THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL,
Few People Know How Useful It is
Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal
is the safest and most efficient dlsinfec'
tant and purifier In nature, but Few real.
lie It's value when taken into the human
system for the gaze cleansing purpose.
Charcoal Is a remedy that the more
you take of 1t, the better; II Is not u
drug at all, but simply nbsorbs the gases
and impurities always present in the
stomach and lntestines. and carries them
out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating onions
and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal elfectually clears and improves
the complexion. 1t whitens the teeth and
further acts as natural and eminently
safe catharttc.
II absorbs the Injurious gases which
collect In the stomach and bowels; it
dislnfects the mouth and throat from
the poison OF catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal In one form
or another; but probably the best char
coal and the most for the money Is In
Stuarts Absorbent Lozenges: they are
composed of the finest powdered Willow

BLACKSTONE, VA, Oct 3.--The pri-
mary held in this county Tuesday for
member of the Legislature demonstrated
very clearly that there can be no con-
tcntion arising under the present plan
Of voting by viva voce. Some may have
been deferred from attending the polls,
but a greater number took part In the
election than have ever attended a
mass-meeting. and both sides to the con-
test expressed satisfaction at the man
ncr in which the election was conducted.
Both sides showed much activity during
the day. and this precinct gave Mr..
Fowlkes, Of Amelia, the largest vote Of
any other precinct in Nottoway. In fact
as large as any other two. There Is no Bit
terness left however, and both sides are
joking the other over the recent scrap.
Nottoway is different from most any
other county in the State. They can fight.
and fight savagely, but as soon as 1t is
over peace reigns again, and erstwhile
friends are friends again, and enemies
no longer.
Another thing that has been demon.
strated, is that there is no break in Motto
ways Democratic ranks. They may fight
among themselves, but they present a

always be relied upon to do their duty
