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
disinfectant and purifier in nature,
but few realize it's value when taken
into the human system for the same
cleansing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
you take of it the better; it is not a
drug at all, 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 inn
proves the complexion, it whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural
and emlnently safe cathartic.
1t absorbs 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 or large, pleasant tasting
lozenges, the charcoal being mixed
with honey.
Ihe daily use OF tneSe lozenges VIII
soon tell in a much improved condi-
ton OF the general health, better COM
plexion, sweeter breath and purer
blood, and the beauty of II is that no
possible harm can result from their
continued use. but on the contrary,
great benefit.
A Buffalo physician In speaking of
the benefits OF charcoal says; II ad-
wise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to an
stsar
and bowels, and to clear the oom-
plexion and purify the breath. mouth
and throat; ! also believe the liver is
greatly benefited by the daily use OF
them; they cost but twenty-five cents

That There Is Nothing to SUBJ

Hy Associated Press
ST. LOUIS, Jan. 14.-The invcstigat-
ing committee of the Missouri house OF
representatives sent to st. Louis to
determine the source and nature Of the
$4,000 contribution to the Republican
state campaign fund, officially credited
to Thomas K. Nedringhaus who was
chairman of the Republican state CEN
trail committee and is now caucus
nominee for United states sena tor, adj
journed tonight to meet in Jefferson
city Monday afternoon The senate
cations today.
According to the statement OF the
Republican members of the house COM
mittee, who constitute the majority,
the committee will report that its in
vestigations have found nothing to
substantiate Representative Grace's
charges that brewers contributed
money during the campaign to in
1uence legislation.
Adolphus Busch and Otto Stfel told
told last night by Mr.. Niedringhaus,
They said. as he had done, that their
contribution was guarantee to meet
a deficit, and entailed no promise of
favors for their business interests.
Mr.. Niedringhaus appeared before
the committee and asked to be per-
mitted TO make a voluntary statement.
He said r. c. Kerens, after the cleo
tion. offered to pay one-third of the
committee deficits.A Before the. cleo
tion, he said, Col Kerens and w. II.
Thompson had expressed a readiness
to stand their share of expenses. Mr..
Niedringhaus said he made this state
ment in justice to Mr.. Kerens and his
friends.
Questioned about the $25O0 which he
admitted was given by Mr.. Busch be-
fore, the meeting at. the Busch Sresi-
dence, at which arrangements for
guarantee fund were made, he said
that it was not originally given as a
guarantee, but was afterward applied
on the guarantee fund. He admitted
that the check for $25O0 was not entered
on the books.
Mr.. Neidringhaus suggested that
what was meant by the credit of
contribution of $21,O 900 to himself in the
report was that the contribution was
made by him as trustee. '>.
Thomas j. Atkins, national commit
teeman, denied that he had promised
federal jobs in return for votes for
Niedringhaus for United States sem
ator.
Judge Nortoni was asked if he knew
of any combination of members of the
assembly to refuse to vote for Kerens
if he was the caucus nominee. He said
