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. ~.
It was the universal spring and fall
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. .../ 80
Nowadays we get all the beneficial
e effeets Of sulphur in palatable, con
is far more effective than a 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
sold in drug, stores under the name of
Stuart Calcium Waters. They are
small chocolate coated pellets and CON
tain the active medicinal principle of
sulphur in highly concentrated, ef-
fective form. -..- -. lily =
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-
riches the blood by the prompt elimina-
tlOn OF waste material. .>
Our grandmothers knew this when
they dosed us with sulphur and mo-
lasses every spring and fall, but Che
crudlty 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 SUI
perlor to any other form. He says:
q s. For liver. kidney and blood troubles,
especially when resulting from consti-
Prised at the results obtained from
Stuart Calcium Waters. In patients
suffering from boils and pimples and
even deep-seated carbuncles, I have
repeatedly seen them dry up and dis
appear in four or five, days, leaving the
sd1n clear and smooth. Although Stu
arts Calcium Waters is a proprietary
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 diseases as this remedy.
At any rate, people who are tired Of
pills. cathartics and so-called blood
purifiers will find in Stuart IS CAL
cium Waters, a far safer. more pala-
atable and effective preparation.

Fifty dollars, the remaining half Of

died several hours before.
Several months ago LETTERS came to
this city and stopped at the Grand
Union hotel. At that time he had con-
siderable money, but later his means
exhausted, he moved to less pretentious
quarters. His money gave out and his
family was communicated with. Word

Efforts were made to induce him to
return home, but he would not do so,
He drank more heavily and when he
could obtain no more money sold all
his clothing except what he wore.

Special to The Journal.

Washington, Dec. 22.-Holiday time
will be fighting time for several United
States senators who wish to succeed
themselves in office. For others there
is not even a fighting chance.
Thirty senators will go out of office
March 4, and of these it is practically
certain that eleven will not re-
turn to their seats. The eleven are:
Republicans: Aldrich. Michigan; Alec
of Delaware, Benson of Kansas and
Willard of Nebraska; democrats: Berry
of Arkansas, Blackburn of Kentucky,
/ Carmaek of Tennessee, Clark of Mon
tana, Dubois of Idaho, Gearin of Ore
gon and Patterson of Colorado.
Bailey of Texas, Dolliver of Iowa,
Dryden of New Jersey and Burnham
CT New Hampshire must scramble to
hold on.
Senator Aldrich of Rhode Island is
not in as hearty a position of support
of his colleague, George P. Wetmore,
as he might be. r. ...s.-
After March the republicans in the
senate will have a twothirds majority
and if their full strength is brought to
bear they can carry thru any act of
legislation and treaty ratification the
president or the party may desire.

BASE BALL, RACING
AND OTHER SPORTS

between the little fighters, need not have
been put into the hands of the official
stakeholder until February 6. Nolan posted
1t last evening to show he meant business
and TO disprove the rtImors that he was
going to refuse to send Nelson into the
ring. The 5000 will be forwarded to
Stakeholder Murphy of Philadelphia on
Monday.
The posting of Nelson's forfeit removes
the last barrier that could have stopped the
contest. McGovern's money has been up
for some days. according to the officials
o. the National A. c., which will hold the
contest.
Nolan and Nelson are as confident that
the latter will defeat Terrible Terry as they
are that the fight will take place. The
iron-jawed manager of the Dane had the
following to say about the outlook:
The reports that McGovern's manager
has sent out from Cincinnati that was
afraid to put Nelson into the ring with
Terry are all bosh. / post this 5000 to
prove that. My word Is good, and when I
told McGovern he would have q fight on
March II, he was sure to have It. The
money needn't have been posted until Feb
ruary 6, but wanted to show that ] mean
business, SO put 1t up at once.
BAT needs fight about now to keep
him in shape, and a gallop with Terry will
do him lot of good. I feel sure the bout
will not go the six rounds and that Bat
will land the sleep producing wallop."

DATES FOR HARNESS RACES
Details for Maryland and Virginia
Circuit

At the annual meeting OF the Maryland
and Virginia Fairs and Racing Association
yesterday afternoon at the Hotel Rennert,
season of 1906. Norfolk. as last year, will
be the scene of the opening of the harness
circuit The meeting will be started July
81 and continued four days.
From Norfolk the racing will be trans
ferred to Tasley. Then Pocomoke City,
Rockville. colchester, Timonius, Prospect
Park, Easton, Washington. Hagerstown
and Frederick will follow in order named.
Between the meeting Of the Brightwood
track, which is to end September IS, and
the meeting which opens at Hagerstown
October 8 there is an open week It Is
likely that the latter dates will be accepted
by the Electric Park track President
August Fenneman of that track was pres
ent at the meeting for the purpose of hav-
Ing the track included in the circuit but

1t can be seen that there Is but slight
change in the dates selected from last year.
The various associations select dates agree
able to the convenience of farmers and
others interested In the fairs and racing
The Gentlemen's Driving Park was not
represented at the meeting, as that track
dropped out of the circuit several years
ago and fixes its own dates as do Elec-
trio Park and Prospect Park.
The spring meetings to be held by these
Baltimore county tracks are not in the
circuit, which is strictly for autumn meet
ings.
The Maryland Jockey Club with It's run
ming race meeting required nearly twenty
days of the fifty days of racing allotted
by law to Baltimore county. The Mary
land Jockey Club is having prepared a bill
to amend it's charter so that its meetings
will be given under its charter and be ex
elusive of the fifty days now allotted to
Baltimore county. With this amendment
the Maryland Jockey Club will not figure
In the f1fty-day allotment and this will
leave ample dates for the Electric Park
Prospect Park and Timonium harness race
meets and also for two days running
and steeplechase meeting each by the
clubs
