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 disenfect- ant and purifier in nature, but few real ize 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 at all, but simply absorbs the gases and im- purities always present in the stomach and intestines and carries them out of the system.
 Charcoal sweetens the bi eath after smoking, drinking or after eating onions and other odorous vegetables.
 Charcoal effectually clears and improves the complexion, 1t whitens the teeth and further acts as 8 natural and eminently safe cathartc.
 It absorbs the injurious gases which col lect in the stomach and bowels; 1t disn- fleets 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 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 charcoal being mixed with honey.
 The daily use of these lozenges will soon tell in 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.
 A Buffalo physician in speaking of the benefits of charcoal, says: T advise Stu arts Absorbent Lozenges to all patients suffering from gas in stomach and bow els, and to clear the complexion and puri- fy the breath, mouth and throat; 1 also believe the liver is greatly benefited by the daily use of them; they cost but twen- ty-five cents a box at drug stores, and al- though in some sense patent prepara- tion, yet believe I get more and better charcoal in Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges than In any of the ordinary charcoal tab- let's"

SENATOR GoRMAN's RETURN.
He Will Go to Saratoga for Conferences
With Political Leaders.

Senator German will reach New York the
latter part of this week, returning from his
trip to Europe, and will be welcomed at the
pier by many prominent democrats. 1t Is
said that the senator probably will go to
Saratoga for the month of s..ugust instead
of coming directly back to Maryland.
The senator's first concern, politically,
will be with the Maryland gubernatorial
situation. Candidates and policies are in
the air pending hint from the acknowl-
edged state leader. The senator will be
visited at Saratoga. 1t is expected. by the
prominent party workers, and will open the
campaign at long distance range.
Meanwhile, however. the interest in the
presidential situation will grow apace. At
Saratoga, If he goes there, as at present he
is said to intend, he would be brought In
contact with the Tammany leaders and the
state democratic managers of New York.
Doubtless also he would be visited by in
fuential democrats from all sections of the
country, and some presidential log rolling
would be inevitable.
The German stock has advanced several
points within the past month. Talks with
democrats from different sections indicate
a growing tendency to turn to the Mary
land leader. 1t is expected that an addi-
tional rise will follow his return from Eu-
rope and mingling again in politics, state
and national.

the same vessel. But the ark was not left
unguarded. Private Allison, an expert me-
chanic, and another workman. stayed down
to keep watch about the place. They used
the small naphtha launch for trips to the
club house at Quantico island, where they
got their meals. Meanwhile the boat house
was firmly fastened.
Questions as to the extent of private
Allison's authorized power in defending
the ark from invasion are answered by the
statement that he IS empowered to cast
overheard intruders found on the craft In
the day time and to shoot those discovered
aboard at night. To n reporter the guard
stated that with his army gun he could

whether the inventor is aboard, but 1t is
known that he is not.
1t appears that most of the preliminarieS
for a test have been completed and that
the experts are really resting on their oars

this is is unexplained. but 1t may be the
