THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful u 10 In
Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient dis
infectant and purifier in nature, but
few realize its value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans
ing purpose.
Charcoal is remedy that the more
YOU take Of it the better; it IL not a
drug at all, but simply absorhs the
gases and impurities always present in
the stomach and intestines and carries
them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetcns the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating
onions and other odorous vcgetabl es.
Charcoal efectually clears and i'm
proves the complexion. it whitcns the
teeth and further acts as a natural and
cminently safe cathartic.
IT absorbs the injurious. gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels: II
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison OF catarrh.

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
patients suffering from gas in stomach

Stephen Berry of Portland was then
called and in response to Mr.. Baker S
questions testified in substance as fol-
lows: Have done auditing on State
printing for IS years by appointment
of Governor and Council. Have been a
practical printer for over 80 years.
PILLS to be audited are sent me by eX-
press with receipts attached and also
sample of work whether it be an en-
rclopc or copy of State reports. Each
piece Of job work is numbered. as this
makes it palmer than any description.
Descriptions would be confusing to me.
bui by IA system of numbers I know
just what the printer means. The COR
resi- onaiuS number is used on the re-
CeiptS from the department Tor which
the work is done and also on the sam
plc OF the work. The job work is of
all kinds and sizes and it would be
most impractical to attempt to file
away the samples and vouchers. l YER

state printer and make such correC-
tions as are required by the law. There
are additions and deductions made by
ne on the various bills if my meas
urements do not agree with the fig
ures on the bill. Then | return bills and
vouchers to the printer. This has been
the custom for IS years. In every i'll
stance my determination of the price
has been accepted by TN" Governor and
Council as final. My figures have new
