MORE EMPL0 DYES.

The American Cigar Company ia
still in quest of employees and is now
contemplating advertising in the
neighbolbig country papers. The COM
pany now employees 325 people, 80 per
cent. being girls. and as it has sought
more girls through the city for several
weeks IL is still wanting operators. As
has been stated, the operating room
where the girls do their work is an
extremely comfortable and well APP
pointed place, and every conceivable
convenience is supplied. The operators
sit at long, well-constructed tables In
comfortable chairs. everything is made
pleasant for them and, as the man
ayers claim, they are considerably
more comfortable than in a good many
other places where they are employed.
Those who have learned the business
are making good wages, and it will be
only short time before all of them
are drawing full pay. The wonder b
that more girls of the city have nee
availed themselves of the opportunity
of securing for themselves a pleasant
and remunerative position.

County So1ODs viii Visit Camps Nos.
and This Afternoon.
The County Commissioners will in
spect convict camps Nos. and this
afternoon. 1t was decided some time
ago. at a meeting of the board, to Sc
lect the first available day for the in
spection, since the new camp, situated
near the Telfair swamp, and instituted
because of the great amount of work
contemplated in that locality, has new
er been subjected to an inspection.
This camp, though one of the most
latterly instituted, is next to the larg
est of the camps. 1t is situated on
hill near the Telfair road, in the Sa-
bine fields. There are about fifty or
sixty convicts employed there. In his
last report to the board, Supt. Chaplin.
commended the work done by the
camp, and it's excellent sanitary con-
dition.
The inspection will not be long one.
The commissioners will merely take a
look at the two camps, so that they
may be in a position to better under
stand the needs of the superintendent
of public roads, and have a clearer
comprehension of the reports submit
ted. Owing to business engagements
during the week it is a difficult matter
for the commissioners to visit camps
on any day other than Sunday.
The party, which will leave the city
at O'Clock, will be composed of Com
missioners Vetsburg and Paulsen and
County Attorney Cam.

THE VALUE OfCHARCOAL
Few People Know How Useful 1t is
in Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient
disinfeetant and purifier in nature. but
few realize its value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans
ing purpose.
Charcoal is remedy that the more
you take of 1t the better; it is not a
drug at ALL but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present
in the stomach and intestines ana
carries them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating on
ions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and i'm
proves the complexion, it whitens the
teeth and further acCs as a natural
and eminently safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels: If
disinfects 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 now
dered 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 a much improved condi-
ton of the general health. better COM
plexion, sweeter breath and purer
blood, and the beauty of 1t is that no
possible harm can result from their
continued use, but, on the contrary.

A Buffalo physician in speaking OF
the benefits of charcoal, says: II ad-
