THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL
Pew People Know How UsefuI II ls In Pre-.
serving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal Is the safest and most efficient
dlsinfectant and purifier i'm nature, but
few realize its 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; Il 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 q natural and
emlnently safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; It
dislnfects the mouth and throat from
the poison of catarrh.
Ali 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 formof large, pleasant tasting loz-
enges, 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 COM
plexion, 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 benefits of charcoal, says: "I adj
wise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all
patients suffering from gas in stom-
ach and bowels, and to clear the COM
plexion and purify the breath, mouth
and throat; 1 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 preparation, yet l
believe get more and better charcoal
in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges than in
any of the ordinary charcoal tablets"

THINKS AMUNDSEN SAFE
Norwegian Consul at San Francisco
Believes Report of Wreck Is
Erroneous
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 25.-Henry
Lund, the Norwegian consul at this
port, is in receipt of information rela-
tive to the Amundsen Arctic expedi-
tion which convinces him that the re-
port from Dundee, Scotland, that the
expedition ship Gjoa has been crushed
in the ice at Boothia Felix is erroneous.
The Dundee report was received from
Esqpimaux. Consul Lund has infor-
nation directly from Capt. Amundsen,
in the form of letters, which go to
show that the expedition passed Boo
thia Felix, where the disaster is re-
ported to have taken place some
months ago in safety.
These letters contain much of in
terest with regard to the expedition.
1t appears from them that the expedi-
tion expected to get through the north
west passage this year and to have
cleared the ice and sailed for San Fran
cisco during the present fall ,.-
The letters were received by Alex
ander Nansen of Christiania, brother
of DR.. Frithjof Nansen, three weeks
ago, and copies We're forwarded to Con-
sui Lund here. The letters were sent
by EsquimauX from the Gjoa magnetic
station, King Williams Land, to Hud-
son bay and brought out from there
by whalers. They were dated Novem-

son Of the late Irving M. Scott, the San
Francisco shipbuilder.
Todays automobile ride was part of
Mrs Harrisons program i'm entertain
ing Mr. and Mrs. Scott, who are inti-
mate friends of the Crocker family and
who came here recently on visit. The
party were riding from New York to
Hampstead colony Long Island, and
1t was about noon when the accident
occurred. Mrs. Scott told the details
of how the merry party, in the midst
of laughter from Mrs. Harrison, were

the road and thrown into a ditch, two

pinned under the heavy machine.
Had Started Down Hill
The automobile had Just started
down what is known as Thompsons
hill This place is a favorite speedway
for automobiles. AS the car began to
glide swiftly down Mr.. Scott and Mr..
Crocker were examining a road map,
while Mrs. Harrison and Mrs. Scott
were talking together and laughing
The chauffeur, Mrs. Scott, said after
ward, turned about on his seat and re-
marked that something was wrong
with the steering gear.
The next instant the machine
swerved sharply. The chauffeurs
frantic efforts to guide it back into
the road were fruitless, and the car
plunged toward a ditch at the side of
the road, with a telegraph pole looming
UP directly in it's course. 1t struck the
pole glancing blow and then toppled
into the ditch. Mrs. Harrison was
thrown under the machine, her head
pinned down by the heavy machine.
She was unconscious and it was af-
terward found that her neck had been
broken. Beside her, also pinned down
by the car, was her brother, but he was
not severely injured and was able to
free himself from the car. The other
three-Mrs. Scott, Mr. Scott and the
chauffeur-had been thrown clear Of
the machine. Mrs. Scott was hurled
across the ditch, landing ten feet be-
yond the machine and lay unconscious
where she fell. Her husband, although
still conscious, was unable to move for
some time. The chauffeur, also like
the other members OF the party, was
stunned.

