion
are assured only by pure blood. If
only every man and woman could be
induced to adopt the morning inside
bath, what a gratifying change would
take place. Instead of the thousands of
sickly, manufacturing men, women
and girls, witt pasty or muddy
compilations; inSteai of the multi
tudes of nerve wrecks" "rundowns,"
brain flags" and pessimists we
should see a virile, optimistic throng
OF rosy-cheeked people everywhere.
An inside bath is had by drinking
each morning, before breakfast, a
glass Of real hot water with a tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in it
to wash from the stomach, liver, kid
neys and ten yards of bowels the pre-
vious days indigestible waste, sour
lamentations and poisons, thus
cleansing, sweetenine and freshening
the entire alimentary canal before
putting more food into the stomach.
Those subject to sick headache, bill
iousness, nasty breath, rheumatism,
colds; and particularly those who have
a pallid, sallow complexion and who
are constipated very often, are urged
to obtain quarter pound of limestone
phosphate at the drug store which
will cost but trife, but is sufficient
to demonstrate the quick and remark
able change in both health and appear
ance, awaiting those who practice in
ternal sanitation We must remem-
Der that inside cleanliness is more i'm
portant than outside, because the skin
does not absorb impurities to con-
taminate the blood while the pores in
the thirty feet of bowels do.

DOG GUARDS BODY OF CHILD
FROM doRsEs AND BRINGS AID
Little Ones Life Saved by Surgeons
Clever Work on His Skull.

Wheatland, Wyo.- g. f. Harold's
son, Alvin, 2 years old, was kicked in
the head by horse the other day.
His skull was fractured and other
severe wounds, seemingly sufficient to
cause death, were sustained.
The fathers attention was called to
the child by the frantic barking of the
farm dog, and upon investigating he
found that the dog was guarding the
insensible form of the boy from
bunch of horses in the pasture.
The child's forehead was crushed,
the nose broken and the eye laid open.
AS he was still alive he was sent to a
hospital. The surgeon performed an
operation, lifting the broken bones in
to position, and sewing the torn skin
around the eye back into place, and
the little boy showed all signs Of get
ting along nicely.

DRINK HOT TEA .
FOR A BAD COLD

Get small package of Hamburg
Breast Tea, or as the German folks
call it, Hamburger Brust Thee" at any
pharmacy. Take tablespoonful of the
tea, put cup of boiling water upon
it, pour through a sieve and drink a
teacup full at any time during the
day or before retiring. 1t is the most
effective way to break cold and cure
grip, as it opens the pores of the skin,
relieving congestion. Also loosens the
bowels, thus driving a cold from the
system.
Try it the next time you suffer from
a cold or the grip. 1t is inexpensive
and entirely vegetable, therefore safe
and harmless.
