OUTSIDER TO GET

Treasurer of Marenoo County Makes
Unique Arrangement Whereby His
Bondsmen Get Share of Profits.

Linden, March 1O.-(Special) 1.-The office
of. treasurer of Marengo county is sur
rounded by somewhat peculiar clrcum-
stances just now. Some time ago the court
OF county commissioners declared the
bond of County Treasurer Brasfield in
sufficient, whereupon Mr.. Brasfield made
a new bond to the satisfaction of the
court About two weeks ago some of the
bondsmen came off of the last made bond
and Mr.. Brasfield was unable or failed
to make another
Today in the court of county commits
sioners at an adjourned term the bond
was made, 1t is said by arrangement that
w. B. Cooper is to have the care of the
county funds and receive one-third of
the commissions of the office and Mr..
Brasfield to keep the books and receive
two-thirds of the commissions, and Mr..
Brasf1eld's name to continue to be used
as county treasurer" This is some
thing new in politics here and is causing
some discussion.

DEATH Turks In SICK KIDNEYS

The kidneys are the weak link in the

sands of victims TO untimely graves. Nine
ty men and women In every hundred have
kidney trouble and don't know 1t. because
it's only when the trouble reaches an adj

We imagine we have dyspepsia, heart
disease, nervous prostraton and a hun
dred and one ills, but nine times out of ten
the real trouble is that the kidneys are
so weak and diseased that they are ut
terly unable to carry the waste matters
out of the body. and the uric acid accu-

New York, March 1O.-The Financier
this week:
Last weeks official statement of the
New York Associated banks though show
ing much larger loss of cash than was
estimated from the traceable movements
of money during the week, was quite IA
vorabe because of the heavy reduction In
the general deposits and consequently in
reserve requirements resulting largely
from an important contraction in loans.
The transfer by the treasury of public
funds to the depository institutions which
is reported TO have amounted to $1,000 600
during the week, was not fully reflected In
the statement, this showing an increase
of only S110S.900 in such deposits Com
pared with the previous week s total. this
discrepancy may however, be accounted
for by the fact that the average only
of the government funds is recorded In
the statement, and moreover the distribu-
ton of much funds was effected chiefly
after the middle of the week
The loss of cash was S., 800 whereas
the majority of the estimates indicated
a decrease In this item of less than one
and half millions. 1t is probable that
some of the cash loss was brought over
from the previous week, and as the trans
fer of two millions to San Francisco was
made on Tuesday. 1t doubtless counted FOR
nearly a full week In the averages. The
deposits decreased $21 100000 which amount
very nearly correspondent with the sum of
the contraction of S2l ,259, 200 i'm loans, and
the loss of cash as above, so the state
ment made a fairly good proof. The re-
qulred reserve against general deposits
was reduced 5000 $50. deducting from
which the decrease In cash left 81 $3.50
as the gain in surplus to SGi63,7 700. Com
puted on the basis of $9,659S00 public
funds, the surplus Is $S,S7S $50. The con-
traction Of 81 255,200 in loans probably re-
nected the liquidation of speculative ac-
counts on the stock exchange. which was
quite heavy, and almost continuous dur-
ing the week.

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
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 large guam
tity had to be taken to get any effect.
Nowadays we get all the beneficial eff
feet of sulphur in a palatable, concen-
trated FORM so that single grain is far
more effective than a Tablespoonful OF
the crude sulphur.
In recent years, research and expert
ment have proven that the best sulphur
for medicinal use is that obtained from
Calcium Calcium sulphide) and sold in
drug stores under the name of Stuart's
Calcium Waters. They are small choco-
late coated pellets and contain the active
medicinal principle 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; sui
phur acts directly on the liver. and ex-
cretory organs and purifies and enriches
the blood by the prompt elimination Of
waste material.
Our grandrhothers 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
preparations of sulphur. of which
Stuart's Calcium Waters is undoubtedly
the best and most widely used.
They are the natural antfdote for liver
and kidney troubles and cure constipa-
ton and purify the blood in a way that
often surprises patient and physician
alike.
DIR. r. NJ Wilkins while experimenting
with sulphur remedies soon found that
the sulphur from Calcium was superior
10 any other form. He says: For liver,
kidney and blood troubles, especially
when resulting from constipation or
malaria. have been surprised at the re-
suits obtained from Stuarts Calcium
kvafers. III patients suffering from boils
md pimples and even deep-seated car
buncles have repeatedly seen them dry
up and disappear in four five days,
leaving the skin clear and smooth. AL
though Stuarts Calcium Waters is a pro-
prietary article. and sold by druggists.
and for that reason tabooed by many
physicians, yet | know of nothing so
safe and reliable ror constipation. liver
and kidney troubles and especially in ali
forms of skin diseases as this remedy"
AT any rate people who are tired y
pills cathartics and so-called blood
purifiers" will find in Stuart's Calcium
Waters a far safer more nalatable and
effective preparation.

POLITICAL GOSSIP HEARD
AT THE ALABAMA CAPITAL
BY HERVEY w. LAIRD.

Montgomery. March 10.-(Special)-
There will be big fight before the
meeting of the state democratic commit
tee Tuesday for the revol1ing of the de-
termination to elect the members of the
state committee by convention. Several
letters have been written by men in
different parts of the state to have this
plan changed if possible A North Ala
bama man writes as follows to a friend
here: BE sure to see Mallory and have
the plan for electing members of the
committee by convention changed. The
people want to choose them as they did
before. This is important and I hope
you will see that it is given attention"
There Is feeling that the rule is a
bad one on the part of many, but there
are few who believe it will be changed,
There are also few who believe that any
OF the plans of the committee will be
changed
If there is any dependence to be put
in what one hears on the side and in the
middle too, for that matter the meeting
of the executive committee of the Ala
bama democracy here next Tuesday is
not going to be such quiet affair as some
had expected.

senators is not amended it will be be-
