To reach the composer one journeys
to East Ninety-second Street, where
he and his family are temporarily oc-

A silent and solemn servant opened
the door and led the way up a dark
and winding staircase to library with
claret colorcd walls and mahogany
furniture. The room was dark and
close, only a degree less gloomy than
the wet weather outside. The servant
opened a window, remarked gravely
that he hoped it would be possible to
carry on the conversation in French, as
his master did not speak English, and
vanished.
Then came Rachmaninoff, a batting,

BIG EATERS GET
KIDNEY TROUBLE.
Take a glass Of Salts before breakfast
if your Back hurts or Bladder

The American men and women must
guard constantly against Kidney trouble
because we eat too much and all our foo6
is rich. Our blood is filled with uric
acid which the kidneys strive to filter
out, they weaken from oyerwork, becomc
sluggish; the eliminative tissues clog and
the result is kidney trouble, bladder
weakness and general decline in health
When your kidneys feel like Jumps OF
Iced; your back hurts or the urine is
cloudy, full of sediment or you are
obliged to seek relief two or three times
during the night; if you suffer with sick
headache or dizzy, nervous spells, acid
stomach, or you have rheumatism when
the weather is bad, get from your phar
macist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in a glass Of
water before breakfast for 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 clogged kidneys;
to neutralize the acids in the urine so it
no longer is source of irritation, thus
ending bladder disorders.

Common garden sage brewed into

beautifully dark and luXuriant. Just
a few applications will prove a revela-

draw this through your hair taking
one small strand at time; by morning
all gray hairs have disappeared, and,
