CHEAP SULPHUR,

4 Point In Connection with Lime.
Salt and sulphur Mixture.
Professor J. B. Smith before the New
Jersey Horticultural society recently
had this to say about sulphur:
l think a great many horticulturists
have made q mistake In trying to OBJ
tain sulphur too cheaply. There Is sui
phur and sulphur. There Is -four OF
sulphur-that Is, sublime which
forms the basis upon which the for
mulas are made up. There is also
ground sulphur, and 1t makes the -four
sulphur. That is simply lump sulphur
ground up. That is good IL 1t is ground
fine and IL the mixture is boiled long
enough to combine with the lime.
Then there is another material that Ia
sold as ground sulphur which is really
the crude sulphur ground up, with all
Its Impurities. That, Of course, Ia sold
rather more cheaply than the other ma
terial, but 1t contains a considerable
percentage Of lime, but is not the kind
Of material that has been recommend
ed In making up these lime and sui
phur washes.
Mr.. Collins said that IL sulphur were
put on hot iron and 1T all burned II
was pure sulphur. He thought this
rule for finding whether sulphur Is
pure or not Is worth knowing.

England Gives Sultan Ten Days to Ge
Out of Egypt.

London, May 4.-The British am
bassador at Constantinople has pre-
sented a note to Turkey demanding
the complete withdrawal of Turkish
troops from Egyptian territory. The
note Is practically an ultimatum and
Constitutes Great Britain's last word
on the encroachment of Turkey on the
Siniatic peninsula. The French and
Russian ambassadors at Constantine
pie are supporting the British conten-
lions. Should the ultimatum fail to
have the desired effect the British
Mediterranean fleet will take the
measure so often employed by the
powers In recent years as the result Of
disputes with the sultan and a naval
demonstration, 1t is anticipated, will
quickly bring about the evacuation Of
the Tabah territory, which Great
Britain contends is unquestionably
Egyptian territory.
The sultan was given ten days In
which to comply with the demand.

Because, as she alleged, her husband
had the playful habit of creeping
around the room at night to make her
believe there was burglar in the room,
Mrs. Emma Nelson of 1917 King street
yesterday filed petition for divorce
against Carl 1. Nelson in the superior
court
In connection with the petition a Sec

The couple, according to the story
told by Mrs. Nelson in her petition
were married in June, 1898 and now
have three children. Up until several
months ago they had managed to live
comfortably and had amassed con-
siderable property.
The trouble, according to the allega-
tions, began last December, when on
the eve Of Christmas Nelson went to
his home and created disturbance by
attacking his wife. The details of the
argument told in the complaint are as
follows:

several occasions when he tried to Gre

"I bore his actions as long as 1 could

A DIFFERENCE
IN LUNGS,

In the Edinburgh Uni
versity three human lungs lie
side by side. One is of an
Eskimo and is snow white.
In life, this would be ruddy
with rich blood. Another is
that Of a coal-miner and is
black. The other is of a town
dweller and is a dirty slate
gray, as are the lungs Of most
city residents. That's why
consumption thrives in cities.
One reason why Scott's
Emulsion does so much to
keep down consumption is
because it helps to keep the
lungs clean and supplies
them with rich, red blood. It
makes the lungs germ.re-
sisting. If the body is run
down and health is at a low
ebb SCOTS Emulsion will
build it up quickly and per-
manently.

Weidner has come to the front and will
marshal the forces to entertain the
loyal brethren who are crossing the
desert sands in caravans to reach the
mecca at Los Angeles, despite the arbi-
trary commands of the head mogul.
No set program has been arranged,
but a good time for twenty-four hours
every day. Visiting Shriners and their
families will be entertained at the Scot
tish Rite cathedral and the chamber of
commerce has promised to assist in
every way possible in arranging excur-
sions to places of interest.
The railroads have promised to give
special rates and all outside towns will
do their part in making a name for
Southern California.
