THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful II Is
Preserving Health and
Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that
charcoal is the safest and most EN-
Client disinfectant and purifier in ma
ture. but few realize its value when
taken into the human system for the
same cleansing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the
more you take of 1t the better; It
is not a drug at all. but simply alb
scf9s the gases and impurities al
ways present In the stomach and in
testines and carries them out of the
system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath af-
ter smoking. drinking or after on
ions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and
improves the complexion. II whitens
the teeth and further acts as a ma
tural and eminently safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases
which collect in the stomach and
bowels; II 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 Lo-
zenges; 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 1
charcoal being mixed with honey.
The daily use of these lozenges
will soon tell in much improved
condition OF the general health. bet
ter complexion. sweeter breath and
purer blood. and the beauty OF II 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; II
advise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to
all patients suffering from gas in
stomach and bowels. and to clear
the complexion and purify the
breath. mouth and throat; also be-
lieve the liver is greatly benefited by
the daily use of them; they cost but
cents a box at drug
stores, and although in some sense
a patent preparation. yet believe

On Broadway a lot Of taxpayers
are getting a taste OF what those on
Third street had to contend with
last winter. Just before bad weather
set in the contractor who built the
street and pavements was allowed to
stack up piles Of brick higher than
a persons head and taking up at
least half of the pavement on both
sides Of the street. There they re-
NAMED for FIVE months, and the
only public protest was made by The
Sun. The city officials paid no atten-
ton to 1t, because the contractors
convenience and feelings were con-
sidered more important than those of
the public and the people daily in
convenience6 by the nuisance. over
on Broadway the contractor has left
the sidewalks in a bad fix. accord
ing to reports, and st is too cold"
to proceed with the work. When the
people all over the city have person
ally. individually and collectively
had a taste of this kind of business.
they will be ready to rise up and de-
mand of the city officials some con-
sideration for the public. Not until
the people do demand it will the in
terests Of the people stand higher
with the administration than the in
terests of the contractors. The people
on Broadway might as well build
them temporary bridges over the
holes in the sidewalks and make the
best OF 1t until spring-unless their
protests shall have more effect than
protests had last winter.

and he heard the story. He and Police
man Deboe hurried TO the Noble fiat.
Noble was lying face down on the parlor
floor He was dead. Deboe paid par
ticular attention TO Mrs. Noble, who was
In a highly hysterical condition.
Deboe said: Il asked Mrs. Noble what
had happened. warning her at the same
tirnA-that anything she said might be
used as evidence against her later. She
was in a pretty hysterical condition. but
after a little while she told me she had
spent the evening with Mr. and Mrs.
John Phillips of Astoria. Phttttps and
his wife brought her home.
They saw Noble on the way. she said,
and, saying good night to the Phillipses,
she and her husband walked home. They
lived in an apartment on the second
floor
Mrs. Noble said she took off her
wraps and gown. and her husband had
disrobed down to his outside shirt and
trousers and was sitting on the couch
taking off his shoes. She. meantime. had
gone 70 trunk to get something. The
trunk she said. had not been opened
since she returned rrom her summer
visit in the country. In the trunk she
found her husbands pearl-handed .32-
calibre. ve.chambered revolver in a
rubber case.
"she withdrew the revolver from the
case and turning TO her husband ex-
claimed: Isn't that a beauty?'
"He told her 10 put II up and not 10
fool with Il, and as he said this he got
up and grabbed the muzzle They pulled
backward and forward for second or
so. she said and then the thing went
of twice. They had no alteration. and
there was nothing about the woman 20
Indicate that she had been drinking.
THAT was all that could get out OF
her"
The autopsy disclosed two bullet holes
IN the chest. one just below the right
nipple and the other on a line with the
left nipple. about one inch TO the left OF
the medan line. The latter bullet pierced
the heart and caused instant death. ..e
other pierced the liver and stomach and

doctors the cause Of death.
The doctors said that either shot might
have been self f-inaicted. but II not they
had been fired by someone shorter than
Noble.
Noble was 81 years OF age and his
wife is II. They were married about
two years ago and have no children.

effect OF Republican form of govern
ment on the people He argued strongly
for a. truer Democracy and a more
thoughtful use OF the ballot.

was why he encouraged a place like the
Subway Tavern. where ntoxicants were

ness OF the home.
The Bishop replied that he hoped TO
bring about conditions similar 10 those In

place that is entirely respectable.
But" he added. "I fear that New
York Is slow TO grasp the idea
Severals OF the questions concerned the
Subway Tavern and II began to look as

to work among the audience The Bishop
met all the questions skilfully and seemed
unruffled even by the most pointed.
