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 dis
infectant and purifier in nature, but
few realize its va5ue when taken into
the human system for the same cleans
ing purpose
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
you take of it the better; it is not
drug at all, but simply abscrbs the
gases and impurities always present in
the stomach 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 effectually clears and i'm
proves the complexion. it Whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural
and eminently safe cathartfc.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; it
dfsinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another, but probably the best
charcoal and the most for the money
is in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges: thew
are composed of the finest powdered
Willow charcoal, and other harmless
lantiseptics in tablet form or rather in
the form of large, pleasant tasting

Democracy had united, and that its

How TO Become Disease Proof

1t has already been suggested that
the appendix should be removed from
every infant as a routine measure. But
this is clearly insufficient, says the
British Medical Journal. The surgery
of the future must include far more
than this. The tonsils and turbinate
bones Of the nose must be cut out, be-
cause they may harbor germs. What
Arbuthnot Lane calls the human cess
pool" Chat is the large intestine) +,
must be removed along with consider
able part Of the upper portion of the
alimentary canal, because it won't be
needed wnen we begin to live on M.
Berthelot's tabloids and pills. The
too readily decaying teeth will be
pulled out in early life and the germ
proof store variety inserted. The falling
human eye will be anticipated by
spectacles in early youth. Deficient
moral sense and degeneracy will be
treated by ventilation of the brain and
removal of the offending areas.
Thus protected against the perils Of
civilization, the man I'm the coming
centuries will be able in his journey
through life to defy the countless enc
mics that seek to rob him of health
sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans
everything.

Quick Wit a Strong Factor.

Some of the noblemen Of Europe owe
their present positions and stations OF
honor to the presence of mind and fore
thought of their ancestors during ex-
tremely critical moments. A hiccough,
for instance, Is the cause Of the Kin
skys' princely rank in Austria. 1t
seems that during the midst Of some
great court function at Vienna the En-
press Maria Theresa had the misfor-
tune to hiccough so violently as to
cause, not only herself, but her court,
great embarrassment. In the midst OF
her bewilderment young Count Kinsky
stepped forward, and with a most
clever assumption of intense mortifica-
tion and humiliation, asked her pardon
for his breach of good manners. The
Empress received his apology with not
only good grace, but gratitude and be-
fore long the young nobleman was be-
slowed with high court honors and
decorations.
Another story II told how the EN-
peror Napoieon III when out hunting
one day, being a very poor marksman,
fired at pheasant, but instead hit
General Massena, destroying the sight
Of one Of his eyes. No one could doubt
who had fired the shot, but General
Massena turned round and soundly be-
rated General Berthier, who had been
standing behind him, which castigation
Berthier at once accepted and appeared
overcome with remorse. Napoleon was
grateful to both for thus shielding him,
and overwhelmed them both with
honors and dignity.
