all parties tried to talk at once. Small
daughters of the Leman and Tibbitt FAM
lilies had engaged in wrestling match on
the street over a. stick of candy or the
best way TO carry doll for the parade
or something Of that sort Armand Tibbitt
IA years old happened along just then and
he admitted Shaping the Leman child, but
denied hitting her with a club. Mrs. Lee
man then appeared and in the exchange
OF compliments young Tibbitt struck her
and a black eye resulted. He said he
used his open hand; Mrs. Leman insisted
a closed fish had been punched into her
face. Mesdames Leman and Tibbitt both
gave the court to understand they were
blameless, and when Mrs. Leman said
with emphasis that Armand had shot a
COW Armand said nay, that he had simply
walloped the COW with a club. Judge Day
stopped the fierce exchange of badinage
between the boy and the woman. whose
eye is still discolored, and suspended SEN
tence during good behavior. Armand also
drew a few center shots on the courtesy
due from a boy to the other sex, and
promised to be good and work hard.
Several other similar cases, at least in
degree, gave Judge Day few additional
wrinkles Of perplexity. He managed TO
untangie the idiosyncracies of a dozen OF
more little engagements of a physical or
verbal character. None of the parties con-
cerned appeared to have any particular
pride in their achievement of getting to the
juvenile court but the majority went away
reasonably satisfied. All claimed victory
but the court gave out no laurel wreaths.

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

Fur the Human Body in Health and
e,a Disease.
The mention of sulphur will recall to
many OF US the early days, when our
, mothers and grandmothers gave US our
daily dose OF sulphur and molasses every
spring and fall.
Il was the universal spring and fall
blood purifer,'' 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 guam
tty had to be taken to get any effect
Nowadays we get all the beneficial eff
fects of sulphur in n palatable, concen-
trated form. so that single grain is far
moro effective than tablespoonful OF thu
crude sulphur.
In recent years research and experiment
have proven that the best sulphur foK
medicinal use Is that obtained from Cal
cium Calcium Sulphide). and sold in drug
stores under the name OF Stuart's Calcium
Waters. They are small, chocolste-coated
pellets and contain the active medicinal
principle OF sulphur in highly coneen-
tratsd. effective form.

WHERE FRIENDSHIP IS NIL
In Selecting Assistant in Juvenile sOurt
Judge Day Plays No Fsvoritss,
DRAeS REDIcK INTO SEA OF VExATION
Lively Time in Youngsters Hall Of
Justice, where the Two Jurists
Are Kept Very
Busy.

Judges Redick and Day OF the district
court are personally very good friends. but
in the discharge of his official duty as head
of the juvenile court Judge Day knows no
friends. Judge Kennedy is his assistant
ordinarily in the trial of juvenile cases and
the junior judge has with him as an equip
ment furnished by nature a smile that dis
arms even neighbOrhood quarrels of their
accrbity and sends all erstwhile roaring
enemies home imbued with the sentiment
that they must love another.
Judge Kennedy was not available Satur-
day morning and when the chief justice
of the juvenile branch saw fully 100 fathers,
mothers, brothers, sisters, aunts, complain
ing witnesses and small offenders filling the
seats in the largest court room, he sent to
Judge Redick a courteously worded request
for assistance. This was done with some
misgiving of heart, because Judge Redick
was once handed the task of receiving and
sitting out a new jury panel. He did the
work, but afterward reported to Judge
Day, through his bailiff, saying he could
not trust himself to do 1t because his feel
ings might overflow. Redick Saturday
morning was again put through grueling
experience that will last him well over
Sunday.
