What Sulphur Does

remedy was not without merit.
The idea was good, but the remedy
was crude and unpalatable, and a

any effect.
Nowadays we get all the beneficial
effects of sulphur i'm a palatable, con-

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 purl-
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
flowers of sulphur were often worse
than the disease. and cannot com

Y. M. C. A. AUXILIARY
WANTS STERE0PTIC0N.
Ladies Are Working for Funds to
Buy Machine with.

Buy Machine With.
The ladies of the Y. NJ. c. A. auxil-
larry have inaugurated movement to
secure a stereopticon outfit for the
use of the association.
The plan was adopted at meeting
Tuesday, and since that time those in
terested have been active in seeking
assistance from the public, as the
funds of the treasury will not permit
of it's being purchased by means from
this source. Contributions to a fund
are earnestly solicited. They may be
sent to Mrs. w. H. Elliott, Mrs. G. v.
Snedeker or to Solomons drug store.
The stereopticon is most valuable
adjunct to the apparatus used by the
Y. M. C. A. in its weekly entertain
ments. Hitherto the association has
been able to borrow one. but secur-
ing 1t under these circumstances is
often difficult, and rather uncertain,
hence the effort to secure one perma-
nently. AS the public has always been
admitted without charge to these en-
tertainments, the ladies have the less
hesitancy in asking for aid in their
project. It is hoped to secure the APP
paratus in time for use in the New
Years entertainment.

ARE YOU SICK?

If so, where?
Headache
Dry, hacking cough?
Foul tongue?
Loss of appetite?
Lack of energy
Pain in stomach?
Bowels?
General weakness?
These are but a few of the signs of
indigestion.
Some others are: Wind in the stom-
ach or bowels; constipation or diar-
rhoea pale complexion; spots before
the eyes; dizziness; loss of flesh; irri-
liability: sleeplessness; nervousness.
All these symptoms will plague and
torment you, and will never perma-
nently leave you, once you suffer
from them: only are sure, in time
to get worse, il not treated by the
best known scientific method of cure
-Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
These curative tablets are composed
of ingredients which modern knowl-
edge of the true inward processes of
digestion approve of, as forming the
best, safest, surest and most scientific
combination of medicinal drugs, that
can be used to relieve all the condi-
tons of ill-health brought on by this
much dreaded disorder.
A disease so 'protean" or change
able in its manifestations, assuming
so many forms, characterized by so
many different symptoms that, more
times than not, it is mistaken for
some other disease altogether, and
the poor patient may die, or at best
allow the seeds of permanent chronic
sickness, to germinate and take root
in his system.
So it is a real danger we ask you
to avoid, when we say: In case of
doubt, take Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets.
Even if disordered digestion is not
the real cause of your sickness (Which
probably, though. it isl. yet your di-
gestion is nearly certain to be out Of
order and if allowed to remain so will
seriously complicate your sickness for
you.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, then.
will be sure to do you good, and will
not interfere with any other medi-
cine you may be taking.
They will help to make your food

other way, help you back to health by
helping your system to throw off dis

WHITE LABOR TAKING
THE PLACE OF C0L0RED.

Restaurants, Barber Shops and Shoe
Shine stands Changing Complexion.
The race labor problem is working
out its own solution in Savannah. In
novations have appeared within the
last year or SO which had not been
dreamed of. and while new to the SEN
tlment which has always countenanced
none but colored servants, they also
present a new feature of the much
discussed question as to the possibility
of the South's progress without the
aid of colored labor. In the minds of
many it is a forerunner of what
eventually may come-the general dis
placing of colored labor by white.
There are already four restaurants
in Savannah where white walters,
white cooks and even white kitchen
boys are used in preference to colored
They are so freely patronized in pref
erence to places where only colored
help is employed, and are able to make
lower prices, that the question has
arisen with other restaurant proprie-
tors, whether it is not more profitable
and more popular to employ white than
colored labor. One leading restaurant
man said yesterday that the only rea-
son he does not employ white help
is that he cannot get it. There are
few white walters to be had here.
Formerly the reason was advanced
that the public preferred colored serv-
ice, but this has been proven fall
lacy.
No longer than six months ago the
assertion was made that a barber shop
employing only white BARRIERS in Sa-
vannah would not pay. 1t had been
tried and failed on numerous occa-
sions. There are now four shops in
Savannah employing none but white
BARRIERS, and so profitable has the
change proven that business in those
shops which employ only col
ored labor has fallen off con-
siderably. Within the last two
weeks this innovation In bar
beers was made in one of the shops,
and the word of the proprietor is au-
thority for the statement that his
business has doubled.
Another occupation which has here
tofore been looked upon as only for
colored people, is shoe shining, that
employment in which one man accu-
mulated millions in New York before
he had reached the age of 80 years
Tony Aste. He was an italian who
went to New York with nothing but
grit and his backing box. He is now
one of the best known supporters of
the turf in New York, and is reputed to
be worth several millions of dollars.
Throughout the South the railroads
are giving preference to white train
men, the reason being that they are
more efficient and more dependable.
While this cannot always be advanced
in other occupations in which whites
are replacing blacks throughout the
| South. it is worthy of note that there
is some sentiment of circumstance
| which influences the changes.

A. C. L. SURGEONS TO
HOLD CONVENTION.
Will Listen to Papers and Eject Re-
organization on New Lines.

VIII Listen to Papers and Eject Re-
organization on New Lines.
The meeting for the formation of an
Association of Surgeons of the Atlantic
Coast Line Company will convene IN
the banquet hall OF the De Soto to-
morrow and will continue over Tues
day.
Last year at the meeting of the sur
geons of the old Plant System, held
in Jacksonville, resolution was adopt
ed broadening the membership of the
association, taking in all surgeons north
and south of Savannah of the Atlantic
Coast Line system. Consequently this
meeting will witness the complete re-
organization of the association.
An attendance of seventy-five or 100
surgeons from points in South Carolina,
Georgia, Florida. Alabama, Virginia
and North Carolina, is counted upon.
The Georgia Medical Society has ex-
tended an invitation to the visiting
members of the profession to attend its
regular meeting set for Tuesday night.
and to join in the work of the even
ing. Following the session will be u
smoker in honor of the surgeons.
The Savannah physicians meet In the
De Soto lunch room, while the sessions
of the Atlantic Coast Line surgeons
hold their meetings in the hotel BAN
quet room.
All medical men in the city are in
vited to attend the meetings OF the
railway association. This invitation is
cordial one, and it is thought many
will take advantage of it. as the papers
to be read are worthy of the time neces-
sary to attend.
Perhaps the most eminent delegate
to the convention will be DR.. G. q.
Thomas, of Wilmington, chief surgeon.
DR.. Thomas has a nation wide reputa-
tton as a surgeon. He will call the
convention to order. after which Alder
man Frank M. oliver will deliver an
address of welcome.

NEGRO WAS SET FREE
ON SECOND TRIAL

G.. Milton. the negro who has been
in Jail for the last eight months I'M
der lunacy charge, was, yesterday
given a second trial and adjudged to
be sane.
The first trial was held eight months
ago and Milton was adjudged a luna
tic. At that time the asylum was too
crowded to receive him and he was
kept in jail here. Recently he petit
toned Judge McAlpin for another trial,
on the grounds that his mental con-
dition was now normal.
