The papers were never so filled with
advertisements of remedies that will
cure every known disease. as they are
today: these are invariably accom-
panied by letters from people, testify
ing in the strongest terms to the virtue
and merit of the particular preparation
advertised; but because so much is
claimed for the medicine, it has come
TO the point where most readers regard
such testimonials as pure fakes" and
made up out of whole cloth.

practical and sane a man as any wise
sporting man could ask, sitting in the

told this story:

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

Nearly everybody knows that car
coal is the safest and most efficient dis
infectant and purifier in nature, but
few realize its value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans
ing purpose
Charcoal is remedy that the more
you take of il the better; it is not a
drug at all, but simply absorbs the
gases and Impurities always present in
the stomach and intestines and carries
them out Of the system.
Charcoal sWeetens the breath after
smoking. drinking. or after eating on
ions and other odOrouS vegetables.
Charcoal efTectually clears and i'm
proves the complexion, it whitenS the
teeth and further acts as a natural and
eminently safe cathartic.
It absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; II
disinfectS the mouth and throat from
the poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another, but probably the best
charcoal and the most for the money
is in Stuart'S Absorbent LozenSes; 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
I lozenges. the charcoal being mixed with

EXPLOSION OF FURNACE.
Windows Are Smashed in Emery
Holmes Apartment Building.


. Accompanied by a report which
aroused every one in the vicinity. and
with force that blew out a portion Of
the walls of the, building and smashed
out window panes. the huge furnace in
the apartment house of Mrs. Emery
Holmes. at State street and Canyon
road. exploded at O'Clock last night
IT was the result of gases. which had
accumulated becoming ignited.
The fires in the furnaces had been
banked for the night and the door
closed. The explosion occurred with
out warning, and chunks of fire, with
great clouds of smoke and dust, were
whirled through windows and doors.
Firemen assign the reason of the ex-
plosion 10 the gases which were gem
Grated by the fire and which were con-
fined in the furnace. They became ig-
nited and exploded. a feat which is
frequently accomplished by small
stove
The fire department was notified. and
great volumes of smoke were issuing
from every aperture on their arrival.
Rushing at once into the basement
where the furnace is located the men
began removing the brands of fire
which were scattered over the floor.
Again. without warning, similar ex-
plosion occurred, which, however, was
of less violence than its predecessor.
The room was filled with smoke and
the men were forced into the street.
Windows were smashed by the first
explosion, and a portion of the wall
which surrounds one of the windows
was blown out by the explosion. Aside
from that slight damage. no serious re-
suits followed che explosion

Why the French Schools Were Closed.

The apparent brutality exerted recently
In France in driving out the sisters of
the religious orders from their schools,
because they refused to close them at the
command of the French government, is
concisely and clearly explained in an
article in the North American Review
for October, by Walter Littlefield. Under
the title, The Associations Law in
France, MIR. Littlefield tells the inside
story of this trouble in all its real sig
nificance. The demonstration of the
army in the Dreyfus scandal he traces TO
the education of army men by religious
orders. whose pupils are generally taught
10 regard the end and not the means
Mr.. IittlefieId is the chief authority in
this country on the Dreyfus case, and is
thoroughly cOnversant with the work
of the Waldeck-Rousseau ministry and
the present strange and serious conditions
threatening France.

CHANGES OF ROUTE.
Work on the Suburban Line Pro-
crossing Satisfactorily.

The grading for the Salt Lake & Sub
urban railroad is progressing satisfac-
torily. Owing to the changes that have
been made i'm the original plans, ana
the fact that other changes are con-
templated, a small force of men is en-
gagged on the work for the present.
The line will enter the city at Tenth
South street, and is mapped to go
through Third East, then Second East
street to First South street. From this
point the route may undergo some
changes. The work is being done under
the personal direction of Engineer Guy

Death resulted almost instantly,

day the body was in the, most peculiar
posture in which a dead man was
probably ever found. Resting several
inches above the floor in his right
arm and right foot, the body was rigid.
The head was drawn back toward the
neck, indicating a strychnine poison
ing. Between the fingers of the dead
man was a half-burnt cigarette. On
a dresser near the body was an empty
glass and an unopened package labeled
--TriOval.'' Nothing was left in the
empty bottle to tell the character OF

Crystal went into the bar and Dor
rowed a lead pencil from the bar

to his wife.
