What Sulphur Does
For the Human Body In Health and

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. .a.
"b1ood purifer,'' tonic and cure-all,
and mind you, this old-fashioned rem.
edy was not without merit. .. 49, =
+ 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.
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 g Calcium Waters. They are

tain the active medicinal principle of
sulphur in a highly concentrated, eff
fective form. -"
Few people are aware of the value of
this form Of sulphur in restoring and
maintaining bodily vigor and health;

| excretory organs and purifes and en-

Our grandmothers knew this when
they dosed us with sulphur and molas-
ses every spring and fall but the crud-
ity and impurity Of ordinary flowers
of sulphur were often worse than the
disease, and connot compare with the
sulphur, of which Stuart's Calcium
Waters is undoubtedly the best and
most widely used.

the complicated government machinery
which has been the result Of centuries

They have a president and vice

universal suffrage, secret ballot and

Of what the Liberians can do in the

Native State Balls.
"During my stay I was invited to
several state balls, which were dignified
functions, conducted quite on modern
lines. I also attended banquets, served
in courses. The menu was purely Lii
berian one, consisting mostly Of eggs
and different kinds Of fruit. The people
are happy, contented, and industrious,
in spite Of all that has been said Of the
inherent laziness Of the negro. Every
man has his own house, which he builds
himself. No man would think Of tax.

CURRENCY BILL NAY PASS.
senate Finance Committee FaNOrs the
AIdrlch Hill Of the S5th COnEr ess.

WASHINGTON, Dec. cit is possible,
although not altogether probable, that some
sort of currency bill will be passed at this
session Of Congress TO meet the insistent
demand for elasticity" as voiced by the
resolutions Of the recent bankers conven-
ton and the suggestions Of the President
and the Secretary Of the Treasury. 1t can
be stated as a point already decided upon,
however, that II any currency legislation is
passed il will be of the most conSe rvative
character. The Senate Finance Committee,
which controls in Congress on all questions
Of financial policy, has not formally or in
!. formally considered the subject, and it is
a fact that the chairman, Senator Aldrich,
has not even been made acquainted with
the terms OF the plan approved by the
bankers association committee. TO which
he is so widely reported IN the newspapers
as being opposed.
The Finance Committee will not consider
the currency question in any form until
after the holiday recess when Mr.. Allison,
the second member and one OF the important
-steersmen," will have returned. At pres
ent however, il il safe TO assume that the
committee is willing to bring in a conserva-
tive measure il 10 Is found that il can be
passed. II not there will be no bill.
So far as the dominating influence OF
the Finance Committee is concerned, it is
known 20 look with favor pom the emer-
gency bill presented by Chairman Aldrich
in the closing hours OF the Fifty-seventh
Congress. This measure had the lndorse-
ment Of popular opinion and the demand
for its passage was practically universal.
The country was, in fact, insistent on its
passage and the debate upon IL in the dying
days OF the session in February and March,
1903, was sensational. A group of silver
Senators, led by Teller and Patterson Of
Colorado and Dubois Of Idaho, flibustered
against the bill and Dubois formally de-
clared it to be his purpose TO talk the bill
to DEATH Senator Aldrich thereupon re-
the bill.
That measure, some members of the
Finance Committee say, is just as good
now as il was then, and quite "a effective
in meeting the present distressing situa-
ton in the money market.
