Decisions Made by the Judges.

The following from the Tampa Tri-
bune shows the grades upon which
the Judges made the awards
1t is probably fair comparison OF
the different exhibits. 1t does not
follow that in all cases it is an abso-
lutely exact exhibit of the real con-
ditions of the various counties. That
is. some of the county exhibits may
not have been the best that could have
been made. various reasons may have
caused it to be weak in one or more
points.
The state fair of 1905 has been sue
cessfully brought to a close and Mar
ion county has been crowned as the
banner county of the state, with Hills
borough and Polk treading on her
heels as contenders for the laurels.
The decision of the judges may
come as something of a surprise to
some of the public, but a glance at
the table given below will explain how
the result was arrived at, it being
merely question of mathematics.
Furthermore as the judges for the diff
commissioners of all the counties rep
resented. the fair authorities being en-
tirely in the dark as to the decisions
until the seals were broken Wednes-
day evening at the meeting called for
that purpose, it is evident that
there can be no cause for complaint.
One important matter that may be
noted in connection with the decision
is that the counties were judged en-
tirely on the display of their actual
products. displays of bunting and 9th
er artistic effects not entering into
the calculation at all, which is en-
tirely as it should be-
Below will be found the rating of
the counties as marked by the judges

which they were scored for the grand

Friday, November 8, was a day
memorable in the life OF John J. Mar

ing as a man of only half his years.
He attributes his splendid health to
an outdoor life and temperate habits.

FORT WORTH AND DENVER
Change of Train Schedule For Winter
Is Announced.

Fort Worth, Tex, Oct. 11.-After
October a. under a readjustment of
the schedules for the winter season,
the Fort Worth and Denver City rail.
read trains Nos. and s will be op-
Grated between Fort Worth and Dal-
hart, Tex, only. instead of being car
ried through 20 Denver as heretofore.
Under these new conditions, these
trains will operate Pullman sleepers
between Fort Worth and Amarillo,
maintaining close connection with the
PecCs Valley railroad and other lines
connecting at that point and interme.
diate functions.
This service in being established
through to Dalhart is eighty miles
greater than has been afforded during
previous winter seasons, but is at pres
ent justified through the immense in
crease in the local as well as through
travel to the Dalhart-Amarillo coun
try by the influx of homeseekers and
prospectors.
1t is the policy of the Denver road
to facilitate the further growth of
that section of the country as much as
possible by giving the homeseekers
and prospectOrs an excellent train ser.
vice to Dalhart, which connects with
the Rock Island for points east and
west.
1t also gives Dalhart somewhat OF
a precedent as growing city. The
distance from Fort Worth to Amarillo
The terminus of this train in former
winter seasons, is 335 miles, and from
Fort Worth to Dalhart, the present
terminus of the run. is 416 miles.

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 srandme Tiers gave us
our daily dose of sulphur and molasses
every spring and fail.
: 1t was the universal spring and fall
blood purifier" tonic and cureall,
and mind YOU this cld-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 palatable, cen
centrated form, SO that a single grain
is far more effective than a table
spoonful of the crude sulphur.
In recent years, research and
experiment have proven that the best
sulphur for medicinal use is that ob-
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
lets and contain the active medicinal
principle of sulphur in 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 flow
ers Of sulphur were often worse than
the disease, and can not compare With
the modern concentrated preparations
of sulphur. of which Stuart's Calcium
Waters is undoubtedly the best and
most widely used.
They are the natural antidote fer
