THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful Tt Is
i'm Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient
disfnfectant and purifier in nature, but
few realize it's value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans
ing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
Won take of it the better; it is not a
drug at alb but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present
in the stomach and intestines and car
ries 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, it wh1tens the
teeth and further acts as natural and
eminentIy 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;s 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 loz-
enges, the charcoal being mixed with
honey.
The daily use of these Iozenges will
soon tell in a much improved condition
of the general health, better complex

sible harm can result from their con-
tinued use, but on the contrary, great
benefit.
A Buffalo physician in speaking of
the benefits of charcoal, says: ct ad-
wise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all
patients suffering from gas in stomach
and bowels, and to clear the COM
plexion and purify the breath, mouth
and throat; I also believe the liver is
greatly benefitedssby the daily use of
them; they cost but twenty-five cents
a box at drug stores, and although
in some sense a patent preparation,
yet 1 believe I get more and better
charcoal in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges
than in any of the ordinary charcoal
tablets"

Word has just been received in this
city of two very important promotions

THE KATY's BLOCK SYSTEM.
Bridges and Trestles Protected by an
Automatic System.

The Missouri. Kansas & Texas rail-
way has installed a system of auto
matte electric block signals at the APP
proaches of a number of the large
bridges and long trestles along the line
In the Indian Territory, Oklahoma and
Texas all of the more important struc-
lures are thus protected.
H. c. Rouse, chairman of the eXecu-
tive board, says more were to be in
stalled. The automatic block signals
connected with a bridge will tell of a
broken rail, a broken pier or give warn
ing in case the bridge should be on
fire Mr. Rouse said he believed the
signals nearly indispensable in low
lands where bridges or treStle work
might be affected by floods.

THE MOTHER WAS RIGHT.
One Lyon County Courts Test Case of
the Truancy Law

the 1ruancy, Law.
Emporia, Nov. 1.-THE state truancy
law received the first test in a Lyon
county court when the Rev. 7. W.
Johnson was tried before Justice Nc
Cain, because he refuses to send mis-
children to the public schools. His son,
Theodore, is IL years old and never has
attended public schools, but has been
taught at home by his mother. The
boy was examined by the county SUI
perintendent some time ago and found
to be lacking in knowledge for an IL
year-old boy and the superintendent
decided that the mother was incom-
petent to teach him. The jury brought
in verdict of not guilty. The court
held that jury can judge the COM
potency of a teacher. The courts rul-
ing in that particular was contrary 10
the decision of both the attorney gen
eral, c. c. Coleman, and the state su-
peTintendent,' Mr.. Dayhoff, who de-
cided that the county superintendent
and the board of examiners have power

Rice Story Is RidicuIed.

The report that the Santa F'e rail-
road and a rice cereal company will
try to induce the government to adopt
rice as the staple food for the army is
looked upon by railroad officials as a
Joke or an attempt on the part of
some interested parties to boom the
rice lands of Texas.
The Santa Fe recently has acquired
a little road in Texas running through
the rice fields near Beaumont, and
several Chicago men have invested in
land there.
