Nearly everybody knows that char

few realize it's value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans

Charcoal is a 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 intastines and ear

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, it whitenS the
teeth and further acts as a natural
and eminently safe cathartic.

collect in the stomach and bowels; it

CALL TO FORCES

sonal Letters.
AND THIS QUICKLY
A Statement of Measures and CondI-
tions is Presented BY Chairman
Bailey of the North Carolina
Anti-Saloon
League.
AND THIS QUICKLY
70 the Friends of Temperance:

To the Friends Of Temperance:
We are giving Our support to the
Ward BILL which is an amendment
to the Watts act, embodying the fol-
lowing features:
u) Expulsion of disilleries from
towns OF less than $500 inhabitants
(2) Prohibition OF bar-rooins in
mpoliced towns.
CD More effective means for de-
tectine transSresa;ons of temperance
laws.
"a Greater penalties for ofIcnses
against temperance laws.
This bill is in keeping with the
principle and the spirit of the Watts
act. and is designed to strengthen that
act 1t has the support of those wise
political leaders to whom we are Sc
greatly indebted for recent progress in
the cause of temperance.
The distinction made between re-
quirements with regard to bar-rooms
and distilleries is based upon the diff
ference involved in the fact that, while
distilleries may crowd in upon a small
town and take possession of it only so
many bar-rooms may exist IL a town
as the local demand for, liquors will
support.
This legislation is reasonable it is
constructive in its character; and it
is so essential to the proper operation
of the Watts act that it must com
mand the support of any friend of
that excellent measure.
But we are meeting with quite a
vigorous opposition. J for tfat !In~
less the people make it known that
they earnestly desire these measures,
some of their representatives may be-
come Indifferent. | calf, therefore. upon
the friends of temperance in North
Carolina to make known immediate
ly their position on this important
question. Petitions, personal letters,
and personal interviews, will. | an
sure, be welcomed by the members of
the General Assembly.
1t was my hope that we might OBJ
tain the moderate measures needed
this year without public appeal or agi-
tation.
The fact that | am sending out this
call is the best evidence that l can
no longer entertain that hope. The
battle is on. The enemy is at work
And every ane of US must count for
everything that he is worth. DO not
delay. The bill viii very shortly en-
ter upon its passage.

tary.
Nj Mr. Van Lieu in taking the
chair. made q most sensible, prac-
tical and business like talk. He
stated that the movement had orig
mated in North Minnewaukan
township, where nearly every
farmer had pledged 800. He
stated that if the scheme was
matured along the lines Of the
present plans, the stock would be

1t is the talks Of such substan-
tial men as these that convince
the onlooker that a farmers mill
can be run on business principles
for they are business men.
A committee distribulated by
townships, was appointed to draft
bylaws, and these will constitute
the business contract npon which
funds will be solicited. When
they are prepared, every subscrib-

Considerable discussion was had
on Mr.. Turner's motion to have

wanted them sent to every man in

advisable to have them printed
