The idea was good, but the remedy was crude and unpalatable, and a large quantity had to bo taken to get any effect. j 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 a tablespoon ful of the crude sulphur. In recent years, research and experi ment have proven that the best sul phur for medicinal use is that obtained from Calcium (Calcium Sulphide) nd sold in drug stores under the name of Stuart's Calcium Wafers. They are small chocolate coat d pellets and con tain the active mecicinai principle of sulphur in a highly concentrated, ef fective form. Few people are awaro 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 by the prompt elimination 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 t. disease, and can not compare with th" modern concentrated preparations of sulphur, of which Stuart's Calcium Wafers is :ndoubtedly the best and most widely used. They are the natural antidote for Compared with tho fiscal year 1903 the receipts for 1904 decreased $10 40b,743.90. ' ' There was an increase of S85.CG1 -495.37 in expenditures.

The net result is a decrease in ordinary revenues for tho year of $19,704,925. There was an apparent net increase in ordinary expenditures of $70,303, 314.27, but this includes the payment of $50,000,000 on account of the Pana ma canal and a loan of $4,000,000 to the Louisiana Purchase exposition com- In the year ended September 30, 1904, JoLrSnn' Wlth a?sniito capital of 3n?'

Wilkins while experiment ing with sulphur remedies soon found that the sulphur from Calcium wa3 superior to anv other form. He says: "For liver, kidney and blood troubles, especially when resulting from con stipation or malaria, I have been sur prised at the results obtained from Stuart's Calcium Wafers. In patients suffering from boils and pimples and even deep-seated carbuncles, I have re peatedly seen them drv up and disap pear in four or five days, leaving the skin clear and smooth. Although Stu art's Calcium Wafers is a proprietary article and sold ,bv druggists, and for that reason tabooed ov many phy sicians, yet I know of nothing so safe and reliable for const! tpation, liver and kidney troubles and especially in all forms of skin disease as this rem edy." At any rate people who are tired of pills,' cathartics and so-called blood "purifiers," will find in Stuart's Cal cium Wafers, a far safer, more palat able and effective preparation.

The national bank notes presented for redemption during the year amounted to $202,141,930, or G1.12 par cent of the average amount of the notes outstanding. Compared with 1903, this sum is $05,712,309, or 33.45 per cent larger, and it Is the maxi mum presented in any year in the his tory of such redemptions. The money in circulation July i, 1904, amounted to $2,519,142,800, a per capita circulation of $30.77. The per centage of gold was 44.12. A notable fact is that, with an ad dition of 1.7 per cent to the population in the year, the increase in the circu lation per capita has been 4.5 per cent. By October 1, 1904, there was a further increase in circulation of $43, 006,029, and the circulation per capita reached the maximum of $31.16, while th- share of gold became 44.03 per cent. Since the issue of tho first charter in 18G3, 7,417 national banks have been authorized to begin business, of which 5,457, with aggregate capital of $777, 741,335, were in operation on Septem ber 30, 1904.

Tho holdings of specie in September 1901, were $501,748,935, or $107,192,707 greater than in September, 1903, and consisted of ?108,139,8G1 in gold coin, $228,732,020 gold treasury certificates, $80,909,000 gold clearing house certificates, $19, 075.5G0 silver coin, and $07,532,494 sil ver certificates. The chango in tho holdings of legal tenders was nominal. The amount in the benks in September, 1904, was $150,707,594, a decreaso of $42,2G5 compared with September 1903.

Of this, $208.01 8.042.50 was gold coin, exceeding the gold coinage of any previous year in the country's history. The coinage of standard sil ver dollars amounted to $10,101,050; of subsidiary silver, $7,719,231, and of minor coin $1,702,028.05. Tho silver dollars were all coined from bullion purchased under the act of July M, 1890. Of the subsidiary silver, $5,013, 000 was likewise coined from this bullion. It is shown that the coinage of sub sidiary coin has decreased from $12,- -7U,4 coined in 1900, to $7,719,231, coined in 1904, from which it is ap parent that steps must soon be taken to provide bullion for subsidiary coin age. Tho interest bearing national debt July 1, 1904, is $895,157,440. Our currency system, though some what complicated, has been proved safe and reliable under every practical te3t. The exchange of gold for all forms of money issued or coined by tho gov ernment, on demand, authorized by act of congress approved March 14, 1900, removes every suggestion of public distrust or doubt. The system has one recognized weakness, however; it Is nonelastlc. This criticism is some times answered by the statement tha. national banks possess the power co increase circulation at will. Actual experience demonstrates the insuffi ciency of this prerogative to correct the recognized evil. Banks are not likely to use their last $100,000 reserve in the purchase of government bonds as a basis for an equdl amount of cur rency not available for "eserve, but which increases to that extent their liabilities. On the contrary, banks sometimes retire th'Ir circulation and sell their bonds for the purpose of re- want . act in touch with ererv buyer of coeds.
