TURN HAIR DARK
WITH SAGE TEA
If Mixed With Sulphur 1t
Darkens So Naturally
Nobody Can Tell.

The old-time mixture of Sage Tea
and Sulphur for darkening
streaked and faded hair Is grandmoth-
er's recipe, and folks are again using it
to keep the hair a good, even color,
which is quite sensible, as we are living
in an age when a youthful appearance
is of the greatest advantage.
Nowadays, though, we don't have the
task Of gathering the sage
and the mussy mixing at home. All
drug stores sell the ready-to-use prod
uct, improved by the addition of other
ingredients, called "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" 1t is very
lar because nobody can discover 1t has
been applied. Simply moisten your
comb or a soft brush with It and draw
this through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, but what delights the
ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound Is that, besides beautifully
d~arkening the hair after a few applica-
tons, it also produces that soft ulster
and appearance Of abundance which is
so attractive. adv,

Adequate Telephone Rates
Are Now Needed

For more than two years it has been evident that the
increasing costs OF operation, caused by the increasing
costs Of labor, material and services, would necessitate a
REIMBURSEMENT Of rates and charges for telephone service.
Present telephone rates were fixed at a time when the
costs of operation were much lower. The costs of present
day labor and material is reflected by the increased cost
to the public of all services and commodities: and the
higher costs for these elements of telephone operation
in turn make a readjustment of telephone charges even
more urgent.
Plans to secure a revision of rates had been complet-
ed by this company at the time the United States Gov
eminent assumed control of it's lines and properties on
August 1918. The United States Government now, af-
ter actual experience in the operation of the properties,
finds the same need for increased revenue to prevent an
actual operating loss, which the company foresaw.
A continuation of telephone service at the present
rates up to this time has been possible only by the COM
tanned by the Bell System, and partly because of new
and more economical methods of operation which have
been introduced.
We have effected every possible economy and utili-
zd our plant to the limit, so the only way the Govern
meet tn greatly increased costs of operation.
OF the rates. Operation by the Government has veri-
tied the urgency Of the need of additional revenue TO
meet the greatly increased costs of operation.
The rates for telephone service necessary to preserve
the balance between revenue and expenses will, on the
average, result in a small increase as compared with the
increases applied during the past few years to all other
commodities and services in general.

HEAVY MEAT EATERS
HAVE SLOW KIDNEYS
Eat less meat if you feel Back
achy or have bladder trouble
Take glass of Salts.

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make mistake by
flushing the kidneys occasionally, says
a we'll known authority Meat forms
uric acid which excites the kidneys,
they become overworked from the
strain, get sluggish and fail to filter
the waste and poisons from the blood.
then we get sick. Nearly all rheuma-
tism, headaches, liver trouble, nerv-
BUSINESS, dizziness. sleeplessness and
urinary disorders come from sluggish
kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts or if
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of
sediment, irregular of passage or at
tended by a sensation of scalding, stop
eating meat and get about four ounces
of Jad Salts from any pharmacy; take
a tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast and in few days
your kidneys will act fine. This ia
nous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia, and has been used for gen.
erations to flush, and stimulate the
kidneys, also to neutralize the acids
in urine so it no longer causes irrita-
ton, thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-water drink which every one
should take now and then to keep the
kidneys clean and active and the blood
pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney
compIications.-Adv

and brassie shafts are what would be
termed whippy. On the other hand
Francis Ouimet's brassie is stiff, and
he is good for a drive somewhere
around 240 to $50 yards. 1t is doubt
less true that most prominent players
today prefer the stiff shaft.
How stiff a club should be is purely
matter of individual preference, for
the shaft which gives one man good
results may fall far short of the re-
quirements of another. If you want
to follow the majority you will prob
ably incline to a stiff shaft with just
the degree of springiness which seems
to suit you. Farther than that it is
impossible to be helpful in this regard
1t is interesting to note that pracu-
cally without exception the noted
golfers take full advantage of the
length of their clubs. Not more than
about an inch of the shaft remains un-
used by most noted golfers. The aver
age club length is 43 inches but the
club length must have some relation
ship to the physique of the individual
player. 1t is interesting to note that
the tall men do not seem to prefer the
longest clubs, nor do short players
make up for lack of height by length
of shaft. This seems to verify the po-
sition I have always taken that the
club must be adapted to the player
Thru experimenting every man will
work out for himself the length OF
shaft in which he has confidence,
which he feels sure of. and that should
be the standard for that man.
If you are ambitious to be an excep-
tionally long driver (and 1 want to re-
peat here the caution l have given in
previous articles, that distance secured
at the expense of accuracy costs too
much) you need not forego your am
bition because you are short or be
sure of success because you are tall.
Nor will you find that either long
or short shaft brings the answer.
Neither height nor shaft length alone
decides. 1t is rather the proper adjust
ment of these two factors together
with careful timing and rythmic
stroke.

SUES FOR BRIDGE
Drainage District Asserts Street
Railway Structure Nuisance.
It's Shunganunga Flood Men
ace-Fix 1t, Demand.

Rebuilding of the Topeka Railway
company's bridge across Shunganunga
creek on Twelfth street was demanded
today in a petition for a writ of man
damus filed in the office of Mrs
Mary E. Chaplin. clerk of the district
court, by Shunganunga Drainage Dis
trict No. /.
1t is claimed in the petition that the
present bridge thru it's lack of water
way underneath is a public nuisance,
flooding property and filling base
ments, filling yards with filth and dirt
and preventing travel on public high
ways.
Charles B. Zarker, J. B. Grubbs and
Herbert w. Gees, members of the
board of directors of the district, set
out that the Shunganunga Drainage
District was incorporated in 1908 and
under powers granted by a legislative
enactment can fix the length of bridge
spans and decide upon location.
Lcvee Worthless Now.
The petition states that the district
has gone to much expense in con-
structinG a levee and Strengthening the
creeks channel. This expense and
work resulted in nothing. it was
charged, because of the failure of the
railway company to comply with the
order Of the board of directors to re-
construct the bridge so there will be
sufficient waterway underneath to
