Few People Know How Useful II f. In
PreservinE Health and Beauty.
Nearly everybody knows that charcoal 10
the safest and most efheient disinfectant
and purifier in nature. but few realise It's
value when taken into the human system
for the same cleansing purpose.
Charcoal is = remedy that the moro you

but simply absorbs the gases and impuri-
ties always present in the stomach and In
t~estines and carries them out OF the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after smok-
ing and drinking or after eating onions aud
other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal efectually clears and improves
the complexion, Il whitens the teeth and
further acts as q natural and eminently
safe eathartio.
Il Absorbs the injurious gases which col
lect In the stomach and bowels; It disin-
Ieets the mouth and throat from the poison
OF eatarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one form or
another. but probably the best charcoal and
the most for tie money Is stuart's Abb
sorbent Lozengss; they are composed Of the
nnest powdered willow charcoal and other
harmless Gntiseptics in tablet form, or,

Hint. For the Laundre.s.

To wash very grimy things, such as
overalls and working shirts, mix to-
gether equal parts of kerosene, lime
water and turpentine. Shake the mix
ture in q bottle until creamy. then add
a cupful to a boiler of clothes. 1t can
also be used with hot suds. rubbing
directly upon dirty grease spots, allow
ing to stand five minutes before wash
ing out and then rinsing in hot water.
In dampening clothes for ironing hot
water is much better than cold. The
moisture is more even, and the clothes
are sooner ready for the iron. Knit
underwear. stockings and other rough
pieces should be merely run through
the wringer when dry or folded and
laid in a smooth pile with Il heavy
board and weight on top, the labor of
ironing being done away with.-Rural

without increase in pay.
