A relic of tlis revolutionary days when
we were not yet a nation still remains on
our paper money, says th Popular Science
Monthly. The seal which appears on every
bill Issued by the government contains the
abbreviated words "Thesaur. Amer. Sep
tent. Slgll." The full phrase Is "Thesauri
Americana Scptentrlomalls HlgUlum," which
simply means, "Seal of the Treasury of
North America." Our distinguished an

with dignity. It had to be said In Latin.
Council of Defense
To Make Spring Drive
Soon for More Food
Resolutions to concentrate on the
problems of food production and con
servation during the spring months
were passed at the February meeting
of the executive board of the wo
man's committee of the Nebraska
State Council for Defense. The se
rious problems of the distribution of
food products will be investigated
thoroughly and all possible help se
cured for the producers.
Mrs. F. M. Deweese of Dawson, re
cently appointed chairman of the food
production committee, was delegated
to confer with Nebraska's food ad
ministrator, Mr. Wattles, concerning
the possible government solutions of
the problems of labor, market and
transportation. She will also seek the
viewpoints of the woman produceri
themselves as to their needs.
"This is the biggest problem be
fore the country today," said Mis'
Hrbkova, chairman of the woman';
committee. "We are facing much
the situation which Russia is combat
ing. Russia has overproduced, yet
through lack of distribution facilities
people in some- parts of Russia are
facing starvation. The woman's com
.mittee hopes to find some means oi
establishing a marketing medium
which will bring together the city
women who face a shortage and the
farm women who are overstocked
with vegetables and dairy products."

ho man or woman wtto eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by
flushing the kidneys occasionally,
says a well-known authority. Meat
forms a uric acid which excites the
kidneys, they become overworked
from the strain, Ret sluggish and fail
to filter the waste and poisons from
the blood, then we get sick. Nearly
all rheumatism, headaches, liver trou
ble, nervousness, dizziness, sleepless
ness and urinary disorders come from
sluttish kidneys.
The moment you feel a 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 a sensation of sqalding,
stop eating meat and get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from any phar
macy; take a tablespoonful in a glass
of water before breakfast and in a
few days your kidneys will act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, com
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to flush and stimulate
the kidneys, also to neutralize the
acids in urine so it no longer causes
irritation, thus ending bladder weak
ness. Jad Salts is inexpensive and can
not injure; makes a delightful effer
vescent lithia-water drink which
everyone should take now and then
to keep the kidneys clean and active
and the blood pure, thereby avoiding
serious kidney complications. Adv.

Grandmother kept her hair beauti
fully darkened, glossy and attractive
with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair took on that dull,
faded or streaked appearance, this
simple mixture was applied with won
derful effect. By asking at any drug
store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound," you will get a large bot
tle of this old-time recipe, improved
by the addition of other ingredients,
ail ready to use, at very little cost.
This simple mixture can be depended
upon to restore natural color and
beauty to the hair.
HerGrandfna
Used Sa&Tea
To Darken
Her Hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound now because
it darkens so naturally and evenly
that nobody can tell it has been ap
plied it's so easy to use, too. You
simply dampen a comb or soft brush
and draw it through your hair, taking
one strand at a time. By morning the
gray hair disappears; after another
application or two it is restored to
its natural color and looks glossy,
soft and beautiful. This peparation
is a delightful toilet requisite. It is
not intended for the cure, mitigati
or prevention of disease. Adr
