What Sulphur Does
For the Human Body in Health and
Disease.
COSTS NOTHING TO TRY.

The mention of sulphur will recall to
many of us the early days when o,r
mothers and grandmothers gave ms 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
nina you, this old-fashioned remedy was
not without merit
The idea was good. but the remedy
was crude and unpalatable and n larpa
quantity had to be taken to get any ef-
feet
Nowadays we get all the beneficial ef-
fects of sulphur in a palatable concen-
trated form, so that a single grain is far
more effective than a tablespoonful of the
crude sulphur
In recent years research and experi
ment have proven that the best sulnbnr
FOR medicinal use is that obtained from
Calcium Calcium Su1phide) 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 eycre-
tory organs and purifles and enriches the
blood by the prompt elimination of waste
material.
Our grandmothers knew this when thew
dosed us with sulphur and molasses every
spring and fall, but the cruditv and i'm.
purity of ordinary flowers or sulphur were
often worse than the disease. and can
not compare with the modern conce1
trated preparations of sulphur. of which
Stuarts Calcium Waters is undoubtedly
the best and most widely used
They are the natural antidote for liver
and kidney troubles and cure constipa-
ton and purify the blood In a wav 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
to any other form. He says: '.For liver.
kidney and blood troubles, especially
when resulting from constipation or ma
laria, l have been surprised at the re-
suits obtained from Stuart's Calcium Wa

pimples and even deep-seated carbuncIes.
I have repeatedly seen them dry up and
disappear in four or five days. leaving

for constipation. liver and kidney troubles
and especially in all forms of skin dis

At any rate people who are tired of pills

will find in Stuart's Calcium Waters a
far safer, more palatable and effective
preparation.

Aoki's Views.

The Japanese ambassador Viscount
Shuzo Aokl, is a wise man, though per-
haps something of a humorist. AolIi
sympathzes with the members of his
race who have married American women.
The other night he made a speech at the
Japanese club of this city, and, according
to the translation of a Japanese reporter,
he said:
II hear some of you are married with
American ladies'. | sympathze with you.
In associating Win Americans, in gentle
manlike, formal ways, our countrymen
have no trouble. But when 1t comes to
more intimate friendship, our countrymen
may be somewhat backward. Make your
self worthy of the love of millionaires'
daughters. When your fathers-in-law see
in you something. they will assist you in
every way possible"
Aoki is a Latin scholar. He explained
what "connubium" means. He urged his
countrymen to appreciate the purports of
the Roman custom of connubium.
Europeans fight among themselves at
times. But they are on friendly terms
ordinarily. Why? Because they are in
termarried with each other"

Wall Street and Christmas.

Many thousands of dollars in Christmas
gifts We're distributed this week by the
banking and stock houses of Wall street.
In the boom years of 1901 and 1902 the
amount was probably three or four times
as much as it has been SINCE but the tlg-
ures this year were enormous.
Some prominent brokerage houses dis

to all of its correspondents, customers
and Stock Exchange neighbors. Souve-
Mrs in silver and costly articles of every
kind are yearly given away by other
houses.
The distribution of money is largely to
officers and employees of corporations and
banks In 1902 one banking house gave
every employee the amount of full year s

several other firms. Many firms in the
financial district give 10 and 20 per cent.

ORIGIN of "23.v

The country is doubtless much edited
by the learned symposium now going on
regarding the origin of that mystical
piece of slang, ''23" That the conductors
of the inquiry columns of the newspapers
do not agree only makes the discussion
moro interesting. According to the Even
ing Post, here are some of the explana-
tons of how the phrase originated:
% Race tracks are so laid out as to
accommodate not more than twenty-five
horses at a time. The twenty-third horse
entered, therefore, must be put out of the
race.
Cd The psyehopathic ward at Bellevue
hospital is ward No %, and in the yer
nacuar of the ambulance surgeon,
"Twenty-three for his" is equal to He's
crazy"
60 In numbering the rooms of GER
tain new hotel. the numeral "23' was in
advertently omitted. The clerks therefore
used SHOW the gentleman to room rs"
as signal to the "bouncer," when a 4
undesirable applicant came for room.
a. The expression originated from the
twenty-third verse of the third chapter
of Genesis; Therefore the Lord sent
him forth from the Garden of Eden. TO

passage in "A Tale of Two Cities" She

Rapid Transit.

Few persons have any knowledge of the
fast work now under way to improve New
YorlS's transportation facilities. Perhaps
the most interesting part o. the work is
the building of four tunnels under the
Hudson river-two downtown and two
uptown.
This means rapid transit on a gigantic
and comprehensive scale. From Herald
Square. Wall street or the Grand Cen
trail station you are whisked under New
York and the Hudson river to any of the
trunk line stations and steamship piers
in Jersey City. Whether you are bound
for Chicago, San Francisco, Philadelphia,
Washington, or merely Hackensack and
Newark, it's all the same. You go at
express speed, and. vice versa, passen-
gers arriving from the south, west or
north are shot under the river and under
Manhattan, if they wish it. to points on
Ions Island or New England, or they are
landed at any business point in the big
city.
The two tunnels down town run from
the Pennsylvania station in Jersey City
to Cortlandt and Church streets. in New
York; thence intersecting with the Broad
way subway. Che track runs in each tun-
mel, one to Jersey City and the other from
Jersey City to New York.
The two uptown tunnels run under the
Hudson from the various railway stations
in Jersey City, reaching New York ut
Morton street, continuing thence into
Sixth avenue, extending from Ninth
street up town to Thirty-fourth street
and connecting with the Grand Central
station, tapping all points in the avenue,
including the Pennsylvania tunnel and the
subway. A branch will also extend to
Aston place and the subway.
Work began in 1892. The downtown
tunnel will be running in a year; the up
town tunnel in eighteen months.
The estimated cost of the great enter
prise is s6O,O0O0O0, with an sS,00O.O00 ter
minal at Cortlandt ana Church streets.
Thirty-five hundred men are working
night and day. in three shifts. with an
executive staff Of 200 experts, officials and
engineers, in charge of the work.
