Nothing is known OF the cOndi-

to suppose that she lost her deck

The Royal Month and the Royal
Disease.

Sudden changes of weather are es-
pecially trying, and probably to none
more so than to the scrofulous and con
sumptive. The progress of scrofIla dur
ing anormal October is commonly great.
We never think of scrofula-its punches,
cutaneous eruptions, and wasting of the
bodily Instrumentation thinking Of
the great good many sufferers from it
have derived from Hoods Sarsaparilla,
whose radical and permanent cures Of
this one disease are enough to make it
the most famous medicine in the world.
There is probable not a city or town
where Hoods Sarsaparilla has not prov
ed its merit in more homes than one, in
arresting and completely Graduating
scrofula, which is almost serious and
as much to be feared as its near relative,
consumption.

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 disinfec- tant and purife rin nature, but few re- alize its value when taken into the. hu- man system for the same cleansing pur- pose.
 take of 1t the better; 1t is not a drug at all, but simply absorbs the bases and im- 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 cdorous vegetables.
 Charcoal etfectually clears and improves the complexion, it whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and eminentIy safe catha:uic.
 It absorbs the injurious gases which col lect in the stomach and bowels; it disin- fects the mouth and throat from the poi son 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 stuarts 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, sweet CT breath and purer blood, and the beau fy of it is that no possible harm can re- suit from their continued use, but on the contrary great benefit.
 A Buffalo physician in speaking of the benefits of charcoal, says: 'I advise Stu arts Absorbent Lozenges to all patients suffering from gas in stomach and bow els, and to clear the complexion and purify the breath mouth and throat; l also believe the liver is greatly benefited by the daily use of them; they cost but Twenty-Five cents a box at drug stores. and although in some sense a patent preparation, yet I believe I get more and better charcoal in Stuart's Absorbent Loze &ges than in any of the ordinary Charcoal tablets" -su--tf

CHILD RESCUE IN MINNESOTA.
A Study in Sociological Conditions in

American Medicine.
 The Minnesota School for Dependent and Neglected Children serves indirectly as noble medical as sociologic function Its work is described in most admirable way by the State agent of the school in the Bulletin of Iowa Institutions for April, 1902 The little victims of pow erty, cruelty and neglect" come from the probate courts. the State assuming
 their guardianship during their minority.
 Miss Johnston shows that it is shrewd
 economy and policy, as we'll as perfect
 henevolence, to care for the children in this way, as the plan 'cuts off at its source the material that goes to fill up the public institutions The finding of homes for the pupils (no stigma is allowed to attach to their '"schooling) is the arduous but unique occupation of the State agent. How busy she must be and how delightful her work! .f
 Last year the average number out in homes and under supervision was l,123. The average cost of supervision. per cap ita. was S. A merit and demerit system in the school, called the badge system, mekes if possible for boy or girl to pc out on furlough in about year, though the average time Is about two years. The method of finding homes and of meeting all difficulties demands much tact and knowledge of human nature. as well as devotion to the work that would, we agents were the plan generally pursued. You may force but the length of your arm; you may beckon as far as one can see.'' gives a charming glimpse into Miss Johnston's method. She declares the re- suits of child rescue are better in the State institution than with the private societies.
 The boys. it is reluctantly confessed. are more reformable than the girls. The love of home is pathetically shown in the joyful announcement of a boy that he is "going home" Asked where his home is he can only say.

BRAIN FOOD
Is of Little Benefit Unless it 1
 Digested.

Digested.
 Nearly everyone will admit that as a nation we eat too much meat and too lit- tie of vegetables and the grains.
 For business men, office men and clerks, and In fact everyone engaged in seden- tary or indoor occupations, grains, milk and vegetables are much more healthful.
 OnlyFm engaged in a severe outdoor manual labor can live on a heavy meat diet and continue in health.
 As a general rule, meat once day is sufficient for all classes of men, women and children. and grains, fruit and vege- tables should constitute the bulk of food eaten.
 But many of the most nutritious foods are difficult of digestion and it is of no use to advice brain workers to eat largely of grains and vegetables where the di- gesticn is too weak to assimilate them properly.
 It is always best to get the best results fl cm our food that some simple and harm less digestive should be taken after meals to assist the relaxed digestive organs and sevsral years experience have proven Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets to be q very safe, pleasant and effective digestive and a remedy which may De taken daily with the best results.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can hardly DC CdIlcO d pdlcHt HcuiVIhS. tLcy uO not act on the bowels nor any particular organ but only on the food eaten. They supply what weak stomachs lack. pep sin diastase and by stimulating the gas- tric glands increase the natural secretion of hydrochloric acid.
 People who make daily practice of taking one or two of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal are sure to have perfect digestion which means perfect health.
 There Is no danger of forming an in- furious habit, as the tablets contain abso- lutely nothing but natural digestives; CO., coaine. morphine and simular drugs have no place in a stomach medicine. and Stu arts Dyspepsia Tablets arc certainly the best known and most popular of all stom- ach remedies.
 Ask your druggist for a fifty cent pack age of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and af- ter a weeks use note the improvement in health, appetite and nervous energy.
