Pittsburg, Pa. Dec a-Edward Rowe. q
resident Of Indiana, Pa. has invented a
new system Of train operation by means Of
q telephone working in such q way as to
keep the train in touch with the block
ONCE and through that ONCE with the d.
vision dispatcher. In addition to this the
electric connection operates an indicator
which shows the position Of the train as It
completes each one-fourth mile OF its trip
over the block.
The system has been tested. and exami-
nation Of its working will be made in a
few days by operating officials Of the
Pennsylvania Railroad. The tests have
been made on the Indiana branch Of the
West Penn division. and local officials have
kept in close touch with the experiments.
Greater safety at comparatively small
expense, especially for single track rail-
roads. and simplicity of equipment. are tho
chief advantages claimed.
The system consists Of a telephone in
the engine cab and in the ONCE OF the
block operator. Tho office telephone is
connected At all times with a wire run
other on the telegraph poles. At quarter
mile intervals contact rails are placed on
the ties Just outside the roadway rails.
TheS0 COntaCI rAllb are DOCKS Oh WOOu
With a sheet steel or iron covering They
are connected with the wire on the poles.
The engines are equipped with telephone
instrument. with the wires leading TO a
brush on the outside OF the engine. SO
placed as to run on the contact rails
As the engine passes each contact rail
the contact Is recorded on an Indicator In
the operators office and shows how far the
train has progressed. II the operator de-
sires to talk to the engine driver all that
Il needful is for him to switch on strong
er current. which will ring the bell Of the
Telephone instrument In the cab. The en-
cine driver will stop his train and back up
to the contact rail. when he can talk to the
operator. 1t is possible also for MIN TO
lift the telephone instrument from its
hooks and carry 1t to the nearest contact
raiI. in case the engine should be disabled.
Ti1e failure Of the contacts to be recorded
in due time would mean. barring the ordi-
nary caanse LOT tne tses enef' a1 idsIt bsd Se

the operator to catch any oncoming train
inside of q quarter OF a mile and avoid ac-

What Sulphur Dsss
For the Hsman Body IN Health
and DHease-

The mention of sulphur will recall to
many Of Us the early days when our
mothers and grandmothers gave us our
daily dose Of sulphur and moiasses every
spring and fall. H=
1t was the universal spring and fail
blood purifier" tonic and cure-all. and.
mind you. this old-fashioned remedy was
not without merit
crude and unpalatahle. and a large guam
tity had to be taken to get any effect.
Nowadays We get all the beneficial ef-
fects Of sulphur In a palatable. concen-
trated form. SO that single grain Is far
more effective than q tablespoonful of the
crude sulphur.
In recent years research and experiment.
have proven that the best sulphur for
medicinal use Is that obtained from Cali
cium Calcium Sulphide) and sold in drug
stores under the name Of Stuart's Calcium
Waters. They are small chocolate-coated
pellets and contain the active medicinal
principle Of sulphur in a highly concen-
trated. effective form.
Few people are aware Of the value Of
this form Of sulphur in restoring and
maintaining bodily vlsor and health: sui
phur acts directly on the liver and eXcrs-
tory organs and purihes and enriches the
blood by the prompt elimination Of waste
Our grandmothers knew this when they
dosed US with sulphur and molasses every
spring and fall, but the crndity and i'm
purity OF ordinary flowers OF sulphur were
often worse than the disease. and cannot
compare with the modern concentrated
preparations Of sulphur. OF which Stuart's
Calcium Waters is undoubtedly the best
and most widely used.
They are the natural antdote for liver
and kidney troubles and cure constipation
and purify the blood In way that often
surprises patient and physician alike
DR.. r. u. Wilkins. while experimenting
with sulphur remedies. soon found that
the sulphur from Calcium was superior to
any other form. He says: For liver. kid
ney and blood troubles. especially when
resulting from constipation or malaria.
have been surprised at the results OBJ
tanned from Stuart's Calcium Waters. In
patients suffering from boiIs and pimples
and even deep-seated carbuncles. I have
repeatedly seen them dry up and disap-

sold by druggists, and for that reason Ia
booed by many physicians. yet I know
Of nothing so safe and reliable for consti-

At any rate. people vino are tired Of
