to buy victory so dearly, entities him to place
among the greatest commanders of the age, and
it may be hoped that his own cOuntrymen will
realize this fact and reward him in the manner
that he deserves-reward him in the same way
that they did General TOdleben. whose splendid
defence of SebastopOl in the Crimean War will
cause his name to be remembered with gratitude
by Russians, and with admiration abroad, long
after the names of those victorious generals to
whom ne eventually compelled to surrender
the great fortress have been forgotten. Indeed,
who remembers them to-day?
Next to Ulysses Grant, the military figure of
the Civil War that looms up more largely and
which appeals more strongly than any other to
popular imagination, both in this country and in
Europe, is that of General Lee and the adj
miration entertained for him is as warm to-day

Japanese at Moukden, and only a wound re-

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful it is TO
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 purposes.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
you take of il the better 1t is not
drug at all, but simply absorbs the
gaSSeS and impurities always present
i'm 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 wihtens the
teeth and further acts rs natural
and eminently safe cathartic.
1t absorbes the injurious gases
which collect in the stomach and
bowels: il 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, pleasant tasting lozenges,
the charcoal being mixed with honey.
The daily use of these loZenges Will
