 BEGIN ON SALTS
Says We Must Keep Feet Dry. Avoid Exposure, Eat No
 Sweets

Stay off the damp ground, avoid ex- posture, keep feet dry, eat no sweets of any kind for a while. drink lots of water and above all take spoonful of lad Salts occasionally to help keep down uric and toxic acid
 Rheumatism is caused by poison toxins, called acids, which are gem erated in the bowels and absorbed into the blood. It is the function of the kidneys to filter this acid from the blood and cast it out in the urine. The pores of the skin are also a means of freeing the blood of this impurity. In damp and chilly, cold weather the skin pores are closed. thus forcing the kidneys to do double work they be- come weak and sluggish and fail to eliminate this poison, which keeps ac- cumulating and circulating through the system, eventually settling in the joints and muscles, causing stiffness, soreness and pain, called rheumatism.
 At the first twinse of rheumatism get from any pharmacy about four ounces of lad Salts; put a tables spoonful in a glass of water and drink before breakfast each morning for week. This is helpful to neutralize scidity, remove body waste also to stimulate the kidneys. thus helping to rid the blood of these rheumatic poi sons.

EASY TO DARKEN
 YOUR GRAY HAIR
You Can Bring Back Color and Lustre With Sage Tea and
 Sulphur.

When you darken your hair with Sage Tea and Sulphur, no one can tell, because it's done so naturally, so evenly. Preparing this mixture, though, at home is mussy and trou- blesome. At little cost you can buy at any drug store the ready-to-use preparation, improved by the addi- tion of other ingredients called "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound" You just dampen sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning all gray hair disappears and, after an- other application or two your hair be- comes beautifully darkened, glossy and luxuriant.
 Gray. faded hair, though, no dis grace, is a sign of old age. and as we all desire a youthful and attractive get busy at once with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound and look years younger.

 quality of infallibiliiy. she checked
 her wild pace before she crossed the fhreshold. Everything depended on Ned and the cool. strong quality Of Nsd's nerves. She caught her breath ina curious deep gasp. then stepped into the room.
 Then that gasp became very nearly . cob. The way of deliverance was not clear. A wrinkled native woman. an Aleut or an Eskimo, who was evi- dentiy Doomsdorf's wife. looked up at her with dark inscrutable eyes from the opposite side of the room
 The whole picture went home to Bess in a glance. Lenore was hud- dled in chair before the stove, yield ing herself to the blessed warmth, al- ready shaking off the semi-apathy in- duced by the nights chill. But as yet there was no hope in her. She was shivering and helpless. impotent. Ned bent over her, his arms about her. now and then giving her sips from . cup of hot liquid that he held in his hand. His care, his tender solicitude, struck Bess with a sense of unutterable irony. Evidently he had no suspicion of the real truth.
 He looked up as Bess entered. Partly because the light was dim, partly because he was absorbed in the work of caring for Lenore to the ex- clueion Of all other thought. he failed to see the drawn look of horror on Bess' face.

 Bess almost sobbed aloud.
 At that instant she knew she must | work alone. She must give no sign of her own desperation before this stolid squaw. And yet she almost screamed with horror when she real ized that any second she might hear Doomsdorf's step on the threshold.
