FOUND A TOOTH
OF A MASTODON

Pomeroy, Wash, May GA giant
tooth from the jaw of some prehis-
toric animal, presumably the nam
moth or mastodon, was found here
last week and has been the center
of attraction for hundreds of people at
N. o. Baldwin's Office all day, where
the find is on exhibition.
The tooth was found by Dave Greene,
a painter, on the premises of viii
Waugh, on the noothill slope on the
south side of town. Waugh had exca-
waited to a depth of three or four feet
for the rear of his house, and the
tooth had been thrown out with the
dirt, and would perhaps have remained
unnoticed had not the morning sun
light falling on the ivory surface of
the grinder given off a CLINT, which
caught Greene's eye.
The tooth is the back tooth of the
lower jaw, and is finely preserved. It
measures 7x7x4 inches. The top, or
face, is slightly longer than the base,
being about SKA inches, and is CORFU
gated transversely instead of longi-
tudinally, and has a surface Of the
hardest ivory
This great grinder is firmly imbed-
ded in piece of the jawbone and
weighs eight pounds
Remains of the mas3odon abound

ages have been noted along the course
of Meadow guleh, eight miles north
of this city, but In most cases the rel
les found erumbled to chalky dust
when exposed to the air.

GET A MOVE ON

The committee Of the chamber Of com
meroe, which was chosen to wait upon
Mayor Wright and explain to him the
necessity Of Fastening completion Of the
Puyalup river bridge called upon the
mayor at bis office in the city hall this
morning.
The Puyallup river bridge should have
been completed and opened for traffic
about month ago and the long-continued
delay has been robbing the Tacoma msr-
chants Of many thousands oi dollars worth
OF business.
Mayor Wright assured the committee Of
his hearty co operation in the work and
promised to bring all possible pressure to
bear upon the contractors to hurry mat
ters.
The committee was composed Of Joshua
Peirce, T. B. Wallace and Secretary White

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

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 mo-
lasses every spring and fall.
1t was 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 quantity had to be taken to get
any effect.
Nowadays we get all the beneficial
effects of sulphur in a palatable, con-
centrated form, so that single grain
Is far more effective than tablespoon
full of the crude sulphur.
In recent years, research and expert
ment have proven that the best sui
phur for medicinal use is that obtain
ed from Calcium 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 prin-
siple of sulphur in highly concen-
trated, effective form.
Few people are aware Of the value
of this form of sulphur in restoring
and maintaining bodily vigor and
health: sulphur acts directly on the
liver, and excretory organs and puri-
fies and enriches the blood by the
prompt elimination of waste material.
our grandmothers knew this when
they dosed us with sulphur and mo-
lasses every spring and fall, but the
crudity and impurity Of ordinary flow
ers of sulphur we're often worse than
the disease, and cannot compare with
the modern concentrated preparations
OF sulphur, of which Stuart's Cal
ciurn Waters is undoubtedly the best
and most widely used.
They are the natural antidote for
liver and kidney troubles and cure con-
stlpation and purify the blood in
way that often surprises patient and
physician alike.
DR.. r. M. wilkins while experiment.
ing with sulphur remedies soon found
that the sulphur from Calcium was
superior TO any other form. He says:
For liver, kidney and blood troubles,
especially when resulting from con-
situation or malaria, 1 have been sur
nrised at the results obtained from
stuart's Calcium Waters. In patients
suffering from boils and pimples and
even deep-seated carbuncles, have re-
peatedly seen them dry up and dis
appear in four or five days, leaving
the skin clear and smooth. Although
Stuart's Calcium Waters is pro-
nrietary article, and sold by druggists
and for that reason tabooed by many
physicians, yet ! know OF nothing so
safe and reliable for constipation. liver
and kidney troubles and especially IN
AM forms Of skin disease as this rem
edy."
Al any rate people who are tired Of
pills, cathartics and so-calied blood
purifiers" viii find IN Stuarts Cal
cium Waters, q far safer, more pala-
table and effective preparation.
