THEvALUE OF CHARCOAL
Few People Know How Useful 1t 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
the human system for the same
cleansing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
you take of 1t 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 i'm
proves 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; it
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 of large, pleasant tasting
lozenges, the charcoal being mixed
with honey.
The daily use of these lozenges will
soon tell in a much improved condi-
ton of the general health, better COM
pIexion, sweeter breath and purer
blood, and the beauty of il 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: 81 ad-
wise Stuart's Charcoal. Lozenges to all
patients suffering from gas in stomach
and bowels, and to clear the complex

Of Interest
TO Women.

Where are the things we labored Ger
On leisure afternoons of yore?
In what far attic do they hide?
beneath what mask of dust abide
Ihe things We cherished once so dear
The fancy work of yester-year?
Where are the flowers of wax and hair
The spatter work we thought so fair,
The cardboard notices dotted on
The pen-scratched paint called Kensington
The iambrequin of macreme
The fancy work of yesterday?
The sunfower and the cat-tail-why,
They raised us to esthetics high;
The painted tambourine, the spade
With winter landscape on it, made
our houses bloom, but now. alack,
Where does the gilded letter rack
FROM humble tOaSter made, appear?
Where are the things of yester-year2
Has Battenberg usurped the throne
In hearts that tatting used to own?
Can Teneriffe and drawnwork fill
Inc want in souls that used to thrill
Ger crazy quilts? Where is it, pray,
The fancy work of yesterday?
All, princess, tell us. if you will,
WHAT new conceits your leisure fill?
Since tidy, plaque, and throw are gone
What ist you spend your heart upon?
what new thing can you have so dear
AS fancy work of yester-year?

Periodic

The Bacbelor CIrl,s Grief.

A girl who was a Bachelor Girl sat in
her real masculine den and sighed Bit

"Alas!'' she moaned, and the burden

"Alasi 7 never can attain my ideal

just Published by the Century Co.
Now and again. and always as a fore
runner of family disaster, there comes
to the girl a vision of face. An artist
comes down and boards with this Amish
family to gather material for some
sketches. He seems wonderfully fasci-
mating to Sabina, used only to the broad
brimmed hats and stolid faces of
the farmer lads round about. His COM
ing is the beginning of a pathetic little
love-story, to which the occasional WIS.,
ion of the face adds a tragic note, end
ing-but the ending is too unusual to
spoil by telling. The story is one of the
late productions of the Century COM
pany.

as when il was written and as a. story
simple and straightforward, and delight
fully human and entertaining-it has
rarely been equalled. Fesv people have
understood what children like to read
so well as Mrs. Dodge and in Hans
Brinker' she wrote her best story. A
new edition of this book has just been
announced to be sold at a price of rs

pronounced a masterpiece by the major
fty of critics of Great Britain and

fishers are Herbert B. Turner & Co.

Clegg, has written another clever story

The reign of the lingerie blouse with
collar attached lessened the popularity
of the separate stock during the sum-
mer, but the chemisette and cuffs to
match have had SO great a vogue that
it kept busy the workfolk usually occu-
pied with stocks and turnovers. Even
now that cold weather is approaching
the chemisette shows no intention of
retiring from the field.
Many of the new frocks and blouses
are cut down at the throat after the
fashion SO popular during the summer,
and though something will surely have
to be worn under the filmy linen or
nousseline and lace to protect the chest
from winter winds the lingerie or all
lace chemisette will evidently be worn
to a, considerable extent with frocks of
wool or silk
In anticipation of such wear the max
ers are turning out new chemisettes
and chemisette and cuff sets, the cuffs
being in most cases exceedingly deep.
This is of. course due to the vogue of
the sleeve with closef1tting forearm or
plain, tight long cuff.

1t used to be the thing to adopt one
rose exclusively; sslother adopted
orchid; still another took violet. Now
1t is the style to mix many colors, says
writer in the New York Sun.
There are. women who still cling to
one kind of perfume. One woman in
New York always. uses altar of roses.
Buying it in the Orient, she gets it at
a moderate price. Then she uses it
sparingly but persistently.
The result is that everything she
wears has more or less rose upon it
and in it. Her very skirts are scented
with it.
To cap the climax she wears rose
color. Some days she is dressed in
deep rose. the color of the old fashion
ed crimson rose, another day she is in
wild rose pink. and again, in the
bright American Beauty color. She is
always dressed in rose color and the
scent of the rose always clings about
i her.
Another woman always wears the
orchid colors. She goes from orchid
to heliotrooe and back to violet and
then into purple and lavender. She
is always in the orchid tints or in those
that verge upon them
| Her perfumes are orchidlike and she
uses sachet powder, essence and ex-
| tract. Her aim is to get the faint deli
cacy of the flower perfume.
The new perfume is neither rose nor
orchid, neither heliotrope nor violet,
neither geranium nor clover. 1t is a
| combination of all.
There is a woman in New York who
makes it a business to choose your
perfumes for you.
How much money does it take to
keep fashionable women in per-
fumes?" was asked of her the other
day.
ssAbout $50 year" said she. THAT
is dollar week. This is a low esti-
mate. If the woman is very fashion
able and If it is her desire to keep
right at the height of style it costs
more, say SIS a week, sometimes SO.
1.-THE idea is to perfume your gowns,
your wardrobes, your house and all
your possessions. There must be a
lasting fragrance which is easily de-
Itected and which never wears off,
