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 rem
edy was not without merit.
The idea was good, but the remedy
was crude and unpalatable. and
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 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 medical 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
lasses every spring and fall, but the
crudity and impurity of ordinary
flowers of sulphur were often worse
than the disease and cannot compare
with the modern concentrated prep
arations of sulphur, of which Stuart s
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.
DR.. r. M. wilkins, While expert
menting with sulphur remedies soon
found that the sulphur from Calciu Il
was superior to any other form. He
says: For liver. kidney and blood
troubles, especially when resulting
from constipation or maleria, / have
been surprised at the results obtained
from Stuart's Calcium Waters. In
patients suffering from bois and
pimples and even deep seated car
buncles, l have repeatedly seen them
dry up and disappear in four or five
days, leaving the skin clear and
smooth. Although Stuart's Calcium
Waters is proprietary article and
sold by druggists and for that reason
tabooed by many physicians, yet j
know OF nothing so safe and reliable
for constipation, 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 Stuart's Cal.
cium Waters a far safer, more pala.

SHERMAN INSTITUTE is
THREATENED BY FIRE
Blaze Extinsuished Before Apprecia-
BILE Damage Is Done-ProbabIy of
lncendiary Origin

Special to The Herald.
RIVERSIDE, Feb. 1S-Early this
morning a fire was discovered smoul-
dering under a heap of shavings and
debris on the upper floor of one Of the
new buildings at Sherman institute.
Luckily, the fire was discovered before
it had made much headway and was
promptly extinguished. From the po-
sition of the heap of shavings and the
location of the fire directly underneath,
it is thought that an incendiary was
at work, though the management of
the school has no suspicion of the
identity of the guilty party. The build
ing is one of the new ones which the
government is adding to the plant and
is only partly finished.
1t is rumored that a thorough inves-
tigation of the circumstances of
the death of Anthony Rockhll is about
to be begun. Some of the relatives.
learning that other relatives think
they had something to gain from the
death of the old man, have demanded
that their skirts be cleared and the
district attorney has been applied to
for an investigation. Rockhill was
the old man who was found murdered
in his shack on California avenue a
year ago. A Mexican who had been
chopping wood for the old man was
suspected but has never been found.

Sr eciaI 10 The Herald.

Special TO The Herald.
SAN BERNARDINO, Cal. Feb 1s.-
The Democratic city convention will be
held Thursday, March 2, for the nomi-
nation of a municipal ticket to be
voted on at the city election I'm April.
The caucusses will be held the Mon
day before, and the primaries on Tues
day. Just what action the convention
will take as to the naming of n ticket
10 not yet known. 1t is possible the
non-partisan candidate for mayor may
be endorsed, though it is quite prob
able that straight party ticket will
be named.
The prospect now is that the Han
ford wing of the Republican party,
which attempted to organize a COM
mittee after the meeting Of the regular
committee Thursday night, will have
difficulty in getting onto the ballot as
the regular Republican ticket. The
leaders of the regular committee will
probably take the matter into the court
if necessary, though 1t is not believed
that will be necessary.
Chairman ]. Harold Barnum Of the
Republican committee will certify to
the city clerk that no ticket will be
placed in the field by the Republican
committee, and this, it is believed will
prevent the placing of the Hanford
ticket on the ballot as the regular.
Speaker Prescott recently introduced
a new county government bill that
materially raised the salaries Of sew
eral of the county officers, especially
the clerk, auditor, treasurer, district
attorney and superintendent of schools.
Word now comes that Senator Leeke
has also introduced a bill which leaves
most of the salaries where they are at
present. The various officers are given
deputies as provided by the Prescott
bill, instead of both increase and
deputy. The office of clerk of board
of supervisors is created instead of
giving the county clerk an additional
deputy.
Gathered Here and There
D. A. Spring of Cotton will at once
leave for Arizona to investigate the
reported death of his son, Gardiner H.
Spring, at or near Quartzite The be-
lief grows that he met death at the
hands of some of the questionable
characters that infest that section of
the country, and thorough investiga-
tion will be made.
The dead body of a prospector or
some other person which was found
recently northeast of Dagggett, on the
desert near Death Valley, is to be
taken care of under the direction of
the coroner 1t is believed he died in
this county but there is absolutely
nothing by which the man can be iden-
tilted. When found by Walter Scott
several weeks, the flesh having nearly
all been eaten away by the coyotes.
A stranger, whose name is supposed
to be Thomas H. Lanborn, was found
dead in the Bradford hotel last even
ing. He is supposed to be from Yates
Center, Kas. He has lately been en-
ployed as a cook in a camp on the
desert line Of the Salt Lake road, hav-
ing arrived in the city but a couple of
days ago. His death was probably
due to pneumonia.

