ADVERTISEMENTS.
THE VALUE or CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful Ii Is
in Preserving Health and Beauty.


lin Preserving Health and Beauty
Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient
oisinfectant and purifier in nature, but
feA> realize its value 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, il is not a
drug at ell, but simply absorbs 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. ii whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural
and eminently safe cathartic
It sbsorbs the injurious gases which
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 powdered
Willow charcoal and other harmless
antiseptics in tablet form or rather in
the form of large, pleasant tasting
Iozengers. the charcoal being mixed
with honey.
The daily use Of these lozenges will
soon tell in q much improved condition
OF the general health, better complex
ion. sweeter breath and purer blood
and the beauty of il is, that no pos
sible harm can result from their con-
tinued use, but on the contrary. great
benefit.
a Buffalo physician in speaking OF
the benefits OF charcoal, says: Il ad-
wise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all
nsfients suffering from gas In stomach
and bowels. and to clear the complex
ION and purify the breath, mouth and
throat: ] also believe the liver is great
" benefited by the daily use or them;
thew cost but twenty-five cents a box
pf drug stores, and although in some
sense a patent preparation, yet | be-
iieve I get more and better charcoal IN
Rtuart's Charcoal Lozenges than IN any
Of the ordinary charcoal tablets.

FISHERMEN IN PERIL
Storm Nearly Drives Their Sloop

Storm Nearly Drives Their Sloop
Ashore at Santa Barbara.
SANTA BARBARA, March l6.-with
q furious southeaster blowing and the
sea running so high that no small boat
could have lived in IL for five minutes,
three fishermen were forced to remain
for tWenty-four hours on board a small
sloop, buffeted by the waves and In
momentary danger of being swamped-
Late this afternoon the seas abated
somewhat and three volunteers sue
cessfully lowered a small rowboat and
rescued the fishermen Captain Blair
and two seamen named Eggerty and
Wagner, all Of San Pedro, were the
men. who remained for SO many hours
in imminent danger on board Blair's
twenty fishing sloop Owl.
The party had been engaged in craw-
fish catching off Santa Cruz Island,
but We're blown across the channel in
the heavy storm of Sunday last and
put in 10 this port intending to repair
damages and return to the island this
morning. The three men went aboard

This morning a heavy southeast gale
commenced blowing and in a few min
utes the sea was running dangerously
high The Owl was in an exposed posi-
ton and was not securely enough an
chored to ride out the gale. Captain
Blair made signals TO be taken of, but
although q number volunteered to go
t. the rescue to launch a boat would
have meant certain destruction. After
successfully riding the gale for a num-
bel of hours the Owl was seen to drag
her anchor and drift toward the rocks,
but just at that time the sea suddenly
Gained with a change of the wind and
a rescue party composed of Captain

SUSPECTED RUSSIAN SPIES
SHOWN LITTLE CONSIDERATION
Found Aboard a Steamer Carrying
Pitch to Japan, Captain Puts
Them on an Island.

lncn1 on an ISldnO.
TACOMA. March 15.-The British
tramp steamship Nairn. now loading
here, carried cargo of pitch from
England TO Japan. While coaling one
night in the Suez canal two Russians
went aboard the steamship as stow
aways and were discovered several
days afterward. The suspicious of
Captain Nailey that the stowaways
might be Russian spies were some
what allayed when it was reported
Germans willing to work their way
to Japan. Soon afterward a young
German Seamen was requested to in
terrogate the men and learn their
plans. He reported they could not
speak word of German. Reaching
the conclusion that they were Russian
spies, Captain Nailey changed the
steamers course toward one of the
numerous small islands comprising
the Maldive group off the northeast
coast of Africa. The Russians put up
a vigorous protest against being land
ed and followed it by personal re-
sistance. They were forcibly bundled
into small boat, however, and pulled
ashore. With a revolver in the hands
of the mate they were compelled to
jump into the shallow water as the
beach was approached and wade
ashore. AS the Nairn's cargo was con-
signed to the Japanese Government
there was danger that the spies
might set IL afire.
