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 ard purifier IN nature. but few
realize its value when taken into tho
human system for the same cleansing
purpose
Charcoal IS n remedy that the more you
take of it the better; it is rot drug at
all. but simply absorbs the gases and
irsarities always present in the stomach
and intestines and carries them out Of
the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after

the 1871 treaty; one settled the Alabama

ANeLo-AMERlcAN ARBITRATIoNs

Senator Lodge, speaking to the Cold
smiths company of London last Monday
night, spoke of arbitration as a method
of settling differences between Great
Britain and the United States" that was
in it's infancy"
The historical fact is that between the
United States and Great Britain arbl-
traton for almost exacIy one hundred
years has been the method of settling
every dispute, with one exception only
the war for sailors rights IN 1Sl2-that
has arisen between the two countries.
Beginning with the arbitrations under
the Jay treaty of 1874, a long list of vexa-
tious Anglo-American questions has been
referred to arbitration. 1t is a demonstra-
ton Of the practicability or substituting
arbitration for war on all questions that
this list includes questions far more i'm
portant, rs touching the honor or the in
terests OF the tEo nations. than were in
volved in, any. of. the great European wars
of the. past fifty years. The arbitration
under the treaty of 1874 settled dispute
as to our northeastern BOUNDARY that
arose under the treaty Of peace of 17S3.
It also settled important questions as to
the rights of neutral nations during a
war and as to tie finality Of the decisions
of prize coufes
Und4r the celebrated treaty OF Client,
signedcSn 1Si49 and by which the war Of
1872 was closed, another series of Anelo-
American afbitrations followed. The title.
Of certain isst tnds in Passamaquoddy Bay
was determiiTsd by one OF them. Another
attempted. but failed, to settled the north
eastern boundary between this country and
Canada from the source Of the river st.
Croix. along certain prescribed course,
to the River st. Lawrence. This question
remained open until with other matters,
it was finally determined by the famous
treaty Of ISs2. negotiated by Daniel Web
ster and Lord Asnburton.
a yet more dangerous boundary dispute
was that as to the line between the Rock
les and the Pacific, and which gave rise
10 the famous cry of $50 or Fight"
which was the slogan of those Americans
who vehemeutly protested against yield
ing our claims to the territory short Of 81
degrees 20 minutes OF latitude between the
Rocky Mountains and the Pacific Ocean.
Several Of Europe's great wars have been
fought to settle territorial disputes OF less
consequence, but this one was peacefully
settled by the treaty of July. 1916. direct
ly negotiated by the two governments.
Another bach of serious differences be-
twen the two countries was settled by ar
bitrations under a treaty signed IN FebrU-
airy, 1853. The famous cases Of Mcleod
and the brig Creole were among them.
Again in 1883 a treaty was concluded 70

washington, Oct. S1.-The president to-
day issued his annual Thanksgiving pro
ciamation, as follows:
..3v the President of the United States
of. America. a Proclamation:
ss,The season is at hand when, accord
ing TO the custom Of our people it falls
upon the president to. appoint day Of
praise and thanksgiving 10 Gcd. During
the last year the Lord has dealt boCnti-
fully with US, giving US peace at home
ana abroad, and the chance for our c'ti-
zens to work for their welfare unhia-
dered by war, famine or plague. 1t be-
hooYes US not only TO rejoice greatly be-
cause of what has been given US, but to
accept it with solemn sense of re-
spensibility. realizing that under heaven
it rests with US ourselves to show that
we are worthy to use Alright what has
thus been entrusted to our care. In no
other place and at no other time has
the experiment of government of the
people, by the people and for the people,
been tried on so vast a scale as here in
our country in the opening years of the
Twentieth century. Failure would not
only be dreadful thing for us. but a
dreadful thing for all mankind, but it
would mean a loss of hope for all de-
sires. Therefore, in thanking God for the
mereies extended US in the past we be-
seech Him that He may not withhold
them in the future, and that our hearts
may be aroused steadfastiy towards God
We pray for strength and light, so that
in the coming years We may with clean
Illness. fearlessness and wisdom do our
allotted work on earth in such manner as
to show that we are not altogether un-
worthy of the blessings We have re-
ceived.
Now, therefore, I, Theodore Roose-
welt, president OF the United States, do
hereby designate as a day of general
thanksgiving Thursday. the 26th of the
coming November, and do recommend
that throughout the land people cease
from their wonted occupations and in
their several homes and places of worship
render thanks unto Almighty God for His
manifold mercies.
I'm witness whereof have hereunto
set nay hand and caused the seal of the
United States to he affixed. e1.4

President Harrison had delicate,

He liked a salad, a small portion of the
best meats, served simply but in endless

and without the slightest suspicion of
over-favoring.
president Cleveland was a difficult
man to please in some respects. but
once you understood his tastes everything
was easy. He liked game, fish. good
meats and was a hearty lover of well
selected and tastily prepared dishes. He
was particularly fond of canvasback
ducks and liked Holsters broiled or boiled.
President Mckinley delighted IN tur-

of wine. but would order it freely for his
guests.
