F KIDNEYS AND
 BLADDER BOTHER
Take glass of Salts to flush out your Kidneys and neutralize irri-
 tating acids.

Kidney and Bladder weakness result from uric acid, says a noted authority. The kidneys filter this acid from the blood and pass it on to the bladder, where it often remains to irritate and infame, causing burning, scalding sensation, or setting up ali irritation at the neck of the bladder, obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night. The sufferer is in constant dread, the water passes sometimes with scalding sensation and is very profuse; again, there is difficulty in avoiding it.
 Bladder weakness, most folks call it, because they can't control urination. While it is extremely annoying and some times very painful, this is really one of the most simple ailments to overcome. Get about four ounces of lad Salts from your pharmacist and take table spoonful in glass of water before breakfast, continue this for two or three days. This will neutralize the acids in the urine so t no longer is source of irritation to the bladder and urinary or gans which then act normally again.
 lad Salts is inexpensive, harmless, and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and is used by thousands of folks who are subject to urinary disorders caused by uric acid irritation. lad Salts is splen- did for kidneys and causes no bad effects whatever.
 Here you have pleasant, effervescent Whitewater drink, which. quickly relieves bladder trouble.

AN OLD RECIPE
 ID DARKEN HAIR Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns % Gray, Faded Hair Dark
 and Glossy.

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 1t at home, which is mussy and troublesome.
 Nowadays we simply ask at any drug store for ''Wyeth's Sage and Sul- phur Compound" You will get large bottle of this old-time recipe improved by the addition of other ingredients, at very little cost. Everybody uses this preparation now, because no one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair. as it does 1t so naturally and evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft sbrush with 1t and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at time; by morning the gray hair disappears. and after another ap- plication or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark. thick and glossy and you look years younger. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound is delightful toilet requisite. It is not intended for the cure, mitigation or prevention of disease.

DESTINY OF AMERICA.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge, poet and
essayist, writing some IS years ago
said:
"The possible destiny Of the United
States of America as nation OF a
hundred million of free men, stretch
ing from the Atlantic to the Pacific,
living under the laws of Alfred ana
speaking the language of Shakes
peare and Milton, is an august con-
ception."
The United States is now a nation
of a hundred million and mora
stretching from the Atlantic to the
Pacific, and reaching out east takes N
Hawaii and the Philippines, in tbs
north Alaska, and in the south the
Panama Caral. But grander thar
its physical is its moral greatness
Its fairness and justice, its courage
and power, it's maintenance of RICH;
and freedom cover the world.

VIOLATIONS OF TRAFFIC LAWS.

Alexandria is at present alive with
automobiles, auto racks, motorcycles
and bicycles, and a large percentage
Of those in charge of such vehicles
pay but little respect to the traffic
laws. Speeding is the most general
offcnse, as it is common to see auto
mobiles dashing through the streets
at a speed dangerous to the drivers
as we'll as to pedestrians. Not one but
a hundred of such violators of law
are unprecedented, as they pass SO rap
idly that it is often impossible to
catch their numbers.
People who patronize the electric
trains are daily exposed to peril by
thoughtless and careless persons in
charge of motor driven vehicles, as it
is common sight to see automobiles
shoot through punches of people gath
cred at street intersections for the
purpose Of boarding trains.
The law is plain: such vehicles
should stop when train is taking on
or discharging passengers, OF is about
to stop. This section of he law, how
ever, is often violated with impun-
ity, and automobiles, auto trucks and
motorcycles rush past trains to the
peril of persons who may be off the
curbstones at the time
The crews Of electric trains are
kept nervous, as they fear serious ac-
cidcnts will occur sooner or later from
such recklessness.
1t is suggested that the men en-
ployed on the trains procure the
numbers Of cars which imperil pas
sengers and turn them over to the po-
lice. The latter will endeavor to
identify the chauffeurs, and if ar
raigned in the Police Court examples
will be made of them. The fine is
ten dollars.

SPANISH FLU" SPREADING.

While thousands of people are
being slaughtered on the battle fields
of the OH world the pale horse Of
death is visiting the capitals of Eu-
rope and carrying off many non
combatants.
Acknowledgements flu" as it is
called--is spreading throughout Eu-
rope.
In London alone there have been
more than 600 deaths from the disease
in less than two months. One week
in July the deaths in London reached
2S7. Qninine QaeEcs are common
sights.
The Fourth and Sixth German arm
les were out of the fighting for weeks
with the disease and great "flu
camps" have been established in Bel
GUM and France, where the Germans
were sent to receive treatment and
to prevent the disease from spread
ing through the Hun armies.
Many deaths occurred in these two
German armies and other German
units. Few cases have been reportei
so far among the Allied armies in
France. but the civilian population of
France is suffering greatly, as are
the people of Spain and Portugal.
IN Britain the disease is not con-
flied 10 London. The country dis
tl'icts and other cities suffer greatly.
In Leeds, Manchester, Herts, Egham,
Sheffield and Birmingham certain
schools ami factories have been
closed.
Perhaps the greatest toll, if reports
are to be believed, is being taken by
the epidemic in Austria, also victims
OF cholera and diseases arising from
malnutrition. The number of cases
in Austria is reported to be reckoned
in thousands.
Spanish flu" in its symptoms IS
much like that what the Americans
call grippe. But it is more severe and
often fatal.
II Russia both Spanish "fu" and
cholera have claimed hundreds Of vic.
tins and are both spreading. -.
