sale will be exactly as represented and
splendid bargain in every sense of

Many Ailments. One Cause

I have called these the inside nerves for
simplicity's sake Their usual name is the
sympathetic nerves" Physicians call them
by this name because they are so closely al
lied-because each Is In such close SYM
pathy with the others. The result Is that
when one branch is allowed to become inn
paired, the others weaken. That is why
one kind Of sickness leads into another.
That is why cases become complicated"
For this delicate nerve Is the most sensitive
part of the human system.
Does this not explain to you some OF the
uncertainties OF medlcine-is it not a good
reason to your mind why. other kinds Of
treatment may have failed?
Don't you see that THIS is NEW in nfedl-
cine2 That this is NOT the mere PATCH
work Of n stimulant-the mere soothing OF
narcotic7 Don't you that Il goes
right to the root Of the trouble and eradl-
Gates the cause2

statement OF mine--I do not ask you to be-

Corn shredders Deadly

MADISON, Wis, Jan. Al am con-
vinced more men are MANNED for life
by corn shredders in this section of the
country each year than are hurt to the
same degree by railroads"
This was the astonishing statement
made today by DR.. Charles Mccarthy
legislative librarian of the state of Wis
consin, Mr.. Mccarthy and A Dean
Henry are preparing statistics
to show the great need for
regulation of the use of corn shredders
Prof. Richard T. Ely, of the university
is interested in the subject and re-
CARDS the question as one of great i'm
portance.
"I believe that IL the use Of corn
shredders was prohibited altogether the
loss to the community in an economical
way would be far less than the loss of
limbs of men who are manned and dis
abled for life by them," said Dean
Henry.

Tipping a Misdemeanor

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Jan. IA
The itching palm of all walters and
porters in the state of Missouri will
have to go uncrossed If the bill intro
duced today in the house of Tubbs, of
Gasconade becomes a law.
The measure makes it misdemean-
or for any proprietor to allow any of
his employees in restaurants or hotels
to accept "tips" and places penalty
on any infringements of the rule.
The bill is already gathering great
following among both the members
from the country and the city, but the
porters around the hotel where the
measure was being discussed were lob
bying against its passage.
"It has become such a thorough GUS
tom that unless patron gives tip
he is looked upon with disdain," said
Mr. Tubbs, speaking of the bill to-
night.

ceived information from a reliable per-
son in Alcazar that the town was
besieged by tribesmen from the noun
tains who were demanding large sums
of money from the authorities and
from wealthy Jewish inhabitants un-
der penalty Of sackins the place.
The town was almost without pro-
lection, yet Il the sheik who conveyed
the information to Mr.. Philip had
managed to induce the authorities to
place guard around the premises
where some American missionaries
were stopping. Three of these were
residents in Alcazar and four were on
their way to Fez. Mr.. Philip immedi-
htely sent word to the latter to remain
In Alcazar and not venture to proceed
to Fez. The tribesmen were making
threats against a British subject and
also against the French vice consul in
Aicazar, but were finally induced to
raise the siege upon the payment to
them of $500 by the town authorities.
AT last reports the place was tranquil.

Special to The Herald.

Special TO The Herald.
ST. LOUIS, Jan. 14.-Great Is the fu-
ture of the women shoppers. A new
champion to their cause has appeared
i'm the Missouri General Assembly. Be
fore the echoes of the roll call of the
second days session had died out bill
was introduced which will be received
with joy among the devotees of the
handbag and bargain counter.
William Godfrey, of st. Louis, is the
idol who has taken grave chances of
bringing shoppers lobby to Jefferson
City. He has introduced a bill giving
four hours on q street-car transfer. He
would also compel all street-ca COM
panies in the state to give transfers on
all its connecting lines and branches.
Another ST. Louis member has been
approached to draft bill requiring
the street-car companies to redeem
transfers at any time or place, even
though they be week old.
However the Godfrey measure will
remove much of the worry and cause
fewer statements regarding the time
that the patron has been waiting on
the corner for the first car.

A Bond of Sympathy

The inside nerve system IL plainly the
most important system In the human body.
Our life rests on the action OF the vital
organs. While they work we live. When
they stop we die. While they perform their
duties properly we are we'll when they per-
form their duties poorly we are Ill., And the
vital organs, each and every one, depend
upon the inside nerve system, for II not only
regulates them-it operates and controls
them
The work OF the inside nerves Is not only
the most important--it is the most labori.
Gus. For our other nerves are exerted only
at VIII. We think and talk and exercise
only as we feel inclined, and when we are
tired we rest. But the stomach the heart,
the liver. the kidneys. must constantly and
continuously-day and night-fresh or tired
perform their necessary duties We have no
way Of knowing even that they are tired
or at fault save the weakening of the organs
they supply.
But this strong bond of sympathy has
useful purpose. For Il shows us clearly that
all are branches OF one great system-that
II we make the system strong we strengthen
every branch. This is why so many all
ments can be cured by one form OF treat
ment. For almost all sickness is nerve sick
ness-inside nerve sickness and other kinds
Of sickness such purely organic derange-
ment, are frequently due to lack of proper
inside nerve treatment.

