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

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient
disinfectant and purifier in nature,
but rev realize it's 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 absorb 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 on
ions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and i'm
proves the complexion. 1t Whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural and
eminently safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; it
disinfeCtS the mouth and throat from
the poison of catarrh
All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another, but probably the best
charcoal and the most for the money
is in Stuart's Charcoal LoZenges; they
are composed of the finest powdered
Willow Charcoal, and other harmless
antiseptics in tablet form or rather in
the form of large, pleasant tasting
loZenges. the charcoal being mixed
with honey
The daily use of these lozenges will
soon tell in a much improved condi-
ton of the general health, better COM
plexion, sweeter breath and purer
blood, and the beauty or it is. that no
possible harm can result from their
continued use, but on the contrary,
great benefit.
A Buffalo physician in speaking of
the benefits of charcoal, says: Il ad-
wise Stuarts Charcoal LOzenges to all
patients suffering from gas in stom-
ach and bowels. and to clear the COM
piexion and purify the breath, mouth

..HOW TT HAVE SKUNK"

Two years ago Governor Dockery, OF
Missouri, CHS father was born in
Richmond county, North CarolinaD was
feeling good about this time of the
year His administration was approx
ed bv the people. every Democratic
candidate for Congress save one had
been elected in Missouri, a legislature
strongly Democratic and friendly TO
the Governor had been chosen. and
he looked confidently forward to fu-
ture high honors for himself and
long continued Democratic victories
in Missouri. 1t was under such con-
ditions that ne sat down to write his
Thanksgiving proclamation. He felt
good. He fairly dubbed over with graf
itude. He was thankfulness persona
fed His pen flowed freely and his
periods were turned with a grateful
heart. He wrote with the spirit of
thanksgiving and it took two thous-
and words for him to express the
causes for which the people of Mis-
souri, should return thanks upon the
recurring day of cheer and festivity.
The proclamation was redolent of
happiness, content. good cheer-it was
a document to gladden. all hearts You
could almost hear the birds singing
and the children laughing between the
lines of that JOYOUS proclamation
This year when Governor Dockery
came to pen his Thanksgiving Procla-
nation he needed only fifty seven for
NAL and severe words for the docu-
ment. There is no joy in Missouri for
Dockery or other Democrats. In their
gloom. as they sit in the ashes of de-
feat, they see no cause for thanksgfv

Governor gets no cheer because Folk
wins, for he was not Folk man. In
deed it is said that he was hostile TO
Folks nomination and was active In
trying to prevent it. However that
NAV be, it is certain that Folks cleo
ton is not sufficient to dispel the
gloom in which the great Republican
victory has enveloned the erstwhiie
buoyant and cheerful Governor of Mis-
suori. But he is an optimist bv nature.

THE DEADLY KODAK.

1t is very hard to get evidence
against blind tigers and "speak-eas-

detectives have managed it by carrying
kodaks and taking pictures of patrons
II. the act of drinking. SO successful
have they been in "kodaking" that
fines in that county have aggregated
three thousand dollars. The keepers
of blind tigers" will carry the case to
higher courts, denying that kodak
evidence is permissible
The Lancaster county authorities
have been guided by a ray OF genius in
discovering the deadly kodak. Let
others try it and if its evidence is not
now permissible, laws can be enacted
to legalize it.
