until l had five pennies. This
made fifteen cents.
Several days after that I picked
ten more dozen and earned another
dime This made quarter. enough
to buy one Thrift Stamp.
l also earned money by helping
mother. At the end of the week
she would give me quarter. l
now have four Thrift Stamps and
will get more soon.-Janet Russell.

and jumped into bed. and was
asleep in about three minutes.
The next morning she got up
early because it was Saturday. She
was going to the park. Her moth

twenty minutes. and lighted it..
And, oh, such q noise! The oven
door came open. q pan dew out,
and went over to the sink. After
l recovered from my fright. I was
very thankful.-Geraldine Harri-

LESS MEAT IF BACK
AND KIDNEYS HURT
Take . glass Of Salts to flush Kidnsys
if Bladder bothers you-Drink
lots of water.

Eating meat regularly eventually pro.
duces kidney trouble in some form or
other, says a well.known authority, be-
cause the uric a&d in meat excites the
kidneys, they become overworked; get
sluggish; clog up and cause all sorts Of
distress, particularly backache AID mis-
cry in the kidney region; rheumatic twin
ges, severe headaches, acid stomach, CON-
stipation, torpid liver, sleeplessness,
bladder and urinary irritation.
The moment your back hurts or kid.
neys aren't acting right, or if bladder
bothers you, get about four ounces of
Jad Salts from any good pharmacy;
take a tablespoonful in a glass of water
before 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
flush clpgged kidneys and stimulate them
to normal activity; also to n~eutralize the
acids in the urine so it no longer irri.
tates, thus ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone;
makes a delightful effervescent lithia-
water drink which millions of men and
women take now and then to keep the
kidneys and urinary organs clean, thus
avoiding serious kidney disease.

SAGE AND SULPHUR

It's GRANDMOTHER Recipe to
Restore Color, Gloss
and Attractiveness.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound.
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray. Years ago the only way to
get this mixture was TO make It at
home, which Ia mussy and trouble
some. Nowadays. by asking at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and suls
phur Compound" you will get a large
bottle Of this famous old recipe. i'm
proved by the addition Of other In
gradients. at a small cost.
Don't stay gray! Try 1t! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair. as 1t does 1t 81 naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with It and draw this
through your hair, taking n small
strand at a time: by morning the gray
hair disappears. and after another APP
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark. glossy and attractive.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound Is a delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire dark hair and a
youthful appearance. 1t is not in
