cording to Mr.. Won Schlegell, to the
ordinary mind, as exemplified in the
Commercial club, ii appears as though
another blow had been aimed at the
upbuilding of this city for the benefit
of Minneapolis
Mr.. Won Schlegell took especial pains
to explain that the contemplated
change would be productive of better
service for both cities. AS it is now.
according to that official, the south and
southeastern connections Of the COM
pany come through st. Paul to Mime
apolis, while the north and western con-
nections communicate with st. Paul
through Minneapolis. and all that Is
desired now is that all connections with
outside points should come to st. Paul
through Minneapolis.
Won SchlegeII Explains
Mr.. Won Schlegell repudiated the
suggestion that the toll board was to
be taken away from St. Paul as sort
of an educational force tending to re-
duce the activity of the council in its
efforts to cut by ordinance the tele-
phone rates. He stated that the change
had been contemplated for over a year,
and that there is now under eonstruc-
ton at Second avenue southeast and
Sixth street a building for this partic-
ular purpose, which will cost 100000.
One of the particular reasons put
forth by Mr.. Won Schlegell why the
service will be improved by the change
Is that the company will be enabled to
reach the Minneapolis toll board by
overhead wires, which, for long dis
tance telephoning, is much better than
conduit system.
No change will be made in handling
the intercity exchanges. It will be ex-
actly the same as heretofore with a
toll board in each city.

WHAT SULPHUR DOES

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 ef-
feet.
Nowadays we get all the beneficial eff
efIectS OF sulphur in a palatable, concen-
trated form. so that a single grain IS far
more effective than a tablespoonful of
the crude sulphur
In recent years research and experiment
have proven that the best sulphur for
medicinal use is that obtained from Call

stores under the name of Stuart's Calcium
Wafers- They are small chocolate coat

centrated, effective form.
Few people are aware of the yalue of
this form of sulphur in restoring and
maintaining bodily vigor and health: sui
phur acts directly on the liver, and excre-
tory organs and purifies and enriches the
material.
Our grandmothers knew this when they
dosed us with sulphur and molasses every
spring and fall. but the crudity and i'm
purity of ordinary flowers of sulphur were
often worse than the disease, and cannot
compare with the modern concentrated

Following closely upon the heels of
the announcement that the common
council of st. Paul is contemplating

remove the st. Paul long distance toll
board to Minneapolis, practically max

While the company insists that such
move has been contemplated for the
past year, it has been kept so quiet that

When she was fourteen years old, Mrs.
Ida L. Brown had st. Vitus' dance.
She finally got over the most noticeable
features Of the strange ailment, but was
still troubled by very uncomfortable SEN
sations, which she recently described as

fell back only to crowd up again, when
Jock taking advantage of the momen-
tary gap had obtained chimney cor
ner for me.
The other chimney corner was
filled by big bloated fellow with a
pimply face. Jock was humbly gra-
cious to him in spite of the fact that
the fellows mouth was constantly
filled with indecent expostulations,
which even landlord catering for
patronage might with credit to him
self take umbrage at.
The reason was manifest (the law
has an outwardly pacific effect upon
some, and Jock was one), this glut-
tonous fellow was the petit constable,
one of Jeffrey's men, as he had said,
and they had begun to collect the
criminals from the nearby places to
take them to town where the assizes
were to be held.
The criminals were usually a low
born set of rascals upon whom no one
wastes pity. The man the constable
had in custody that day was a differ
ent object-an object of both pity and
sorrow. For who can gaze upon a
