TUBERCULOSIS IS
 NOT 50 DANGEROUS
Chief Trouble is in Late
 Diagnosis
EDUCATE THE PATIENTS
pr. AmbIer Offers Valuable Spqges- tions to the Anti-Tubereuiesis League Now in Sessct
 In Atlanta.

Atlanta, Ga, April 1S.-Increased at tendance and largely increased interest marked the second days session of the American Anti-Tuberculosis league here today. Late arrivals brought the atten- dance up to about six hundred physicians which includes a large number of wo- men practitioners. The general topic eon- sidered at the only session of the com mission was that of tuberculosis in its various forms.
 The paper of the day which was &C., corded the closest attention was by pr. c. B. Amber of Asheville, N. C.. on ''The Physicians Permanent Duty to the Pa tlent and Family in Tuberculosis" At the conclusion of the paper the commits sion authorized the publication of the paper as embodying the sense of the league on the subject. pr. Ambler in the course of his address said:
 ''I wish to place myself on record as advocating that the best means of pre- venting consumption is to discover the tuberculosis disease in the patient before the stage of consumption has been reach ed. Consumptives are people dying with a tuberculosis disease. Tuberculosis is not the fatal disease that past genera tions have regarded it.
 As the conclusions of his discussion Dr. Ambler presented the following points:
 First. Tuberculosis is not the fatal disease commonly believed.
 Second. While communicable, it can be made practically .nocuous by the proper course on the part of the pa tient.
 Third. The danger of a large majority of cases Is late diagnosis.
 Fourth. Late diagnosis is caused by indifference of the patient to early symp- toms and carelessness on the part of the physician consulted.
 Fifth. By thorough systematic instruc- tion of the patient, better results can be accomplished than by medication.
 Sixth Instruction of patient, family and friends and close observance on their part of the rules laid down, will prac- tically rob the disease of it's method and means of extending
 The programme for the day was closely followed and the address of Dr. A. P. Clarke of Boston, was accorded the closest attention.
 The latter part of the day was devoted to a Georgia barbecue which was en- joyed by several hundred of the visitors with their wives. The election of officers and the selection of the next meeting place vii take place tomorrow.

JOSEPH JEFFERSONS LIFE
 HANGS BY SLENDER THREAD

West Palm Beach, Fla, April 19, a. m. Joseph Jefferson's condition remains un- exchanged, except that he is gradually growing weaker. His trouble is com plication of diseases from which he suf- fered last summer His physicians regard his condition as critical in the extreme and it would not be surprising if he should pass away at any moment, but he may rally and live for days or even weeks. The veteran actor realizes that his end is near, and looks forward to it without fear. All hope for his recovery has been abandoned by his family.
 For a number of years past MT. Jef- ferson and ex-President Cleveland have spent week or two of each year together fishing in Florida. It was on his return from one of these fishing trips that MT. Jefferson's illness developed. He went to

 He held his own until yesterday when his disease again took turn for the worse, and it was seen that the end was near At MT Jefferson's bedside are his wife and sons. Charles B. and Frank Jef- ferson, and granddaughter, Marion Jeffer- son. and Mrs. c.

COREY DIVORCE SUIT.
President of U. S. Steel Corporation
 Talks of His Domestic Troubles.

New York, December civilian E. Corey, president of the United States Steel corporation, made a statement to- day with reference to the report that he and Mrs. Corey had separated, and that he intended to marry Mabel Gilman, the actress, after his wife obtained a divorce.
 MT. Corey said:
 '"The subject matter of recent publica- tions, personal to myself and some oth- CTS, is of such a painful character that l have hesitated to say anything in re- gard to 1t, and have, perhaps, been unjust to myself and to the press in declining ed However, in view of what has been published l have decided to make a statement which covers the situation. l do this more to protect the good name of others than my own.
 Mrs. Corey and l have had disagree ments Our differences are irreconelable. l have been informed and believe she IS residing in Nevada. She may have con templated a divorce, and if she applies for one l shall not oppose it if it is legally obtained, and does not involve me
 in any moral turpitude. Whether she does or not, I am in duty bound to provide her a comfortable support, and shall do so. l have been for long time well ac- quainted with lady whose name has been prominently connected with mine. but there never has been any conduct between us of which either of us need be ashamed. Any suggestion to the con- trary would be great injustice.

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 a remedy that the more you take of 1t 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 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.
 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 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
 A 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 the breath. mouth and throat: also be- lieve the liver is greatly benefited by the daily use of them; they cost but twenty-five cents a box at drug stores, and although in some sense a patent preparation, yet I believe I get more and better charcoal in Stuart's Charcoal Loz- enges than in any of the ordinary char coal tablets"
