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

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient dis
infectant and purifier in nature, but
few realize its value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans
ing purpose
Charcoal is remedy that the more
you take of it the better; it 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 a natural
and erninently safe cathartic.
It absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; it
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 in tablet form or rather in
the form OF large, pleasant tasting
lozenges, the charcoal being mixed with
honey

use, but on the contrary, great bene-

A Buffalo physician in speaking of
the benefits of charcoal, says: II ad-
wise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all
patients suffering from gas in stomach
and bowels, and to clear the complex

whether many can be found who would
dispute the phrase. other living men
have written single poems that stand
out, but there is no poet today to com

Church organizations are a necessity

ADVICE FOR THE NEW YEAR.

The chances are that with most of US
1865 win be largely a repetition OF the
year just closed. When we come close
ohme to ourselves, though we fancy we
have it in our power to make ourselves
precisely what we will, the chances are
we shall continue to be just what We
have been. Most people talk about turn
ing over new leaf, but the writing on
the new leaf looks strangely familiar as
we get toward the bottom of the page.
When we consider our mental character
istics as the years have gone on, we
have only intensified the most OF US, our
inherited natures. You can cultivate a
new interest. The great trouble with
most men Is that they get into ruts. They
are narrow in their interests. There are
only few things they care for, and If
you take those things away they do not
know what to do with themselves. II you
will begin this new year to train your
selves to become interested In some new
thing, something outside of your business,
