EAT LESS MEAT
If BACK HURTS
Take a glass of Salts to flush Kidneys
if Bladder bothers you-Drink
lots of water.

Eating meat regularly eventually pro-
duces kidney trouble in some form or
other, says q well-known authority, be-
cause the uric acid in meat excites the
kidneys, they become overworked; get
sluggish; clog up and cause all sorts Of
distress, particularly backaehe and 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 beck 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 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 clogged kidneys and stimulate them
to normal activity; also to neutralHe the
acids in the urine so it no longer irri-
tates, thus ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone;
makes a delightful effervescent ithia-
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.

Be PRETTY! TURN
. GRAY HAIR DARK
Try Grandmother's Old Favorite
Recipe of Sage Tea and
Sulphur.

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 Is mussy and trouble
some. Nowadays, by asking at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" you will get a large
bottle Of this famous old recipe, i'm
proved by the addition Of other IN
gradients, at q small cost.
Don't stay gray! Try It! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as 1t does 1t so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with 1t and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at q time: by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap-
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, glossy and attractive.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound Is q delightful toilet requisite
Tor those who desire dark hair and
youthful appearance. It Is not in
tended for the cure, mitigation or pre-
vention Of disease.

Not a Bite Of
Breakfast Until
You Drink Water
says q glass Of hot water and
phosphate prevents Illness
and keeps us fit.

Just as coal, when It burns, leaves
behind q certain amount of incom-
bustible material in the form of ashes,
30 the food and drink taken day after
day leaves in the alimentary canal a
certain amount Of indigestible ma
terial, which If not completely alimina-
ted from the system each day, be-
comes food for the millions Of bacteria
which infest the bowels. From this
mass Of leftover waste, toxins and
ptomain.like poisons are formed and
sucked into the blood.
Men and women who can't get feel
ing right must begin to take inside
baths. Before eating breakfast each
morning drink a glass Of real hot
water with q teaspoonful Of lime
stone phosphate In it to wash out OF
the thirty feet Of bowels the previous
days accumulation Of poisons and
toxins and to keep the entire alimen-
tary canal clean, pure and fresh.
Those who are subject to sick head
ache, colds, biliousness, constipation,
others who wake up with bad taste,
foul breath, backache, rheumatic stiff
ness, or have sour, gassy stomacn
after meals, are urged to get a quarter
pound Of limestone phosphate from
the drug store, and begin practicing
internal sanitation. This will cost
very little, but is sufficient to make
anyone an enthusiast on the subject.
Remember inside bathing Is more
important than outside bathing, be-
cause the skin pores do not absorb
impurities into the blood, causing poor
health, while the, bowel pores do.
Just as soap and rot water cleanses,
'sweetens and freshens the skin, 80
hot water and limestone phosphate
act on the stomach, liver, kidneys and
howels

Famine and Hunger
Know No Ar7rlisice

America is Pledged, War or Peace, to
Furnish Food to Millions Of Allied
Peoples Now in Misery, and the
Only Way to Send 1t is to Save It.
America is Still to Feed Hungry
World.
A hundred and eighty million people
IN hungry lands are looking to Amer
lea for food which no other people e1-
cept the American people can give
them.
In their misery and fannie, Bel
gium, Northern France, Central Rus
sia, Serbia, Montenegro Poland, Ru-
mania and Armenia are already crying
aloud to America.
From America food must 30. What
Ia sent must be saved.
Perhaps that is Americas mission.
Peace or. no peace, war or no war,
the American people must keep On
saving food.
This Is the message of the United
States Food Administration, whose
leaders realize that the outcome OF
the present situation will only In
crease the responsibilities Of the UNI
ted States, no matter how events IN
Europe turn.
Millions OF people in territory that
has been occupied by the enemy are
in misery. Famine stalks abroad.
They must be fed.
Under any circumstances, the
American nation Is bound by tho
food pledge OF August, 1918. The
Allies were told: Make your plans
for Victory"
To this victory. Americas contri-
button, among other things, will be
seventeen and one-haH million tons OF
food. America is bound. The pledge
Is not broken by the signing Of the
armistice.
The change that has come in the
situation has rather increased the
burden on American resources be-
cause the burden Of feeding millions
Of hungry peoples who could not be
reached before now becomes the
common burden of the Allies; and
that obligation can be essened only
by living up to It
There is but one way in which sew
teen and onehaH million tons OF
food can be got to send to Europe to
save the lives Of hundreds Of thous.
aads who will die from hunger in a
famine land unless they get It. That
way is to save It.
It means intensive saving Of an
food, just as wheat was saved in the
wheat emergency, just as sugar was
saved In the sugar emergency. There
can be no greater folly INDUCED BY
the American people than the idea
that because the fighting has ceased IN
Europe there Is no longer any need
Of saving food.
America is pledged.
The nations pledge must be re-
deemed, war or no war, peace or no
pecae.
Suffering humanity and national
honor demand it.
