FRANCE OFFERS
PEAGE TO CHURCH
Leaves Way Open for Pope to
Retreat From Extreme
Attitude.
PIUS PREPARES TO YIELD
Given Another Year to Save Church
Properly ' by Forming Associa
tions Bishops Voted to
Comply With Law.
PARIS, Nov. 10. Unless the Vatican
authorities cause some radical changes In
the situation, the fears of a religious
crisis resulting from the enforcement on
December 11 of the law providing for the
separation of church and state are re
garded as dissipated In consequence of
the middle course steered by the Clemen
ceau cabinet.
The extreme radicals under Mr. Combes
and M. Pellctan, who Insisted that a
policy of spoliation and persecution be
inaugurated December 11, have been ap
peased by the announcement that all
church property not claimed by cultural
associations on that date will pass under
the control of the state for attribution
to the communes at the end of the ensu
ing year. On the other hand, the
churches In the interim will remain at
llir disposal of the clergy and a road
for retreat Is left open to the Vatican
by the admission of the possibility that
church property can by state decree be
granted to associations formed before
December 11, 1907.
The speech of Minister of Public Wor
ship Brian yesterday explaining the gov
ernment's Intentions, was extremely con
ciliatory in tone and especially designed
to make it plain that the government is
not antl-rellgious. but only neutral. He
inferred deferentially to the Pope's
"moral authority," and completely dis
armed the Clericals .by his intimate
knowledge of what happened during the
locent meeting of the French Bishops,
when a rmajorlty of ten voted in favor
of complying with the law. The Cham
ber of Deputies by 376 to 98 votes ordered
the speech to be placarded at the cross
toads and throughout France.
In view of the tremendous majority in
suring Parliament's support, the cabinet
has already received intimations that the
Pope is preparing to accept the Inevitable,
or that at any rate there will be another
meeting of the episcopate shortly and
tSiat its report, which will be concilia
tory, will be confirmed.
PICTUKE OP SOCIALIST STATE
Trench Minister's Speech Causes
Conservatives to Curse Him.
PARIS. Nov. 10. Minister of Labor
Vivianl's speech in the Chamber of Depu
ties, in which he painted a picture of the
new Socialistic regime at which France
is aiming, continues to attract the ap
plause of the Socialist press and the exe
crations of the Conservatives. M. Viviani
declared that stars In the heavens which
are extinguished were never relighted,
and that, as compensation for the de
struction of the hope of a future life,
for which men's minds had finally been
emancipated, their happiness on earth
must be Increased. Dike M. Jaures, he
declared that this could only be accom
plished by the ultimate suppression of
private property, which would put an
end to the exploitation of one class by
another and permit all to share in the
riches of production.
Pope Will Xot Change Position.
ROME. Nov. 10. The speech of the
Fronch Minister of Public Instruction
and Worship, M. Brland, outlining his
government's policy toward the Cato
olic church In France, has not created
much of an impression at the Vatican,
as just such an attitude as outlined
by M. Brland has been anticipated. It
Is stated that the church will not re
cede from the ground it has taken, but
will leave the vindication of its rights
to the. wisdom of Frenchmen.

Famous Scientist Who Keeps Watch

Volcano Has Fallen In.
NAPLES. Nov. 10. At noon tday Mount
Vesuvius and the surrounding villages
were shaken up by a kind of earthquake,
which was accompanied by detonations
and followed by a considerable fall of
ashes, especially over Ottajano. which
was destroyed (Turing the eruption of last
April and is now in course of reconstruc
tion. The phenomenon caused great
alarm. Investigation showed that part

which was blown in the direction of
Pompeii and Ottajano. Thus far Naples
lias not been affected by the eruption, al
though a dark column of smoke can be
seen from this city hovering over the
crater.
Professor Matteucci, director of the
royal observatory on Mount Vesuvius, in
an interview with the Associated Press,
said :
"I do not believe this is a new erup
tion, as all the phenomena preceding such
an event are lacking. I think the rain
of ashes was caused by the slipping down
of the superior lip of the crater and that
the earth tremblings were due to water
from the recent heavy rains having
reached the fire zone inside the volcano,
producing an internal explosion.

