THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful it is in
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. i.t5
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
you take of it the better; it is not
a drug at ALI but simply absorbs
the gases and impurities always pre-
sent in the stomach and intestines and
carries 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 im-
proves the complexion, it whitens the
teeth, and further -acts las a natural
and eminently safe cathartie.- e. ...
1t absorhs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach, and bowels; it
disinfeets the mouth and throat from
the poison of catarrh. a.. II vs-
All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another, put probably the
best charcoal and the most for the
money is in Stuart's Charcoal Lozen-
GEES; 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. sg..
The daily use of these lozenges will
soon tell in a much improved condi-
ton of the general health, better conf
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 eis-sis ar ~ s-~ss,s-
A Buffalo physician in speaking of
the benefits of charcoal, says: Il ad-
wise Stuarts Charcoal Lozenges to, all
patients suffering from gas in stem-
ash and bowels, and to clear the COM
plexion and purify the breath, mouth
and throat; 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 al
though in some sense a patent prep
aration. yet Il believed get, more and
better charcoal in, Stuart's Charcoal
Lozenges than in any of the ordinary

FOrRging and Must Pay.


Atlanta, Oct. ia claim for $500
has been made against the Second
Georgia Provisional Regiment which
was encamped at Thoroughfare, Va,
under the command of Col. Clifford L.
Anderson.
The War Department at Washington
has written the Adjutant General
about the matter. and it has been TAX
en- up with the officers of the regiment,
1t is claimed that members of the
regiment on frequent foraging tours
made away with 100 chickens, ninety
turkeys, fifty bushels of corn. lot of
apples. straw and other articles be-
longing to farmers in that section. -.i
The War Department says the claim
seems to be just one. AS those who

can hardly be located, it is probable the
officers of the regiment themselves will
make good the loss.

lions, however odd their manifesto
lions, never really make a religious
body appear absurd; strivings after
nOtoTiety do.
When the president Of the Mary
land Conference adjured these young
men, just beginning their life work,
not to provoke their congregations to
laughter, and to keep their names
out of the newspapers, he meant
nothing unreasonable. Once in a
blue moon, perhaps, a minister ap-
pears whose sense of humCr is so
strong and so wholesome that he can
cause a ripple of laughter to pass
over his congregation merely by a
particularly apt illustration. But
such a man gains his power not by
being funny, but by qualities which
are often associated with a sense Of
humor. The warming was evidently
directed against the cheap attempts
to be humorous which cause too many
ministers to appear like mOunte-
banks. Their congregations may
laugh with them, but the rest of the
world laughs at them. There is a
place for fun in every mans life, and
in the life of a healthy human being
run should be abundant, but its place
is not in church, and only such point
ed advice as that given by President
Little can check the ill-iudged clown
tshness of some men whose great de-
sire seems to be to win regulations
for funmaking in the pulpit.

Never provoke your congregations

Don't advertise yourself and your

subjects.
Don't try to initiate anyone"
he said several other things. but

A Fruitful Source of Trouble
The Means Taken by a Philadelphia
School Ma'am to Keep Peace.

A teacher ir Philadelphia who
found herself Obliged to keep order
in a school where four different sorts
of pupils were gathered, says that
she put an end to fights by forbid
ding the use of the words ''Dago,"
Niger" and "sheeny." Restrained
from calling offensive names, the
children got along peaceably enough,
although it is probable that birds of
feather flOcked together out of
school, as they usually do when let
alone. The hint is worth consider
ing, in the present mixed and poly
glot condition of our population.
There is no use in contending for
the superior virtues of one nation
atty over another; that question has
nothing to do with the preservation
Of peace and good order. Nothing
but mutual consideration can assure
this desirable end where several ma
tiOnalities are gathered together for
business purposes; and courtesy does
not injure anybOdy's self-respect.
The popular epithets applied by
children and thoughtless grown peo-
pie to fellow-beings whom they con-
slider beneath them, cannot possibly
do any good, and they undoubtedly
do harm. Nobody knows how
much bitterness has been engendered
by American youngsters shouting
Paddy" at irish children, or by the
Irish. in their turn, clubbing the Ital-
ian 'Dago." or by any of the other
thoughtless and cruel verbal persscu-
tiOns common among children. The
abandonment Of this form OF rowdy-
ism will not lead TO undesirable racial
mixtures, because such thiRgs cannot
be furthered or prevented thus arbi-
trarily; and the cultivation of or
binary politeness certainly viii tend
to peace.
