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 Won
take Of 1t the better; IL is not a drug at all
but simply absorbs the gases and impurities
always present in the stomach and intes-
tines and carries them out OF the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after sn,ol
ing. drinking or after eating onions ana
other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears ana imnrovs-
the complexion, It whitens the teeth ana
further acts as a natural ana eminentlv
safe cathnrtic. III

Down at Hot Springs, Ark. the visitors
have all sorts of complaints, but It is a
subject of remark that the great majority
of them have some trouble with stomach
and bowels. This may be partly at
tributed to the heavy medicines.
Naturally, under the conditions, the
question of food is very prominent
young man states that he had suffered
for nine years from stomach and bowel
trouble had two operations which did
not cure, and was at last threatened with
appendicitis.
He went to Hot Springs for rheuma-
tism and his stomach trouble got worse
One day at breakfast the waiter, knowing
his condition. suggested he try Grape
Nuts and cream. which he did, and found
the food agreed with him perfectly.
After the second day he began to sleep
peacefulIy at night different than he had
for years. The perfect digestion of the
food quieted his nervous system and made
sleep possible.
He says: THE next morning / was as
tonished to find my condition of consti-
patton had disappeared. could not be-
lieve it true after suffering for so many
years: then 1 took more interest in the
food, read the little book 1.-THE Road to

this resolution" he declared, "but must
say that his warning to the republicans
of the house regarding their strength and
future political course reflects somewhat
upon his motives Why, sir, do you re-
mind us that we have nlnety-one members
and your party only nine7" exclaimed Jack
son, facing Jones across the hall.
Jackson commended the integrity Of the
members Of this board and said they could
not have been guilty of any wrong in this
matter. He then declared that legislative
investigations never did. amount to any
thing, calling attention to the BARLEY
cigar box investigation of two years ago
to prove his assertion He said the proper
remedy, IL any was needed, lay In the ad-
ministrative officers Of the state and con-
cluded his utterances with this remark:
II would say to the gentleman from Polk,
watch well your own course when you
come again to face your constituents"
Wilson spoke again, saying he favored
a very short investigation, which he be-
lleved would tend to bring satisfactory re-
suits and clarity the situation. He said
II the legislature defeated the resolution
the charge would be made that the re-
publicans had sfnothered 1t for fear of un-
covering evils committed by members of
their own party. -
Perry then resumed his speech, making
a strenuous effort to kill the resolution on
its phraseology.
Windham for Resolution.
Let US be cool and candid and look at
this matter from sensible and logical
standpoint" then asserted Windham, who
proceeded to make very dispassionate,
but apparently effective speech why the
resolution should be adopted.
Il favor adopting this resolution" said
he, more so because it has been introduced
by member of the minority. l am not
ready to question the authors motives
neither to even insinuate that any member
of the board did wrong. But this resolution
presents case and 1t is our duty to ad-
dress ourselves to the consideration Of that
case. The legislature vested authority in
the Board of Public Lands and Buildings
If that authority was violated 1 know of
no body with better right to cali for an
accounting from this board than the leg
islature. II these men committed a wrong
they should be dealt with. If they did not
they should be exonerated. 1t is our duty
thea to proceed with this investigation"
Andersen\ of Douglas voiced Windham's
words and urged the investigation.
Hunker of Cunning (fusionist LEADER
spoke for the resolution, saying IT could do
no harm II there was no guilt and no in
Justice IL there was.
Voter of Cedar opposed It, saying he had
personally looked into the matter and sa It's
fed himself that there had been, no crooked
work.
soilley OF Dodge wanted the resolution
passed. He was a member of the commit
tee on public lands and buildings that had
visited the institution at Norfolk and could
not understand why the walls OF the old
wing were allowed to stand for two years
while three new cottages were erected.

Representative Caldwell of Clay county
thought he had about completed his freight
rate bill, of which considerable has been
said, but has discovered that the bill will
have to be practically reconstructed. 1t
has been found upon comparing the Dill
with the present rates in force that a gen.
eral increase, rather than decrease is made.
Caldwell claimed for his bill an average
decrease of 15 per cent, but upon learning
of the discrepancies, he says so many cleri-
cal errors have entered into the bill as to
make 1t necessary practically to draw the
bill over Junkin of Gosper, one of the com
mittee appointed under the Foster resolu-
ton to draw a freight rate bill, points out
that from his town, Smithfield, to Omaha,
the present rate on wheat is 1914 cents,
whereas the Caldwell bill makes it 22Ik
cents; on corn the respective rates are Il
and q cents; lumber IS and % cents: cat
tie, 161 and 21 cents, and hogs, % and 2SlA

The house this morning defeated a reso-
luton to investigate the Lee Broom COM
pany's alleged action in reducing the con-
tract price of convict wages. The resolu-
ton was introduced by Ernst of Johnson,
author of the binder twine plant BILL which
passed the house and which Ernst declares
has been and is being persistently fought
by the Lee company on the grounds that IL
the twine plant is established at the peni-
tentiary it will work to the detriment of the
broom company's interests.
These people have been doing and are
still doing everything they can to defeat
my bill," said Mr. Ernst. "They should
not be allowed to lobby as they have been
doing AS to the price which they agreed
to pay the convicts in their broom factory
1t was so cents a day, as the contract pro-
vided. The state furnishes the building
for the factory and feeds the convicts. Now
these wages have been cut to AZ cents a day
say this action in violating the conditions
of the contract should be Investigated"
When this resolution was introduced
Jackson Of Antelope facetiously remarked
that 1t would be a good plan to appoint a
standing committee on investigation.