STORY OF IMAGINARY WAR
Swedish Officer Describes How Swe
den Whips Norway.
COPENHAGEN, Nov. 10. (Special.)
A book written by a Swedish officer of
tho general staff has created quite a
sensation here, expressing as it does
the general feeling In the Swedish
army.
The author pronounces the opinion
that the dissolution of the union be
tween Sweden and Norway was only
the prologue of a g.-eat historic drama
which will be played when the present
crown prince of Sweden shall have be
come king. Sweden will, he says, build
naval stations on the western coast of
the kingdom against the protest of
Norway, which at last declares war
after having prepared for it for. years.
Sweden has, however, also been active
and Is ready to fight.
The war opens with a naval battlo
of Gothenburg, in which Swedish sub
marines destroy Norway's vessels and
the remnant of the Norwegian squad
ron is driven back to Christiana and
makes a sortie but is bottled up in
the Fjord of Christiana,
On land the Norwegians are victori
ous at first, invade Sweden and are
driven back across the frontier after
hard fighting. Then Sweden calls out
all her reserves and the Norwegians
are defeated time and again, and at
last Christiana is invested on all sides.
Swedish bluejackets in submarines
sacrifice their lives and clear the fjord
of mines, the larger vessels steam up
and destroy the entire Norwegian navy
in sight of the capital. Christiana ca
pitulates and the Swedish colors are
hoisted over Akershus.
The book, has created much bitter
feeling in Norway and it has helped
only little that the author is said to
have been esverely reprimanded by
King Oscar.
The official organ of the Swedish
Government says of the book: "Wo
had our reckoning with Norway In
1905. Whether we like it or not. It is
more than bad taste, it is criminal of
a. Swedish officer to give the world the
Rl
impression that Sweden Is thirsting for
revenge."

ORDER COUNTESS TO PROVE
Specific Evidence of Her Charges
Means Social Ostracism In Paris
and Count Hopes to Make
Her Pay Debts.
PARIS. Now 10. (Special.) Unless
signs fail. Count Boni de Castellane has
succeeded in swinging the French courts
his way and, when the verdict Is an
nounced on the suit of his wife, formerly
Anna Gould, of New York, on Thursday,
it will not be a decree of divorce, but
rather will be an order for the appoint
ment of a commission to inquire into the
allegation made on behalf of her.
When M. Bonnet, attorney for the
Count, raised the point that the allega
tions made against the Count could not
be considered unless specific cases were
proven, he threw a bomb into the camp
of the applicant for divorce that is likely
to be 'far-reaching. He Is now being
backed by his creditors, who claim that
he, by insisting that the Countess prove
her charges, will compel her to withdraw
her application for divorce, ' pay his debts
and consent to a separation on terms
that will be most advantageous to her
noble spouse. They argue that neither
the Countess nor her attorneys can take
chances of complete ostracism by telling
all they assume to know and will settle
rather than make good on the proof that
they have now at hand.
The Countess and her attorneys have
felt very confident that she would get
hei- divorce, and the rumor that an in
quiry had been decided upon, which is
only a rumor, but is well authenticated.
Is a decided disappointment. On the
other hand, the Count's lawyers are jubi
lant, feeling that they have won their
case already;

What Sulphur Does
For the Human Body in Health and
Disease. '
COSTS NOTHING TO TRY.
The mention of sulphur will recall to
many of us the early days when our
mothers and grandmothers gave us our
dally dose of sulphur and molasses every
Spring and Fall.
It was the universal Spring and Fall
"blood purifier" tonic and cure-all, and,
mind you, this old-fashioned remedy was
not without merit.
The idea was good, but the remedy was
crude and unpalatable, and a large quan
tity had to be taken to get any effect.
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 tablespoonful
of the crude sulphur.
In recent years research and experi
ment have proven that the best sulphur
for medicinal use is that obtained from
Calcium (Calcium Sulphide) and sold in
drug stores under the name of Stuart's
Calcium Wafers. They are small chocolate-coated
pellets and contain the active
medicinal principle of sulphur in a highly
concentrated, effective form.
Few people are aware of the value of
this form of sulphur in restoring and
maintaining bodily vigor and health; sul
phur acts directly on the liver and ex
cretory organs and purifies and enriches
the blood by the prompt elimination of
waste material.
Our grandmothers knew this when
they dosed us with sulphur and molasses
every Spring and Fall, but the crudity
and Impurity of ordinary flowers of sul
phur were often worse than the disease,
and cannot compare with the modern
concentrated preparations of sulphur, of
which Stuart's Calcium Wafers Is un
doubtedly 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 experimenting
with sulphur remedies, soon found that
the sulphur from Calcium was superior
to any other form. He says: "For liver,
kidney and blood troubles, especially when
resulting from constipation or malaria.
I have been surprised at the results ob
tained from Stuart's Calcium Wafers. In
patients suffering from boils and pimples
and even deep-seated carbuncles, I have
repeatedly seen them dry up and disap
pear in four or five days, leaving the skin
clear and smooth. Although Stuart's Cal
cium Wafers is a proprietary article and
sold by druggists and for that reason
tabooed by many physicians, yet I know
of nothing so safe and reliable for con
stipation, liver and kidney troubles and
especially in all forms of skin diseases
as this remedy.
At any rate people who are tired of
pills, cathartics and so-called blood "puri
fiers'" will find in Stuart's Calcium Waf
ers, a far safer, more palatablo and
effective preparation.
