THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful II Is in
Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal
Is the safest and most efficient disin-
fectant 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 il the better; IL is not a drug at
all but simply absorbs the gases and
impurities always present in the stomach
and intestines and carries them out of
the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking, or after eating onions
and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal efrectually clears and improves
the complexion, ii whitens the teeth and
further acts as a natural and eminently
safe cathartic.
It absorhs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels: il dis
infects the mouth and throat from the
poison of catasrh.

or another. but probably the best char

ted to him that has an opportunity to
prove his honesty
After referring to his years of hard
study in College, followed by ten years
work as teacher and lecturer, as a prep
aration for that greatest of all works,
the work OF the Christian Ministry, Rev
Pannel said he doubted not the sixteen
years of experience in the Ministry had
been fraught with many crosses, trials,
and temptations. but without these
things, we cannot attain unto what we
call virtue. IF there were no sickness
or accidents, the science of medicine
and skill in surgery would be unknown.
If there was no such thing as cold, hun
ger, and ignorance, we should have no
need of clothes, shelter. food, fuel, and
books His concluding thought was that
the homes, cities, the pulpits, the church
of God, the world, want just such men.

versary was the Literary Celebration on
