THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL
Few People Know How Useful 1t is In
Preserving Health and Beauty

Few People Know How Useful 1t Is In
Preserving Health and Beauty
Nearly everybody knows that charcoal 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 remedy that the more you
take of it the better; it Is not a drug at
all, but simply absorbs the gases and i'm :
purities always present in the stomach
and intestines and carries them out of the
system.
smoking, drinking or after eating onions
and other odOrOuS vegetables
Charcoal effectually clears and improves
the complexion. it whitens the teeth and
further acts as a natural and eminently
safe cathartic.
It absorbs the Injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; 1t dis
infects the mouth and throat from the
poison of scatarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one form
or another. but probably the best char
coal, and the most for the money Is In
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they are COM
posed of the finest powdered Willow char
coal and other harmless antiseptics, In
tablet form, or rather in the form of large,
pleasant tasting l0zengeSs the charcoal be-
ing mixed with honey.
The daily use of these 1ozenges will soon
tell in much improved condition of the
er breath and purer blood. and the beauty
of 1t is, that no possible harm can result
from their continued use. but on the con-
trary great benefit.
A Buffalo physician In speaking of the
benefits of charcoal, says: 81 advise
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to ali patients
suffering from gas in stomach and bowels,
and to clear the complexion and purify
the breath, mouth and throat; I also be-
leve the liver is greatly benefited by the
daily use Of them; they cost but twenty
five cents a box at drug stores, and al
though in some sense patent prepare tion
yet I believe I get more and better char
coal in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges than
In any of the ordinary charcoal tablets

MCCONNELL
DEFENDS MORnONS
Witness for smoot Says Idaho
Mormon Legislators Are
Better Than GentiIes

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 11.-Testi-
mony intended to prove that the Mormon
moral is of the highest type and to re-
flute the word of witnesses who have de-.
clared the contrary to be true, was Of
fered by counsel for Senator Reed Smoot
today. w. J. Mcconnell, formerly Unit
ed States senator from Idaho twice gov
ernor of his state and a member of the
Presbyterian church, and Representative
Burton L. French, a member of the pres
sent congress and reelected for another
term, were the days witnesses. 1t was.
the opening session of the defense in the
Smoot investigation. There is a sentiment
in the committee in favor of pressing the
investigation to a conclusion, and it was
announced that beginning tomorrow longer
sessions will be held.
Both witnesses today denied many
statements directed against the Mormon
church and its alleged interference in
political affairs. Mr.. Mcconnell said that
the Gentle members of the Idaho legisla-
ture have not as high morals as the Nor.
mon members, and that If it were not for
questions Of geography and knowledge of
legislative needs, the interests of the state
would be better served by an entire Nor
mon legislature.
Practice Science of Poker
He declared that he was prejudiced
most OF the Genti1es in the legislature
were practicing 1.-THE science which in our
country is called poker He said he had
never known Mornnons to gamble and
drink. He followed this testimony with a
review of his acquaintance with Mormons
during the agitation against the religion in
Idaho. He assisted in bringing about the
repeal of the test oath of citizenship and
afterward went among the Mormons on
a lecture tour. He had observed the peo-
pie, he said, and their morals were of
high, praiseworthy character. The wit
ness was asked concerning causes of the
Mormon vote being cast for Gooding in
his canvass for the goyernorship, and said
he was surprised that any Mormon had
voted the Democratic ticket. He gave as
one reason that he had challenged Senator
Dubois to a public debate and received
an answer declining the invitation on the
ground that he could not afford time to
debate with any one who was candidate
for Office in the party which was 'sde-
Tending criminals, as he believed the Nor
mons to be.
Senator McComas objected to political
discussions, and when the witness di-
crossed to say that Democrats left their

Behold an old man with his crutch.

Upon his wrinkled brow sits Age;
And yet he hath for heritage
A brighter life, so spare your tear!
