Frederick Upham Adams wrote an article to
the Chicago Record Herald few days ago, on
Pubic Ownership, in which he said, among
other things:
"The simple ,rutf; of the matter is that there
is no organized opposition in Great Britain
against the public ownership Of utilities which
naturally tend to nonopolistic control. There
are individuals who protest against what has
been done, and who sound warnings against all
that is proposed. But their feeble activity
makes not the slightest Impression on the col
leciive English mind. The citizens and tax
payers of that country have accepted public
ownership, and have installed it as fixed in
stitution. They act and speak as if they had
forgotten that any other system ever existed
They do not consider new projects as expert
n,ents, but as Investments. The few privately
owned street railways are looked upon as curl.
osties. England has adopted public owner
ship for the simple reason that private capital
lists refused properly to manage private monop-
olies Every large city owns and operates its
street railways.
'"rhe city hall of Glasgow does not remind
the visitor OF any civic structure i'll the United
States. No swarins of loafers, ward heelers
and office brokers or seekers hang about its en-
trance or lounge in its halls.

aries for work which is not performed There
is no line of citizens ready to commit perjury
in order that they may escape their tair share
of the burdens of taxation. There are no go.
betweeus' employed by dishonest wealth to
extort by bribery favors from those who have
taken an oath to serve faithfully their city aud
community.
"Aldermen meet in public to devise ways and
means which shall promote the public good
loon to plot the city's undoing.
''The representatives of the press seek in
formation CONGO rhing the latest improvements,
and not for details of the latest official plum
dering. There are no ward leaders. There
is no gang. Theirs is no pull There is
no graft The men at the head Of affairs
would no sooner think of robbing their city
than they would of stealing from their church
or their club. do not suppose you will be-
heve this, but it is true"
In series of articles reviewing IN detail the
whole subject of municipal ownership of pub
lie utilities in Great Britain, Mr.. Adams points
out that there was corruption when all the
great cities of Great Britain were under private
owner ship, but that public ownership has abso-
lntely removed corruption from political life in
thai country, and that 'there has been accom-
plished in Great Britain one of the most tre-
mendous industrial and economical revolutions
since the birth OF modern civilization"

drawing room to witness the, ceremony
and to extend congratulations to the

Garlands of smilax softened the walls
and curtained the windows and door
ways. The ceremony took place in the
rear room, the wedding party grouping
themselves justs in front of the man
tel which faced the wide doorway
separating the two rooms. The MAN
tel was hidden under a weight of
smilax and ferns, and tall palms were
placed before it to form the wedding
arch.
There were no bridesmaids and the
bride and groom entered together,
passing up to the improvised altar
These were held by little Misses Rach-
ael Beginner and Bessie Wheless, who
entered first. They were gowned in
white embroidered frocks with white
ribbons. The wedding march from Lo-
hengrin was played by Miss Margaret
Schley Thompson, and some appropri-
ate melody was rendered during the
ceremony
The brides gown was of soft white
silk hna1itifIIllX and nPnfQd
with much fine hand embroidery. The
collar and yoke were of fagotted bands,
embroidered in French knots. Below
the yoke fell an exquisite bertha of
handmade lace. The sleeves, which
were in full length, were formed of
several deep puffs, and were finished
with ruffles of tulle. The skirt was fin
ished around the bottom with wide
tucks, and was tucked around the hips,
with insets of faggotted medallions.

were worn in the tulle veil. The bril-

gown of brown crepe de chine, with
embroidered applique.
Mrs. Robert T. Persons, of Forsyth,
a sister of the bride, wore cream wolfe,
with turquoise velvet trimming.

pecially to attend the wedding. An
other out of town guest present, was

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

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient
disinfectant and purifier in nature, but
rev realize its value when taken into
the human system for the same
cleansing purpose.
Charcoal is q remedy that the more
you take of it 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 ana other odorouS vegeta bles.
Charcoal effeetually 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; 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 Lozen-
ges; 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 with honey.
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 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
patents 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 l
believe | get moro and better charcoal
in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges than in
any OF the ordinary charcoal tablets"
