The old-time mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur for darkening gray, streaked and faded hair is grand mother's treatment, and folks are again using it to keep their hair a good, even color, which is quite sensi ble, as we are living in an age when a youthful appearance is of the great est advantage. Nowadays, though, we don't have the troublesome task of gathering the sase and mussy mixing at home. All drug stores sell the ready-to-use pro duct called "Wyeth's Sage and Sul phur Compound" for about 50 cents a bottle. It is very popular because nobody can discover it has been ap plied. 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 de lights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur is that, besides beautiful ly darkening the hair after a few ap plications, it also produces that soft lustre and appearance of abundance which Is so attractive: besides, pre vents dandruff, itching scalp and fall ing hair.- Harp.r House pharmacy.

If you must have your meat every day. eat it. but flush jour kidneys with salts occasionally, says a noted authority who tells us that meat forms uric acid which almost paralyzes the kidneys in their efforts to expel it from the blood. They become slug gish and weaken, then you suffer with a dull misery in the kidney region, sharp pains in the back or sick head ache, dizziness, your stomach sours, tongue is coated and when the weath er is bad you havo rheumatic twinges. The urine gets cloudy, full of sedi ment, the channels often get sore and irritated, obliging you to Geek relief two or three times during the night. To neutralize these irrtating acids, to cleanse the kidneys and flush off the body's urinous waste get four ounces of Jad Salts from any phar macy here; take a tablespoonful In a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon Juice, combined with lithia and has been used for generations to flush "nd stimulate sluggish kidneys, alpo to neutralize the acids in urine, so it nu longer irritates, thus ending bladder weakness. Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot In jure and makes a delightful efferves cent lltbia-water drink. Harper House pharmacy. (Adr.j Mayor H. M.