the accident occurred. the road being
almost deserted at the time.
? The first persons to realize the ter
rible situation were Mr.. Crocker and
the chauffeur, who tried to free Mrs.
Harrison and found that they could
not lift the machine Mr.. Scott, with
broken rib, also Joined them, but still
the machine pressed upon the uncon-
scious woman. Mrs. Scott had by this
time been restored to consciousness,
and it was decided to send for help.

coming, two farm hands having seen
the accident and ran across the fields.
Another automobile came along about
the same time and the men were able
to raise the machine. Mrs. Harrison
was dying when her friends lifted her
up. She was hurried TO st. Johns hos
ptal In Long Island City, but she
died before reaching the hospital.
Later an ambulance was sent for Mr..
and Mrs. Scott, who after treatment
at the same hospital. were able to re-
turn to New York i'm a carriage.
Mr. Harrison was at his office in
New York when first informed of the
accident and was told that his wife
had been severely injured. He did not
know Of her death until he called at

in 1900. At the last gubernatorial elec-
tion in New York Mr.. Harrison was

Garage Keepers Explanation

Mr.. Gallagher, proprietor of the gar
age where the Harrison automobile
Is kept, said:
"The center of the boulevard where
the machine upset, is macadam road
thirty feet wide. On either side is an
asphalt cycle path and beyond that a
stretch of sand twelve feet wide. The
chauffeur was running the automobile
partly on the cycle path. The tire on
the front right wheel exploded, causing
the wheel to sag about four inches.
This swerved the machine to the right
and it darted over the cycle path into
the stretch of sand, and when it struck
the sand the chauffeur was unable to
manage it. 1t forged ahead for 16S feet
even after the tire burst, finally strik-
ing the telegraph pole, the impact with
which turned the automobile over.
There was nothing amiss with the
steering gear"
At the garage tonight an examination
showed that tire had burst and failed
to reveal any difficulty with the steer
ing gear.
According to arrangements for Mrs.
Harrison's funeral, special train will
be chartered, leaving New York on
Tuesday evening for San francisco.
When the train reaches the coast Mrs.
Harrison will be buried in the private
plot of the Crockers in Cypress Lawn
cemetery, near San Francisco. Before
the body is placed on the special train
there Will be a brief funeral service at
the Fifth avenue home of the Harri-
sons, q

Steering Gear Out Of Order

In explanation of the cause of the
accident 1t was said tonight that the
chauffeur threw off the clutch and al
lowed the automobile to run under it's
own momentum, which carried it too
fast, In some manner a thumbscrew
worked loose on the steering gear
handle, releasing a knuckle joint,
which allows the driver to control the
gear. AS soon as the steering gear
was thus released the front wheels
swerved around. Then the car turned
over.
This was the second accident in
which Crocker was injured. Several
years ago while speeding an automo-
bile in California he colided with
bridge support and was taken out of
the wreck with both legs fractured.
Mrs. Harrison was regarded as one
of the best automobilists among wo-
men of her set. Frequently she drove
her brothers. 40-horsepower car at high
speed, acting as her own chauffeur.

MAKING THE BILLBoARDs TALK.

In a town of 1000 people there are
about $50 voters. Tributary to that
town depending on it for their market
ing and shopping, are about 500 more
voters. Now suppose we arrange a
meeting to be addressed by some cap
able speaker, which is a thing alto
gether to be desired. 1t will cost for
speakers, hall, and advertising pro-
badly at the least $25. 90, and good
deal of work, which, of course, friends
of the cause are happy to bestow upon
the cause Suppose when the date of
the meeting arrives the weather is
perfect and interest has been especi-
ally keen. There may gather to hear
the speaker 500 people. That would be
fine meeting. OF that number pro-
badly less than a quarter would be
voters. But call it a quarter, or 125
voters. 1t has been a marked success
and worth double it's cost in money
and effort.
But an equal amount of money and
labor spent on billboards will talk to
$50 voters IL times year.
Maybe you cannot make great
speech or write a great article but
you can talk to every voter of your
town and community trough the bill
boards and be heard.
