THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Ksuv How Ussfui Il Is In Preserving
a.. Health and RssEtI.

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal
+: tg the safest and most efficient disinfectant
and purifier in nature. 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 II the better: II is not drug at
Az but simply absorbs the gases and i'm
purities always present IN the stomach
and .intestines and carries them out of
the system.
-iICharcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating onions
and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and improves
the complexion. it whitens the teeth and
further acts as a natural and eminently
,safe cathartic.
II absorbs the injurious gases which COL
lect in the stomach and bowels; it disin-
.fects the mouth and throat from the pol
son of catarTh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one form
or another. but probably the best charcoal
and the most for the money is in Stuart's
Absorbent 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 be-
Ing mixed with honey
The daily use Of these lozenges will soon

trery, great benefit

Strong Verbal Protest Made to
Papal Secretary of State by
Ambassador Nisard.
CARDINALS ARE MUCH DIVIDED
Some Members Of the Sacred Col
lege Believe Attack on French
Policy Was Most Uncalled-
For and Unwise.

Paris. March ga protest, which the
French Government submitted to the Vat
lean against the recent utterances Of the
Pope against France, was not in the form
of an official note, but was verbal pro-
test by NJ Nisard, Ambassador of France
at the Vatican. to the Papal Secretary Of
State, Merry Del VAL
Whether anything will follow the sub
mission of the Governments protest is
not yet decided, but it is expected that
the protest will suffice TO give formal ex-
preston to the Governments disapproval
of the Pope's language.
Information reaching Government quar-
ters shows that the members of the Sa-
cred College are much divided over the
Pope's utterances. some regarding them
as most unwise and uncalled for.
It also apepars that the Cardinals were
taken by surprise, as the Pontiff had not
given any intimation of his intention to
criticise Franco.
Only few days previously the Pope re-
ceived a delegation of French pilgrims,
when it was thought he might make some
ailusion to France. Having not made it
then, the Cardinals were satisfied the Pope
would not discuss France at any time.
The incident is regarded as showing the
Pope's tendency to carry out his personal
ideas irrespective of the views OF the
Sacred College.
