FEW FOLKS NAVE
 GRAY HAIR NOW
Druggist Says Ladies Are Using Recipe of Sage Tea and
 Sulphur

Hair that loses It's color and lus- tre. or when 1t fades, turns gray, dull and lifelnss, is caused by a lack of sulphur in the hair. Our grandmother made up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to keep her locks dark and beautiful, and thou sands of women and men who value Chat even color, that beautiful dark shade of hair which is so at tractiye, use only this old-time rec ipe.
 Nowadays we get this famous mixture improved by the addition of other ingredients by asking at any drug store for bottle of "Wyeths Sage and Sulphur Compound" which darkens the hair sd naturally. so evenly, that nobody can possibly tell it has been applied You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one 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 darken ing the hair after few applications, 1t also brings back the gloss and lustre and gives 1t an appearance of abundance.

CLEAN KIDNEYS
 BY DRINKING
 LOTS OF WATER
Take Salts to Flush Kidneys if Bladder Bothers or
 Back Hurts.

Eating too much rich food may produce kidney trouble in some form, says a well-knOwn authority, because the acids created excite the kidneys. Then they become oyerworked, get sluggish, clog up and cause all sorts of distress, particularly baekache and misery in the kidney region, rheu- matic twinges, severe headaches, acid stomach. constipation, torpid liver, sleeplessness, bladder and urinary ir- ritation.
 The moment your back hurts or kidneys aren't acting right, or if bladder bothers you, begin drinking lots of good water and also get about four ounces of lad Salts from any good pharmacy: take table spoonful in a glass of water besore breakfast for few days and your kidneys may then act fine. This fa- nous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for years to flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to activity; also to neutralize the acids in the system so that they no longer irritate, thus often relieving bladder disorders.
 lad Salts cannot injure anyone; makes a delightful effervescent Whitewater drink which millions of men and women take now and then to help keep the kidneys and urinary organs clean, thus often avoiding serious kidney disorders. By all means have Your physician examine your kidneys at least twice a year.

THE GREATER NEED.

The amount of money the Government gets for stumpage on it's timber and other natural sources is matter of little importance when compared with the gain that would follow development of the resources Natural resources in the ownership of the Federal Government retard rather than promote the pub1ic welfare when unused. Unutzcd resources contribute more to development when in private ownership than when owned by the Government Private owners of timber lands and other natural resources may at least, be compelled 10 pay taxes their holdings
 Further than that, there is great waste when natural resources unused. It is estimated for instance, by competent authority that Alaska could produce half as much paper the United States is new using forever without diminishing the supply Of timber That that timber sufficient to supply
