Putting aside the letter to Jim

where Park lay. AS we entered I
heard Parks voice shrieking in

TURN HAIR DARK

The old-time mixture OF Sage Tea
and Sulphur for darkening gray,
streaked and faded hair is grandmoth-
er's recipe, and folks are again using it
TO keep their hair a good, even color,
which is quite sensible, as we are liv-
ing in an age when a youthful appear
ance is of the greatest advantage.
Nowadays, though, we don't have the
troublesome 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" It is very popu-
lar because nobody can discover it 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 Wyeths Sage and Sulphur
Compound, is that, besides beautifully
darkening the hair after a few applica-
tons, it also produces that soft lustre
and appearance of abundance which is
so attractive =

Clean Kidneys
BY Drinking
Lots of Water
Take Salts TO Flush Kidneys If
Bladder Bothers or
Back Hurts

Eating too much rich food may pro-
duce kidney trouble in some form, says
a well-known authority, because the
acids created excite the kidneys. Then
they become overworked, get sluggish,
clog up and cause all sorts of distress,
particularly backache and misery in the
kidney region, rheumatic twinges, severe
headaches, acid stomach, constipation,
torpid liver, sleeplessness, bladder and
urinary irritation.
The moment your back hurts or kid
neys aren't acting right, or if bladder
bothers you, begin drinking lots of good
water and also get about four ounces of
Jad Salts from any good pharmacy ;
take tablespoonful in a glass of water
before 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 years TO
flush clogged kidneys and stimulate
them to activity; also to neutralize the
acids in the system so that they nc
longer irritate, thus often relieving blad-
der disorders
Jad Salts can not injure anyone ;
makes a delightful effervescent lithia-
water 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 dis
orders. BY all means have Your phYsi-
clan examine your kidneys at least twice
a year. y

by the fact that from May, 1918.

These ranged from collisions re-

The Importance of having the
East River free from reefs at He'll

the Federal government and New

as 1898, a survey Of He'll Gate was
made by navy officers who report
ed the necessity of making the
channel safe. and suggested the
destruction of some of the most
dangerous rocks. A few years
later a process Of blasting was in
troduced but it was not until the
