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 purifie rin nature. but few re- alize Its value when taken into the hu- man system for the same cleansing pur- pose.
 ake of 1t the better; it is not a drug at all but simply absorbs the bas,s s and i'm purities always present in the stomach and ntestines and carries them opt of the system.
 Charcoal sveetens the breath after smoking drinking or after eating onions md other odorous vegetables.
 Charcoal effectually clears and improves the complexion 1t whtens the teeth and further acts as natural and eminently 7afe Catha"tic.
 It absorbs the injurious gases which col feet in the stomach and bowels; 1t disin- 'ects the mouth and throat rom the poi son of catarrh.
 All druggists sell charcoal in one form lr another. but probably the best char ca! and the most for the money is in composed of the finest powdered Willow harcoal and other harmless antiseptics F tablet form or rather in the form of arge. pleasant tasting lozenges, the char oai being mixed with honey.
 The daily use of these lozenges will soon ell in a much improved condition of the general health, better complexion. sweet breath and purer blood, and the beau " of 1t IS, that no posslple haLm can re- ,ult from their continued use. but on the ontrary. great benefit.
 A Buffalo physician in speaking of the .tnefits of charcoal. says: II advise Stu tIt's Absorbent Lozenges to all patients lfferirg from gas in stomach and bow ts and to clear the complexion and urify the breath mouth and throat; so believe the liver is greatly benefited the daily use of them; they cost but twenty-five cents box at drug sores nd although in some sense a patent preparation. yet I believe I get more and better charcoal in Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges than in any of the ordinary ,ha~coal tablets" su-tf

A Basket Ball Handicap

Mischievous girls at a country place planed a basket ball match between them selves and some young men, making the condition that during the game the boys should wear skirts and stays and pinned on hats as women in fashionable athletic games do.

A Limitation to Labor Disputes.

Pittsburg Dispatch.
 While 1t would be much better to abol- ish strikes and lockouts altogether. it is nevertheless important to have definite decision defining the limits within which each side to a controversy of that char acter may go. Public opinion will thus be more capable of judging of the merits of disputes and the maintenance of law and order will be rendered much easier.

 Selma, Dec. 6. Tonight at o'clock Miss Will Nell Lavender of Rome gave a recital to a chosen few of her friends at the resi- dence of her aunt, Miss Mary Lavender, on Selma Street. Miss Will Nell Laven- der is one of the sweetest singers in the South and she never fails to delight and charm her audiences. Those who had the pleasure of hearing her were delighted, and her rich, highly cultivated voice car ried all away who heard 1t. Sunset" by Dudley Buck, was a selection highly appreciated. The rendition of '"Toreador' from the opera Carmen delighted all who have an ear for classical music. As an encore she sang 'Suwanee River" and there was not a person in the sound of her voice but who was deeply touched by the notes of this familiar old song, so dear to the heart of every true Southern CT.
 She delighted both the musically edu- cated and others. Immediately after she had sung Suwanee River with so much effect and pathos she rendered some selec- tions from the opera Sampson and Delilah" and it was difficult to determine which she excelled in the pathetic old pieces of the difficult operadc airs: 'sFosti sCSood- bye"'w beautifully render ed and the Earl King came in for a round of applause.
 The gifted singer knew how to catch the ear of the classical as well as the un- educated ear, and when she was encored would respond with some old familiar tune that would fairly carry her hearers away with delight. Those who had the pleasure of hearing this gifted vocalist are indebted to her for a rare evening of genuine enjoyment in the realm of song.
