The German explosive fell amid an as

concentrating the greatest sacrifice
ever offered that peace should reign
on earth.
Feeling runs high in Paris tonight.

The American Red Cross once mora

Mr.. Grosseau, in the chamber of
deputies here tonight, said:
"The barbarian enemy resumed his
bombardment on Good Friday and his
victims are numerous. It is with ex-

that I note that most of them were
assembled in church. We must not
forget that justice and right shall
have the last word before God and
before man."
Jean Bon. socialist leader, said:
"At the moment when women, chill

heaven to end this horrible butchery,
the roof of the church, shattered by
steel, responded with blood to their
prayers.

advertising and sale of oil and gas
leases known as the Narland leases,

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

If you must have your meat every day,
eat it, but flush your kidneys with salts
occasionally, says n noted authority who
tells us that meat forms uric acid which
almost paralyzes the kidneys in their ef-
forts to eXpel it from the blood. They
become sluggish and weaken. then you
suffer with a dull misery in the kidney
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
time during the night.
To ncutrahze these irritating acids, to
cleanse the kidneys and flush off the
body's uriuous waste get four Ounces of
Jad Salts from any pharmacy here:
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 fer generations
to flush and stimulate sluggish Kidneys,
also to neutralize the acids in urine,
so it no longer irrtates, thus ending
bladder weakness. y
lad Salts ia inexpensive; cannot in
jurc, and makes delightful efleryesceni
lithla-water drink.

LADIES! DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
Use Crandrna's Sage Tea and
Sulphur Recipe and Nobody
will Know.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded, gray hair to it's natural
color dates back to grandmother
time. She used il 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 bottle of "Wyeth's 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 it darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell it has
been applied. You simply dampen q
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
strand at time. BY morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two, 1t becomes
beautifully dark and glossy.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is a delightful toilet requisite
f1r those who desire more youthful
appearance. 1t is not intended for
the cure, mitigation or prevention OF
disease,
