WHAT SULPHUR DOES.
For the Human Body I'm Health and
Disease.

The mention of sulphur will recall
to many of US the early days when
our mothers and grand-mothers gave
us our daily dose of sulphur and mo-
lasses every spring and fall.
Tt was the universal spring and fall
"blood purifier tonic and cure-all,
and mind you, this old fashioned rem
edy was not without merit.
The idea was good, but the remedy
was crude and unpalatable, and q
large quantity had to be taken to get
any effect.
Nowadays we get all the beneficial
effects of sulphur in palatable. con-
centrated form, so that a single grain
is far more effective than a table,
spoonful of the crude sulphur.
In recent years research and ex-
pertinent have proven that the best
sulphur for medicinal use is that OBJ

the name of Stuarts Calcium Waters.
They are small chocolate coated pei
lets and contain the active medicinal
principle of sulphur in a highly con-
centrated. effective form.
Few people are aware of the value
Of this form of sulphur in restoring
and maintaining bodily vigor ana
health; sulphur acts directly on the
liver, and excretory organs and puri-
1ies aud enricheS the blood by the
prompt elimination of waste material.
Our grandmothers knew this when
they doscd us with sulphur and mo-

crudity and imnurity of ordinary flow
ers OF sulphur were often worse than
the disease, and cannot compare with
the modern. concentrated prepare tons
of sulphur, of which StuartS Calcium
Waters is undoubtedly the best and
most widely used.
They are the natural antidote for
liver and kidney troubles and cure

way that often surprises patient and
physician alike.

LEADING THE pouRLE LiFE

The Hon. Auguste Avenengo, mayor
of Montvale, N. j., politician and man
OF affairs from 6 p. m. to 7 a. m., has
been discovered so far as the rest of
his time is concerned. He is waiter
in a down town restaurant in New
York, and is Familiarity known as Gus"
by the men who take their food at his
hands and who tip him out of all pro-
portion to the service rendered.
The curious one who traced Mayor
Avenengo to his lair-or his restaurant
has haply made a discovery which
may be regarded as important, in that
it explains, on the theory of the domi-
waiter who serves badly a bad meal
may compel the feeding animal to tip
him. The tip is rarely compensation
for. services rendered 1t is generally
tribute from the downtrodden worm
wriggling through the mire of custom
offered in an attempt to propitiate an
enemy who may talk about the feeder
| unless he is generous.
Mayor Avenengo appears to have
thriven by his tips. For years he has
stared with reproachful eye into the
faces of men engaged in feeding them
selves. With napkin on arm he has
gone about the business Of ministering
to the wants of despised ones who rep
resented votes and tips to him. Every
evening he has carried over into Jer-
sey some portion of the unearned in
crement that is put into circulation in
Wall street. The meekness that was a
| cloak to hide his capacity for separat-
ing the worm from his money was shed
when he stepped on Jersey soil. In
Montvale he bullied the chief of police
regulated the saloons, vetoed council
ordinances and ran the machine at the
| polls.
The career of Avenengo suggests a
further investigation of the private life
| Of walters. Who knows but the man
who serves you your chop makes the
slate for which you vote on election
day? Who shall say that the person
to whom you furtively slip quarter in
| the hope that he will let you down easy
when he discusses you with the other
disguised statesmen at the next table
is not a capitalist between meals? The
| Avenengo affair is likely to cause
much speculation. OF course there is
no hope of escape from the necessity
for tipping. but some investigation OF
the private life of the waiter might re-
suit in discoveries which VIII tend to.

THE MUSIC CURE

1t has long been known that music
has charms to soothe the savage
breast, but that it could be utilized to
cure the ailing savage as well is some
what new.
But such is the claim made by no
less an organization than the National
Society Of Musical Therapeutics of
New York at recent meeting at which
learned papers on this topic were read
to interested auditors. Music, it was
declared by one of the speakers,
is a potent factor in the healing art
and can be variously applied either as
a sedative or stimuIant.
We have had no end of discoveries
in the lines of cure during the last
decade; mind cure, color cure, cold
water cure, science cure, but perhaps
not one of them has the same attraction
as this latest discovery. Doctors bills
will be reduced to minimum, and the
druggist wiped off the face of the
earth. The piano will take the place of
the latter, the music teacher of the
doctor, and a full orchestra replace the
college of surgeons and physicians. In
stead of a pill we will be given a SYM
phony.
The possibilities of the music cure
are limit1ess. When husband is facing
the "cold gray dawn of the morning
after" and needs a bracer, it will no
longer be necessary for him to seek
the corner chemist, or the seductive
saloon. Wife will sit down to the
piano, play some inspiring tune and
the thing will be done. Fast dance
music is recommended as a stimulant,
and slumber song for tapering off
and letting the patient down easily.
These theories were given practical
test at the meeting mentioned, as two
dear old ladies in the front row slum-
bered straight through the programme,
which was largely musical, thereby
giving incontrovertfble testimony to
the sedative influence of sweet sounds.
Another startling piece of evidence was
that a tired commercial traveller had
been rested by the playing of several
stirring marches. Persons who always
ssiumber through concerts may do so

IN OLD MISSOURI

1t is the Republicans who are hav-
ing high old time now down in Mis-
souri,. That state has enjoyed for
some years past an unenviabie noto-i
riety for its performances in the circle
of the corrupt. We do not think that
conditions in Missouri are particle
worse than in New York, and probably
they are not nearly as bad as in Penn
sylvania. But it happened that there
arose in Missouri a champion of COM
mon honesty and common decency in
the person of Joseph w Folk. He got
after the scoundrels, and by his in
vestigations and convictions opened
ness which elsewhere is carefully
CLOSED over.
In the bad old times when the
boodlers were wholly without check,
the Republican minority and the DEM
ocratic majority lay down in amity
together with their hands clasped
around the bag of coin. A Republican
carnival of fraud reigned unhindered
In ST. Louis, while certain Democratic
politicians were handling affairs of
state for their own good. Now a
change has come over the situation.
Folk, the reformer, is governor, and
nothing crooked will get past him.
The Republicans to their own intense
surprise, carried the state and have
to elect a United States senator. The
announcement of their nominee was
promptly met with charges that he
was implicated in recent unsavory po-
litical transactions.
1t IS going to need an all-around
housekeeping to make things safe
and sane down in Missouri. 1t is go
ing to need harmonious co-operation
between the honest men of both par
| ties to clean out the boodling gang
that has so long used each of them
| more or less freely for it's nefarious
ends. We have seen no evidence in the
past of such virtue among Missouri
Republicans as fits them for the part
they now have to play. Missouri De-
mocracy, at least, has to its credit the
production of Folk and his elevation to
the highest office in the state. The
country will watch the tussle of the
two parties with the evil influences
now so rampant everywhere with a
| good deal Of interest.
