DAMAGES SET AT $8,OOO,OOO
UNITED FRUIT COMPANY DL.
 PENDANT IN SUIT.
violation of Sherman Antitrust Law AIIeged--Americnn Banana Company Claims Discrimination in Costa Rica Soldiers of That Government In- duccd to Interfere With Banana Conn pany's Work it Is Alleged.
puny's work 1t is Alleged.


 New York, Sept. 12.--A suit involv- ing damages placed at several millions, in which the United Fruit company is named as the defendant, and which is based upon the alleged violation of the Sherman antitrust law was filed in the United States circuit court to-day. The plaintiff is the American Banana company, a corporation organ ized under the laws of Alabama sev- eral years ago. The American Banana company charges that it has been dam aged to the extent of $2,000,OOO through alleged acts of the United Fruit com pany, which, 1t is alleged, have re- suited in the Alabama corporation be- ing unable to engage in the fruit trade as competitor of the defendant com- pany. Under a section of the sherman antitrust law, which provides that an injured party shall collect triple dam- ages the amount of damages demand ed in the suit filed to-day is $600O, O00
 Papers in the suit declare that soon after the organization of the American Banana company, the company pur- chased tract of land near the divid- ing line between the republics of Costa Rica and Colombia in Central America, The possession of a tract of territory in which this plantation Is located was in dispute for some time, but the pres ident of France, who had been named as arbiter, eventually awarded it to Co., lombia. Tn the meantime work on the plantation had been progressing, and large force of workmen were in the company's employ. For some time be- fore the first crop of fruit was ready for gathering, it Is alleged in the pa- pers filed to-day, soldiers of the Costa Rica government invaded the planta- ton and forced the laborers to cease work. A short time later Costa Rican soldiers are alleged to have seized a shipload of supplies consigned to the American Banana company although the ship was lying at a port of the Republic of Panama. In the meantime the fruit on the plantation had ripened and routed in the fields and on the tIbtS, through lu6 dCtiull Ol AAiC COSLd Rican troops, who are alleged to have prevented the laborers returning to work Even up to the present time the Costa Rican troops are alleged to be in possession of the plantation, and active in preventing the raising and gather ing of fruit by the American Banana company.
 The plaintiff company declares that 1t has in it's possession positive evil dence that the action of the Costa Ric- an troops is due solely to Inducements offered Costa Rica by the United Fruit company, which operates a line of steamers to Central American ports, and has discriminated against the American Banana company in freight shipments. Therefore, it charges that the United Fruit company is responsi- ble for the plaintiffs failure to prof itably conduct its plantation, and thus is guilty of violation of the Sherman antitrust law and liable for the triple damages provided by that act.

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

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-aI, 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 palatable. con-
centrated form, so that single grain
is far more effective than a tablespoon
full of the crude sulphur.
In recent years research and expert
ment have proven that the best sulphur
for medicinal use is that obtained from
Calcium Calcium Sulphide) and sold
in drug stores under the name of
Stuart's Calcium Waters. They are
small chocolate coated pellets and con
tain the active medicinal principles OF
sulphur in a highly concentrated. effect
i've 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 purifes
and enriches the blood by the prompt
elimination of waste material
Our grandmothers knew this when
they dosed us with sulphur and mo-
lasses every spring and fall, but the
crudity and impurity of ordinary flow
ers of sulphur were often worse than
the disease, and cannot compare with
the modern concentrated preparations
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-
stipation and purify the blood in a
way that often surprises patient and
physician alike
DR.. R. NJ. wilkins, while experiment.
ing with sulphur remedies, soon found
that the sulphur from Calcium was SUI
perior to any other form. He sa~s:
For liver, kidney and blood troubles.

article and sold by druggists and for

yet know of nothing so safe and reliable
for constipation, liver and kidney troubles
and especially in all forms of skin dis
eases as this remedy.
At any rate people who are tired OF
pills, cathartics and so-called blood
purifiers" will find in Stuart's Calcium
Waters, far safer, and palatable and
effective preparation.
