ANXIOUS MOTHER FINDS LOST TOT
UNDER AN ALIAS AT POLICE STATION

Wearing a look Of anguish. Mrs. Jo-
sephine Sullivan came 10 police head
quarters last night and told of the sud-
den disappearance OF her 9-year-old son
from the Kearns' Urphanage. She
found him in the city JAR, where ne had
been calmly claiming the name Of
Gerald Burns.
The anxious mother had read of a
lost child who had been found by the
police, and wanted to see him. The lad
had given the name of Gerald Burns.
and told the officers that he had been
left by his parents in an old, empty
house whence they had moved. Since
Tuesday he has been in the charge of
the matron at the city Jail, but his
parents could not be found. She was
told the lads story, but when she
learned that the child had not been
called for. she asked to see him. She
was taken to the matron's room.
Lying peacefully asleep on coy cot
was the boy whom she recognized as
her son.
Bursting into tears she sat on the cot
beside him. and with only the tender
ness of a mother, picked him up in her
arms and aroused him. As soon as the
child was awake ne pleaded with his
mother not to send him oack to the or
phanage.
let me stay here, mamma" he
pleaded. Mrs. Pickett is good TO me
and 1 don't want 70 go back to school.
Bring sister here, too. mamma. and let
Us live in the Jail all the time.
The child was again tucked in his
bed by Mrs. Sullivan. and she kissed him
and waited until he was sound asleep.
But today she intends to call for her
son, Jimmy" and take him back to

Mrs. Sullivan is a widow and the
mother of two children. Jimmy is

Effie. ) years of age. over a year ago
when her husband died, she was forced
TO work out for a living. and sent her
two children to the orphans home
Every week she calls at the orphansge
and visits with her children for several
hours Late yesterday afternoon she
went to see them, but her son was not
there. She had previously taken her
son away with her for few days. but
last Tuesday went out to the orphans
home with him and put him off the car
in front. Instead of gOinE. back, he ran
away and wandered back down town,
where ne was found by Officer Sullivan.
The lad was shivering with cold, and
hungry, and he told tale of how his
parents had made him stay at home
while they were moving to a new house
but had not come back after him.
Dozens of inquiries were made for the
child each day, and several persons
called to see him and wanted TO adopt
him. He told the same story over and
over again and his pitiful tale brought
more inquiries. He was satisfied to
stay at the city Jail and seemed perfect
~ cOntented.
When his mother Went to the orphan
age yesterday and found him missing
she was afraid he had been kidnapped
or had wandered away. His little sister,
Effie was heartbrOken and the nuns
were unable to console her. After the
mother had found him at the city jail
she telephOned to the daughter at the
orphanage and promised TO bring the
brother back today.

WHAT SULPHUR DOES
For the Human Body in Health
and Disease.

The mention of sulphur will recall to
many Of MS the early days when our
mothers and gran6mOthers gave us our
daily dose of sulphur and mOlasses every
spring and fall.
IL vas the universal spring and fall
blood purifier tonic and cure-all: and
mind you, this old-fashioned remedy was
| not without merit.
The idea was good. but the remedy was
crude and unpalatable, and a large guam
uty had to be taken to get any effect
Nowadays we get all the beneficial Of
feets of sulphur in a palatable, concen-
, trated form. so that a single grain is far
more effective than tablespoonful OF
the crude sulphur.
In recent years research and experiment
have proven that the best sulphur for
medicinal use is that obtained from Cal
cum Calcium Sulphide) and sold in drug
stores under the name Of Stuart's CAL
cium Waters. They are small chocolate
coated pellets and contain the active
medicinal principle OF sulphur in a highly
| concentrated. effective form.
Few people are aware Of the value OF
this form OF sulphur in restoring and
maintaining bodily vigor and health; sui
phur acts directly on the liver and eX-
cretory organs and purifies and enriches
the blood by the prompt elimination Of
waste material

dosed us with sulphur and mOlasses every

SCIENTISTS SOLVE THE PROBLEM
OF THE WISE HORSE OF GERMANY

How many persons are in the group
behind me?" The questioner did not
look behind and Hans did not give a
correct reply, nor was he able when
wearing bIinkeIs to perform the sim
plest counting. Stumpf does not doubt
the good faith of Won Osten, but he
concluded that the horses long train
ing had taught him to detect the eye
sight changes in the bearing OF his
questioner as he reached the right num-
Der of hOof beats in spelling er in US
ing the counting apparatus. This
sharpness Of observation In itself is
most remarkable. as the horse notes
movements or changes in expression
invisible TO others and of which the
questioner is unconscious. This concep-
ton Of the horses abilities is the only
one to cover all circumstances. Or.
Stumpf says he talked with Naturalist
Schillings about this and Schillings
agreed with him.
