What Sulphur Does
For the Human Body in Health and
Disease.

The mention OF sulphur will recall 10
many OF US the early days when our
mothers and grapdmothers gave US our
daily dose of sulphur and mOlasses every
spring and fall
IL was 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 unDalatable, and a large
quantity had to be taken TO get any
effect.
Nowadays we get all the beneficial eff
fcCts OF sulphur in a palatable, concen-
tIated form, so that single grain IS far
more effective than tablespoonful OF
the crude sulphur.
In recent years, research and expert
ment have proven that the best sulphur
for medicinal use is that obtained from
Calcium Calcium Sulphide) and solu IN
drug stores under the name Of Stuarts
Calcium Waters. They are small chOc0-
late coated pellets and contain the act

highly concentrated, effective form.

this form of sulphur in restoring and

the blood by the prompt elimination OF

dosed US with sulphur and molasses every

accidents Of Travel.
The Thumb-The different fingers are
far from having the same value with
reference to their functional utilization
Much tire most important is the thumb,
for without it prehension would be
very imperfect. The hand is no longer
pincers, but merely q claw, when de-
prived OF the thumb. 1t may be csti-
mated that the thumb represents fully
a third Of the total value of the hand.
The total loss of the thumb is estimated
by BrouardeI, secretary of the SCciete
le Medicine Legale as - to IS per cent
for the right hand and 10 to 10 per cent
for the left hand, except for workers
in art, when he estimates 40 to % for
the right and % to &C per cent for the
left hand. The Austrian schedule gives
Is to % per cent. In Germany, "a, IS
and up to 1913 per cent has been award
ed. On account OF the great diffeTr nee
resulting i'm our opinion from the use of
both hands. we prefer. in the profess
sions not requiring special hand skill,
80 per cent for the right and 20 per cent
for the left. The percentage is based
on 100 as the total industrial value Of
the hand previously to the accident. a
less of 80 per cent representing half Of
that value, and a loss of % per cent
ene-fourth. etc.
The Index Fineer-The total loss Of
the index finger causes an incapacity
estimated al 10 to Is Per cent in Aus
tria; l6 to 20 per cent in Germany; Is
TO % per cent by Thiersch; 20 per cent
for the right and Is per cent for the left
by the Italian courts; 10 per cent by the
French tribunals; 10 TO Is per cent for
the right and to Is per cent for the
left by Brouardel. except for workers
in art. These figures differ but little
from one another, and the figures from
10 to 20 per cent, according to the side,
may be adopted.
The Middle Finger-The total loss of
the middle finger is regarded by Cole
bieWski as often more prejudicial than
that of the index; this is an isolated
opinion; almost all the authorities as
cribe less importance to the middle fin
ger than TO the index. Yet d great loss
of force is observed in the hand when
the finger is amputated. The following
are estimates: The Austrian tariff. TO
10 per cent; Brouardel, 3 to Is per cent.
except for workers in art: Thiersch, 10
/ to 30 per cent; the Italian law, per
cent The figures to L per cent often
arc nearest the truth.
The annular (Tins) finger is the least
! important. Its total loss often does not
cause incapacity The Austrian tariff
assimilates this finger to the middle
one. Brouardel estimates the loss at
. 10 10 per cent: the Italian law, per
cent The French and German judicial
decisions are often in accord in refus-
ing from the loss as very slight.
The auricular 0ittle) finger may be
compared to the annular, except in the
professions in which it serves as a
point of support for the hand.

The riots Of the wharf labOrers con-

fired on the strikers several times, kill

The mob was very determined and re

who met the governor and secured an
assurance from him that an inquiry
would be made into their grievances
and redress afforded if possible. The
delegates advised the men 70 retire

dash is made for it. The seat Of the
fire is never looked for. The first thing
that comes handy is thrown AT it.
Not long ago a woman discovered
smoke rolling out of a closet. She
grabbed a bucket of water and opening
the closet door dashed il all over the
clothes inside. She repeated this a
dozen times, but the smoke still poured
out faster than ever. When the entire
house was filed with smoke and she
could hear the cracking of the flames
she ran out into the front yard and
yelled Fire AL the doors We're left
open and the draught famed the
smouldering wood into flames. Some
of the neighbors sent in the alarm.
When the fire department arrived the
stairs were a mass of flames. The fire
was extinguished. but the damage was
$500. besides the clothes spoiled by the
smoke and water.
This particular fire was caused from
defective wiring and never was in the
closet but under the stairs, Had the
woman gone 10 the telephone and
called for the department the fire
would have done but little damage. 1t
took her at least three minutes to pack
the water into the closet. Then she
dashed from the house and threw open
all the doors and another two minutes
elapsed. During these five minutes she
saw no flames and the fire was still
smOuldering. In the same time the
firemen could have reached the place
and the smouldering flames would have
been eXtingIished without S. damage,
TO say nothing of 5000.
Chief Bywater cited another case
which took place about three weeks
ago at the Commercial club rooms. The
fire department was called after a tub

board was raised, and at last the fire
was located. 1t originated under the
range in the kitchen, forty-five feet
away from the place where the smoke
was discovered and where the water
was poured in. When the firemen I'M

dropped il. The joists were burned
almost through. and in few minutes
more the fire would have caused con-
siderable damage.
Another bad feature Fire Chief By
water speaks OF is the excited manner
in which some alarms are sent in. Last
week when the Progress block was on
fire someone called UP the fire station.
There's a fire here" said voice, in
jerks, over the phone. and the receiver
was slammed into its hanger again.
The firemen were unable to figure out
just where there" was. They waited
another minute and then g second
alarm came in which Strengthened mat

station. The fire was soon under con-

Chief ByWater says il ia the seconds
that count When the alarm il given
in quiet manner tie watclnman gets
il so much sooner. In many instances
the wrong street is given. The chief
tells of case which occurred NOT long
ago. An alarm came IN to the effect
that there was fire ar 129 South West
Temple. The department went to that
number as directed. but there was no
fire. They started back to the station
when an excited man came running
down the middle of the street and
hailed them. The fire was at 120 West
South Temple and caused considerable
damage before tie firemen arrived on
the scene.
Sidewalk fire chiefs" as they are
known to the firemen, are common
about fires in the business districts.
They generally take an active part in
crowding up 10 the front and giving
orders.

That's enough. The connection viii
be made with the fire department and
the alarm rung in from the telephone
switch. Then tell the fireman exactly
where the fire is and hang up the
phone. The next best thing-t do is to
wait for the department. 1t only takes
it minute or two even If it does seem
an hour. Close mp the doors and get
out of the house. This stops all the
draughts, and the worst the flames can
do is to shoulder. When the firemen
arrive they viii do their part. They
have all the apparatus needed and can
eXtinguish the blaze without half the
damage to the furniture or building
that you would inflict if you tried To
put out the fire yourself. These in
structions are simple but Fire Chief
William H. Bywater declares that if
they were followed closely fire dam
ages would be reduced greatly.
OF course, there are exceptions TO
these rules. In many cases when a cur

serious results are likely TO follow.
