When The Blood
Goes Wrong
Man Suffers In Many Places Like a
City Whose Sewers Spread
Disease

When the blood of man becomes i'm
pure and filled with poison and decay,
It throws off the impurities and leaves
them to force and tester themselves
tnrougn the skin, just like city in
whose sewers foul gases arise and es-
cape up through cellars into houses,
bringing contagion and death.
What city needs is a generous flow
OF pure water to carry along and away
the sewage which breeds death and
disease. What the system needs for
the blood that is impure is a purifier
that will stimulate the flow of the pre-
cious fluid, that will check the impuri-
Ties ana remove them by the flow of
the blood from the system naturally
without irritation, infection and pain.
:, Calcium Sulphide is the strongest
blood purifier known to science and
medicine. What pure, running water
does to the impurities in city's sewer
Calcium Sulphide does for the blood
of man.
Stuarts Calcium Waters give the hu-
man body all the strength and vigor of
Calcium Sulphide, In better form than
any other mode of presenting 1t to the
that most Calcium Sulphide prepare
tions contain but 80 per cent of the
strength of this wonderful cleanser, the
other 70 per cent being lost by evap-
| oration. chemical change or decay.
Stuarts Calcium Waters contain
other blood purifiers like Quassia, Gold
en- seal and Eucalyptus, each having
g. distinct function to perform; also an
Alternative and laxative to throw off
through the human sewerage system
tthe bowels) the waste and poisonous
matter extricated by the blood puri-
fiers.
These little waters are a tremendous
power and act with amazing rapidity
in their work of cleansing the blood
and clearing the skin. Every druggist
carries them in stock; price SOC per
box, or send us your name and address

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.-Colonel Will

Grant, Arizona, has been retired from
active service. The report of the board
which examined Colonel Stewart was
presented to the president, and he inn

1t seems clear to me that no time
was lost in the case Colonel Stewart

prompt notification should have been
sent me and that the papers should
have been prepared so expeditiously.
The action of the president, they tell
me, is final and, of course, there is
nothing to be done
We have made no plans. I had

BERWICK REPLIES TO
LOVELAND,S STATEMENT
Father of Parcels Post ReS0Iu-
ton Asks Why Merchants
Object to Proposal

Edward Berwick of Pacific Grove,
president of the postaI congress league
and father Of the parcels post resolu-
ton which was defeated before the
Trans Mississippi commercial congress,
has sent TO The Call an answer to Col
H. D. Loveland's statement on the con-
troversy in committee over the resolu-
ton. Berwick says:
note in your issue this morning a
letter from Colonel H. d. Loveland
stating what was alleged to have oc-
CURED in the committee on resolutions
during the discussion of the resolution
on parcels post. 1 do not think Colonel
Loveland himself was present when the
vote was taken. AS l was an eyewit-
ness myself of the full transaction per-
NIT me to make my statement in your
columns.
Prior to any vote being taken in the
matter attention was called to the fact
that there was no quorum present. The
point was made that that could not be
ascertained until after the vote was
counted. The vote was then taken and
the chairman, inadvertently, or from
lack of full knowledge of parliament
tary practice, announced the vote. Some
member then said that there was no
quorum. Another member said it was
too late to claim there was no quorum
because the vote had been announced
It viii be seen from this that the
claim that there was no quorum was
made before any vote was taken and
any one could really be sure on which
side victory would lie. may add that
if were guilty of any breach of par
namentary decorum in any action of
mine before the Trans Mississippi con-
gress 1 am more than willing to ex-
press my full contrition therefor; but,
so far as / know at present, / acted
fully within my parliamentary rights
Not claiming to be an expert in parlia-
mentary niceties 1 don't fully realize
wherein 1 erred.
TO me II seems both fncomnrehensibIe
and incredible-one of the ironies of
history-that commercial congress of
any kind should be found opposing q
reduction of rates for transportation
1 can comprehend easily their resisting
any raising of such rates, but how any
sane gathering of sane merchants and
businessmen can oppose reduction of
rates, to me is an entire enigma.
