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 purifier in nature, but few realize it's value when taken into the hu- man system for the same cleansing pur- pose.
 Charcoal is a remedy that the more you take of it 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 onions and other odorous vegetables.
 Charcoal effectually clears and improves 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: 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 antisep- ties in tablet form, or rather in4the form of large, pleasant tasting lozenges the
 
 The daily use of these lozenges will soon tell in a 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.
 Buffalo physician, In speaking of the benefits of charcoal, says: 'I advise Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges to sall pa tients suffering from gas in stomach and bowels. and to clear the complexion and purify the breath, mouth and throat; I also believe the liver is greatly bene- fted by the daily use of them they cost but twenty-five cents a box at drug stores. and although in some sense a pat ent preparation. yet I believe l get more and better charcoal in Stuarts Absorbent Iozenges than in any of the ordinary charcoal tablets"

SELMA.
Police Authorities Mystified Over
 We'll Planned Burglary.

Selma, October (Speeial)-The po- lice authorities are up against one of the deepest planned and all but greatly suc- eessful burglaries ever committed in this vicinity There is mystery enough to stagger Sherlock Holmes and the whole Pnkerton force.
 Last night about 3 o'clock a negro watchman, Alex Car, saw white boy come out of the stairway leading to the third story of the Robbins building on Alabama street, where the Dragons armory is located. Shortly afterwards he heard noises that were suspicious. and hastening off for an officer found Dr. c. Ritter instead and together they went up in the armory There they found dozen suits of clothes and as many extra pairs of pants, a large quantity of socks and two overcoats, their appearance showing that they had been thrown through the open windows of the hall from the roof of the wholesale depart ment building of Eliasberg Brothers. No clue to the burglar or burglars can be found.
 Last night about 10:S0 o'clock fire broke out in F. s. Browns kchen, in the rear of his residence, corner or Alabama and Green streets. The flames were quickly communicated to the main build ing which is a two-story brick affair and the entire roof was burned off and much damage done. The loss is estimated at $500 with only $l5OO insurance.
 Nine hundred and ninety-nine bales of cotton were received in Selma on yester- day and the receipts today will go be- yond that figure in all likelihood. Sell mas weekly receipts are about five thousand bales, which means about the equivalent to a pay roll of $250,0O0. The average bale of cotton is bringing 9 cents. .. sDSN
 The old baiidinss that stood on the Elks' home lot on Water and Lauderdale streets have been removed by Contractor Purvis and work on digging the founda- tions will begin next week.

n ELVIC catarrh is a phrase coined
 by Dr. Hartman, covering all
 that large class of diseases that used to be known as female weakness. The lower portion of the abdomen is called by anatomists the pelvis. The organs contained in this portion of the body are known as the pelvic organs. There are several of them, very deli cate and very subject to catarrh. Few women escape entirely catarrh of these organs. While each case pre- sents some minor difference as to de tail, they are all in reality alike.
 Pelvic catarrh, therefore, is a gym
