Residents OF Bangor. Me. and those
living within a radius of twenty-five
miles of the city have heard or seen
Daniel Tompson, known as "Old
Dan Tompson, or Bangor's giant.
He was the tallest man without a
doubt in that city, and always walked
with a huge cane.
"Old Dan" was not supposed by
most people to be very bright. He
made himself privileged character
about the city, walking at will into
stores and other places of business
of any kind, school houses and private
residences.
Dan called at a grocery store one
day. He sometimes bought small
articles there. and had paid for them.

A Berlin physician says that out of
/ 1000 girls who played the piano be-
fore the age of twelve years, he found
800 cases of nervous diseases; whereas
out of the same number who did not
pay the instrument he found 100 cases.
The author of these experiments states
that the piano should never be used by
a child before the age of sixteen years,
and only two hours a day at the max

To the housewife who has not yet
become acquainted with the new things
of everyday use in the market and
who Is reasonably satisfied with the
old. we would suggest that trial OF
Defiance Cold Water Starch be made
at once. Not alone because 1t is guar
anteed by the manufacturers to be SUI
perior to any other brand. but because
each 10c package contains 16 ozs..
while all the other kinds contain but
u ozs. 1t Is safe to say that the lady
who once uses Defiance Starch will use
no other. Quality and quantity must
win.

The Japs tore loose from the "also
ran" division Of the percentage col
umn of the indoor league Friday night
by besting the Bankers and trimming
them easily by the score Of 81 to Ia.
The trick was turned by the harder
hitting of the winners, aided by the
good pitching Of Heitshu. The Bankers
no longer had Grumme to help out in
the box, and Sieg proved rather easy
for the Japs who landed on him repeat
eddy. In only one inning did the Japs
fail to score, while they blanked the
Bankers in three different rounds. The
Bankers took the lead from the get
away, but were tied in the second,
passed in the third and beaten from
then on to the finish. The Bankers
took a brace in the ninth, and hit in
three scores after two were gone but 1t
was too late. The teams lined up as
follows:
Janps-Gettle, catch: Heitshu, pitch;
Houghland, first; Berggren, second;
Lincoln, third; Dyer, right short; Swab

Lounsberry, right field.
Bankers-Doolittle, catch: Sleg,

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know Hiw Useful It Is in
PRESERVING Health and Beauty.

Few People Know Hiw Useful It Is in
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 clean
sing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
YOU take Of it the better; it is not
drug at all, but simply absorbs the gas
es 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 after eating on
ions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and I'M
proves the complexion, it Whltens the
teeth and further acts as a natural ana
eminently safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases Whlch
collect in the stomach and bowels; IL
disinfects 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; they
are composed of the finest powered
Willow charcoal. and other harmless
anticeptics in tablet form, or rather
in the form of large, pleasant tasting
lozenges, the charcoal being mixed with
honey
The daily use OF these lozenges will
soon tell in much improved condi-
ton of the general health, better COM
Dlexion, sweeter breath and purer
blood, and the beauty of it is, that no
possible harm can result from their
continued use, but on the contrary,
sreat benefit.
A Buffalo physician in speaking OF
me benefits of charcoal, says: Il adj
Use Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all
ltients suffering from gas In the
;tomach and bowels, and to clear the
complexion and purify the breath,
aouth and throat; I also believe the
iiver is greatly benefited by the daily
Sc Of them; they cost but twenty five
ents box at drug stores, and altho
n some sense patent preparation, yet
believe get more and better char
coal in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges
han in any Of the ordinary charcoal
tablets"

LOCAL COMMENT

Was some one trying to assist the
board of health in removing the old
Delilah Brown shack at Church and
Third? The city health physician has
recommended that the building be des-
troyed, because of its unsanitary con-
dition. 1t may be the proper thing
to get rid of the building, but If 1t is
to be burned, let the proper authors
ties take it in charge, and not some
incendiary, in the dead of night.
With the beginning of the new year
the T.-R. has already had occasion to
announce the addition to the retail
mercantile interests of the city of sew
eral new places Of business. Evident
ly there are some who have confidence
in the future growth of Marshalltown,
and are willing to invest their money
in business, even tho in the line In
which there Is already established
competition. The merchants in any
town who succeed are those who are
liberal advertisers, and are constantly
reaching out for more trade. They
are not satisfied with the trade they
are getting, even tho 1t may yield them

want more business, and more business
they get by judicious newspaper adver-
Using. With daily paper that is
constantly growing each day, covering
more and more territory in the best
of farming communities tributary to
Marshallown, the merchants find me-
dunn whereby they can reach almost
every home that is occupied by peo-
pie who are able to buy. These peo-
pie are watching for bargains in retail
lines with an interest equal to that OF
their city friends. and with a notice Of

Marshalltown to take advantage of
what Is offered them. Marshalltown
is the wonder of many cities of the
state, in the amount of retail BUSH
ness done among rural patrons. and for
the most part 1t Is the most desirable
business to be had.
The closing of saloon on South
Third avenue because. as it is alleged,
q property holder demanded pay for
his consent, calls to mind contention
which prohibitionists in this city have
been making, viz: that such consent
obtained for a consideration is not
valid. They are armed with decision
of an Illinois supreme court in Theu-
rer VS.. People ex rel Deneen, in which
a man on Cottage Grove avenue, Chi
cago, protested against a saloon be-
ing licensed to do business near his
property. The saloonkeeper then leas-
ed this mans building at an annual
rental Of $1,000, and Immediately
thereafter he withdrew his protest and
signed an application for the saloon
license. 1t was held that the mans
consent had been purchased and was
therefore not valid and it was declared
that the saloon had not obtained the
consent of the required frontage adj
jacent property. Owing to the saloon
agitation that is appearing in Mar
shalltown this South Third avenue
grog shop could not afford to take
chances on running with an adjacent
property owners consent invalidated
by reason Of price paid. Other sa-
looms in this city should look to their
standing as there are more cases than
one of consent obtained by purchase.
