Riviera. Aside from the veteran Prince

and defeated him. For this Alexander
modestly says he deserves but little
credit. His reason Is a confirmation of
country that the elder Doherty is in poor
physical condition for any long and tax
ing match. Doherty's condition is OF con-
siderable interest to Americans just now,
as 1t may necessitate changes in the Eng
lish defending team when the interuatio
al amtches are played for the Dwight F.
Davis challenge cup by the Americans,
French. Austrians. Belgians and Austral-
ians this season in England.
From what Alexander says il is evident
that the European lawn tennis players
are amazed and keenly interested in the
speed and hard hitting of the American
players The service especially bothers

twist, and its variations. The fact that
the Americans having imported a great

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 disinfec-
tant and purifier in nature, but few real
lie its value when taken into the human
system for the same cleansing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more Won
take of it the better; ii is not a drug at
all. but simply abserbs the gases and inn
purities always present in the stomac ach
and intestines and carries them out of
the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating onions
and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectua1ly clears and improves
the complexion. it whitens the teeth and
further acts as a natural and eminentiy
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 form
or another, but probably the best char
coal and the most for the money is in Stu

of the finest powdered Willow charcoal and
other Harmless antiseptics in tablet form

COLUMBIA VARSITY
CREW SHOWING FORM
Men Have Proper Swing and Use HanIon
Stroke

Special to The Globe
NEW YORK, April S.-Many' Harlem
river oarsmen who watched the work OF
the Columbia university crew this week
are full Of praise for the first varsity
crew, but shake their heads in a doubtful
way when the merits of the second varsity
eight are discussed. The chief defect in
the second crew is body and blade work.
The bHat checks between strokes and the
men finish each stroke with a terrific
Jerk. All hands lack the right swing
The first varsity crew is relxindling the
hre OF enthusiasm which has been smoul-
derlng for some time. With the exception
OF No. every man in the first varsity is
big, and all are unusually active for
husky men. They have the true swing,
but are not yet first class in Waterman
ship. Coach Goodwin has a good prom
iSlng Poughkeepsie crew in this lot. Sew
eral OF the men are old blades. and it may
be due to this fact, or to the fact that
Mr.. Goodwin has copied his predecessor
in that the crew shows unmistakable
signs of Hanlon stroke
The hope that Columbia is going to re-
deem some of her lost prestige with the
first crew at Poughkeepsie in June is
making the rooters about Morningside
Heights feel cheerful.
