THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful IL IL In
Preserving Health and Beauty.

Preserving Health and Beauty.
Nearly everybody knows that charcoal Is
the safest and most efficient disinfectant
and purifier in nature, but few realize its
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; 1t is not 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 sys-
TEN.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after smok-
ing, 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.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which col
lect in the stomach and bowels; It disin-
fects the mouth and throat from the
poison Of eatarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one form or
another, but probably the, best charcoal and
the most for the money is in stuart's Char
coal 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 tast-
ing lozeages, the charcoal being mixed
with honey.
The daily use OF these lozenges will soon
tell E. a much improved condition Of the
general health, better complexion, sweeter
breath and purer blood. and the beauty of
1t is that no possible harm can result from
their continued use. but, on the contrary,
great benefit.
A Buffalo physician, in speaking OF the
dement's OF charcoal. says: II advise
stuarts Charcoal Lozenges to all patients
suffering from gas In the stomach and
bowels, and 20 clear the complexion 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 a box at drug stores
and although In some sense a patent prep
aration. yet / believe l get more and bet
ter charcoal In stuart's Charcoal Lozenges
than in any Of the ordinary charcoal tab

G. S. Harrison Produces New Varieties
of Many Plants.

OF many FAAhNA
YORK. Neb.. Sept. 23.-(specisl) MANY
have watched with interest the expert
ments Of c. s. Harrison. the Nebraska
flower wizard in propagatlng plants, and
his many friends are pleased to learn that
horticulturists from all parts Of the world
are paying tribute to Mr.. Hsrrison's sue
cess and achievements with which he has
improved plants and shrubs, increasing
their beauty, changing at will colors OF
flowers, producing new varieties, increas-
ing the size. making old plants more hardy
and making longer seasons OF bloom with
increased beauty What Luther Burbank,
the fruit wizard of California, has done
for fruit c. s. Harrison Of York has
achieved for flowers the same results. Mr..
Harrisons success has been largely as
sisted by the wonderful fertility OF York
county soil and the climate of Nebraska.
One of Mr.. Harrison's favorites is the
peony. He has taken the old-fashioned
peony and produced varieties that have
the fragrance OF the rose, SURPRISING 1t
in form, beauty and loneliness. Others pro-
duced have the odor OF the palm lily. others
the perfume Of the hellotrope and some the
odor Of the cinnamon. When you consider
that fifty years ago there were only twen-
ty-hve varieties of peonies and that Mr..
gardens at York one can hardly realize
what his experiments are producing and
the achievements he has made.
In illacs Mr. Harrison has produced forty
varieties. Nearly everyone remembers that
In May is the only time that lilacs bloom
and II rains are general they spoil in
day or two. but by grating and throwing
away the imperfect ones he has expert
mented and produced lilacs that bloom in
the early part Of June and another variety
that bloom in July and 10 producing lilacs
that are white, yellowish white, deep pur-
pie and light purple. In his experiments
with phloxes. Of which he raised 10000 last
year and the coming year expects to raise
5000, he has taken wild phloxes, which
have flowers the size of a dime and i'm
proved them in dimension to the size OF
a silver dollar. Out Of the thousands that
he planted last year he secured but twenty
very choice varieties. some Of which bore
flowers larger than dollar. The column
bine is another flower that Mr.. Harrison
has experimental with and improved and
has them with all colors of the rainbow.
Mr.. Harrison has produced new varieties
Of the oriental poppy, one specimen meas
uring nearly ten inches In diameter. His
new variety is OF velvety black. He has also
produced It in a charming salmon pirk.
Mr.. Harrison believes that the farmers
of Nebraska. II they would devote little
time and try to ascertain some knowledge
of propagating the growth of wheat, corn
and other grains. they would increase the
yield and variety. He believes that he
| could start in with an acre of land rails
ing corn and that by the care and zeal he
has employed in the growth of flowers ex-
pended upon corn he could produce 200
| bushels to the acre

some of the pieces. 1t is supposed
that when part way up he was seized
with fainting spell or stroke of
paralysis, falling backward upon the
stone base, striking his head thereon,
and cutting in it a severe cash three
inches long. John McAndrews in the
Journal office heard the fall. and going
outside found him where he fell, a
stream of blood flowing from his head.
He was carried into Mackenstadt g
tailor shop and physicians called,
who dressed the wound, and he revived
enough to walk up stairs. Soon after
ward his mind became effected, and
during the night he passed into an I'M
conscious state, in which he fingered
without again becoming conscious,
passing away at 10 40 O'Clock Monday
night. 1t is presumed that he was
attacked by a stroke Of paralysis,
caused by the crushing of the skull.
Charles Goltz was born in Berlin,
Germany, Nov. 80, 1928, and was in
his eighty-second year. He was
married in Germany to Caroline
Noske, soon afterward coming to
America. He settled at Davenport,
Iowa, where for several years he
engaged in the undertaking business,
coming to DEBORAH in 1857, since
which time he has been in the furni-
ture and undertaking business. Mrs.
Goltz died a nubmer of years ago,
also the oldest son, Earnest. -Four
children survive him, Mrs. ]. w.

home.
The funeral services will be held
this Wednesday afternoon at two
O'Clock at Grace Episcopal church,
Rev. VIM. McVettie officiating, after
which the local Masonic lodge will
have charge of the burial ceremony,
Through his long residence here,
Mr.. Goltz had become widely known,
and the grief at his untimely death
will be universal. He was of genial,
kindly disposition. upright in his deal
ings, and manly in character.
