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

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal is the safest and most efficient disinfect- ant and purifier in nature, but feW realize its value when taken into the human system for the same cleansing purpose.
 Charcoal is remedy that the more vou take of 1t the better; it Is not drug at all. but simply absorbs the gases and tr,nur;ties 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 improves the complexion, it whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and eminently safe cathartic.
 If absorbs the injurious gases which collect in the stomach and bowels; 1t d;sjnfects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh. All druggists sell charcoal in one form
 or another. but probably the best char coal and the most for the money, Is in stuarts 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 condition | of the general health, better complexion
 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.
 Buffalo physician in speaking of the
 benefits of charcoal says; T advise Stu
 arts Charcoal Lozenges to all patients | suffering from gas In stomach and bowels
 and to clear the complexion, and purify 1 the breath mouth and throat; l also be-
 Iieve the liver is greatly benefited by | the daily use of them; they cost but twenty-five cents a box at drug stores l and although in some sense patent

 Fewer Saloons.
OTHER LICENSES CHANGED

Decatur, December 13.-(Special) "A special meeting of the city council was held last night for the purpose of ar ranging the city license schedule for the coming year.
 Quite a number of licenses were raised while others were left the same as for merly and still others were cut entirely. The license effecting the sale of oils by the Standard oil company was raised from $l00 to $50 year. The license on the wholesale or retail sale of cigarettes was raised from $50 to Sl00 year. The license on peddling fish was raised to $1O a year.
 The license around which the most in- terest was centered was that of the re- tail sale of alcoholic liquors. A resolution was offered which attributed the murder of prominent young lady of New De- catur and the murder of two policemen in Decatur, during the past year, to the sale of liquor. The resolution also pro- vided that the saloon license be raised from 5000 to 5000 a year. The Rev. Dr. Parks pastor of the First Presbyterian church, was present and addressed the council in favor of high license, stating that it would concentrate the business and that the police could keep better or der and that it would wipe out the lower class of saloons.

Murphy and his excellent company Is a dramatic version by Owen Davis of this well-known and highly successful work of fiction by Cyrus Townsend Brady, which was one of the most en- ioyable stories ever published in "The Smart Set," and which in book form has had tremendous vogue. It is most en- tertaining and complete in all that goes to make dramatic entertainment and in the hands of Tim Murphy and his ex- cellent players form a splendid evening s entertainment MT. Murphy is surround ed by an excellent company and is giv- ing this play with every attention to de- tail.
