The Value of Charcoal.

FEW PEOPLE KNOW HOW USEFUL 1T is IN
PRESERVING HEALTH AND BEAUTY.
Nearly everybody knows that charcoal Is the SAT-
est and most efficient disnfectant and purifier In
ma ture, 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
1t the better; 1t is not drug at all, but simply
absorbs the gases and impurities always present In
the stomach and intestnes and carries them of
the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking.
drinking after eating onions and other odorous
vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and improves the
complexion, 1t whitens the teeth and further acts
as a natural and eminently safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which collect In
the stomach and bowels 1t disinfects the mouth
and throat from the poison OF catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one form or an
other. but probably the best charcoal and the
most for the money is in Stuarts Charcoal Loz-
enges; they composed Of the finest powdered
Willow charcoal, and other harmless antisep.Ics In
tablet form, rather In the form Of large, pleas
ant tasting lozenges, the charcoal being mixed with
honey.

Swayne. Federal Judge


president pro tempore OF the senate.
He would have succeeded to the presi-
dency of the United States If Mr.. john
son had been convicted, and objection
was made that Mr.. Wade's intimate
connection with the case might preju-
dice his vote. No official action was
taken, but Mr.. Wade refrained from
voting until the final issue. when he ex-
ercised his privilege.
President Johnson did not appear In
person at his trial. To have done so
would of course, have been mira dignt-
tatem. Belknap was present during his
trial, as were also the federal judges at
their hearings. There is nothing to
prevent Judge Swayne from attending
the sessions of the court of impeach-
ment, and it is probable that he win
avail himself of the privilege. He may
even appear as a witness in his own
behalf if he is permitted so to do. AZ
though no such precedent has ever been
made. It is a strange fact that the right
of unlimited debate which prevails in
the senate on most occasions is with
held in impeachment proceedings. All
questions of evidence must be decided
by the senate without debate.
In his defense Judge Swayne hled
with the subcommittee letters of in
dorsement from seventeen lawyers ana
five other persons recommending his
appointment to the supreme court
bench of the United States to succeed
Justice Field. He also filed twenty four
letters. mostly from Florida attorneys.
recommending his appointment to the
circuit judgeship of the new circuit
which was created by congress in 1893
In his brief SWayne states that he was
born in Delaware in 1912. read law in
Philadelphia. and was admitted to
practice there. In 1885 he removed to
Florida. where he practiced his profess
sion until he was called to the bench. in
1889. He admits that he has never been
a registered voter anywhere and that
he spends his summers in Delaware,
but denies that he has neglected his
work. He declares that the charges
against him are due to political enmi-
ties. TRUMAN L. ELTON.

1888. He began the practice Of his pro-
fession in Cleveland as a member of the
firm of Garfield, Garfield & Howe. He
entered the political field almost imme-
diately and was prominent in several
campaigns. Mr.. Garfield was elected to

He was the author of the Garfield cleo

for elective offices to file with the sec
rotary of state a sworn statement OF
expenses incurred during the campaign.
The law, however. was subsequently, re-
pealed. He was made member Of the
national civil service commission by
President Roosevelt and served in that
capacity until the organization of the
new department of labor and commerce.
when he became commissioner Of cor
porations under Secretary CorteIyou.
The office was an entirely new one,

there are a few jurists who insist that
the lords were mistaken in applying the
principle of trusts to a church which is
not a body with fixed articles of asso-
citation, but a body with inherent DOW
ers of growth. Be that as it may, ev-
cry one is convinced that the decision
will work great hardship and that It
cannot be carried out in it's entirety.
Even if they should take possession Of
everything, which the lords decision
permits them to do, the Wee Frees
would be unable to carry on the work
of the church. For the support of home
congregations alone more than 81 ,OOO,-
600 a year is required. The Wee Frees
can raise only $40, 600 or $4,000 at the
very best. The same statement applies
to missions, which are supported by
current subscriptions. The Wee Frees
would be obliged to abandon mission
work altogether. However devoted the
Wee Frees may be to the cause of free
Presbyterianism in Scotland-and their
devotion is admitted even by their op-
ponents-they will find it impossible to
maintain the machinery of a church
which has taxed the resources of it's
members in the richest parts Of Scotland.
Lord Davey, himself a Scotchman and
one of the judges who gave the deci-
sion. has suggested that the most equi-
table plan would be to divide the prop
'erty in proportion to the sizes Of the
two sections.
Since the lords Judgment was made
public, Aug. 1, 1904. there has existed
constant state OF wrangling and litiga-
ton of various forms. About the mid
die of November a great convocation
of ministers and elders assembled at
Edinburgh to devise some means of re-
lief and in the evening a great public
meeting was held in the Waverley Mar
ket hall, at which over 10000 persons
were present. Special trains were run
from all parts of Scotland, and mes
sages of sympathy were received from
all parts of the world. The situation is
certainly unique and full of possible
ties. ALEX NJ. PALMER.

