Much Freight at Transfer.

Almost freight blockade exists at the
Minnesota Transfer. The transfer holds
more freight than has been seen there
in months. The western traffic is running
smoothly and service on the Chicago lines
is improving so that traffic will soon be
normal. The return Of warmer weather
permits the passenger trains to approach
the time card, which lessons freight train
delays.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.

Few People Know How Useful 1t is in
Preserving Health and Beauty.
| Nearly everybody knows that charcoal
is the safest and most efficient disinfect
ant and purifier in nature, but few realiz.
| it's value when taken into the human
system for the same cleansing purpose,
Charcoal is a remedy that the more you
take of it the better: it is not drug at
all, but simply absorbs the gases and i'm
purities always present in the stomach
an 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 improves
the complexion, it whitens the teeth and
| further acts as natural and eminently
safe cathartic.
| 1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; it dis
infects the mouth and throat from the
poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one forn
or another, but probably the best charcoal
and the most for the money is in Stuart's
| Absorbent Lozenges; they are composed
OF the 6uest powdered Willow charcoal
and other harmless anti-septics in tablet
form or rather in the form of large, pleas
ant tasting lozenges, the charcoal being
mixed with honey.
The daily use of these lozenges will soor
tell in much improved condition of the
general health, better complexion, sweete1
breath and purer blood, and the beauty
of it is, that no possible harm can result
from their continued use, but on tn,
contrary, great benefit.
