THE MISSISSIPPI.

As n ribbon flung out from gener-
GUS hand,
Till t loops in its leagues the fair
heart Of the land.
So the river--the Father of Waters,
is flung
From the place where the pines by the .
north wind are swung;
From the stiffness and peace of the
whispering lakes
To the shore where the sea IN us
majesty breaks.
Ana ii murmurs for miles or 1t leaps
In It's strength
Or il coils as lariat coils IN It's
length;
And ii stops for a space with its
eddying whirls
While its form spins about as gar
land Of pearls
And il sings in the sun and IT dreams
in the moon
And It races in JOY from the falls to
lagoon.
II has m'rrored the banners OF Grim
son and gold
That were borne by adventures
dauntlessly bold,
Who were winning new realms ana
we're finding new ways
Throueh the green of the forest and
gray OF the haze
That was spread ON the prairie and
wfeathed on the hill
Waen the courage Of Spain was at
one with its will.
II has laughed with the lightly
wrought lilies Of France
AZ the dag kept the time to the lit
Of the dance,
When the noble man came anu the
beautiful maids
Sang The ballads of old in the hush
Of tie glades,
And ii knows of the days that were
gentle and calm
When the lilies Of France nodded ov
or the palm.
II has run with red-not red o.
the dawn,
Bur the red flood of war IN the das'
that are gone.
When its bosom was swept ny TN
shot and the shell
Ana the smoke Of war was the vapq
of hell
That blew low on its surface an'
hid huls and spars
When the stars and stripes met u
stars and bars.

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

The mention of sulphur will recall
TO many OF as the early days when
our mothers and grand-mothers gave
US our daily dose of sIIlDhus 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 i'm a palatable,
concentrated form. so that a single
grain Is far more effective than n
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
plide) and sold in drug stores under
the name of Stuart's Calcium Waters
They are small chocolate coUted 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
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 COM
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 a
way that often surprises patient and
physician alike.
Dr. r. NJ. 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 nnalarit, / have
tanned from Stuart's Calcium Waters.
In patients suffering from boils and
pimples and even deep-seated car
buncles, j have repeatedly seen them
dry up and disappear in four or five
days, leaving the skin clear and
smooth. Although Stuarts Calcium
WATERS is Il proprietary article and
sold by druggists and for that reason
tabooed by many physicians, yet !
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, Stuarts Cal
cium Waters, a far safer more pala-
Ia BILE and effective preparation.
