ADVERTISEMENTS.
THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL
Few People Know How Useful It Is in Pre-
serving Health and 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 remedy that the more
you take of it the better; 1t is not
drug at all, 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
onions 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 loz-
enges, the charcoal being mixed with
honey.
The daily use of these lozenges will
soon tell in a much improved condition
of the general health, better complex
ion, sweeter breath and purer blood,
and the beauty of 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 stomach
and bowels, and to clear the complex
ion and purify the breath, mouth and
throat; also believe the liver is great
ly 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 1 believe 1
get more and better charcoal In Stuart's
Charcoal Lozenges than in any of the
ordinary charcoal tablets"

SUPREME COURT
ASKED TO ACT
EndeavOr to Have Proposed
Charter Amendments on
the Regular Ballots

James n. Harrison, plaintiff and
petitioner, through his counsel, con-
sisting of Assistant City Attorney Pat
ridge, c. H. King and C. w. Lane, has
brought suit in the Supreme Court
direct, to compel the Election Com
missioners to place the proposed twen-
tytwo charter amendments on the bal
lots to be used at the coming cleo
ton. The counsel for the Election
Commissioners consists of Devote and
Richardson. The Supreme Court has
consented to try the case without it's
appearance in the Superior Court, so
that a decision may be reached before
election, and no appeal therefrom be
taken.
The Election Commissioners object
to placing the amendments on the bal
lots. They maintain that the amend
ments are unconstitutional on two ac-
counts; first that the Mayor must ap-
prove them and second, that two years
have not elapsed, as called for by law,
before the charter may be amended.
The plaintiffs declare that the last
amending of the charter by the Leg
!slature took place February 25,
1903, although the amendments were
voted upon by the people on Decem-
Der 6, 1902. Therefore they claim
that although the amendments may be
voted upon and passed by the people
next November the charter is not Of
ficially amended until the Legislature
acts, which may be as late as Febru-
airy 25, 1905. BY doing this the ne
cessary two years will elapse between
amcndings of the charter.

heavy to produce freight blockades at
several points. Manufacturing plants

ter supply provides a temporary inter-
ruption. This difficulty is most severe
ly felt at coke ovens and paper mills
