THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How UsesuE It is im
 Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that char- coal is the safest and most efficient disinfectant and purifier in nature. but few realize its value when taken into the human system for the same cieans-i ing purpose.
 Chareoal 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 intestines and car- ries them out of the system.
 Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking, drinking or eating onions and other odorous vegetables.
 Charcoal effectually clears and im- proves the complexion. 1t whitens the teeth and further acts as q natural and eminently safe cathartic.
 It absorbs the injurious gases which collect in the stomach and bowels; it disinfects the mouth and throat from the poison of eatarrh.
 All druggists sell charcoal in one form or another. but probably the best charcoal ana the most for the money is in stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; 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.
 The daily use of these lozengea win soon tell in much improved condition of the general health. better complex- ion, sweeter breath and purex blood, and the beauty of 1t is, that no possi- ble harm can result from their contin-. ued use. but on the contrary great benefit.
 A Buffalo physician in speaking o9 the benefits of charcoal. says: n ad-' wise Stuart's Charcoal Lozengea to an patients suffering from gas In stomach and bowels. and to clear the compIex- ion and purify the breath. mouth and throat; also believe the liver is great ly benefited by the daily use of thems at drug stores. and although in some sense a patent preparation. yet ! be- Iieve I get moro and better charcoal than In any of the ordinarx charcoa1 ltablets

sThe BlIIIonaIre v


 In its externals 'The Millionaire" Is a great show" the word meaning dis play. As a musical entertainment 1t falls short of being a success.
 For gilded nonsense "The Billion aire" takes the last cake out of the pantry. But musical comedy-never!
 Men and women who went to the Montgomery Theatre last night to see armies of show girls in every concelv- able fantastic garb forming beautiful pictures, had their fill. Those who went to the theatre to hear music were disappointed, unless they felt re- paid by the excellent music rendered by the large and intelligent orchestra accompanying "The Millionaire" com pany. It is true there are some rem iniscent musical numbers in the piece. like ''Glory'' and Linda I.ee," but they have been sung better in Mont gomery.
 Early in the performance one learn ed to rely on the female chorus for completest satisfaction. Tn singing, In training. in good looks and in costum- ing the female chorus was well nigh perfect. These girls have been under master hand. They made the en- sembles of The Millionaire" the fea- ture of the entertainment
 The man who selected the thirty or more young women in this chorus Is connoIsseur in female beauty. There were women of every type and some of them so young and fresh-loolIing that they ought to be at home with their mothers.
 And the women wore ravishiRg gowns and doublets, costumes that made the eyes dance with joy. One expects this sort of thing from Klaw and Erlanger and there Is no fault to be found with either the costuming or the scenic equipment of 'The Billion aire."
 Much Is said of the female chorus because the women served to accen- tuate the shortcomings of their male companions. At one time the male chorus actually went lame.
 "rhe Millionaire" starts off fine. Right at the beginning last night the great audience-next to the largest of the season-sat up straight and shook realization that the best thing of the fessed that this feeling dwindled as the entertainment progressed. When the last curtain fell we wondered at that earlier feeling and recalled that if was due to that self same snappy, gingery happyhearted chorus of pret- ty singing women who had introduced the first act.
 All praise to this boduet of Amerl- can beauties! They are to be remem- bered for their usefulness last even ing.

to 'sThe Billionaire' which Is an amiable satire on our American follies The story develops a newly rich moth CT, sort of Mrs. Burlington, who tray- els abroad seeking titled husbands for her two pretty daughters. She is so anxious to capture nobleman that she is deceived Into believing the wait CTS in the hotels are lords in disguise. This American mother meets at Nice, John Doe, an American, who has mon ey to burn. Doe comes to the rescue 1f Pansy Good, demure maiden from Bird Centre, Iowa, just as she is put out of a hotel for failure to pay board bill Pansy is abroad studying music. Doe decides to take the demure maiden to New York that she may make her debut In his own theatre.
 The foregoing leads to the depend- ent scene of "The BiIlionaire"--the scene that disclosed "a theatre within theatre" This Is a great novelty, and as 1t was splendidly executed, 1t won the enthusiastic approval of last nights audience. The scene enabled the actors to caricature the foibles of an audience. and it was very funny, in fact, the funniest thing in the play.
 Mir. Seabrooke was satisfactory as John Doe. He was throughout, the clever comedian we have known be- fore. but somehow one felt there was too much restraint about the part pro- vided for him.
 Miss Diamond Donner, a show girl, who captured the East with her vlvacity, was Pansy Good. Miss Don- ner was as graceful as lawn, a swan, or any other old thing that typi- fies the embodiment of grace. Her nlmbleness and her pretty face. coupled with the delft handling of her skirts. captivated the audience. It Is a pity Miss Donner cannot sing.
 The characterization of the parvenu mother by Josie Intropidi was excep- tionally clever, and Harry McDonough was funny as Baptiste, 0 French waiter. He was the only principal whose singing voice was good enough for the professional stage.
 No one could have desired more effec- tive stage settings or more gorgeous costumes which is getting back to that chorus of women who worked like they were doing 1t for the fun of the thing. They were worth the price of admis- sion. They helped I''rhe Millionaire" nightly.

 The horses broke loose from the bug gy and were saved. MT. Rice was not much damaged.
