THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know Hiw Useful 1t Is in
PRESERVING Health and Beauty.

Preserving Health and Beauty.
Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most eftlclent
disinfectant and purifier in nature, but
few realize its value when taken into
the human system for the same clean
sing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
you take of it the better: it is not
drug at all, but simply absorbs the gas
es and impurities always present IN
the stomach and intestines and car
ries them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating on
ions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and I'M
proves the complexion. 1T whltens the
teeth and further acts as q natural ana
eninently safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases whlch
collect in the stomach and bowels u
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
alaticeptics 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 condl-
ton of the general health, better COM
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: Il adj
wise. Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all
patients suffering from gas in the
stomach and bowels and to clear the
complexion and purify the BREATH
mouth and throat; l 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 altho
in some sense patent preparation, yet
i believe I get more and better char
coal in Stuarts Charcoal LoZenges
than in any of the ordinary charcoal
tablets"

CRATER AT FORT DODGE.
Several Merchants Taken in by ;
Smooth Stranger.


Fort Dodge, Feb. %. = One OF the
smoothest grafters that has ever Wis
tied the city victimized number OF
the merchants here few days ago.
In the hope that the fellow might be
caught the thing has been suppressed
UP to the present time.
Representing himself to be a broth
err of Joseph Machovec, a wealthy far
mer of Elkhorn township, whose Gre
dit is good for anything anywhere in
town, the CRATER purchased a num-
Der of articles from the different
stores, which he took out and sold at
the second hand stores, pawnshop
and to the people Of the city.
The fellow entered one of the lead
ing furniture stores, where he pre-
tended to be feeling thoroughly a
good fellow. After shaking hands all
around. and looking about little
while, he volunteered the informa-
ton that he was brother of Joseph
Machovec, living south of the city,
and that he was then on his way to
Chicago with couple of cars OF cat
tie. He then said his old mother, sew
enty-three years of age was sick and
that he believed he would buy her an
easy chair and send it out by one of
his neighbors.
He finally selected nice one ana
making the statement that he would
step in as he came back from Chit
cago and pay for it, took the piece of
furniture out of the store. He sold it
a little later to barber and pocket
ing the money, went on along the
street seeking new victims.
A little later he stepped into one
of the music stores, where he put up
another smooth story, making the
claim here also that he was mem
Der of the Machovec family. Here
he purchased violin which he took
to the pawnshop. where he got three
dollars on it.
After operating about town in this
way a short time, he. concluded that
he had better get out, and has not
been seen since. When the mer-
chants that had been victimized found
out how things stood, the police We're
informed of the situation and given
a description of the fellow, but
there is little prospect that he will
be caught
