The mention of sulphur will recall to many of us the early du when out moth cr and grandmother gave us our dallr dose of sulphur and molasses every spring mm tail. It was the universal spring and fall "blood purifier," tonlo and cure-all, and luind you. this old-fashioned remedy was nui without merit. The idea waa good, but the remedy waa crude and unpalatable, and a large quantity una to oe ianen to get any effect. Nowaday we get all the beneficial effect of sulphur In a palatable, concentrated form, so that a single grain Is far mora effective than a tablespoonful of the crude sulcnur. In recent year, research and experiment have proven that the beat aulphur for r.iedlclnal use Is that obtained from Calcium Calcium Bulphide) and sold In drug store under the nam- of Stuart' Calcium Wafer. 1 liey are small chocolate-coated pellet and contain the active medicinal principle of sulphur li a l.Uhly concentrated, effective form. Few pcojlc ate aw. ire of the value of this form of sulphi.r In restoring and maintain lug bodily vlgur and health; sulphur acta directly ou l lid liver and excretory organ er.d purine and enriches the blood by the piompt elimination of wast material. our grandmothers knew this when they dosed u with sulphur and molasses every spring and fall, but the crudity and Im purity of ordinary tlowera of sulphur were inrfn worse than the disease, and cannot compare with the modern concentrated pieparatlon of sulphur, of which Stuart Calcium Wafers la undoubtedly the best and most widely used. They are the natural antidotes for liver and kidney trouble and cure constipation nd purify the blood In a way that often turprlse patient and physician alike. Dr. H. M. Wllklns, while experimenting slth sulphur remedies, soon found that the ulphur from Calcium was superior to any Mlicr form. He saya: "For liver, kidney ind blood troubles, especially when result ng from constipation or malaria, I have ' X'en surprised at the results obtained from ituart' Calcium Wafers. In patients suffering from bolls and pimplea and even deep-seated carbuncles, I have repeatedly seen them dry up and disappear In four or five day, leaving the skin clear and smooth. Although Stuart' Calcium Wafer Is a pro prietary article, and sold by druggists, and for that reaaoti tabooed by many physl ctun, yet 1 know of nothing so safe and reliable for constipation, liver and kidney '.roubles, and especially In all forma of akin Slsease, ss this remedy." At any rate people who are tired of pill, cathartic and so-called blood "purifiers" will find In Stuart' Calcium Wafers a far eater, nwit palatable and effective preparation. have failed In only one branch. Seven of the number who hsve passed have attained a standing entitling them to a certificate with the wnrds "with credit" and these seven are entitled to a renewal of their cer tificates without examination If they do the required professional work during the life of the certificate, thus making their eemnty certificate practically a permanent certifi cate.

At It meeting last night the Lincoln School board decided that state official re siding In Lincoln must pay tuition If their children attend the Lincoln school. This matter came about some month ago when the board asked an opinion from Attorney General Brown a to the right of the dis trict to enumerate students whe were at tending the State university and count them In on the school apportionment. The at torney general held the board could not do this. Then the board proceeded to declare that the state officers must pay tuition for their children. The state retaliated bv threatening to try to collect from this school district money alleged to have been collected from the state by Lancaster county by reason of the padded cenus. Then the school board stopped proceedings nd the state stopped talking, and Lincoln came In and got It usual apportionment from the state. Now it is going after the state officers.
