Private Secretary A. B. Allen haa not What Sulphur Does For the Human Body in Health and Disease. The mention of sulphur will recall to many of us the early daya when our moth ers and gr:inilniothers gave us our dally dose of sulphur and molasses every spring and fall. It was the universal spring; and fall flood purifier," tonic and cure-all, and 1 mind you, this old-fashioned remedy was I nut without merit. The Idea was good, but the remedy waa crude and unpalatable, and a large quantity had io be taken to get any effect. Nowadays we get all Uie beneficial effects of sulphur in a palatable, concentrated form, so that a single grain Is far more effective than a tablesjaonful of the crude sulphur. In recent year, research and experiment have proven that the best sulphur for medicinal use Is that obtained from Calcium (Calcium Sulphide) and sold In drug stores tinder the name of Stuart's Calcium Wafeia. They are small chocolate-coated pellets and contain the active medicinal principle of ulphur In a highly concentrated, effective form. Few people are aware of the value of thia form of sulphur In restoring and maintain ing bodily vigor and health; aulphur acta directly on the liver and excretory organa and purifies and enriches the blood by the prompt elimination of waate material. Our grandmothers knew this when they dosed us with sulphur and molasses every spring and fall, but the crudity and Im purity of ordinary flowers of aulphur were often worse than the disease, and cannot compare with the modern concentrated preparations of aulphur, of which Stuart's Calcium Wafers ia undoubtedly the best and most widely used. They are the natural antidotes 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. Wllklns. while experimenting with sulphur remedies, soon found that the ulphur from Calcium was superior to any ather form. He aaya: "For liver, kidney and blood troubles, especially when result Ing from constipation or malaria, I have een surprised at the results obtained from Stuarts Calcium Wafers. In patients suffering from bolls and pimples and even deep-seated carbuncles. I have repeatedly aeen them dry up and disappear in four or five days, leaving the skin clear and smooth. Although Stuart's Calcium Wafers is a pro. prietary article, and sold by druggists, and for that reason tabooed by many physi cians, yet I know of nothing so sate and reliable for constipation, liver and kidney troublea, and especially in all forma of skin disease, as this remedy." At any rate people who are tired of pi Us, ra thirties and so-called blood "purifiers" Will find In Stuart's Calcium Wafers a far pafwr, mure palatable and aff eeliva prepaid paid anything, hut in lieu of the 2 per rent be has given his services. He haa n'vrr drawn anything from the central committee treasury since he was placed on the state pay roll. , It Is alleged that Injustice has been done In some cases. One stenographer, who is the sole support of her dependent r nrents, paid ta, which mas a little more than her assessment, while the higher salaried onea faded to pay. Among other Instances, where the full amount was not forthcoming, several In stitutions are pointed out. Dr. Kerns, the superintendent of the Hastings asylum, sent in 10. The total pay roll is irs.ntio a year, which on a 2 per centbasis would j nave made the amount of the assessment 1760. The list prepared by Treasurer Jtennlngs of the state central committee does not disclose the name of Superintendent Me Brlen among the contributors, and those of Deputy Auditor Cook and Insurance Deputy Pierce are not there. Bays Brown Was Joklaa". Today Courtright & Sldner of Fremont, attorneys for the Nye-Schnelder-Fowler company of that place, filed a brief In the supreme court in which serious objection Is made to the charge of the attorney gen eral that the members of the Nebraska Grain Dealers' association have been hold ing up the producers. The attorneys Insist that the attorneys for the state "Intended It to be understood In its technical legal sense only and not In Its popular sense." The brief continues: Nevertheless It Is said In cold print and It is not out of place for me to answer It. 1 am aware there la a sentiment amom a large class of people that all persons who handle grain on a large scale are robbing imini arge and undue profit.

Mrs. Celpelka, whose father Is a wealthy distiller In Ceska Trehova, Bohemia, haa applied to the court to have the decree set aside.

Upon arriving at her home, she declares, she found that her husband had fled from the town, leaving no word as to his des tination or purpose. In 1898, she says, she received an un dated letter from him agreeing to return to her If she would deposit 15,000 to his credit In a bank. This she was unable to do at the time.
