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 disinfect-
ant and purifier in nature, but few realize
its 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 drug at
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 a natural and eminently
safe cathartic.
1t 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 charcoal
and the most for the money is in Stuart's
Absorbent Lozenges; they are composed
Oh Tic uuSSt pOWuSlCc w iliO" SAoiS Odiy
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, 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: Il 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-fiv cents box at drug stores, and
although in some sense a patent prepare
ton, yet L believe / get more and better
charcoal in Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges
than in any of the ordinary charcoal
tablets

FRIDAY II LUCKY DAY.

Contrary Ia all traditions aud to
the firm belief of the civilized world.
Friday IN the lnckicat dn, Of the week
| Such iE the conclusion reached by n
competent aud pninstnking statiatician.
the result of whose labors are exploited
In the Chicago Tribune.
After thorough search Of statiHti.
cnl tables he discovered that for great
calamities and disasters. Monday IL
the most uulncky day and Friday IN
the luekiest.
A summary of the results shows the
following:
The worst day for murder sunday,
The worst day for fires Monday
The worst day for shipwreekA ='
Thursday.
The worst day TOR railroad accidents
Friday.
The worst day for floods Saturday.
II will be- seen that the fears of
those who refrain from beginning u
journey on Friday are to some extent
justified. But In nothing but railroad
accidents doea Friday sustain its rep.
utation. having n very small record
for shipwrecks. murders and fires. A
table Of averages for the various days
of the week shows that 10. 23 per cent
Of the disasters took place ON Friday
the normal averages would have
been over IA per cent. that 10 90 per
cent occurred on II Tuesday. Il i-s
per cent. on u Thursday. II l.2 per
cent on II Wednesday. i6 ~ per cent
on both Saturday and Sunday. and i3
2-.3 per cent ON Monday.
Wednesday seems to be the best day
which to begin journey. We are re.
minded also that tho Columbus sailed
ON his voyage Of discovery on u Fri.
day. first sighted land on u Friday.
and discovered the American cont.
nent on Friday. This day is Ger.
tainly lucky one in American his.
tory. The battle Of Bunker Hill was
fought on Il Friday the motion Of
JohnAdams that the United States ARE
and ought to be DEPENDENT was
made on Friday and the Merimnc was
sunk In Santiago harbor on Friday.
W. might add that the Mafower land.
I'd on n Friday. February a.i7ss.
The anti Friday superstition Is pro-
pably due to the fact that Christ was
cruciflcd on that day. Past records
however seem to establish beyond
question that Friday ia not an unlucky
daybut one Of good omen. Advocate.
