Christmas Time.

II 10 the merry Christmas time,
When all tho shops are gay
With things that after New Years NOR
You couldn't give away.
And everybody all day long,
Is busy as a bee.
In buying gifts 20 send to folks
They never want to see.
II n the happy Christmas time,
When every soul is mad,
About the gifts they didn't get
But think they should have had.
And all the rooms are Uttered up
With trash you'll never use,
Tied up with gaudy ribbon bows
In glazing pinks and blues.
II is the giddy Christmas time,
The hOld-up season, when
You are apt to give a silver vase
And get a fountain pen,
or purchase, bound in costly calf,
The works Of Avons bard
And in return receive by mall
penny Christmas card.
II Is tho Joyous Christmas time
or holly and Of mirth,
When bells are ringing IN the sky,
And srOw 10 on the earth.
And II we all confess the truth,
Though Christmas costs US dear,
We're mighty glad to see IT, for
II Genes but once a year.
-Minna Irving.

What Sulphur Does
For the Human Body in Health and DIs-

For the Human Body in Health and DIs- ease.
 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 ev- cry spring and fall.
 It 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 we get all the beneficial effects of sulphur in a palatable con- centrated form. so that a single grain is far more effective than a tablespoon full of the crude sulphHr.
 In recent years. research and expori- ment have proven that the best sulphur for medicinal use Is that obtained from Calcium (Calcium Sulphde) and sold in drug stores under the name of Stu arts Calcium Waters. They are small chocolate 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; sulphur acts directly on the liver and excretory organs and purities 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. but the crudity and impurty of ordinary flow CTS of sulphur were often worse than the disease, and cannot compare with the modern coa >eatrated prepara tions of sulphur, of which Stuart's Calcium Waters is undoubtedly the best and most widely used.
 They are the natural antidote for liver and kidney troubles and cure con stipatinn and purify the blood in a way that often surprises patient and physi- elan alike.
 Dr. R. NJ. Wilkins while experiment.. ing with sulphur remedies soon found that the sulphur from Calcium was su- perior to any other form. He says: For liver, kidney and blood troubles, esp, ciallV when resulting from consti- patioh or malaria, have been surprised at fhe results obtained from Stuart's Calcium Waters. In patients suffering from boils md pimples and even deep seated carbuncleS I have repeatedly see. them dry up and disappear in four or five days, leaving the skin clear and moth. Although Stuart's Calcium Waters is proprietary article, and sold by all druggists. and for that req son tabooed by many physicians. yet kn Jw of nothing so safe and reliable for constipation, liver'and kidney trou- bleJ and especially in all forms of skin disease as his remedy.
 A. any rate people who are tired of pills. cathartics and so-called blood "pu rifcrs." will find in Stuarts Calcium Waters a far safer, more palatable and effective preparation

shoes for little folks. The ankle tie, which
is the little round vamp slipper with a mar
row strap buttoned around the ankle and
springing from just above the counter, is
best for the tots and comes in white can
vas, buckskin, patent black kid and tan
Russian. The ties in the same materials
and the same lasts have either the ribbon
ties or laces and are also very good.
In the top shoe the white buckskin top
and patent leather vamp is the smartest
thing shown. The buttons are large and
beadlike and of pearl china. The same
feathers are used in the top shoes as in the
low cuts and in the white the sea island
canvas will be much worn.
Above everything else, for little children
the white stockings will be preferable, and
for dress the lace stockings, and these will
be worn with all colors and styles Of shoe.
The little socks with the ribbed tops will
be worn by the tots with the sandals, ties
and, in fact, all shoes. The fine isles and
mercerized and tne lace In colors. black
and white, are shown for the girls up to IA
years, and the plain white, black and colors
in heavier weights for boys up to years.
For the boy over that the regulation,
heavy-ribbed black hose is preferable.

The summer paTasols are not all in as

ingly smart and airy. The hand embroid-
cred white linen sunshade is the very
newest thing and by far the most sub

for midsummer use. The body is round

and close embroidery are used. forming a
border and extending. vine like, up toward
the stick Others are scattered over with
white flowers and the edges are button
holed soallops. The sticks are white
enameled or natural white wood. and some
OF the more novel ones have colored sticks
and handles. ribs ana tips. The majority
have eight twenty-six inch ribs and are
very bowed.
In the silks some Of the newest models
have as many as twenty-four ribs. The
tops are in plain colors with borders rang
ing from four to twelve inches in depth.
The deep borders are the newest and are
preferably in flower designs. These. too,
have the bone, steel or celluloid tips and
the natural wood handles The mounted
handles seem to be confined to the black.
preferably the umbrellas. The combina-
tion rain and sunshade comes in colors
with borders and the cord and tassel on the
