Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy
hair is mute evidence of a neglected

There is nothing so destructive to

If not remedied causes the hair roots

the first application your hair will

which is so beautiful. It will become
wavy and fluffy and have the appear

Figures That Show New York's Traffic Congestion
N EW YORK.—No wonder shoes are wearing out add the price o
leather soaring. A survey made by the traffic squad of the police depart
ment shows that 2,152,271 persons cross the principal street intersections
during the average ten business hours
a day in Manhattan, the Bronx and
Brooklyn. The largest number of pe
destrians is observed at a crossing in
Park Row—296,200 in a day, and the
greatest number of vehicles at the
crossing of Fifth avenue and Forty
second street.
The figures indicate that about
one-half the population of the city
uses the streets each day. Recent
complaints to the police about "hold

The New Method
(BY L. W. BOWER, M. D.)
Backache of any kind is often caused
by kidney disorder, which means that
the kidneys are not working properly
Poisonous matter and uric acid accumu
late within the body in great abundance
over-working the sick kidneys, hence
the congestion of blood causes backache
in the same manner as a similar con
gestion in the head causes headache.
You become nervous, despondent, sick,
feverish, irritable, have spots appearing
before the oyes, bags under the lids, and
lack ambition to do things.
The latest and most effective means
of overcoming this trouble, is to eat spar
ingly of meat, drink plenty water be
tween meals and take a single Anuric
tablet before each meal for a while.
Simply ask your favorite druggist for
Anunc. If you have lumbago, rheuma
tism, gout, dropsy, begin immediately
with this novel treatment.

Sick headache, biliousness, dizzi

breath—always trace them to torpid
liver; delayed, fermenting food in the
bowels or sour, gassy stomach.
Poisonous matter clogged in the in
testines, instead of being cast out
of the system is re-absorbed into the
blood. When this poison reaches the
delicate brain tissue it causes con
gestion and that dull, throbbing, sick
ening headache.
Cascarets immediately cleanse the
stomach, remove the sour, undigested
food and foul gases, take the excess
bile from the liver and carry out all
the coMStipated waste matter and
poisons in the bowels.
A Cascaret to-night will surely
straighten you out by morning. They
