THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful it is il
Preserving Health and Beauty.

Few People Know How Useful it is in
Preserving Health and Beauty.
Nearly everybody knows that charcoal
is the safest and most efficient disinfect
ant and purifier in nature, but few realize
it's value when taken into the human
system for the same cleansing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more you
take of it the better: it is not a drug al
all, but simply absorbs the gases and i'm
purities always present in the stomach
an 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 natural and eminently
safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; it dis
infeets the mouth and throat from the
poison of catarrh
All druggists sell charcoal in one form
or another, but probably the best charcoal
and the most for the money is in Stuart's
Absorbent Lozenges; they are composed
of the finest powdered Willow charcoal
and other harmless anti-septics in tablet
form or rather in the form of large, pleas
ant tasting lozenges, the charcoal being
mixed with honey.
The daily use of these lozenges will soon
tell in much improved condition of the
general health, better complexion, sweetel
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 advise
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;
also believe the liver is greatly benefited
by the daily use of them; they cost but
twenty-five cents box at drug stores, and
although in some sense a patent prepare
ton, yet I believe I get more and better
charcoal in Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges
than in any of the ordinary charcoal
tablets

The Yosemite Club Officials
Are Again After Jimmie
Britt and Young Corbett
Latter Offers to Weigh In
at Notch Which the Cali
fornian May Agree To

FOR time yesterday afternoon Harry
- CCrbett and other officials of the
Yosemite Athletic Club were elated
over the prospect of finally bringing
together Jimmie Britt and Young Cor
bett'' in this city next month.
1t all came about through the latter
agreeing to fight the winner of the Attel-
Hanlon fight at 12S pounds, weigh in at
o'clock. AS Britt had already consented
to meet Corbett at that weight at .
o clock there seemed a possibility of a
compromise. Young Corbett' was com
municated with, but no word was re-
ceived from him.
His offer to meet either Attel or HanlOn
al 12S pounds is a foolish one, as neither
of these boxers is within six pounds OF
that weight.
Al Hereford is still hopeful of match
ing Britt and Cans. His latest offer is
for the Californian to take the entire
purse if he stays twenty rounds. In ad-
dition he agrees to allow Britt twenty
seconds in which to recuperate after be-
ing knocked down, if he is knocked down.
instead Of the customary ten seconds, as
prescribed by the Marquis of Queensberry.

TRIUMPHS OVER

Too Much for the Foot

Pierpont Ordway Gets De-
cision Over Tom Dough-

I OE SCHMID. the Indian football play
er from the Carlisle school, met his
superior at the manly art in "Mul-
doom" Mcdonald last night at the
san Francisco Athletic Club. Mcdonald
is massive colored man and knows the
fighting graft like a book. The Indian
was big and willing enough, but he spent
too much time in brushing his hair out Of
the colored man kept punching with both
mitts until Referee Alex Greggains called
it on in the second round.
The Indian was a game scrapper and
took a lot of beating without fiinching.
He did not know much about punching
and failed TO rush Mcdonald, as he should
have done. The latter hit Schmid a
punch in the eye when they first came To-
gether and this handicapped the Indian
10 certain extent.
During a mlxup in the second round the
reoskin got to the colored mans stomach
with a good punch, but he did not go
after his man. Mcdonald came to in a
minute and began to shower LOT Of
blows on the Indian. The latter went
down twice and Greggains then stopped
the mill
Pierpont OrdWsy secured the decision
over Tom DOugherty after four rounds
OF hurricane scrapping. Dougherty was
much heavier. but Ordway was game and
did a lot Of leading, never letting up. 1t
was close, but OrdWay deserved the dc
cision. Dick Highland put up a great

palm at the end of four terrific rounds

accomplish their purpose. How they en-