Tense to the orthodox few who were al
ready antagonistic to the sweeping the
illogical changes which had been made.
They smothered their indignation
awhile longer, but after about eight
years the Free church united with an
other Presbyterian body, which had
been formed out of the odds and ends
OF all species of Calvinistic dissent, the
United Presbyterians, and took the
name of the United Free church. This
was the straw that broke the camePs
back The little band of orthodox Free
church men refused to enter the union
and laid claim to all the property of the
Free church on the ground that the ma
jOrity had abandoned its original iden-
tity. The Scottish courts decided
against their claim, and they carried
their grievance to the house of lords
and gained the victory.
The decision of the lords is most
astonishing when the comparative
strength of the two divisions is consid-
cred. There were 1,1O4 congregations
in the Free church at the time of the
union OF these 1.07S pronounced in ia

exercise of this great governmental
power of inquiry"
Federal and state antitrust legisIa-
ton, Mr.. Garfield thinks, resolves itself
into two classes-one aimed at the pro-
hi5ition of monopoly and restraint of
trade and the other directed toward re-
bates, Determinations and unfair COM
petition. The first has proved to be sin
gularly ineffective, and the second might
be remedial if it were honestly applied.

or perhaps none at all, and so obscure
as to defy Interpretation by the very Of
icials appointed to execute them.
Still following the commissioners line
of argument, it appears that an exam

nomic questions shows two classes of
such statutes, one effective and the 9TH
er the reverse. Under the first class are

forms of business, regulation of corpo-
rate organization and management,
safety appliances, prevention of fraud,
ETC., all of which have been enforced
and have accomplished good. To the
other class belong usury laws, absolute
regulation of prices. antitrust laws and
antispeculation laws. These have not
only proved their utter worthlessness as
remedial measures, but have often been
distorted into producing an effect ex-
actly opposite that originally intended.

President Andrew Johnson, impeached
on March 4, 1868. He was charged with
violating the tenure of ONCE act. with
conspiring to prevent the execution of
the law and with many other offienses.
The trial occupied nearly three months
and resulted in the presidents acquittal
by a single vote. The seventh i'm
parchment recorded is that of William
w. Belknap, secretary Of war under
President Grant. He was charged with
corruption in office, but was not con-
victed. He resigned before the i'm
parchment proceedings were begun, but
the case went on.
Speaker Cannon selected the mana
gers for the house in the Swayne case,
yet that was not the historic practice.
In the Beiknap Impeachment they were
chosen by a resolution offered from the
floor. In the Johnson case they were OBJ
tanned by ballot. If the accused were a
person of great eninence it is likely that
the choice by ballot would be preferable.
But the house has rarely resorted to
this method, and if it should do so it
would be by a resolution naming the
men. and these selections would be the
outcome of a caucus. The minority
party is given representation, although
all must be in favor of impeachment.
The Impeachment trial of Andrew
Johnson was such an unusual event
that it was, conducted in a manner be-
fitting its Importance. The house OF
representatives resolved itself into a
committee of the whole and accompa-
MED it's managers to the senate. All the
house clerks and doorkeepers also went
to the senate chamber. The house and
its attaches were received by the senate
with marked solemnity and were pro-
vided with seats. The speaker was Civ
en- seat beside the president of the
upper house. On the opening of the
case and during the entire trial the
chief justice presided. This was neces.
sary on account of the fact that thI
virtual head of the senate was next il
succession and was consequently an in.
terested party. An interesting featur,
of the trial was the challenging of tn,
vote of Senator Wade of Ohio. who wa.

it will be profitable to make a brief
study of the conditions which obtained
in that country previous to the disturb
ing verdict
Since the days when the redoubtable
John Knox promulgated the doctrines
which led up to the Westminster Con-
fession Scotland has maintained a 10y
atty to Presbyterianism equaled only
by SPANS fidelity to the Roman pom
tiffs. There are, TO be sure, three kinds
of Presbyterians in the land, and this
difference in degree has been the imme-
date cause Of the bitter controversy
which has been provoked by the lords
decision. First and most important in
q sense is the Established Church of
Scotland. It's ministers draw their en-
doWments from the tithes derived from
the remnant of the lands once held by
the Roman church and rescued from
the subsequent rapacity of the mobiles.
It represents the authorized conserva-
tive Presbyterian element and need as
sumo a defensive attitude only when it
is threatened with disestablishment. It
is doubtless very greatly interested in
the present upheaval, but it is not one
of the principals in the conflict It is
not the largest Presbyterian body in
Scotland in point of numbers. That
distinction belongs to the United Free
church.
The Free church was formed in 1913
by the withdrawal of a large number of
ministers and members from the
Church of Scotland. They did not so
much protest against the idea of a state
church, but they upheld that it should
be a national church independent of the
civil magistrate. In their "Claim of
Right" they asserted; I'VE are not vol
