London-A proposal by Irish Ma

and that all movements tend to show
preparations for an offensive ahead OF

Navy adyices, similar in many re-
spects to press messages out of Berne,
may be German-inspired with a view
to disturbing American-allied morale.
But whether they are only German

thorites to take seriously and to pre-
pare against such a drive. America
has many craft abroad including bat.

Many navy men have favored an ag-
gressiye Amercan-allied policy on the
seas, but in the last two or three days
they have turned to the view mat the
sea war may be brought home to the
British.American fleets in raiding ac-

If you must have your meat every day,

occasionally, says q noted authority who

almost parafyzes the kidneys in their eff

suffer with q duh misery in the kidney
region, sharp pains in the back or sick
headache, dizziness, your stomach sours,

Is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The
urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the
channels often get. sore and ~irritated,
ebliging you to seek relief two or three

To neutralhe these irritating acids, to
cleanse the kidneys and flush off the

Jad Salts from any pharmacy here;
take a tablespoonful in q glass of
water before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine. This

SAGE TEA DARENS
HAIR TO ANY SHADE
Don't Stay Gray! Here's an
Old-time Recipe that Any
body can Apply.

The use Of Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded, gray hair to its natural
color dates back to grandmother's
time. She used 1t to keep her hair
beautifully dark, glossy and attrac-
tive. Whenever her hair took on that
dull, faded or streaked appearance.
this simple mixture was applied with
wonderful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for a bottle of "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" you
will get this famous old preparation.
improved by the addition OF other in
gradients, which can be depended up
on to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair.
A ~well-known downtown druggist
says II darkens the hair SO naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell 1t has
been applied. You simply dampen a
sponge or soft brush with It and draw
this through you hair. taking M
strand at a time. BY morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two, It becomes
beautifully dark and glossy.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is a delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire a more youthful
appearance. II is not intended for
the cure, mitigation or prevention Of
disease.
