WITH SAGE TEA
Il Mixed with Sulphur 1
Darkens so Naturally
Nobody can Tell.

The old-time mixture Of Sage Tea
and Sulphur for darkening gray,
streaked and faded hair is grand
mothers recipe, and folks are again
using it to keep their hair q good,
even color, which is quite sensible, as
we are living in an age when a youth
full appearance is of the greatest au-
vantage.
r Nowadays, though, we don't have
the troublesome task of gathering the
sage and the mussy mixing at home.
All drug stores sell the ready-to-use
product, improved by the addition Of
other ingredients, called "Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound" 1t is very
popular because nobody Can discover
it has been applied. Simply moisten
your comb or a soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at q time; by morning
the gray hair disappears, but what de-
lights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound, is that, be-
sides beautifully darkening the hair
after a few applications, it also pro-
duces that soft lustre and appearance
Of abundance which Is so attractive.
This ready-to-use preparation Is de-
Hghtful toilet requisite for those who
desire a more youthful appearance. It
is not intended for the cure, mitiga-
ton or prevention OF disease.

GLASS Of SALTS
CLEANS KIDNEYS
IF 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 lot of drugs
that excite tie 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 removes the body's urinous
waste and stimulates them to their nor
NAL activity. The function of the kid
neys is to filter the blood. In 81 hours
they strain from it 500 grains of acid
and waste, so we can readily understand
the vital Importance OF keeping the kid
neys 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 morning 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 genera
tions to clean and stimulate clogged kid
neys; also to neutralize the acids in
urine so it no longer is a source of irri-
tation, 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 kid
neys clean and active. Try this, also
keep up the water drinking, and no
doubt you will wonder what became of
your kidney trouble and backache.

was only $4.20, the August price
$4.19, etc.
The price increase, however, works
both ways. Just as the war savings
stamps casts the purchaser 1 cent
more each. additional month in the
year, so can he redeem it for 1 cent
more. For instance, war savings
stamps purchased during October
for $4.21 each can be redeemed dur
ing November for $4.22 each. Of
course, Uncle Sam doesn't like to
have war savings stamps redeemed
before they mature, but he does not
object to redeeming them for per-
sons who are in sore need of the
cash, and in such cases will redeem
them any time before maturity with
8 per cent. interest added to the
purchase price. If held until matur-
ity of the stamps will redeeemd for
SIS each, which represents interest
at the rate of per cent. per annum
compounded quarterly.

sideration of the facts mentioned

therein.
Will you cooperate in this very
important matter by having the Gov
ernor's proclamation printed in all
of the newspapers of your county,
giving it all the publicity possible,
so that the message may reach and
receive the attention Of every citl-
zen of our State.
The annual loss to the people OF
our nation by fire is approximately
$3.50, 100000, or nearly equivalent
to the interest on $6,000,000,0OO Of
Liberty Bonds. A large proportion
of this loss may be prevented by:
1. A thorough cleaning up Of all
premises, removal of trash and rub
bish from lawns and barn yards, such
as leaves, dry grass, paper and
scraps of every description, then,
keeping clean.
2. By a careful examination of
every chimney and flue. If any are
defective put them in good order
before the cold weather sets in. See
that there is proper protection under
all heaters and stoves.
8. Remove all rags and scraps
from closets, either selling them to
the junk dealer, or placing them in
a metal can in some location where
they may not start fire in case of
spontaneous ignition.
4. Remove all oils, gasoline, ker-
osene, and grease, to some location
that will be least dangerous to other
property.
5. For storing waste that has
been used to clean the automobile
and other machinery, use a metal
can or box in the yard, away from
any building.
6. Keep matches in a metal box
where they can be safe from the
children and the rats. Use safety
matches exclusively, if possible.
7. Before retiring every night,
think I done everything that
is necessary to safeguard the lives
of my family and the loss of my
property from careless fire? If
you are not sure, inspect immediate
ly.
8. Watch with careful eye ev-
cry article of foodstuff, lumber,
cotton, and everything essential in
the way of war material by careful
ly keeping the fires down.
If this department can be of as
sistance to you in any particular,
command US.

