public service commission, asking for
a further effort to facilitate the load

classes of cars. The commission ac
knowledges the hearty response of
shippers to Its previous request, but
asks both co-operation and suggestions

disregard all published tariff mini
mums. ,
. Second, load and unload cars the
day received, if possible, regardless of
the 48-hour, free-time limit.
Third, give immediate notice to rail
road companies when cars are empty.
or, telephone them in advance of the
approximate time when the cars will
be emptied.
Fourth, under no circumstances use
cars as warehouses.
Fifth, the practice of consigning to
any riven destination without a bona
fide sale, thereby affording prompt dis
position or release of cars, should be
discontinued.
Sixth, anticipate your needs as far
in advance as possible.
Seventh, co-operate with customers
in arranging orders so that any avail
able equipment can be used, regardess
of carrying capacity.
Eighth, advise the commission
promptly of any delay on the part of
the carriers in setting cars for unload
ing, moving cars when unloaded, or
the prompt switching of empties when
released.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streak
ed or gray. Years ago the only way
to get this mixture was to make It at
home, which is mussy and trouble
some. Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sul
phur Compound." You will get a large
bottle of this old-time recipe improved
by the addition of other ingredients for
about 60 cents. Everybody uses this
preparation now, because no one can
possibly tell that you darkened your
hair, as it does it so naturally and
evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand at
a time; by morning the gray hair dis
appears, and after another application
or two, your hair becomes beautifully
dark, thick and glossy and you look
years younger. Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound Is a delightful toil
et requisite. It is not intended for the
cure, mitigation or prevention of dis
ease.

Kidney and Bladder weakness result
from urlo acid, says a noted authority.
The kidneys filter this acid from tfc
blood and pass it on to the blatter,
where It often remains to Irritate aid
inflame, causing a burning, scalding
sensation, or setting up an Irritation
at the neck of the bladder, obliging
you to seek relief two or three times
during the night. The sufferer is In
constant dread, the water passes
sometimes with a scalding sensation
and Is very profuse; again, there Is
difficulty in avoiding It
Bladder weakness, most folks caU
It, because they can't control urina
tion. While It is extremely annoying
and sometimes very painful, this la
really one of the most simple ailments
to overcome. Oet about four ounces
of Jad Salts from your pharmacist
and take a tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast, continue this
for two or three days. This will neu
tralize the acids in the urine so It no
longer is a source of irritation to the
bladder and urinary organs which
then act normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless,
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with llthla,
and is used by thousands of folks who
are subject to urinary disorders caus
ed by uric acid irritation. Jad Salts
Is splendid for kidneys and causes no
bad effectB whatever.
Here you have a pleasant, efferves
cent lithia-water drink, which quickly
relieves bladder trouble.
