JAIL DELIVERY FRUSTRATED
Early on Sunday Forming by Sheriff
Edward J. Frantz.

a delivery of the prisoners confined
in the Oakland jail was narrowly
averted on Sunday morning by the
timely discovery of their attempt to
gain freedom being made by Sheriff
Edward J. Frantz.
The jail has been overcrowded for
several weeks past and in conse-
quence there is an insuficiepcy of
cells in which to lock all the prison
ers at night. Saturday night three
of them were left outside the cells on
this account. The trio got busy i'm
mediately after the family of the
sheriff had retired and with an in
strument procured in some manner
unknown to the authorities picked
the brick from the walls skirting a
transom. In the morning Sheriff
Frantz arrived home on an early
train and happened to glance at the
jail wall as he neared the building he
discovered perceptible bulge in
which caused him to make an inspec-
ton OF the inner walls when he found
that the brick around the transom
frame had been dug out and was al
most ready to topple over. Masons
were Immediately set to work repair
ing the damage.
One of the men implicated in dig
ging out the wall is Garfield Brad
shaw, who was recently arrested in
Parkersburg on the charge of rob-
bling a store at Hutton.

But l nave seen girls and women in the clutcnes of the malignant demon, who rasFens his fangs in the nerve-centers ana racks the brain until the victim Is all most exhausted.
 I once said to a girl friend: Tell me. Blanche, what Is the worst thing about A headache? She answered: Tt is all worse.

WHEN THE KIDNEYS
 ARE AILlNG.
The Urgent Need of Prompt Restora- tive Measures is Something That Every One Should
 Understand.
"A Stitch in Time Saves Nine."

Slight disorders in the kidneys or uri- nary organs are more serious than most people think. The first warning, symp- toms should receive prompt medical treatment to ward off Bright's Disease or some other dangerous malady. When the kidneys are ailing and the symptoms become sufficiently pronounced to be noticeable the condition calls at once for prompt measures to stay the progress of the disease. Prickly Ash Bitters is the remedy needed. Taken on the ap- pearance of the first symptoms, such as pain in the back, puffiness under the eyes, irregularities in the urine, digestive disorders, it will save the victim incal- cuiable misery and suffering, mental torture and expense. Used at the begin ming of the trouble 1t cures quickly. Used in the more advanced stages 1t will win back health and strength as rapidly as circumstances will possibly permit.
 Accept no substitute. Insist os, having

If we feel for 1t the reverence we should, we go through life cheerfu1ly equal to the day's work. The foundation for healthfui. happy life Is laid in youth. You are building for tomorrow. In many cases head- ache-is more than blunder; it 10 a sin. There are no doubt times when occasion. but taking the great host of schoolgirls as they are, they have no need to be nervous, irritable or in any way depressed by any physical distress whatever. If they will obey the laws of health they will be we'll. My last word about headaches is, don't have them.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful It Ia in
 Preserving Health and Beauty.


 Nearly everybody knows that char coal is the safest and most efficient disinfectant and purifier in nature. but the human system for the same cleans ing purpose.
 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 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 im- proves the complexion, 1t 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; 1t disinfects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh.
 Ali 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 conposed of the finest powdered Will septics in tablet form or rather in the form of large, pleasant tasting lo- zenres. 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 complex ion, sweeter breath and purer blood. and the beauty of 1t is. that no possi- ble harm can result from their contin- ned use, but on the contrary. great benefit
 A Buffalo physician in speaking of the benefits of charcoal says: T ad- wise stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all patients suffering from gas in stomach and bowels, and to clear the complex ion and purify the breath, mouth and throat: also believe the liver is great iv 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 be- Iieve I get more and better charcoal in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges than in any oe the ordinary charcoal tahletzr

Saturday Review.
 There Is one general principle run hing through all the views of doctors in regard to disease. It is the impor- tance of checking the growth of va riety of diseases in the interests of the physical fitness of the nation at large and not merely of the individual. If this is to be done. many restraints both legal and social, will have to be submitted to which at present are not imposed owing to the lack of an en- frightened popular opinion. Sir James Crichton- Browne indicated one social restraint when speaking of the evil eff fleets of alcohol. It is much to be wished, he said. that there should grow up one of those conventional under standings which are almost more bind ing than legal enactments. that 1t is bad form for a youth to indulge in al. cohol till he has attained his majority
