mit difference to The Hague came
most promptly also from these na
tions. Although The Hague trtbunal has
not been the immediate success that
was hoped, it is nevertheless making
notable progress, as history will juage.
Assistant Secretary of State Loomis
gave, at St. Louis, the address of wel
come as a representative of the pres
ident. In this address ho gave the
following statement of the progress
made in securing treaties to augment
the usefulness of the peace tribunal as
What Sulphur Does
For the Human Body in Health and
Disease.
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 mo
lasses every spring and fall.
It was the universal spring and fall
"blood purifier," 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 a large
quantity had to be taken to eet any
effect.
Nowadays wo get all the beneficial
effects of sulphur in a palatable, con
centrated form, so that a single grain
is far more effective than a table
spoonful of the crude sulphur.
In recent years, research and exper
iment have proven that the best sul
phur for medical use is that obtained
from Calcium, (Calcium Sulphide) and
Sold in drug1 stores under the name of
Stuart's Calcium Wafers. They are
femall chbcolate coated pellets and con
tain the active medicinal principle of
sulphur in a 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 puri
"fies and enriches the blood b the
prompt elimination of waste material.
4 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 can not compare with
the modern concentrated preparations
of sulphur, of which Stuart's Calcium
Wafers is undoubtedly the best and
most widely used.
They are the natural antidote for
liver and kidney troubles and cure
constipation and purify the blood in
a 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 w; su
perior to any other form. Hu says:
"or liver, kidney and blood troubles,
especially when resulting from consti
pation or malaria, I have been sur
prised at the results obtained from
Stuart's Calcium Wafers. In patients
suffering from boils and pimples and
pven deep-seated carbuncles, I have
repeatedly seen them dry up and dis
appear in four or five days, leaving the
Si'in clear and smooth. Although Stu
art's Calcium Wafer is a proprietary
article, and sold by druggists, and for
that reason tabooed by many physi
cians, yet I know of nothing so safe
and reliable for constipation, liver and
Sidney troubles and especially in all
forms of skin disease as this romedy."
t any rate people who are tired of
pills, cathartics- and , so-called blood
'purifiers," will flncrMn Stuart's Cal
cium Wafers, a- far safer, more palat
able and effective preparation.
woll as similar examples pf arbitra
tion. He said: ' '
"Tho cause of International, arbitra
tion is making notable and pcimanent
progress. Since your last meeting
Great Britain and France, France and
Italy, Great Britain and Italy, Holland
and Denmark, Great Britain and Spain,
France and Spain, France and Holland,
and Spain and Portugal have con
cluded treaties pledglngthomBelvos dur
ipg a period of five years to submit
certain classes of cases to Tho Haguo
tribunal. The signing of these treaties
marks a distinct and promising ad
vance. The Alaskan boundary dispute
has been amicably settled, ai;d the
record of tho year counts among its
achievements, besides tho'caucs dealt
with In Tho Haguo tribunal, the ap
pointment of special arbitrators to
settle:
"The boundary dispute between Ecu
ador and Peru.
"The boundary dispute between Col
ombia and Peru.
"The claims for indemnity of French
citizens on the treaty shore of Now
foundland, provided for under tho gen
eral agreement between France and
Great Britain; tho question of tho
boundary line at the entrance of the
Christiania fjord, between Sweden and
Norway.
"The land question in the New Heb
rides, between France and England;
also provided for under the Anglo
French agreement.
"The Barotzeland frontier question
between Great Britain and Portugal.
"The controversy between the Turk
ish government arid the administration
of the Ottoman debt.
Secretary Loomis also called atten
tion to the fact that America ha3 been
a party to seventy of the 200 (ap
proximately) cases of arbitration in
the solution of -international difficul
ties during the past 100 years. Tho
most notable of these was the treaty
negotiated in Washington in 1871 pro
viding for four arbitrations. Of this
Mr. John Morley says:
"The treaty of Washington and the
Geneva arbitration stand out as tho
most notable international feature of
the nineteenth century of the noble
art of preventive diplomacy, and the
most signal Instance in their history
of self-command In two or threo chief
democratic powers of the western
world."
It is significant that this trnaty was
made under the administration of Gen
eral Grant, a man who loved peace
the better because he knew war so
well. It may be well to remember Jn
this connection the words of Grant
toward tho. close of his life:
"Though educated a soldier," he said,
"and though I have gone through two
wars, I have always been a man of
peace, preferring to' see questions of
difference settled by arbitration. It
has been my misfortune to be engaged
in more battles than any olhpr Amer
ican general, but there was never a
time during my command when I
would not have chosen some settle
ment by reason, rather than the svcrd.
When the duke of Cambridge asked
me to review; his troops at Aloershot,
I told him that the one thing I never
wished to see again was a military
parade. I never went Into a buttle
willingly. I never want to command
another army."
The sentiment of Grant was akin
to that of the first great warrior
statesman, Qeorge Washington.
m a letter of July 25, 1785, to David
Humphreys, secretary of the comjiis
sion sent abroad to negotiate treaties
of commerce, he wrote: "My first wish
is to see this plague to mankind (war)
banished from the earth, and tho sons
and daughters of this world employed
in more pleasing and innocent amuse
ments than in preparing Implements
and exercising them for tho destruc
tion of mankind."
Tho noble, body of men and women,
then, whoso faces aro turned toward
Boston and tho body of statesmen now
in our stato aro trying to bring about
that which America's great firot presi
dent urged as his "first wish."
It is well that tho great pei',o con
gresses have como in America Thoy
will revivo tho nation's dulled sense of
tho enormity of war and tho actlvo
desire to bo a mighty power In tho
cause of peace.
Edgar Fawcett has given in the
following lines tho purpose of tho
peace workers and tho message they
bring to America:
If thou detcstest war, as all mon
should,
Make monumental thine antipathy;
Intoxicate theyself with loathing of It;
Givo policy's least mood of .protean
guile
No quarter. S'ound one note, and vary
it not.
While tumults of Insidious "ifc" and
"thoughs."
Like locust legions, loundening as thoy
swell,
Would buzz and hiss thee muto.
