GAMBLING TRIPS CASHIER
Buck ct shops and Cards Lead to Em~
bezzlement and Flight
of G. A. Cook.

Charles A. Cook, formerly cashier of the
Acme Harvesting Machine company, Ninth
and jackson streets, absconded with I,23IW
of the money of the company on the night
of November % and is still at large. He
abandoned a wife in Council Bluffs and his
downfall is attributed to a fondness for
high play at cards and gambling in bucket
shops The loss will not fall on the imple-
ment company, as Cook was bonded to the
extent Of s., 900 by the Illinois Surety COM
pany.
A complaint charging Cook with embez-
element was filed by the local representa-
tive Of the bonding company in the court
Of Justice OF the Peace Cockrel.
Cook had been employed by the Acme
company for over a year and had been a
most efficient cashier and the utmost conf
dence was placed in his honesty and IN
tegrity. Previous to coming to Omaha he
had been the local agent Of the Acme COM
pany at Aberdeen, s. D., and had also been
employed by the Mccormick Harvesting
company. He resided in Council Bluffs and
was we'll known there.
The defalcations do not extend over a
long period, as the first loss which can be
traced on the books is on November 8
when he took $3.50, and the remainder OF
the amount OF the shortage was taken or
the day he left Omaha. He was known &c
be an inveterate whist player and fire
quently played for large stakes.
When requested for a statement as L
the embezzlement by his cashier, o. P
Olson, general agent for the Acme com
pany, said
II must Co. ~n to make any Statement

Cook and his wiic and had always place.

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 purifier" tonic and cure-all, and,
mind YOU this old-fashioned remedy was
not withou. merit.
The idea was good. but the remedy was
crude and unpalAtAbls, and a large guam
tity had to be taken TO get any effect.
Nowadays We get all the beneficial eff
fects of sulphur in a palatable, concen-
treted form, so that a single grain is far
more effective that a tablespoonful of the
crude sulphur.
In recent years research and experiment
have proven that the best sulphur fo-
medicinal use Is that obtained from Cal
cium calcium sulphide) and sold in drug
stores under the name OF Stuart's Calcium
Waters. They are small chocolate coated
pellets ard contain the active medicinal
principle Of sulphur In a highly con-
ceHtrated, 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 purifies and enriches
the blood by the prompt elimination of
waste material
Our grandmothers 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 con-
centrated preparations OF sulphur, OF