Inside Nerves

Only one out Of every % has perfect
health. OF the % sick ones. some are bed
ridden, some are half sick. and some are
only dull and llstless. But most of the
sickness comes from a common cause. The
nerves are weak. Not the nerves you ordln-
artiy think about-not the nerves that
govern your movements and your
thoughts.
But the nerves that, ungulded and un-
known, night and day keep your heart in
motion-control your digestive apparatus
regulate your liver-operate your kid
neys.
These are the nerves that wear out and
break down.
II does no good to treat the ailng organ
the irregular heart--the dlsordered liver
the rebellious stomach--the deranged kid
neys. They are not to blame. But
go back to the nerves that control
them. There you Will find the seat OF the
trouble
There is nothing new about this-nothing
any physician would dispute But It re-
malned for DIR. Shoop to apply this
knowledge-to put 1t to practical use. DR..
Shoops Restorative is the result of a quarter
century of endeavor along this very line.
It does not dose the organ or deaden the
pain--but it does go at once to the nerve

an order that the district attorney give
them statement of the evidence taken

In, and when it was opened he tried
tc get into the back room where Adolph

A heated argument with the district
attorney ensued over the request for
the order, and became so violent that

judge said he was inclined to grant
the request if he could find any law
warranting it. A decision on the de-

KANSAS WOMAN
AUTHOR Of BILL
SENATOR DUMONT DENIES
RESPONSIBILITY
Proposition to Make Marriage Civil
Contract Originates With the
Fair Constituents of
Statesman

| Topeka, Kas., Jan. Ex-senator
Frederick Dumont Smith says an or
ganization of women in his district is
responsible for the bill making mar
riage civil contract, limited to ten
years, with the privilege of renewal if
the parties like the condition, which he
will introduce in the Kansas legisla-
ture this winter.
Senator Smith says he is not at lib
erty to divulge the names of the au-
thors of the bill. Asked if he would
defend the bill on the floor of the sem
ate, he said he would not.
II would not dare" he said. The
senator is married man.
Senator Smith said the women who
prepared the bill are his constituents
and he would submit the measure to
the senate at their request. He says
that, while this or a similar bill might
remedy the growing evil of unwise
marriages, there is no sentiment in
Kansas for that kind of legislation.
The measure in full, as prepared by
the women is as follows:
Section 1. All marriages celebrated
in the state of Kansas from and after
the taking effect of this act shall be
deemed and held to be civil contracts
for a period of ten years, subject to
all the laws of this state now in force
raIo t;nor 70 d;uorca apd YOatripoopv
Sec. g. At any time within three
months before the expiration of said
contractural period, parties to such
marriage contract may by filing a joint
declaration in writing, duly sworn to
before some officer authorized to adj
probate judge of the county where
such parties reside, renew said mar
riage contract for a further period of
ten years without further ceremony.
Sec. 8. The probate judge shall care
fully keep and record in book to be
provided for that purpose all such con-
tract of renewal of the marriage re-
lation, and such record shall be deemed
and taken in any action, proceeding or
matter wherein such marriage relation
shall be called in question as prima
facie evidence of the existence of such
relation.
Sec 4. Nothing herein shall be con-
strued as affecting or repeating any
of the laws of this state now in force,
with regard to marriage license or the
celebration of the marriage rite.
Sec. s. In case the parties to a mar
rage contract shall fail or refuse to
renew the same. all property accumu-
lated by such parties during the mar
riage relation shall be divided equally
between the parties thereto, and the
wife may have alimony out of her hus-
bands estate in the same manner and
by the same proceedings as are now
provided by law. The courts of
county wherein the parties, or either
of them, now having jurisdiction of
marriage and divorce and the care and
custody Of the children, may make such
orders as are proper for the care and
custody of minor children by such
marriage. upon the application of
either OF the parties therein

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
2 mothers and grandmothers 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 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 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 exper-
iment 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 arc
small chocolate coated pellets and con-
tain the active medicinal principle of
sulphur in highly concentrated, eff
feetive 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 en-
riches the blood by the prompt elimi-
nation 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 compare
with the Dlodern concentrated prepara-
tions of sulphur of which Stuart's
Calcium Waters is undoubtedly the
best and most widely used.
They are the natural antidote for liv-
er and kidney troubles and cure con-
stipation and purify the blood in a way
that often surprises patient and ply
slcian alike.
DIR. 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:
For oliver, kidney and blood trou-
bles especially when resulting from
constipation or malaria, have been
surprised at the results obtained from
Stuart's Calcium Waters. In patients
suffering from boils and pimples and
even deep-seated carbuncles, / have
repeatedly seen them, dry up and disap-
pear In four or five days, leaving the
skin clear and smooth. Although
Stuart's Calcium Waters is a proprie-
tary article. and sold by druggists,
and for that reason tabooed by many
physicians, yet know of nothing 80
safe and reliable for constipation. liver
and kidney troubles and especially in
all forms Of skin disease as this rem
edy."
At any rate people who are tired Of
pills, cathartics and so-called blood
purifiers" will find i'm Stuart's Cali
eium Waters a far safer, more pala-
