THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful it is in Pre-.
serving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal
IS the safest and most efficient dislnfectant
and purifier in nature, but few realize its
value when taken into the human system
or the same cleansing purpose.
Charcoal is remedy that the more you
take of it the better; it is not a drug at
all, but simply absorbs the gases and inn
iurities 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 effectually clears and improves
the complexion, it whitens the teeth end
further acts as natural and eminently
safe catharatic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which col
,ect in the stomach and bowels; it disin-
.ects the mouth and throat from the poison

All druggists sell charcoal in one form
or another, but probably the best charcoal
aud the most for the money is in Stuart's
Absorbent Lozenges; they are composed
of the finest powdered Willow charcoal,
and other harmless antiseptics in tablet
form or rather in the form of large, pleas

mixed with honey.

benefits of charcoal, says: Il advise

WASHINGTON o. THURSDAY JANUARY 1908

Gen. JEFF. G. Dnvis's Corps had been
left above JonesborO, and Gen. Garrard's
cavalry was still farther back, and the
latter was ordered to send back to Atlanta
and ascertain the exact truth and the real
situation of affairs. But the same night,
viz. SEPT. 4. courier arrived from Gen.
Slocum reporting the fact that the enemy
had evacuated Atlanta. blown up seven
trains of cars, and had retreated on the
McDOnough road. Gen. Slocum had en-
tered and taken possession on the I'd of
September. The object of my movement
against the railroad was therefore already
reached and concluded. and as it was idle
to pursue our enemy in that wooded coun-
try with view to his capture, | gave
orders on the 4th for the army to pre-
pare to move back slowly to Atlanta.
''Ou the 9Th we drew back to the VI
cinity OF Jonesb0ro. five miles. where we
remained Il day. On the 9TH we moved to

next day to the camps selected: viz. the
Army of the Cumberland grouped around
about Atlanta. the Army of the Tennessee
about East Point, and that of the Ohio
ut Decatur. where the men now occupy
clean and healthy camps"
THE NEWS IN WASHINGTON.
News of the capture Of Atlanta was
telegraphed to Washington on Sept. 3.
President Lincoln, Secretary Stanton and
Gen. Halleck at once gave to the public
information Of the great event. The peo-
ple throughout the loyal States expressed
great gratificat ton and enthusiasm Mt the
result. Thousands of homes had been
made desolate by the immense losses OF
the four months campaign: but there was

Impotence, they might have slipped ~

Hereafter he would be subordinate. He
regarded Dan as a brother. and he had
presumed upon this relationship: he had
been insuhordinate-in a slight degree, Il
is true; yet. under the awful shadow OF
death impending his guilt seemed great,
and he mentally vowed amendment. Dan
was his leader and he had no envy; he
knew Morgan was superior, and was glad
to know it: hereafter he would be obedient,
and would strive to curb this natural, or
unnatural impatience, which had led to
such fearful result.
Morgan knew that Sency must die. and
that the end was very near. Already the
mind of the sufferer was beginning to
wander.
Lay me down to Sleep" he muttered
George Sency burst into sobs.
The men had, unavaiIingly. tried all
their simple means for stanching the flow

laughed, and fell back dead.
For a minute no one spoke.
Then the Sergeant ordered Armstrong
to call Lewis, and he helped to place the
body across a masterless horse, and the
little party, Morgan leading, took up the
march again, this time afoot.

Yet gentle women were there, and the sad
rites Of religion were not wanting.
Lighted by Armstrong, Morgan read the
burial service, while their comrades bowed

Total killed, 1883; total wounded, a.
S27; total missing, 4,70S.
These numbers do not include those
who, overcome by the fatigues, exposures
and hardships of the campaign, became
sick and afterwards died Of disease.
The losses of the Confederate army
equaled, if they did not exceed those of
the Union army. In fact, study of the
tactics and strategy adopted by the Union
Generals during this campaign shows that
theirs was an offensiye-defensive cam
paign. The constant movement against tn z
TANKS of the Confederate army forced
their Generals to assault the Union de-
lenses more frequently than their intrcnch-
ments were assaulted by the Union army.
In fact, with the single exception of the
assault upon Kenesaw, the policy Of not
attacking strong defensive works was
steadily adhered to. 1t is fair, therefore,
to conclude that the Confederate losses
were heavier than the Union losses.
In. respect to the capture of prisoners,
and of assertions to the Union lines, the
Confederate loss was exceptionally heavy.
From May to Sept.a20, 1864. these losses
1856. Total, 1883. So that those
missing from the Confederate ranks ex-
ceeded the number, missing from the Union
ranks by 8, 275 officers and men.
1t is left to the imagination of the reader
to fill into these brief, statistics the suffer-
ing and distress entailed upon the heroic
men who were engaged in this campaign.
