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

PRESERVING dedIIn ana Beauty.
Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient
disinfectant and purifier in nature, but
few realize its value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans
ing purpose.
Charcoal Is a remedy that the more
you take of it the better; 1t is not a
drug at all, but simply absorbs. 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
onions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and i'm
proves 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
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
Will nOHCys
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 of 1t 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: 'I ad-
wise Stuarts 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; 1 also believe the liver is
greatly benefited by 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
I believe / get more and better char
coal in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges
than in an Of the ordinary charcoal
tablets"

Es&C


The headquarters of the American
Federation of Labor at the Russ House
was the scene of great activity yester-
day. Many delegates from the East
and Pacific Coast States arrived and
registered and the committee for the
entertainment and reception of the Wis
itors met in the evening and adopted
plan for the proper welcoming of the
incoming delegates.
Among those who registered at head
quarters was w. D. Mahon Of Detroit,
president of the Amalgamated Associa-
ton of Street Railway Employees. Mr..
Mahon was accompanied by ReZin Orr'
treasurer of the same organization.
In speaking of the work of the COM
ing convention, Mr.. Mahon said that
the labor outlook was decidedly hopeful
and that this would be one of the busl-
est sessions in the history of the feder-
alton. Regarding the action OF the ex-
ecutive council in revoking the charter
of the Chicago Federation of Labor,
Mr.. Mahon expressed himself as at a
loss to account for the committees ac-
tion. He added, however, that the
standing of Mr.. Schardt, delegate from
the Chicago body, would not be In
doubt, but that the delegate would take
his place on the floor Of the convention.
The questions of wage disputes and
trade jurisdictions, MIR. Mahon said,
were things that would eventually de-
eide themselves, and that all that was
needed was q sensible consideration Of
the facts.
Mr.. Mahon spoke in very decided
terms against the introduction of poll
tics into the federation. He said that
the Socialist delegates to the conven-
ton had tried at nearly every yearly
meeting to have the federation commit
ted to socialism, and that they would
again be~turned down, as were the del
egates of other political parties that at
tempted the same object. The only
delegates to the convention, he added,
will be those from organizations affili-
ated with the American Federation and
fraternal delegates from Great Britain
and Canada. Invitations have for many
years been sent also to the trade or
ganizations Of France and Germany.
Regarding the forming of an interna-
tional organization of labor unions, Mr.
Mahon said that the only steps in that
direction were taken by the longshore-
men Of the international transporta-
ton lines. He added that 1t was a
hard enough job to get the labor unions
of the United States into line.

REBELLED AGAINST
 THEIR PUNISHMENT
Some of the Students at
 0wenton Disciplined
ABSENT WITHOUT LEAVE
Thirty-nine Students Took Holiday Monday Without Permission-Fao-
 uIty Fixes Penalty-Boys
 Refuse to Submit. to It.

The faculty of the North Alabama Conference college at owenton did not deem 1t advisable to dismiss the classes for the day last Monday--Washingto birthday-but nevertheless thirty-nine of the students decided to enjoy a day of rest, and therefore failed to report to their classes. Instead of reporting, some of them went down to the baseball dia- mond and had a game. while others wan dered about in the woods nearby or visit ed friends. It is said some of the stu dents who remained away from school came to the city, and in this way violat- ed one of the rules of the college, which requires that the students shall obtain permission to come to Birmingham.
 Trouble may reseult from the action of the students. Thursday Is the regular punishment day at the institution. Day before yesterday President Anson West announced that the students who re- mained away from their classes Monday would be required to walk the campus from three to six hours. This is where the trouble begun. The students refused to do this and about noon addressed a letter stating their refusal The faculty was immediately called to meet and ip small squads the thirty-nne students were brought before it. They were told that unless they compiled with the orders they would be expelled. So far, how ever, there has been no expulsion.
 A meeting of the faculty is said to have been scheduled for yesterday after noon, but from a member it was learned that no such meeting took place. and the matter remains unchanged. Yesterday morning about twenty of the thirty-nine students went to their classes.
 President West has nothing to say about this case of discipline. It is un- derstood the faculty will consider the matter at meeting to be held Monday afteroon.

SETTLED WITHOUT
 LONG LITIGATION
JIM MARUDAS WILL vAcATE PREMISES AT CORNER OF END AVE. AND 18TH ST. IN FIFTY DAYS.

Judge Feagin has adjusted the alleged nuisance of the stand at Second avenue and Eighteenth street satisfactorily. Yes- terday morning he rendered decision that the place was being run in violation of the law, but advised that the city be lenient, as Jim Marndas. the proprietor has spent considerable money there.
 The outcome of the trial was that the Greek must move away from the place an order from the landlord to vacate On this basis Judge Feagin advised City Attorney Smith to let the case rest for that length of time.
 Jim Marudas was arrested on a charge of failing to abate a nuisance. It was shown that his place of business on Sec kept in sanitary condition, and that offensive odors emanated from it. People attending the theatres objected to the stand, and ladies frequently would go to the other side of the street to keep from passing by it.
 Judge Feagin made personal examina- tion of the place and found that 1t was not conducted according to the law. Judge Houghton, who represented the Greek. stated that he had been given notice to vacate in sixty days, and that ten days of that time had already elapsed Judge Houghton and City Attorney Ed Smith agreed that the matter should rest until the time expired, when the former stated that his client would move out
 Jim has, however. agreed to take his fruit stands off the pavement, and to keep 1t entirely free from all Instructions until his time limit is up. All parties thought this was just way to settle the difficulties and were satisfied It also prevents prolonged legal fight
 There are other objectionable places in the same neighborhood. and an effort will be made to have them removed or closed up.
