THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful il 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
tho 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
ir 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 whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural and
emnently safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; it
Gisinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one
fC rm or another, but probably the best
charcoal and the most for the money
is in Stuarts Charcoal LoZengerS;
they are composed of the finest pow
dered Willow charcoal, and other
harmless anti-septics in tablet form or
rather in the form of large, pleasant
tasting lozengers. the charcoal being
mixed with honey.
The daily use of these lozengers will
soon tell in a much improved condi-
ton of the general health. better COM
plexion 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,
great benefit.
\ Buffalo physician in speaking of
the benefits of charcoal, says: II ad-
wise Stuart's Charcoal Lozengers to all
patients suffering from gas in stomach
and bowels, and to clear the complex
ion and purify the breath. mouth and
throat; l also believe the liver is great

they cost but twenty-five cents a box
at drug stores, and although in some

BOATS FOR THE BRAzOS RIVER.

Waco, Texas, Aug. 2S.-Msyor
Baker is in receipt of letter from
Captain Edgar Jadwin, engineer
in charge Of the work on the
Brazos river, giving full informa-
ton concerning boats that are be-
ing constructed to operate on the
Brazos river where it is navigable
at this time. These boats will be
operated for the present between
Richmond and Galveston, the
work on the river being completed
this far.
He suggests in his letter that
the boats should be from seventy
five to 175 feet in length and from
seventeen to thirty-two feet wide,
drawing about twenty inches.
These boats should draw small
deckload, but the bulk Of their
load should be put on barges,
which draw less than the draft Of
the steamer loaded. In this way
he says that one or two feet less
draft can be secured and a cores
pondingly farther distance gone up
the river.
The engineer says the canal on
the river will be three feet by Jan
uary /, and the work to Old Wash
ington will be completed about
February /. The latter states that
much inconvenience has been oc-
casioned in the improvement of
the river on account of high water,
and it has been for this reason that
the work has progressed rather
slowly.
The engineer states that his re-
port on the upper Brazos is now in
the hands Of the board Of engineers
on rivers and harbors, but does
not intimate its contents.
In closing his letter, Captain
Jadwin states that he and a few
others will start at once by boat
from Richmond TO the month Of
the Brazos river, and extends
Mayor Baker and Congressman
Henry an invitation To Join him
and his party on this cruise. The
trip is 10 be made on a slernwheel-
ed launch and they will start to-
morrow evening or Friday morn
ing. II will take three days to
make the trip, barring accidents
and the invitation to Mayor Baker
and Congressman Henry is 30
cordial that il is quite likely that
one OF both will accept il.
