A Largo Crowd Expected.

The hotels of Washington declare that
everything points to the largest crowd at
the National Encampment in the history
of the city, as large again as the crowd
OF 10 years ago. The larger hotels have
stopped booking guests, being full to the
limit. OF course, there are plenty of out
side accommodations, ard rooms can be
secured at very reasonable rates. 1t will
be the best plan for all who possibly can
to secure rooms through the Public Com
fort Committee, NJ. l. Weller, Chairman,
before coming to Washington, for with
the address in hand, one can go directly
to quarters without trouble, Immediately
on arrival. 1t should be remembered that
there is not a city in the United States
where the electric car service is as fine
as it is in Washington, and no difference
il rooms are well out, the transfer system
Is SO fine that one fare will usually take
you to any part Of the city.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful ii is in Pre-
serving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal
is the safest and most efficient disinfect-
ant and purifier in nature, but few realize
its value when taken into the human sys-
t, n for the same cleansing purpose.
Charcoal is remedy that the more you
take of it the better; it is not a drug at
all, but simply absOrbs the gases and i'm
purities always present in the stomach
and intestines and carries them out Of
the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating onions
and other OdOrous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and improves
the complexion, it whitens the teeth and
further acts as a natural and eminentIy
safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels: it dis
infects 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 it is, that no possible harm can
result from their continued use, but on
the contrary, great benefit.
A Buffalo physician in speaking of the
benefits Of charcoal, says: 81 advice
Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges to all pa
tients suffering from gas in stomach and
bowels, and to clear the complexion and
purify the breath, mouth and throat; I
BY the daily use Of them; they cost but
twenty-five cents q box at drug stores,
and although In some sense patent prep
aration, yet believe get more and bet
ter charcoal In Stuart's Absorbent
Lo1enges than IN any Of the ordinary char
coal tablets