PROCLAMATION.
State of South Carolina,
Exeeufive DEPARTMENT


Executive Department
At no time in the history Of our
country has the menace Of fire been
greater and the preservation OF our
resources more necessary. ActlVl-
ties of hostile incendiaries threaten
in many parts of the country, caus-
ing destruction of needed supplies
of foodstugs and other vital staples.
These fires will strike at the foun-
dation of national power and wealth
by the elimination of resources.
Fire causes enormous direct de-
struction of cotton, lumber, grain
and other foodstuffs, as well as a
large variety of other materials es-
sential to the prosecution Of the
war. Fire cripples productive in
dustry engaged upon war orders to
a far greater extent than is gener-
ally realized.
While causing a vast impairment
in Americas fighting efficiency, fire
loss is, in the main, unnecessary.
The loss can be materially lessened
if each citizen will do his part to-
wards seeing that precautionary
measures are adopted for his premis-
es. The burning of your property
through negligence or carelessness
may not only cause loss and incon-
venience, but the fire may spread to
your neighbor's property also. Fire
prevention, therefore, becomes pa
triotic duty of every citizen. The
cooperation of newspapers, civic
bodies, and particularly school sys-
TENS, will contribute powerfully to
this end. The annual loss by fire to
the state of South Carolina is ap-
proximately One Million, Two Hun
dred and Fifty Thousand Dollars.
In view of the Importance of the
matter, and as a means of arousing
our citizens to the magnitude of the
fire waste and induce them to take
more interest in the subject of fire
prevention, I, Richard I. Manning,
Governor of the State, by virtue of
authority in me vested, do hereby
designate and proclaim Saturday,
November 2, 1918, as Fire Proven
tion Day, and urge that on this day
all citizens inspect their property
and give personal attention to the
removal therefrom of all rubbish
and debris; that chimneys, flues and
heating apparatus be put in order;
that the mayor of each town and
city by proclamation ask the cooper
alton of it's citizens in having a thor
ough inspection of all premises in
their respective municipalities, to
the end that the number of fires
may be lessened and the losses there
from checked.

In testimony whereof I have here
unto set my hand and caused
the great seal of the State of

to say Good evening" to her, tor
an hour and half, or even longer
And that when he finally arrived
on the scene, she was so perturbed
and anxious, so fearful that he
would not come at all to say that
momentous Good evening"" that
sheer terror kept her almost dumb.
Blamed if can understand
girls" he probably SAID, and then
rammed his hat down over his ears
and went off with his rage.
And she went home and took off
the pretty gown and spring hat that
had failed so utterly to do all the
things she had planned, and went
till her eyes were swollen and her
nose red.
A very charming girl of my ac-
quaintance once saw man with
whom she was in love buying fow-
ers.
He had never sent her flowers, or
paid her any attention at all, and
forthwith my young friend decided
that her heart was broken and that
she would do something utterly
tragic. She decided to go to Homo
lulu and nurse iepers - that being
the most sacrificial thing of which
she was capable.
She went home and packed a suit
case, deciding to visit a married sis
ter in an adjacent city, till her plans
were made. She felt that any fate
was preferable to again seeing the
man to whom she had given her love
in vain.
I.epers Would BE Unpleasant
At her sisters house, new aspects
of her case arose. She was the only
daughter at home: if she did any
thing as drastic as nursing lepers
it would make endless talk. Besides,
the more she thought of it. the more
unpleasant lepers seemed. So she
decided to immediate herself in an
other way She would give up party
frocks, pretty slippers, do her hair
unbecomingly JOIN a college settle
ment and be an angel to the unfortu-
nate.
She returned home and on the hall
table the first thing that met her
eyes was the oox. full of withered
roses, but bearing the mans card
and an invitation to go to a dance
with him.
Later, he confessed that he
thought of doing some pretty des-
perate things when he got no an
swer to his invitation and no
acknowledgment ent of his flowers
They are both comfortable middle

How far off the divine madness must
seem to them both.
Despite the fact that Shakes
/ peare said: Men have died from
time to time, and worms have eaten
! them-but not for love-" quite a
goodly number have taken their lives
owing to unrequited affection. And
girls without number have "ended
it all' owing to some foolish lovers
quarrel. when Il little talking it out
would have solved everything.
Talk it out TO some trustworthy
friend, but be sure of the friend
before you give your confidence. And
don't quarrel irrevocably unless some
big issue is involved; don't let imagi-
nary looks and fancied cool greet
ings cause a separation. If you are
in love YOU are looking at life

powering current and swept along
like seaweed in the wash of the
tide.
This beautiful and rapturous state
of mind, in which lovers live, throws
the work -a-day world out of joint,
for the time being, and is the cause
of the constant quarrels and mis-
understandings. The victims of the
divine madness never quite see
things at their face value, every
thing, especially the beloved, looms
through a magnifying or a dimin-
ishing glass.
Nothing is as it seems - MOLE
hills are mountains, an admiring
glance appears to be a frown of
disapproval. A calm reply to a
question may indicate indifference
or hatred-nothing is too eXagger-

Cupid.
The world looks on amused; the
tragedies Of lovers are comedies
for the onlookers who have forgot
ten all about the time they were
victims of the divine madness.
More than half the letters that
come to me on the subject of lovers
quarrels contain nothing more
than: Il said Good evening to her,
and she answered, IN a cool, far
