near st. Anthony in this county. 1t is re-
garded as so remarkable by the physicians
in this part OF the Country that they are
discussing with considerable interest the
theory that the disease is hereditary. About
one year ago Thomas Dunn, a son of Mr..

after a few days of suffering died, the
symptoms being those OF appendicitis. Nc
post-mortem was had, however, to discover
the fact. A month later another son named
Harry was taken Ill and. operation for APP
pendicitis was performed, the appendix be-
ing found to be badly involved. He died as a
result of the disease, the operation not be-
ing successful. A few months after this
death Bridget Dunn, a daughter, was OPP
Grated on for the disease, and then later
on another daughter. Dolly; then William,
a son. These three were successful and the
patients recovered. Yesterday ]. e. Dunn,
jr,, of the same family submitted to an OPP
Grafton for the same disease, making FIVE
operations in the family for appendicitis In
one year, and there seems no doubt that
the death of Thomas Dunn was also due
TO the disease.

settlement with Men, Terms of
Which Are Not Made Public.

gether with President John c. Reese Of the
miners union for Iowa and Mr.. Sharp OF
the mine workers. both Of Abba, held a
convention at Lehigh last night to arbitrate
the differences between the miners and
mine owners.
The operators claim hat the miners, to
whom coal is sold at cost, have been taking
more than they need and have been re-
failing it to their peighbors and others at
aNproht. For this reason the supply thus
sold to the miners has been limited by the
operators. The miners resent the charge
and have threatened to strike. An amic-
able settlement, however, has been reached,
the terms of which have not been given to

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL

Few People Know How Useful IL is In
2 PreservinE Health and Beauty.
Nearly everybody knows that charcoal is
the safest and most emcient disinfectant
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 a drug at all,
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
other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal efeetually clears and improves
the complexion, 1t whitens the teeth and
further acts as a natural and eminsntly
safe cathartic.
II absorbs the injurious gases which coll
lect in the stomach and bowels; it disin-
fects the mouth and throat from the po son
Of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one form or
another, but probably the best charcoal and
the most for the money is stuart's Alb
sorbent Lozengss; they arc comp sed Ct the

A Buffalo physician. in speaking Of the
benefits OF charcoal, says: Il advise
stuart's Absorbent Lozenges to all patients
suffering from gas in the stomach and bow
