THANKSGIVING.

This is the day when we are called on to be especially thankful for our bless ings. And how many there are to be thankful for! We might be living in Russia and afraid to move lest we be slaughtered. Instead, we are living in a land of peace and plenty, whose crops this year were worth about $6,0O0,OOO,OOO, whose per capita is more than it ever has been, whose business is so large and prosperous that it can hardly be done, whose life insurance is so safe that even the enormous stealing which has been going on cannot seriously hurt it, whose football managers are grow ing little more humane, whose cities are able to stand all the graft" they have been subject to, and whose people show signs of really waking up and casting out seven or more devils. Oh, yes, we are all right, so right that it behooves us not to forget that pride goeth before destruction and naughty spirit before a fall.
 Let us be soberly and sincerely thankful to-day, with the addition of as many harmless joys as we can get. Among the harmless joys which are especially recommended is remembering the sick and the poor, and doing some thing to make their Thanksgiving tol- erahle

GOOD YORK IN NEW ORLEANS.

GOOD YORK IN NEW ORLEANS.
 New Orleans has had another expe- rience with the yellow fever this year, but it hopes to have no more. Any how, 1t is going to do it's best to avoid having more. It is going to have great improvements in drainage and seWer- age. Until very recen ly such a thing as a cellar was unknown in New Orleans, and the bodies of the dead were generally put into brick vaults above the ground. The drainage of the city, therefore, was a surface drainage, and the gutters of the streets were filled with more or less dirty wa ter, as they were flushed four or flVs times during each twenty-four hours. In addition to this there were cisterns which held drinking water, and 1t was these cisterns which were the chief breeding places for mosquitoes. Now the new supply of drinking water will be taken from the Mississippi river With the new system of drainage which will be introduced cellars can and will be placed under buildings, and the city expects that its new water plant, which will cost $16,OOoOOo, in ad- dition to other Improvements will give New Orleans a great boom. The may or of the city estimates that inside of ten years the population will be half million.
 This will be good for New Orleans, and good for the rest of the South, which is in trouble when New Orleans

Bombay is proud and happy over it's slowing trade prospects. The new wet and dry docks at Bombay, of which the Prince of Wales laid the foundation stones the other day, will give vast impetus to the trade of port which already stands next to London and Liverpool in the British Empire. An- other help will be the new broad gauge railroad connecting with Delhi and the southern Punjab, which will divert a large proportion of the exports which now find their way to Karachi. The value of Bombay's sea-borne trade is now as large again as 1t was thirty years ago, and is growing so rapidly that existing facilities for shipping are already insufficient. The Port Trust has revenues of nearly $2,5OO,OOO annu- ally, so it can confidently embark on scheme which, with it's collateral im- provements, involves an expenditure of $6,OO0,000.
 The new wet docks will add an area of fifty acres with quay accommoda> ton of more than 12,000 feet. and win have a depth of water of 36 feet, enough to accommodate the largest ships. The dry dock will be 1000 feet long and 33 1-2 feet deep. The project provides for the extension of the main line of railroad along the wharf, so that mail steamers may land and en- bark passengers at the dock whatever the state of the tide. A number of warehouses and railroad sidings will also be constructed. The works will take six years to complete. The foun- dation stone of the existing Princes Dock was laid by King Edward when he was Prince of Wales.

For the last seven years, or since the Spanish war, officers of the War de- pertinent have been trying to induce congress to authorize a big military re- serve. The general staff has had this matter under consideration for long time and has now compiled draft of a bill authorizing the reserve, which will be forwarded to congress with the in- dorsement of Secretary Taft. The draft of the bill limits the provision to a re- serve force of 50,000 men, composed of former soldiers, who are to be rated according to demonstrated fitness as rifemen, with three grades of pay. It has been figured /out that the cost of the reserve force will be about per cent. of the cost of the present military establishment, and that, stating the case in different way, the reserves may be maintained for about seven years, at no greater expense than would attend raising, organization and equip nnent of a like force in time of war, with no mention of the attendant risks of such haphazard method. These sta- tistics have been put in convincing form in a memorandum submitted to the Secretary of War, and will be part of the department indorsement of the project. The measure is regarded by the military authorities as one of the most important which will come from the department to congress during the coming year. <

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 sulphur and molasses
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 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
Stuarts Calcium Waters. They are
small chocolate coated pellets and con-
tain the active medicinal principle of
sulphur in a highly concentrated, eff
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, anu e&cFelOTy organs ana puII-
fies and enriches the blood by the
prompt elimination of waste material.
Our grandmothers knew this when
they dosed us with sulphur and molas-
ses every spring and fall, but the crud-
ity and impurity of ordinary flowers of
sulphur We're often worse than the dis
ease, 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
constipation and purify the blood in a
way that often surprises patient and
physician alike.
DR.. r. M. Wilkins while experiment
ing with sulphur remedies soon found
that the sulphur from Calcium was SUI
perior to any other form. He says:
