government in the year 1896, exclusive
of postal receipts.
Since the formation of the govern
ment, congress has appropriated for
river and harbor Improvement $780,
100000. During the past five years
the appropriations for naval expansion
have aggregated a sum larger by $44,-
100000 than the sum just named as
having gone into river and harbor work
in 1870 years.
In the navy today there are 27O ves-
sells, and 38 others are being con-
structed. When these are completed,
the navy will in tonnage and efficiency,
be second only to that of Great Brit
ain.
The foregoing, in brief form, are the
arguments which are being urged
against the president s policy Of furth-
er naval expansion, and in favor of the
proposition to take the money that
would otherwise go to the navy and
apply it to internal improvements.
- Is Free from Graft.
The problem is somewhat simplifed
by the fact that the Mississippi river
scheme has now assumed definite and
practical shape, appealing to the com
mon sense of business men all over the
middle west. It is the first time any
internal improvement scheme has ever
been put on such a high plane. Usu-
ally there has been more or less petty
graft in river and harbor bills-graft

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 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 purifer,' tonic and cure-all,
and, mind you, this old-fashioned rem
edy was not without merit.
The idea was good, but the remedy
was crude and unpalatable, and 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 tablespoon
full of the crude sulphur

ment have proven that the best sui
phur for medicinal use is that obtained
from Calcium Calcium Sulphide) and
