TIE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful 1t Is ir
Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal.
is the safest and most efficient disinfect-
ant and purifier in nature, but few rea.
lize its value when taken into the hu-
nan system for the same cleansing pur
pose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the mora
you take of it the better; it is not a
drus at all, but simply absorbs the gases
anC impurities always present in the
stomach and intestnes. and carries them
out OF the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking. drinking or after eating onions
ard other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and i'm
rroves the complexion. 1t whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural and
e,ninently safe cathartlc.
IT absorbs the injurious, gases which
collect in he stomach and bowels: it dis
meets the mouth and throat from the
poison Of catairh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one form
or another. but probably the best char
goa, and the most for the money Is In
Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges: they are
com posed of the finest powdered willow
charcoal and other harmless antiseptics
in tablet FORM or rather in the form OF
Ia rye. pleasant tasting lozenges, the char
coal being mixed with honey.
( The daily use of these lozenges will

If the general health, better complexion.
syeeter breath and purer blood. and the
beauty Of it is that no possible harm
car result from their continued use, but
on the contrary. great benefit
4 Buffalo physician. in speaking of the
benefits Of charcoal, says: Il advise Stu
ats Absorbent Lozenges to all patients
suffering from gas in the stomach am,
bowels. and it clears the complexion and
ruriles the breath, mouth and throat; I
also believe the liver IS greatly benefited
by the daily use of them: they cost but
twenty-five cents box at drug stores.

Pages have been printed on the
care Of machinery and as one
travels through the country he is
greeted at almost every farm house
by a lot of machinery that has
been left to stand out in the rain
and snow. In the fall of the year
the farmer comes to town and buys
a new binder, takes it home and
harvests his crop, the machine is
then placed along side of some
shed or is haulel out to some place
wLere it will make a good snow
break. The chances are that the
canvass is not taken off and the
knife is left in to get all covered
with rust and when the farmer
takes the binder out the next fall
to cut his crop he wonders why it
will not work and he lays all the
blame on the machine, says they
