WHAT DOES
For the Human Body i'm Health and
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.
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 weIget all the beneficial
effects Of sulphur in a palatabIe, con
centgated form, so that a single grain
is far more effective than a tablespoon
full Of the crude sulphur.
In recent years, research and expert
ment have proven that the best sui
phur for medicinal use IS that obtained
from Calcium Sulpride, and sold in
drug stores under the name of Stuart's
Calcium Waters. They are snail
chocolate coated pellets of sulphur in
a highly concentrated, effective form.
Few people are aware of the value Of
this form Of sulphur in restoring and
maintaining bodily vigor and health:
sulphur acts directly OH 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, bot the
crudity and impurity of ordinary flow
ers of sulphur We're often worse than
fhQ disease and cannot cnn1nar 70 rrffh
the modern concentrated preparations
WATERS is undoubtedly the best and
most widely used
They are the natural antidOte for
liver and kidney troubles and cure con
stipation and purify the blood in a way
that often surprises patient and phy-
stefan alike.
DR.. r. NJ. Wilkins while experiment.
ing with sulphur remedies soon found
that the sulphur from Calcium was SUI
perior to any other form. He says:
For liver, kidneys and blood troubles,
especially when resulting from consti-
patton or malaria, | have been sur

Stuart's Calcium Waters. In patients
from bOils and pimples and
deep-seated c~arbunc1es, | have re-

skin clear and smooth. Although
Calcium Waters is a propri-
etary article, and sold by druggists,
and for that reason tabooed by many
yet l know of nothing so

and kidney troubles and especially in

HOME FROM THE WAR.
Startling scenes Enacted in the City
of Moscow.

| was passing the empty university
last Saturday morning. Minute SNOW
was lashing through the air before a
bitter wind, but it thawed as it fell.
n people went stopping through the
filthy puddles, in galloshes as is the
fashion here. Trailing in disorder
through the dirt and wind, mixed up
with the market people and the little
open droskies that dash up and down
the streets Like our hansoms. came a
string of soldiers slowly making their
way westward.
They had just passed the booths
where the butchers and other loyal
lists slaughtered the students. They
had reached the point where the Co.'S
sacks shot blindly into the procession
that had accompanied the funeral of
the student Baumann. There they
waited because the cross road in front
was blocked with traffic and a few
passers-by began to look at them cur
iously.
They were not to be called a column,
nor were they organized as an advance
party. They were not organized at all,
but a few cavalry came first, their
udily IltIIC LOISSS EIIO fuS up q
steam into the wind; then, a few in
fantry, not more than a battalion, |
think, covered with filth, their uni
forms torn and patched, some in low
caps matted with mud and snow. Be
hind followed a rambling line of carts,
and it was the sight of the men
stretched inside them with dirty ban
dages round their heads, or arms, or
feet which showed to us what the party
really was.
They were the soldiers returning
from the war-the van Of the great
and ruined army coming home. At
last they had completed the 5000 or
5000 miles of their journey through
the Siberian plains and were alive in
the heart of their own country. And
this is how they were received:
The municipality had intended to
range some sort of festivities at the
station. They had intended to give
little presents to the men-chocolates
and cigarettes, l suppose-and little
decorations for the officers: "To the
defenders of the country"
Whether those festivities were ever
held and those little present given |
cannot say. The government took

day. The presents may possibly nave
been rushed out in carts to meet them,
though it would be more like the Rus
sian officials to retain the offerings Of
their patriotism for themselves.
But so little interest was taken in
the whole thing that the evening pa
pers continued to announce that the
army would begin to arrive next day,
and as far as l can discover no fur
Their notice Of any kind was taken OF
the defenders Of the country. So they
drifted westward of the dirty streets
and disappeared into their barracks.
The reservists among them appeal
to have been dismissed at once. Al
all events the crowds of beggars who
with threats and curses violently de-
mand the milk of human kindness up
on the streets have been increased by
many tattered creatures who linn
about in traces of departed uniforms
and as they pass the people say: "A
soldier from the war."-Moscow Cor

CHAPTER II.
The Gloves.

must have remained insensible for
many minutes, for when I returned to
full consciousness the supper-room
was empty and the two hundred
guests had left seated at table were
gathered In agitated groups about the
hall This was what first noted; not
till afterward did l realize my own
situation. I was lying on couch in
a remote corner of this same hall and
beside me, but not looking at me,
stood my lover, Mr.. Durand.
How he came to know my state and
find me in the general disturbance
did not stop to inquire. 1t was
enough for me at that moment to look
up and see him SO near. Indeed, the
relief was so great, the sense Of his
protection so comforting that In
voluntarily stretched out my hand in
gratitude toward him, but, failing to
attract his attention, Slipped to the
floor and took, my stand at his side.
This reused him and he gave me q
look which steadied me, in spite Of
the thrill Of surprise with which /
recognized his extreme pallor and a
certain peculiar hesitation in his man.
ner not at all natural to it.
Meanwhile, some words uttered
near us were slowly making their way
into my benumbed BRAIN The waiter
who had raised the first alarm was
endeavoring to describe to an impor-
tunate group in advance of us what
he had come upon in that murderous
alcove.
81 was carrying about a tray of
ices," he was saying, "and seeing the
lady sitting there, went UP. had ex-
pected to find the place full Of gentle
men, but she was all alone, and did
not move as picked my way over her
long train. The next moment had
dropped ices, tray and ALL had come
face to face with her and seen that
she was dead. She had been stabbed
| and robbed. There was no diamond
on her breast, but there was blood"
A hubbub of disordered sentences
seasoned with Mortified cries followed
this simple description. Then a gen.
eral movement took place in the dlrec.
ton Of the alcove, during which Mr..
Durand stopped to my ear and whisp-
cred:
Eve must get out Of this. You are
not strong enough to stand such ex.
element. Don't you think we can es.
sape by the window over there?"
| What, without wraps and in such a
snow-storm 2" I protested. Besides
uncle will be looking for me. He came
with me, you know"
An expression of annoyance. or was
it perplexity, crossed Mr.. Durand's
face, and he made movement as IL
to leave me.
II must CO." he began, but stopped
at my glance of surprise and assumed
a different air-one which became
him very much better. Pardon me.
