IF BACK HURTS

No man or woman who eats meat regu.
larly can make a mistake by flushing
the kidneys occasionally, says a we'll.
known authority. Meat forms uric acid
which clogs the kidney pores so they
sluggishly filter or strain only part of
the waste and poisons from the blood,
then you get sick Nearly all rheuma-
tism, headaches, liver trouble, nervous
ness, constipation, dizziness, sleeplessness,
bladder disorders come from sluggish kid
neys.
The moment you feel dull ache in the
kidneys or your back hurts, or if the
urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sedi-
ment, irregular of passage or attended
by a sensation of scalding, get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from any reliable
pharmacy and take a tablespoonful ii
glass of water before breakfast for a
few days and your kidneys viii then act
fine. This famous salts is made from
the acid of grapes and lemon juice, com
bined with lithia and has been used for
generations TO flush clogged kidneys and
stimulate them TO activity, also to neu-
tralize the acids in urine SO it no longer
causes irritation, thus ending bladder dis.

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
iustre to the hair when faded, streaksd
or gray. Years ago the only way to
get this mixture was to make II 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 a small cost.
Don't stay gray! Try 1t! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as II 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 a time: by morning the graz
hair disappears, and after another ap-
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark. glossy and attractive.

pound Is a delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire dark hair ana a
youthful appearance. 1t is not in

Points in Rapides and Avoyelles

through the crevasse at Ferriday had
joined with backwaters of the Red
River basin and were encroaching upon
rich farm lands in that territory.
