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

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient
disinfectant 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
you take of ii the better; it is not a
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 on
ions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and i'm
proves the complexion; II 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
I'm the form Of large, pleasant tasting
lozenges, the charcoal being mixed
with honey.
The daily use OF these lozenges will
soon tell in a much improved condi-
ton OF the general health, better COM
plexlon, 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; Il ad-
wise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges 10 all

IN MEMORIAM.
w. d. sIMKINs.
Died Dec. 4. 1908.

One year ago to-day!
So short time, and yet so long to
the loved ones left desolate. How sad
ly we miss him in the home circle,
where he was so needed, and where
he brought so much happiness by his
loving thoughtfulness and tender So
licitude for his loved ones. Our hearts
are aching with the sense of our be-
reavement, for we can never again lean
on him as we were wont 20 do and
feel the sunshine of his presence.
His was a rare nature, his genial
charm OF manner and kindly sympathy
drawing many TO him, winning him
the tribute Of mems high regard and
faith. His true manliness. gentle con-
sideration, and strength Of character
won him host OF friends on whose
loyalty he could depend. In all the
duties OF life he was ever faithful 10
the trust reposed in him. and enjoyed
the confidence Of the public IN the
business world.
He was a man Of great personal
magnetism, and the friends he made
were his friends always.
Sweet memories stifie pain, lessening
the burden Of our sorrow, and we can
rejoice in the thought that we have
only the sweetest and tenderest menu
cries Of devoted husband and loving
father
Though from hearts the Joy has fed,
And hope al times seems all but dead,
Yet we thank Thee. Thou from whom
the soul d0h borrow.

COMFORT FOR THE SERIOUS.
Men May, And very Often Do, Achieve
Success After Reaching An

While it is true that the demand
for competent young men is very
great, the serious need aot despair.
A large number Of old men are
holding their own and the young
men find 1t a difficult task to dis
place them. A vigorous old man
not too old-with health of body
and alertness of mind, full of Wis
dom, experience and character, will
succeed even in this age, if he also
possess an undaunted spirit. The
Kansas City World boots at
the accepted maxim orproverb that,
unless a man has made his mark or
secured his fortune at 40 years, he
might as we'll throw up the sponge
and admit final defeat. 1t pithily
says:
1T is a commonly accepted say
ing that unless man is we'll along

of age he will never succeed.
stThe statement is untrue. It is
too broad. The facts are against
it.

1T is not necessary to quote in

thing.
You can't keep brave man
down, no matter what his age. He
may fall but be will rise. And
some day he will have his charmed
circle where none burst walk but

experience. You know things as
they are. No illusions. You know
your fellow man. You know your
self. And out of this knowledge
you are nightly equipped to or
ganize victory out of defeat -
The main thing is Courage.
Of course, if the old man loses
heart, and ceases to be bravely per-
sistent, his chances of restoring any
lost ground are slim, almost moth
ing. But there are not few seniors,
over 40 years considerably, who
gallantly and cheerfully determine,

So, we say to the seniors, do not
despond. Keep your fortitude.
Fight on valorously. Our Kansas
City contemporary sounds the true
keynote. 1t is courage-courage
of the right kind and unfaltering
trust in Providence. The seniors
need not take back seats or retire
from the contest just because some
body invents proverbs for their dis
con6ture. Every proverb thus utter
ed is not true one. Courage! Cour-
age! Courage! Courage! The

There are four ideals which | know
We all have before us in the work OF
the Endeayor society. One is that we
should be centers of Bible study and
that each member should be an intelli-
gent and growing Bible student The
second is that we should be eenters Of
personal work and that each member
should be active individually in win
ming others to Christ. The third is
that we should be schools of Christian
giving and that each member should
become a systematic proportionate aud
joyful giver. And the fourth is that
we should be centers of missionary in
terest and activity from which many
missionaries would go out to the home
and foreign fields and many workers
develop missionary Interest in the
