MIRACLE ALONE AvERTs DISASTER
Lake Boat Hits Hidden Obstruction,
Almost Breaking I'm Two, Then
Drives Across FOamIns waters
with stoke Hold Empty.

CHICAGO, April 1s.-with a nfty-mile
gale driving It up lake Michigan and three
miles Of roaring water between It and the
shore, the big steel steamer Saranac, of
the Lehigh Valley line, came near figuring
In the greatest marine disaster the lake
has seen in years. Twice the big freighter
struck a sunken obstruction. and naval
architects today declared 1t a miracle that
the vessel did not break in two and sink
with all hands. ~
Not until the hull of the vessel was bare
at a dry dock was the full extent OF the
injuries known. The survey showed twenty
frames and stanchions broken, three Inn
mense deck beams shattered and bolts and
rivets started in all portions of the ship.
So near did the boat come to dividing that
for seventy feet along its deck the heavy
steel plates are bent and twisted. Repairs
will take several weeks and will cost $780,
600.
The accldent. to the Saranac was at mid
night Thursday, a short distance north of
Sarne. When the boat struck the fremen
deserted the stoke hold, but were driven
below decks again by the engineers. The
temporary desertion caused a low steam
pressure. The boat was hardly able to get
its head into the sea and in going about
was boarded by immense wayesp which
swept everything movable from the decks
and swept the aft cabin. All the flremen we're
new men and they we're panic stricken. So
frightened did two Of them become that
they tainted and another, Richard Sauers,
lost his mind before the ship reached Mil
waukee.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL
rev People Know How Useful ~ is IN
prrHcrvfnn Health and neauty.

rev People Know How Useful ~ a. IN
P~rcservinE Health and Beauty.
Nearly everybody knows that charcoal is
the safest and most %eficient disinfectant
rnd purifier in nature. but few realise its
value when taken into the human system
for the same cleansing purpose.
Charcoal lie a remedy that the more you
take OF Il the better; II is not a drug At ali.
but simply absorbs the gases and impuri-
ties always present In the stomach and in
~testines and carries them out Of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after smok-
ing and drinking or after eating onions and
ether odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and improves
the complexion. II whitens the teeth and
further acts as a natural and eminently
safe csthartic.
II absorbs the injurious gases which coll
iect in the stomach and bowels; II disin-
tects 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 tie money Is Stuart's Alb
norbent Lozengesj they are composed Of the
finest powdered willow charcoal and other
harmless antiseptics in tablet form, or,
rather. in the form of large. pleasant tast-
ing loEenges, the charcoal being mixed with
honey.
The daily use OF these lozenges will soon
tell in q much improved condition Of the
general health, better complexion, sweeter
breath and purer blood. and the beauty Of II
is. that nc 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: II advise
6tuart's Absorbent Lozenges to all patients
suffering from gas in the stomach and bow
els, and to clear the complexion and purify
the breath. mouth and throat; l also be-
lieve the liver Is greatly benefited By ths
daily use Of them; they cost but twenty-five
cents a box at drug stores. and although in
some sense a patent preparation, yet be-
lieve ] get more and better charcoal IN
stuart's Absorbent Lozengea than In any Il