In an adjoining room tea and waters
were served by Mrs. witherill and her

which the tea was served was hand

Hatfield Is Not Married
In some way the rumor that Hat
field was married in this city yester-
day gained general credence but was
disputed today. Hatfield himself says
he is attending strictly to business. He
forecasts heavy rain mot shower)
tonight or tomorrow, and a heavier
storm about the first of March, with
still more to follow later.
The rainmaker says he Is enjoying
life fully in his cosy tent up back of
Esperanza, and declares that he never
felt better in his life. "As soon as the
eighteen inches of rain 1 guaranteed to
the Los Angeles merchants has been
realized" said Hatfield, land that will
very soon be done. L will be ready to
try my plan elsewhere in the country"
He further declares that a study Of
the recent storms will show that in
and about Pasadena the rains have
been much heavier than anywhere else,
and he is confident that the storms
have been brought by his chemicals.
Company ! Inspection
For the past ten days the Company
1 boys have been brushing up on the
manual and general tactics and so
were ready for the rigid inspection Civ

Thomas Wilhelm of Governor Pardee's
staff, assisted by Major j. H. Camp
bell of General Wankowski's staff, and
Lieutenant ]. Alexander of the adju-
tant generals office, made the inspec-
ton, and while the result Is not now
known, it is fully expected that Com
pany l of the Seventh infantry will
be given honorable mention" in the
colonefs report. Very nearly the full
strength of the local company turned
out for the inspection, and in their un-
iforms looked we'll and soldier like.

being given to other companies and

state.
There is a third consideration in
seeking a hOme-a consideration, too
which is held in higher esteem in
this country than any other of the
wOrld-and that is the one of edu-
cational facilities.
Paris can boast of as fine schools
as any city of its size in the state,
here is located the Bourbon Female
College, a school that has sent forth
more intellectual, cultured young
ladies than any other college in the
State, besides the public schools,
while the Kentucky State College
Kentucky University at Lexington
can be reached from here by the in
terurban cars every hour.
Surely in seeking a location in
which to rear a family, no father or
mother can fail to ignore what is
here so richly proffered in way of ed
rcational opportunity. 1t is a blest
thing t. extend our children the
privileges of a higher education;
but it is more blest still to be 50

of the facilities without depriving

entrusted in their management.
Every proposition that has been
brought before this Council has re-
ceived consideration according to its
merits, and when a vote was cast
Upon it by any member it was with
full knowledge of the most minute
details of the proposition placed be-
fore them. During the entire term
in which the present board has been
in control it can be truthfullv said
that no matter brought before them,
which was for the good and better
ment Of our city, did not receive
their hearty endorsement and sup
port, nor have they given their en-
dOrSement to any proposition that
would be detrimental to the health
fullness, peace or prOgressiveness of
the city.

eight years, during which time rapid

Nothing can bring compensation
to community for the absence of
those conditions from which home
life takes its source.
Paris is peculiarly a city of
Homes s-HOmes varing in cost from
$1,000 to $4,000. and more from
the modest cottage of the labOrer to
the palatial Home of the million
aire. Bright cheerful places of resi-
dences all located on shady avenues
everywhere and in every direction,
making pleasing presentations to
themselves. From east to west
from north to sOuth-spread all over
this broad area they are to be found.

In seeking a permanent abiding

SIR JOSHUA
The Famous Paioter Was the SOr
Of n DevOnshire Rector.


Sir Joshua Reynolds was born at
Plympton. four miles from Plymouth,
in D%evonshire, in 1923. His father, rec
tor of the grammar school, early train
his son to be an a%pothecary, but he dis
played such an inclination for drawing,
diligently copying the prints which fell
in his way, that the father yielded and
ent him to London as "A student Of art.
After two years he returned to Devon
shire and established himself as a por-
trait painter in Plymouth, where he
was taken up by Commodore Keppel.
who, being appointed to the Mediter-
ranea station, invited the young paint
er to accompany him in his ship, the
Centurion. ThHs he was able to visit
Rome, spending two years there in
very close study, especially of the
works of Raphael and Michael Angelo.
1t was while painting in the corridors
Of the Vatican that he contracted a
cold which brought on the deafness
that afterward afflicted him during the
rest of his life. Leaving Rome, he Wis
tied Parma. where he fell under Cor
reggiO's influence, then Florence and
Venice, in the latter city studying the
works Of the great colorists. On his
way home he stopped in Paris, making
acquaintance with the work of Ru-
bens. Arrived in London, he settled in
st. Martins lane, and painted a por-
trait Of his patron, Commodore then
Lord Keppel, which laid the foundation
Of his fortune. Later he established
himself in Leicester square. where his
house, A, may still be seen. st. Mich
