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

The mention OF sulphur will re-
call to many of us the early days
when our mothers and grandmothers
gave us our daily dose of sulphur and
molasses every spring and fall.
It was the universal spring and fall
'blood purifier tonic and cure-all
and mind you, this fashioned rem
edy 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-
centr2ted form, so that a single grain
is far more effective than table
spoonful of the crude sulphur.
Ia recent years, research and ex-
pertinent have proven that the best

Paris, KY, Dec. 26.-Col. John G.
Craddock, the veteran editor of the
Paris Kentuckian-C Citizen, died,
after short illness, at 4:3O o'clock
Saturday afternoon at St. Joseph's
Hospital in Lexington.
About two weeks ago he slipped
and fell on the pavement, hurting
himself, and afterward contracted
pneumonia.
Col. Craddock was born August %,
1925, being the son of Richard c.
CraddOck, who moved to this section
from Virginia. He was the Nestor
of the Kentucky press. At the time
of his death he was member of the
National Press Association and pres
ident of the National Mexican Vet
Grams Association. He received his
education at Lexington, where he
studied medicine, but suddenly quit
his studies in 1916 to enlist in the
Mexican War, in the Second regi-
ment, Kentucky infantry, under Col.
Simms. In 1852 he studied law, but
soon engaged in newspaper work,
his first work being on the the Ken
lucky Flag, established here in 1916.
The Paris True Kentuckian was
established by joint stock com
pany in 1866, with Col. Craddock as
editor and publisher. The paper be
ing Democratic in politics, it receiv-

late years succeeding the founding
of this paper were those in which

the pesthouse and all those who
were exposed isolated, but this did
not seem to put a stop to the spread
of the disease. From time to time
new cases would break out, and they
would be taken to the pesthOuse,
Owing to so many many people iv-

the prison, the city authorities of
Frankfort few days ago became
alarmed and took the State officials
to task about the way affairs were

will be consulted, and whatever steps
