The run OF salmon is still remark
ably short and all OF the canneries re-
port that the pack is more than SO
per cent less than at this time last
year. Since the opening of the season
there have been few fish In the river,
the result OF the high water, and the
scarcity has continued without airy
change. The fish are smaller than
usual, curtailIng the amount put into
cold storage. Deputy Fish Commits
sloner Burton of washington, who
came down from Cathlamet yesterday,
reports that the packers on the north
shore OF the river are all complaining,
and that the pack there is quite as
short as that on the south shore. The
river is now going down and an i'm
provement is looked for shortly, al
though 1t is agreed there viii be a
shortage Of salmon until late in July,
when the heavy hatchery runs come

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
| Few People Know How Useful 1t Is in
Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal
is the safest and most efficient dislntecf
ant and purifier in nature, but few realizo
its value when taken into the human
system for the same cleansing purpose
Charcoal is remedy that the more you
take of it the better: it is not drug at
all. but simply absorbs the gases and i'm
purities always present in the stomach
an intestines and carries them out OF the
system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating onions
and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectuaIly clears and improves
the complexion, it 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; 1T dis
infects 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
Absorbent Lozenges; they are composed
of the finest powdered Willow charcoal,
and other harmless anti-septics In tablet
form or rather in the form of large, pleas
ant tasting lozenges, the charcoal being
mixed with honey.
The daily use of these lozenges will soor
tell in much improved condition of the
general health, better complexion, sweetel
breath and purer blood, and the beauty
of it is that no possible harm can resul
from their continued use, but on tn,
contrary great benefit.
4 A Buffalo physician in speaking of tn,
benefits of charcoal, says: "T a6vis
Stuarts Absorbent Lozenges to all pa
tients suffering from gas in stomach am
bowels, and to clear the complexion an,
purify the breath, mouth and throat;
also believe the liver is greatly benefitte
by the daily use of them; they cost bu
twenty-five cents box at drug stores, an
although in some sense a patent prepare

Decide Against Skyscrapers.

Berlin.-The Prussian Ministers OF
Public Works, Interior and Commerce
have lust rejected a petition for the
erection of "skyscrapers" in Prussian
cities.
The Central Association Of German
Manufacturers had asked for a modl-
fication of the building regulations IN
the interest of the iron industry, be-
cause of the difficulty experienced In
some cities in supplying sufficient dwell
lings to accommodate the growing pop
ulation.
The petitioners pointed out that the
present limitation Of the height OF
buildings in Berlin to seventy-fohr
feet is unnecessary, in view of modern
methods of steel construction.
The ministers answered that the
danger of fire had not been removed
through steel framing, citing recent
cases in the United States, where peo.
pie on the high upper stories could not
be rescued when fire started in the
lower stories, and showing that 1t was
impossible to get water so high 10
extinguish the flames.
Furthermore, the ministers said. tn"
removal of the present restrictions
would cause wild real estate specula-
ton. The association does not intend
to let the matter rest with the answer
of the ministers, and will eEdeavor
to have them reverse it.
The association is backed up by the
opinions of number of German ex-
perts, who assert that all the demands
OF the fire.proof quality OF high build
ings can be satisfied through the Am
erican steel-frame system.
