government in the year 1895, exclusive
of postal receipts.
Since the formation of the govern
ment, congress has appropriated for
river and harbor improvement 1885,
100000. During the past five years
the appropriations for naval expansion
have aggregated sum larger by $44,-
100000 than the sum just FAMED as
having gone into river and harbor work
in 100 years.
In the navy today there are 27O YES
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 presidents 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.
....5 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. 1t is the first time any
internal improvement scheme has ever
been put on such high plane. Usu-
ally there has been more or less petty
graft in river and harbor bills-graft
for the reason that much Of the money

This restriction is particularly OBJ

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
In recent years research and expert
ment have proven that the best sui
phur for medicinal use is that obtained
from Calcium Calcium Sulphide) and
Stuart IS Calcium Waters. They are
small chocolate coated pellets and con-
tain the active medicinal principle of
sulphur in highly concentrated, ef-
fective 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 en-
riches the blood by the prompt elimina-
ton 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
way that often surprises patient and
physician alike.
DR.. R. M. Wilkins, while experiment.
ing with sulphur remedies, soon found
that the sulphur from Calcium was su-
perler to any other form. He says:
For liver. kidney and blood troubles,
especially when Resulting from, consti-
patton or malaria, | have been sur
prised at the results obtained from
suffering from boils and pimples and
even deep-seated carbuncles, have
repeatedly seen them dry up and dis
appear in four or five days, leaving the
skin clear and smooth. Although Stu
art IS Calcium Waters is proprietary
article and sold by druggists and for
that reason tabooed by many physi-
clans, yet l know of nothing so safe
and reliable for constipation, liver and
kidney troubles, and especially in all
forms Of skin diseases as this remedy.
At any rate, people}who are tired Of
pills, cathartics and so-called blood
purifiers will find in Stuart's Cal
cillm, WATERS, a far safer, more pala
atable and effective preparation.

sending for all his customers from the

in and have a purchase with him. It
is also expected to. stop the salesman
who has been coming there for only
as long as his steamer remained in that
port and taking his customers on board
to- inspect his samples and make his
sales. The new law will not even al.
low the salesman to, land for the pur-
pose of phoning his customers to come
in without paying the tax.
