MEAT CAUSE OF
 KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take a glass of Salts if your Back hurts or Bladder bothers-M Meat forms
 uric acid.

If you must have your meat every day. eat 1t, but flush your kidneys with salts occasionally, says a noted authority who tells us that meat forms uric acid which almost para ly%es the kidneys in their efforts to expel 1t from the blood. They be- come sluggish and weaken, then YOU suffer with a dull misery in the kid ney region, sharp pains in the back or sick headache, dizziness, your stomach sours, tongue Is coated and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the channels often get sore and irritated, obliging you to seek relief two or three times duging the night.
 To neutralize these irritating acids, to cleanse the kidneys and flush of the bodys urinous waste get four ounces of lad Salts from any phar- macy here; 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 and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize the acids in urine, so 1t no longer irritates, thus ending blad- der weakness.
 JGd Salts Is inexpensive: cannot in- juTe, and makes a delightful efferves- cent whitewater drink.-Adv.

You can turn gray. faded hair beau tifully dark and lustrous almost over night if you'll get a bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound" at any drug store. Millions of bottles of this old famous Sage Tea Recipe, improved by the addi- tion of other ingredients. are sold an- nually, says a well-known druggist here, because it darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that no one can tell 1t has been applied.
 Those whose hair is turning gray or becoming faded with a surprise awaiting them, because after one or two applications the gray hair van ishes and your locks become luxuri- antly dark and beautiful.
 This is the age of youth. Cray haired unattractive folks aren't wanted around. so get busy with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound tonight and you'll be delighted with your dark, handsome hair and your youthful appearance within a few days.
 This preparation Is a oiIet re- quisite and is not intended for the cure, mitigation or prevention of dis ease.-Adv,

KrTCHENBTTE COOKERY

One of the difficulties of using canned goods in cooking for one or two is that only part of 8 can can be eaten at time, and we do not always know just what to do with the rest, observes Anna Merritt East, in her book, "Kitchenette Cookery" Because found this trying, began to play tricks On my canned goods and reduced some of my old-time standard recipes to fit my smaller pans. In this way, I learned a va riety of ways for using each can, so that there is neither waste nor d needless repetition of dishes. With the necessarily small refrigerator of a kitchenette, it is likewise impossi- ble to keep g. lot of leftovers, so by using three recipes, avoid them.
 In opening a can of any vegetable and sometimes Of fruit, that is not to be served again for a week or so I pour 1t out at once-always at once -one-half to be used and the other half put into a saucepan to be heated up to the boiling point and poured into sterilized half-pint Jar. After sealing and cooling, these can be set 1nIO u TeLIISeTdlOE. IL laReS put a few minutes to do this, but it saves monotonous repetition of the same food.
 Canned goods used most frequently in this way are corn, peas, tomatoes, asparagus, string beans, lima beans. baked beans, beets and salmon. All but the beets are used for cream soups. I have one basic recipe which | zI.I- making a cream soup to serve two oi three nerSOnS.

the possessor should take advantage of these unusual lines in the dinner costume-artistic lines that are de- nied the small or the too plump fig ure.
 The dinner gown here shown Is. adapted only for the long. willowy fig-l ure-erect of carriage and graceful inl attitude. It requires personal poiss to carry off these lines, for tnetF sweeping draperies are intended as fine background to contrast with an erect and graceful pose.
 Observe that although there Is 3 daring, upward dash to the belt this is adroitly balanced by the lines of the shoulder and neck so that the entire bodice is we'll blended, the lines melt ing into each other, so to speak, with out any sharp clash.
 This frock Is all black, and is semi-dinner gown. The skirt is mar. row-very little material being used in it's development. But it is very cleverly looped up to one side, just the | merest trif1e-enough, however, to givet an appearance of soft fitness. This fitness is further emphasized by the use of chenille, for deep fringe of heavy black chenille outlines the skirt.
 The sleeves are of black lace, and are of one piece with the top of the bodice forming a sort of soft, high 1 collar in the back. The wide diagon- al belt is of black satin, crushed and finished in front with huge black silk rose with jet petals fastened at the side drapery of the skirt.
 A faint suggestioneof white, reliev- ing the sombre costume, is revealed i lightly through the skirt For un- der it is worn a black lace petticoat over flesh satin.
 Because of the different contrasting l lines used in this costume there Is an illusion of fulness and drapery that really doesn't exist.
 The belt is not full, draped af- fair, but appears so simply because of it's soft, diagonal sweep. Similarly, the skirt is narrow, but made to seem full through the light looping and the fan of fringe.

CAMP AICN FOR
 ALL WAR FUNDS
 HERE NOV. 11-10
Seven Great Organizations Share in Proceeds of
 United Drive.

Definite announcement of the pre- liminary plans for the united war fund campaign which will be launch ed in Bridgeport for a week, begin ming Nov. II, was authorized today by Isaac Moss, chairman of the pub licity department of the big organiza- tion.
 The united war fund campaign will be directed by an organization having representatives of seven organizations which will share in the financial re- turns of the campaign. These are the Young Mems Christian Association, Young Women's Christian Associa- tion, the Knights of Columbus, the Jewish Welfare Board American Li brary Association, War Camp Com munity Service, and the Salvation Army.
 Each of these organizations has l undertaken work in connection with 1 the welfare of the soldiers and sail | ors. Having a common purpose, the associations now will appeal to the | public for support in a common call for funds This call will take the 1 form of drive such as has been con- ducted here by each of the associa- i tons. individually. The merging of l the finances, and their allotment irr proportions agreed upon. eliminate ! vast amount of duplication.
 Full details of the agreement to al- lot the funds in the nation, state and city, will be announced through the publicity committee.
 For the purpose of preliminary work the general committee, already has opened headquarters in the Strat- field hotel, Room Al, and telephone communication will be installed this week. A busy staff has taken pos session of the headquarters and is now preparing the great amount of ground work for the volunteer workers.
 These volunteers will embrace rep.
 resentatives of the various interested
 societies. The familiar scheme o1
 roonday meetings, with division of the
 workers in a quasi military organiza.
 ton will be followed in the work ot
 the campaigners.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS

A very simple little cushion, and yet very pretty to hang beside ones dresser or bed can be made out of a Japanese doll as the foundation. About the head a length of pretty pink Dresden ribbon is tightly gathered. This is well stuffed with a little lambs wool and tucked in the center bit of some pleasing sachet powder and the ribbon is tightly gathered again at the bottom.
 The doll is suspended by a ribbon fashioned to the cushion back of the dolls head and finished with a small bow. Another bow Is put at the bot tom and this is made with a little longer loops than the one at the top.
 These little cushions make nice Christmas gift to set on the dresser for fancy pins and, if used for thai purpose fiat ,.pasteboard disc GOV cred with ribbon. The top is then loosely gathered, the cushion Is filled the dolls head slipped into. place and the gathered string pulled tightly | around the neck with a big bow.

Much rejoicing has been felt among the swains of the city since the Food Administration made the announce ment that they may pass the regula- ton that only one pound of candy may be purchased at a time. Such an excellent alibi for the usual five pound box of candy on Sunday even- ing has not been found in many . day.
 Several confectionery plants have been communicated by the govern ment for the manufacture of candy for the soldiers.

What task more easy than design Ing dinner gown for the tall figure :? That seems to be a common opinion. When we examine prints of famous old beauties who were tall and slen- der we see them in all their stiff dig nlty of low gown and long train with positive lines of demarcation at waist and hip and shoulder.
 Dignified they were, to be sure. But the square line, trailing evening gown
