What Sulphur Does
For the Human Body in Health and
Disease

The mention Of sulphur will recall
to many Of us the early days wher
our mothers and ,grandmothers gave
us our daily dose Of sulphur and mo-
lasses every spring and fall
It was the universal spring and fal
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 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 table,
spoonful of the crude sulphur.
In recent years research and ex-
pertinent have proven that the best
sulphur for medical use is that OBJ
tained from Calcium calcium Sui
phide) and sold In drug stores under
the name of Stuart's Calcium Waters.
They are small chocolate coated pei
let's and contain the active medicinal
principle of sulphur i'm a highly con-
centrated effective form.
Few people are aware Of the value
of this form of sulphur i'm restoring
and maintaining bodily vigor and
liver and excretory organs and puri-
fies and enrches the blood by the
prompt elimination 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 modern concentrated prep
aItN1N. t.,I. -.
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
way that often surprises patient and
physician alike.
DR.. r. M. 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 maleria, l have
been surprised at the results obtained
from Stuarts Calcium Waters. In
patients suffering from bols and
pimples and even deep seated car
buncles, I have repeatedly seen them
dry UP and disappear in four or five
days, leaving the skin clear and
smooth. Although Stuarts Calcium
Waters is proprietary article and
sold by druggists and for that reason
tabooed by many physicians, yet
know of nothing so safe and reliable
for constipation, liver and kidney
troubles and especially in all forms of
skin diseases as this remedy"
At any rate people who are tired of
pills. cathartics and so-called blood
purifiers" will find in Stuart's Cal
cium Waters a far safer, more pala-
table and effective preparation.

Torpedo Factory Closed

ST. PETERSBURG. Feb. 4, 11;4O p.
m.-Lessner's torpedo factory in this
city. employing six hundred expert
filters and brass workers, has been
closed by Governor General Trepof,
who ordered the dismissal of the whole
staff for tearing down posters of the
emperor's recent speech to the work.
ingmen's delegation. The works are
strongly guarded by the police. The
admiralty and the war Office have re-
uuested General Trepoff to allow the
workmen to be re-employed, and it is
hoped the factory will reopen on Mon
day. The men claim they tore down
the posters because the deputation
which waited on the emperor did not
include their representatives.
A certain amount of agitation con-
tinues here. Printers in several es-
Establishments have struck again because
the employers refused to pay them for
their work while they were idle.

Manufacturers in Council
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. A meet
ing of manufacturers has decided to
petition Minister of Finance Kokovsoff
to consider the workmens demands in
consultation with representatives of
the employees and employers. All the
Russian manufacturers have further
decided to discuss the minor grievances
with the men, and have also resolved
not to impose fines or discriminate
against the strikers, but to raise a
fund for the victims of January %.
The manufacturers finally resolved
that the agitation among the workmen
was not labor but a national move
ment, and that, therefore, they are
not justified in the payment of wages
during the strike, but that in view of
the distress among the workmen, the
latter will be given relief.

at the Metropolitan Opera house this
afternoon the great counterweight con-
trolling the curtain broke loose and
fell from the top of the proscenium
arch to the stage crashing through the
floor of the ny loft on its way, barely
missing a stage hand. The counter
weight weighs possibly ton and the
noise it produced as 1t tore through the
timbers of the fly loft sounded like a
bombardment.
Great clouds of dust shot out over
tfe auditorium. Half of the audience
was up and started for the doors be-
fore the echo of the crash had died
away, but there was nothing approach
ing a panic. Until the weight could be
replaced it was impossible to raise the
curtain, and the intermission between
the acts was long. The matinee today
was the thirteenth of the current sea-

the superstitious opera singers.

NEARLY LOSES LIFE BY
DYNAMITE EXPLOSION

Bucket of the Explosive Alight

BY Associated PleSS
FRESNO, Feb. 4-United States
Cour1 Commissioner Frank Laning had
a portion of his right hand blown off
yesterday by the explosion of a dyna-
mite cap and escaped luckily with his
life. Laning was blasting to break the
hard pan for tree planting on his
ranch near here. He lit the fuse to
a dynamite cap, which he intended to
drop in a hole. He threw the match
accidentally into bucket of dynamite.
Flustered at the sudden blazing up of
the dynamite in the bucket, Laning
forgot to drop the dynamite cap. 1t
exploded, tearing off two fingers and
lacerating the hand so severely that the
surgeons believe that amputation will
be necessary.
Had Laning been three feet closer
TO the bucket of dynamite the concus-
sion would have caused it to explode
and he would have been blown to
atoms.
