The Agony Of
Impure Blood
Can Be Readily Relieved By Using
Stuart's Calcium Waters
After Meals.
A Trial Package Sent Free.


Impure blood causes pimples, tetter,
prash, scaly skin, periods of intense
ltchlng, eczema and many other pain
Iul and discomforting skin Affections.
Purify the blood and in a short time
the skin clears itself of the dead and
waste deposits, fostering and irritation
cease and a clear, white and healthy
skin appears.
Most people attempt to cure pimples
and skin eruptions with exterior appli-
catlons, such as salyes, lotions, plas-
ters, etc. This method only drives the
irritation elsewhere. and serves at best
but temporary relief
Calcium Sulphide is a blood purifier
prescribed by almost every physician
and is the most powerful eradicator
known to science.
Stuart's Calcium Waters contain the
full strength of this wonderful blood
invigorator, which is often weakened
from evaporation, decay or chemical
Calcium Sulphide is difficult to pre-
serve, and hence the failure of many
druggists and chemists to hold it's full
strength. But when this can be done
Calcium Sulphide drives impurities
from the blood in less time than any
other known substance.
Stuart's Calcium Waters also contain
Quassia, Golden Seal and Eucalyptus,
each one a great blood purifier and
stimulator. An Alternative and laxative
is also combined with the other ingre-
dients. to enable nature to remove more
quickly all irritating and infectious
matter from the system in a natural
and easy manner

his opinion of Stuart's Calcium Wa
fers. They sell for soc per package.

BANQUET TO BERRY
Members of Printing Trades
Entertain President of the
International Union

More than loo members Of unions
connected with the printing trades
were guests OF the printing pressmen
and assistants union at an elaborate
banquet rendered to George Z. Berry,
president of the international organi-
zation, at the Poodle Dog restaurant
il Bush street near Kearny last night.
During the courses George A. Tracy,
Andrew Gallagher and other men
prominent in trades union ci, cles spoke
of the labor situation. and many re-
called anecdotes in Berry's life in San
Francisco before he went 10 Cincin-
natl TO accept the position which he
now occupies. Berry afterward spoke
of his work throughout the country
and Of the great advantage which the
printing trades had derived from their
tact and Intelligence in reco ognizing the
value of arbitration, and of the good
fortune which they enjoyed in having
been able to convince employers that
they were worthy of that method of
procedure in all difficulties and dis
putes.
The speaker looked forward to the
day waen employers in all branches of
industry would recognize that unions
are permanent institutions and must be
given the courtesy and consideration
whom they had to deal in business. He
expressed the belief that there was but
a small percentage of trades unions at
present not fair and intelligent and
entitled to this consideration.
He urged the members of the union
to remember that the ambitions and
the progress of their employers were
their interest and that good wages
could not be paid unless fair profits
were available. He said that the print
ing business had decreased in volume
proportionately in the last few years
and that the income OF printers Cem-
ployers) had decreased. and that ii
therefore behooved the men to cooper
ate with their employers for the benefit
of both
He later touched upon the tone man
shop problem which, he said, he hoped
to solve in the near future.
During the dinner an orchestra played
and professional and amateur enter
tainers gave numbers which were en-

tered his place of business on the after
noon of March 80 last, and she died
