HOLD-UP REPORTED TO
POLICE OF WOODBRIDGE

WOODBRIDGE, Oct. 16. - The
police are securing this vicinity for
a gang of three, two white men and
a colored accomplice who last night
held up Ben Shapiro, of Al West
18th street, Bayonne and Jack Sacks,
of Tenth street Bayonne, relieved
them of a gold watch and chain and
$40 in cash along the King Georges
road at 8 o'clock.
Shapiro and Sacks were In their
, machine going north on King
Georges road. There was a heavy
fog and the men were going at a
low speed. At this point another
automobile blocked their way and
forced Shapiro to stop his machine.
AS he did, three men pointing guns
into Shapiro's face and at Sacks Or
dered them to hold their hands up.
Frightened at the sight of the trio
and the guns the men complied, all
though Shapiro was hardly in a po-
sition to keep his hand up as he had
been nursing a fractured arm for
some time.
Shapiro relating the story to the
Woodbridge police further said that
the men went through their pockets.
From Shapiro they took the gold
watch and chain with $11, all he had
in cash at the time. Sacks carried
about IS which was also taken away
by the thugs.
After searching the men, the trio
still pointing their guns, ordered
them to stay in the machine until
they are gone. Within a few sec
onds, the hold-up men entered their
machine and sped away in the direc-
ton towards Fords.
The robbery was reported to the
notice a few minutes later an alarm
to apprehend the robbers was sen
out at once. Nothing was found
however of them.

Comb Sage Tea

Darkens Beautifully and Restores
Its Natural Color and
LuStre at Once

Common garden sage, brewed into
heavy tea, with sulphur and alcohol
added, will turn gray, streaked and
faded hair beautifully dark and lux
uriant. Mixing the Sage Tea and
Sulphur recipe at home, though, is
troublesome. An easier way is to get
the ready-to-use preparation, i'm
proved by the addition of other ingre-
dents, large bottle, at little cost, at
drug stores. known as "Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound, thus avoid
in. lot of muss.
While gray, faded hair is not sin
full, we all desire to retain Our youth
full appearance and attractiveness. By
darkening your hair with Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound, no one
can tell, because it does 1t so natural
ly, so evenly. You just dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
small strand at time; by morning all
gray hairs have disappeared. After
another application or two your hair
becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft
and luxuriant, and you appear years
younger. Advertisement

August, 1896 The nomination of Bry-

consideration not only for himself but
for the President and the future of
the party in the South, he ought to re-

the attitude of the President and real

If Back Hurts
Begin On Salts
Flush Your Kidneys Occasionally if
You Eat Meat Regularly

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make mistake by
flushing the kidneys occasionally, says
wellknown 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. Rheuma-
tism, headaches, liver trouble, nervous
ness, constipation, dizziness, sleep1ess-
ness, bladder disorders often come
from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel 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 sensation of scalding, get
about four ounces of Jad Salts from
any reliable pharmacy and take a
tablespoonful in a glass of water be-
fore breakfast for a few days and
your kidneys may then act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid
of grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia and has been used for gen
erations to flush clogged kidneys and
stimulate them TO activity. also to nett
tralize the acids in urine so it no
longer causes irritation, thus often end
ing bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and can
not injure; makes a delightful effer-
vescent lithia water drink, which ev-
eryone can take now and then to help
keep the kidneys clean and the blood
pure, thereby often preventing serious
kidney complications.
