on his hunting tours, and has been known to don shooting togs herself. She Is young and pretty and popular Lady CHrzon stands first in dignity. and is unquestionably the smartest woman in point of decorum, in eti- quette and hospitality. Her dinners are regal in splendor, and her recep- tions in London are as fine as the drawing rooms of the Queen. Her ladyship is gracious and beautiful, and is perhaps the smartest woman in the world next to the Queen. Her fad is for embroideries and laces, and her col lection will be worth a great deal of money to her children some day.
 The little Duchess of Roxburghe is too timid to be called smart She will never be a great social rage. She is a great favorite in her circle and is the idol of her husbands family, but she is not a smart woman. She is little- quiet in dress, though tasteful, and she Is inclined to remain at home whenever she can do so. She has been almost constantly at Floors Castle since her marriage.
 But who of all these women is the smartest? Who Is the prettiest and who Is the most popular?
 At a beauty-voting contest in Lon don the Duchess of Marlborough and the Countess of Essex received the same number of votes. They tied the contest. At this contest the voters were required to name the features which they most admired. They nam ed the eyebrows and forehead of the Duchess and the wonderful eyes of the Countess. The prize. which was a slender chain hung with diamonds, was divided between the two ladies. each receiving enough for a charm bracelet to be kept as a memento.
 The Countess of Essex once received prize for suitability. She was voted the sweetest woman in the parish, and there were many society women gath cred together there that day
 The Countess of Craven. Miss Brad Martin, received a unanimous vote of the Scotch contingency at fair in Edinburgh, held by some English wo- men. She was voted the kindest the most generous, the most gracious, and the best lady in the town of Edin- burgh."

smart set. It does not wish to go out side of its own.
 Who of all these beauties is the smartest woman in London? Who would win the prize in a popular vote?
 Lady Curzon is noted for her dignity. for her beauty, and for her generosity.
 Consuelo, Duchess of Marlborough, is known for her gowns, which are mag nificent; for her jewels, which are imported from every country in the world She is noted for her churchly zeal, which leads her to maintain O private chapel at Blenheim and to sub scribe liberally to the Church of Eng land.
 Lady Churchill is known for her as- pirations and her social success She Is very handsome woman. with a wonderful store of political ability. Her influence is sought all over Eng land. and. perhaps, when history is written, 1t Is she who will be called the smartest woman in England.
 The Countess of Craven Is noted for her loyalty to England. A Chicago girl, reared in the United States, she has adopted the country of her hus- band with wonderful zeal. She is the typical lady of the manor, and her Scottish shooting box is maintained as 1t would have been in feudal days. Arms are Kept; the servants are brought in daily to prayer and to hear the oath of allegiance to the King: a small town is maintained at the cost of the lady of the manor, and the townspeople feel as though she were more of their blood than a foreigner.
 When Lady Craven comes to London she takes a house in a smart part of the town, often in Charlton House ter race, and there eptertains in the most elegant manner possible. King Edward Is always her guest, and she Is fre- quently invited to Windsor.
 The Duchess of Marlborough is every whit as loyal. but she Is fond of dress. She goes in for elegance pure and sim pie. She pays $1.O00 for fan, and she thinks nothing at all of laying out $5.O00 for gown. A cloth of diamond dress might cost $SO.OO0 without caus- ing her to turn a hair. She is the smartest woman in London, if you may trust the modistes.
 The Duchess of Manchester is too fond of rural life to be considered very smart. She loves the life of the castle. She roams a great deal with his lord ship. She likes to get out with him

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.
 It 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 large quantity had to be taken to get any effect
 Nowadays we get all the benefits of sulphur in a palatable, concentrated form. so that single grain Is far more effective than a tablespoonful of the crude sulphur.
 In recent years, research and experi- ment have proven that the best sulphur for medicinal use Is that obtained from Calcium Calcium Sulphlde) 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 effec- tive 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 puEities and en- riches the blood by the prompt elimina- tion 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 CTS of sulphur were often worse than the disease, and cannot compare with the modern concentrated preparations of sulphur. of which Stuart's Calcium Wafer Is undoubtedly the best and most widely used.
 They are the natural antidote for liv- CT and kidney troubles and cure consti- patton and purify the blood in a way that often surprises patient and phy- sician alike.
 Dr. R. NJ. Wilkins while expert menting with sulphur remedies soon found that the sulphur from Calcium was superior to any other form. He says: For liver, kidney and blood troubles, especially when resulting from constipation or malaria, I have been surprised at the results obtained from Stuart's Calcium Waters. In pa tients suffering from boils and pimples and even deep-seated carbuncles. I 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 a proprie- tary article, and sold by druggists, and Tor that reason tabooed by many physl- clans yet I know of nothing so safe and reliable for constipation. liver and kidney troubles and especially in all forms of skin diseases as this rem edy."
 At any rate people who are tired of pills, cathartics and so-ca1led bleOd purifiers" will find fn stuart's Cal cium Waters a far safer. more palat- able and effective preAaration-

Nervous Flotsam.

Some of these worries are positively injurious to a woman, like the fear that she may not get married, which makes many girl appear so anxious that she loses whatever chance she may have If she hadn't appeared so eager and had, In fact, given the matter no thought both men and women would have liked her better.
 Then the married woman has the fear that her husband may die and leave her without money Result, she nags him all the time and overworks him into an early decline.
 Here are some rules for keeping young that many a worrying woman on the lookout for the first wrinkle would do well to study:
 Avoid fear In all its varied forms of expression; 1t Is the great enemy of the human race.
 Don't live to eat, but eat to live.
 Avoid extremes.
 Don't allow your birthday to worry you.
 Never look on the dark side; take the sunniest view possible.
 Live in the sunlight and the fresh air.
 Be chIld; live simply and naturally and avoid entanglements and compli- cations.
 Form the habit of throwing off all your worries before you go to sleep; it doesn't help you at all to lie awake and think about them.
 I think one of the best rules to ob- serve about worrying Is this:
 If the situation can be helped by doing a certain thing do 1t: if it cannot be helped don't think about 1t.
