! THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful It Is In
Preserving Health and Beauty.

E
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 cleans
ing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
you take of it the better; 1t 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 i'm
proves the complexion, it whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural and
eminently safe cathartlc. ...5
It absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; it
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another, but probably the best
in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; thew
are composed of the finest powdered
Willow charcoal, and other harmless
antiseptics 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 a much improved condition
of the general health, better CON-
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.
A Buffalo physician in speaking of
the benefits Of charcoal, SAYS: 'I ad-

and bowels, and to clear the complex

Inside Nerves.

Sickness loses half its terrors when we strip
medicine OF Its MYSTERY. For most all forms
OF sickness start in the same way. The nerves
are weak. Not the nerves that govern your
movements and your thoughts.
But the nerves that unguided and unknown
night and day, keep your heart in motion-con-
troll your digestive apparatus-regulate your
hver-operate your kidneys.
These are the nerves that wear out and break
1t does no good to treat the ailing organ-the
Irregular heart-the dsordered liver-ths rebel
lious stomach-the deranged kidneys They are
not to blame. But go back to the nerves that
control them. There you will fnd the seat OF the
trouble.
There, is nothing new about this-nothing any
physician would dispute, But It remained for
DR.. Shoop to apply this knowledge-to put 1T to
practical use. Dr. Shops Restorative is the
result Of quarter century of endeavor along

high current. There was also much
alarm among residents of the lake

Twenty Persons Known to Be
Dead and More Than 100
Others Were Injured.
BODIES WERE BURNED TO A CRISP
A Full Box Car of Dynamite Exploded
Directly at the Middle of the
Express Train.
The Wreckage Took Fire and Entire
Train Was Consumed.-Scene of
the Wreck Was Visited by
$4,000 People.

Harrisburg, Pa, May 12.-TWenty
persons are known to be dead and
more than 100 others were injured in
the railroad wreck and dynamite ex-
plosion which occurred on the Penn
sylvania railroad in the southern part
of this city. That not more persons
were killed is considered remarkable
by the Pennsylvania officials as a full
box car of dynamite exploded directly
at the middle of a heavy express
train.
Most of the bodies are burned to a
crisp and in some cases arms and legs
are missing. Two of the bodies have
nothing left but portion of the trunk.
The wrecked train was the second
section of the Cleveland and Cincin-
natl express leaving Philadelphia. it
consisted of combination baggage
and smoking car, one day and six
sleepers.
There are various stories of how the
wreck occurred but the Official version
is as follows:
Cause of the Wreck.
The engine on an eastbOund freight
train was tagged by the crew of q
shifting engine ahead on the same
track. The engineer quickly put on
his airbrakes and the train, an UNI
usually long one, came to sudden
halt The strain on the air valves was
severe one, and connecting air
hose in the middle of the train blew
out. This caused the middle of the
cars fell over on the passenger tracks.
Just as this happened the express
came laundering up and "side-swiped"
the wreck. The express was stopped
within it's own length, and the third
sleeper was opposite the wrecked cars.
ger train, which was not very badly
damaged, a few slight explosions Oc
cured, and then there was one great
fash and roar that shook the earth.
The whole affair occurred within a
period of a few seconds.
A scene of horror followed the ex-
plosion of the dynamite. The passen-
ger cars and some of the freight cars
instantly took fire.
The Work OF Rescue.
The work of rescue was at first slow
and it seemed as though the flames
would envelope the entire express
train before those who were pinned be-
meath the heavy wreckage could be
freed. From everywhere there came
cries for help, and the frantic res
cuers worked with willing hands.
Scores of them who were trapped in
their sleeping berths or pinned under
wreckage were taken out and laid in
the field badly hurt.
The rapid advance of the fire drove
the rescuers back as they were about
to take others from the wreck, and the
unfortunates, men and women, were
soon enveloped in flames. The cries Of
the dying were heartrending, but moth
ing could be done for them. The en-
tire train was consumed by fire.
The scene of the wreck was visited
by probably more than $4,000 persons.
They came from Lancaster and from
all small towns within so miles.
