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 molasses ev-
cry 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 a
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 single grain
is far more effective than tablespoon
full of the crude sulphur.
In recent years, research and expert
ment have proven that the best sui
phur for medicinal use is that obtained
from Calcium Calcium Sulphide) and
sold in drug stores under the name of
Stuart's Calcium Waters. They are
small chocolate coated pellets and con-
tain the active medicinal principle of
sulphur in highly concentrated, ef-
fective 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 purifies
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 cannot 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 for liver
and kidney troubles and cure constin-
alton and purify the blood in a wav
that often surprises patient and physj-
clan alike.
2 DIR. r. M. Wilkins while experiment.
ing with sulphur remedies soon found
that the sulphur from Calcium was
superior to any other form. He saws.
For liver, kidney and blood troubles
especially when resulting from constIp-
alton or malaria, have been surprised
at the results obtained from Stulrt's
Calcium Waters. In patients suffering
from boils and pimples and even deep
seated carbuncles, 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, vet I
know Of nothing so safe and reliable
for constipation, liver and kidney
troubles and especially in all forms OF
skin disease 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 palata-
BILE and effective preparation.

STRIKE SITUATION IN
RUSSIA Is SERIOUS
MEN SUCCEED IN TYING UP
MORE TRAINS
Traffic on Branch Line From NIzhnl-
Novgorod Is Observation-Disclosures
Are Purely Political and Socialists
Say This Is Only a Curtain Raiser
BY Associated Press.


ST. PETERSBURG, Oct 21.-The
strike Of railroad employees assumed a
serious aspect today when, with the
three great trunk lines out of Moscow
completely tied up and the other Mos
COW roads embarrassed, trains were
stopped on the branch road from Nizh-
nj Novgorod. The Pan-Russian union
of railroad employees has issued a call
for a general strike on all the rail-
roads of Russia. The extent to which
the call will be obeyed remains to be
seen, as the union is OF recent origin
and It's strength is an unknown guam
tity but up to midnight no additional
strikes have been reported. A meeting
Of st. Petersburg railway men was
still in session at a late hour tonight
and had not reached a decision TO
strike.
The demands of the men are purely
political and therefore 1t is said the
strike will last only long enough to
serve the purpose of a demonstration.
The socialist leaders claim it is called
only to test their strength and Is a
curtain-raiser to a thorough and COM
plete tie-up of the Russian railroad
systems in January as an object lesson
to the government and Douma and
that it will be called off as soon as
it is seen that the strike machinery is
working perfectly. The political ma
ture of the movement is shown in the
call of the national union for a general
strike, which makes no mention of
economic demands and declares the
workmen are fighting for elementary
human rights of freedom of speech and
of the press and a representative gov
ernment on the basis Of universal suf-
frage, and that these are obtainable
only by a strike.
The government is prepared in case
the strike affects the Nicolai railway
into Berlin or Vienna to order the
mobilization of the reserve battalions
of the army in order to keep com
munications open between Moscow and
st. Petersburg and abroad, but It
hopes the strike enthusiasm of the
workmen will exhaust itself in a few

ABSoRBS BULLOCK COMPANY
AIlls-ChaImer Buys the Electric Con-
Germ Which Recently Increased
Its Stock
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Oct. 21.-A dispatch to
the Tribune from Milwaukee says
The Bullock Electrical company of
Cincinnati has been absorbed by the
Allis-Chalmers company. The General
Electric company has purchased ma
jority of the Allis-Chalmers common
stock, according to reports of E. G..
Converse of Pittsburg, as result Of a
deal which has been made by the di-
rectors of the three companies.
A few weeks ago the capital stock
of the Bullock company was increased
to $3,O00,000 to enlarge the plants. The
Allis- Chalmers company, a rival of the
General Electric company, leased the
Bullock company in March, 1904. The
price at which the General Electric
obtained control it is reported, was
$25 a share for the common stock.
President Whiteside of the Allis-
Chalmers company last night said:
You probably have heard that the
Bullock company increased it's capi-
tall he said. so far as the General
Electric story is concerned. it is mere
ly stock brokers' rumor. 1 do not
care to talk about the affair"

Mortal Wound-Despondency
the Cause

Miss Grace Palmer shot herself in the

have been the motive. Her injuries are

One Of the most important processes
used for waterproofng dress materials
is on the lines Of the old alumina proc
ess. In this case the factor used is
rosin dissolved In large bulk of Pc
troleum spirit. The fabrics to be proof
ed are passed through bath of this
solution and dried to drive off the
solvent Following this. the goods are
treated by pressing with hot polished
metal rollers. This last process melts
the small quantity Of rosin which is
deposited on the cloth and leaves each
single fiber with an exceedingly thin
film of rosin on 1t.
