NAMES COMMITTEE
ON WATER QUESTION
MAYOR DRENNEN APPOINTS FIVE
MEMBERS OF BOARD OF ALDER
MEN TO CONSIDER ADVISABLE.
ITY OF CITY OWNING WORKS.

In accordance with resolution intro
duced at the last meeting of the city
council, that the mayor appoint a COM
mlttee of five members Of the board to
devise the best ways and means for the
city to secure a water works system.
Mayor Drennen yesterday appointed the
following committees: Alderman ]. j.
Altman of the Sixth ward, Alderman
Harry Jones of the Eighth ward, Alder
man Walter Moore of the Fourth ward,
Alderman H. B. Gray of the Eighth ward
and Alderman r. H. Kerr of the Third
ward.
In regard to the resolution and the ap-
pointment of the committee Alderman
Altman, who introduced 1t, said last night
that during the six years he had been In
council, he had advocated municipal own
ership of water works system on all
proper occasions. He leaves today for
Havana, Cuba, and stated that while he
was away he would give much thought
to the question of the best ways and
means of securing 1t. Speaking further
on the subject, he said:
IT would not suggest anything along
this line just now. for the reason that
whatever 1 have I will put before the
committee at the proper time. 1 take
1t for granted that the other members
of the committee will take some course
1.-THE experience of Birmingham in the
past on the water question absolutely
requires that active, fearless and thor
ough consideration be had at once; at
the same time we should be reasonably
conservative.
Birmingham ought to own her own
the people who are here now, but for
future development purposes"

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful It Is In
Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal
Is the safest and most efficient disinfect-
ant and purifier in nature but few real
lie its value when taken into the human
system for the same cleansing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
you take of 1t the better; 1t is not drug
at all, but simply absorbs the gases and
Impurities always present IN the stom-
ach and intestiues and carries them
out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or eating onions and
other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectyally clears and i'm
proves the complexion, 1t whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural and
eminently safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect In the stomach and bowels; It
disinfects the mouth and throat from the
poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal In one form
or another, but probably the best char
coal and the most for the money is in
Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges; they are
composed of the finest powdered Willow
charcoal, and other harmless antiseptics
In tablet form or rather In the form of
large, pleasant tasting lozenges the char
coal being mixed with honey.
The daily use of these lozenges will
soon tell in much improved condition
Of the general health, better complexion,
'sweeter breath and purer blood, and the
beauty of 1t is. that no possible harm
can result from their continued use. but
on the contrary great benefit.
Buffalo physician in speaking of the
benefits of charcoal, says: IT advise
Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges to all pa
tents suffering from gas in the stomach
anu bowels, and to clear the complexion
and purify the breath, mouth and throat;
also believe the liver is greatly bene-
flied by the daily use Of them; they cost
but twenty-five cents box at drug
stores. and although in some sense a pat
ent preparation. yet believe / get moro
and better charcoal in Stuart's Absorb
ent Lozenges than any of the ordinary
charcoal tablets"
