Stocks and Bonds.

New York, Jan. 21.-There was a
good deal of commotion and some
confusion in the active two hours
trading Of today's stock market, but
the important net changes on the day
were confined to a few stocks. The
further buoyant rise in the Northwest
ern Changers was in connection with
another jump in Northern Securities
on the curb. That stock shot up to
u new high record at 1.49. and it was
accompanied as on its previous adj
vance by Interborough Rapid Fran
sit which made a sensational squirt
to SO. The latter movement awaken
ed little response on the Stock Ex
change, but the Northern securities
movement vas evidently responsible
for tn, rise in St Ta,l, Northwestern
and its subsidiary stock. A number
of dormant investment shares rose
many points on single transactions.
The general level of prices, however,
was maintained with difficulty and
gave way entirely on the appearance
Of q large unexpected loan eXpan-
sion in the bank statement.
This is far in excess of any prcEi-
Gus weeks increase in the loan item
during .he history of the clearing
house, and it was further noticeable
for the fact tl.at the increase in loans
has been made by the three or fo'lr
largest banks in the clearing house,
in which are usually concentrated the
great financial and syndicate opera
tons of the country's most powerful
financial groups. Nothing has
appeared on the surface to indicate
into what channel this enormous OK
tension of credits mas be turned.
The only other parallel occurred
during the spring Of 1901 pre6 edlnS
the great flotation era when for sew
eral weeks the clearing house banks
made increases in the neighborhood OF
$4,000. 900 in their loans. The Louis
vile purchase and the placing OF
large issues of short time railroad
notes caused last January's great loan
expansion. Today's stock market

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 grand-mothers gave
us our daily dose of sulphus and mo-
lasses every spring and fall.
1T as 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,
concentrated form, so that a single
grain is far more effective than a
tablespoonful of the crude sulphur.
In recent years research and eX-
pertinent have proven that the best
sulphur for medicinal use is that OBJ
tanned from Calcium Calcium Sui
phide) and sold in drug stores under
the name of Stuart's Calcium Waters.
They are small chocolate coated pei
let's 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 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
flowers of sulphur were often worse
than the disease, and cannot conn
pare with the modern concentrated
preparations of Sulphur, of which
Stuart's Calcium Waters is undoubt-
eddy the best and most widely used.
They are the natural antidote for
liver and kidney troubles and cure
constipation and purify the blood in
way that often surprises patient and
physician alike.
DR.. r. M. Wilkins while expert
menting 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 constipation or malarit, l have
been surprised at the results OBJ
tanned from Stuarts Calcium Waters.
In patients suffering from boils and
pimples and even deep-seated car
buncles, / have repeatedly seen them
dry up and disappear in four or five
DAYS, leaving the skin clear and
smooth. Although Stuarts Calcium
Waters is a proprietary article and
sold by druggists and for that reason
tabooed by many physicians, yet l
know of nothing so safe and reliable
for consultation, liver and kidney
troubles and especially in all forms OF
skin diseases as this remedy"
At any rate people who are tired
Of pills, cathartics and so-called blood
purifiers will find in Stuarts CAL
cium Waters, a far safer, more pala-
table and effective preparation.
