What Sulphur Does
For the Human Body in Health and
Disease.


The mention Of sulphur will recall to
many Of as the early days when our moth
ers and grandmothers gave us our daily
dose OF sulphur and molasses every sprtnS
and fall.
II was the universal spring and fall
blood purifier" tonic and cure-all. ana
mind you, this old-fashioned remedy wa.
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 palatable, concentrated
form. so that single grain is far more
effective than a tablespoonful of the crude
sulphur.
In recent year, research and nxperiment
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 Wafer s
They are small chocolate-coated pellets and
contain the active medicinal principle OF
sulphur in highly concentrated. effective
form.
Few people are aware Of the value OF this
form OF sulphur in restoring and maintain
ing 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 concentrated
preparations OF sulphur. of which Stuart $
Calcium Waters is undoubtedly the best
and most widely used.
They are the natural antidotes for liver
aud kidney troubles and cure constipation
and purify the blood in a way that often
surprises patient and physician alike
DR.. r. NJ. wilkins. while experimenting
with sulphur remedies. soon found that the
sulphur from Calcium was superior to any
other form. He says; ''Eor liver. kidney
and blood troubles. especially when result.
ing from constipation or malaria, l have
been surprised at the results obtained from
Stuart's Calcium Waters. In patients
suffering from boils aud pimples and even
deep-seated carbuncles. l have repeatedly
seen them dry up and disappear in four OF
ive days, leaving the skin clear and smooth
Although stuart's Calcium Waters is a pro.
prietsry article. and sold by druggists. and
for that reason tabooed by many physi.
clans. yet know of nothing so safe and
reliable for constipation. liver and kidney
troubles. and especially In all forms OF Skin
disease. as this remedy"
At any rate people who are tired of pills
catharties and so-called blood purifiers

Prisoner, who Looks Like Mil

She IL from Kansas.

A woman who might pass In any crowd
as a millionaires daughter is booked at
the city Jail on the charge of grand lar
ceny T. L. Combs, jeweler at 1920 Doug
las street, said he saw her steal pair of
diamond ear drops Saturday afternoon
while he was showing her a tray of such
articles. The circumstances OF the woman's
arrest brought to light as clever a piece
of amateur detective work as has been
chronicled in this city for some time. The
woman gave her name at the city jail as
Miss Lizzie Barr and her address at Atchi-
son, Kan, from whence she said she came
10 Omaha Friday evening. Apparently she
is a stranger here. The purIoined jewels
were valued at 500 and were recovered.
Mr. Combs story of the AFFAIR is: 1T
suspected the woman when she entered
the store The first thing she asked was,
Where do you think could buy a good
pair of diamond drops" I suggested
she might ind what she wanted at our
place. I then got out a tray and began
showing them to her. The way she FUN
bled the drops kept me busy watching her.
She kept her fur mum on one hand and on
the counter. Presently she made pass to
slide a pair of the drops into the nun. but,
failing to do so. lifted up the mum and
threw the pair back onto the tray in
languid and careless manner.
Saw Her Pinch the stones.
She then asked me to say what the
diamond ear drops she wore might be
worth. She asked me to bend over the
counter and take a close look at them,
whsch i did, noticing her meanwhile slip a
pair in her muff I did not say anything
10 arouse her suspicion, but kept on show
ing her the goods Then she said she
thought there was nothing on the tray she
cared for.
You are sure there Is nothing you
want?' / asked. She said she was sure, and
then intimated she would look at some un-
set diamonds. I called a clerk and asked
/ for a lot OF unset diamonds, at the same
time giving the clerk the signal to send
! for a policeman. took the woman into
the front part OF the store and was show
i ing her the diamonds wnen Officer Brady
came along. The woman Immediately grew
nervous and asked what might be wrong
] She took piece Of gum out of her mouth
3 and made an attempt TO stick the ear drop:
| failed, the drops falling to the moor where
they were found"
Miss Barr became hysterical when the Of
| fcer took her into custody. She told o.
her baby at home and wanted to embraces
Mr.. Combs in her evident anguish. Sh'
protested her innocence and said she die
not take the drops. At the city jail sh'
told Captain Dunn she came to Omahs
Friday evening from Atchison. The police
believe she is a professional thief
