An? other thlng, Rlchmond real ostnte has been too cheap all the tlme. It is cheaper at to-dny's prlces than that of any'city of its slze ln tho Cnltod States. I know what I am tnlklng about now and know thls to be true. Rlchmond people aro eotting to be moro united ln a business way than thoy used to be; thoy nre flnd? lng out that lt ls better for all concerned to pull together, and they nre waklng up to a renllzatlon of the posslbllltles of Rlchmond and reallzlng what a great future Is boforo us. We nre to-dny dolng moro business than nny clly of our slze ln the. South. Wo havo better facfdtles for dolng business, nnd we nre taking nd vantnge of them, und wo nre dolr.g'.thO' business.

Then, again, wo all know that Rlchmond Is the most: congested town In thc country.

What Sulphur Does For the Human Body in Health and Disease Tjia mtmtton of sulphur wlll rocall tc many' of us the early days whon our mdthcrs and grandmuthers gave us our dally doso of sulphur and molasscs every dprtng and fall. It was tho unlversal spring and fall "blood pnrlflor," tonlc and cure-all, und, mind you, thls old-fashloned remedy was not. wlthout mcrlt. ?The Ideu was good. but tho remedy waj crude nnd unpalatablo, nnd ji largo quan tlty had to be taken to get nny effect. Nowndays we get all tho beneflclal ef? fects of sulphur In a palatable, concen trated form, so that a slngle graln ls far more .effectlve than ,'a? tablespoonful of the criide sulphur, '" *'} In recent years, resoarch and experi-, mont havo proven that the best sulphur for modlcinal uso ls thnt obtalncd from Calclum (Calclum Sulphide) and sold in drug stores under the name of Stuart'a^ Calclum Wafers. They aro small choco late-coated pellets, and contaln the actlvo medlclnnl prlnclple of sulphur in a hlghly concentrated, effectlve form. ?Few peoplo aro awaro of the value of thls form' of sulphur In restorlng und malntaliiing bodily vlgor and health: sul p'Mtr acts dlrectly- on the llver and excro tory orgnnfl. and purlfles and enriohos tho blood by tho prompt eiimlnation of waste materlal. .... Our grandmothors knew <his when thoy dosed us wlth sulphur nnd molasses overy spring and fall. but the criKiity and lm purlty of ordinary flowers of sulphur were often worso than tho disease, and cannot compnro.wlth tho modern concentrated prcparatlons of sulphur. of which Stuart'a Calclum Wafers is undoubtedly tho best and most wldely used. .Thoy are tho natural nntldoto for llver and kidney troubles, and curo constlpa tlon nnd purlfy tho blood In a way that often aurpiises patlont and physlclan allke.
