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
disinfectant 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 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 eneetually clears and i'm
proves the complexion, it whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural
and eminently safe eathartic.
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 OF another. but probably the best
charcoal and the most for the money
is in Stuart's Charcoal Eozenges; til ey
are composed of the finest powdered
Willow charcoal, and other harmless
antiseptfcs in tablet form or rather in
the form of large, pleasant tasting
lozenges. the charcoal being mixed

PENSIONERS DYING RAPIDLY.
Civil War Rolls Reduced at Rate of
$4,000 a year.

Washington, Dec. 2-Death is now di-
rninishing the civil war pension rolls at
the rate of more than 10000 a. year. A
statement issued by Commissioner War
ner shows that during the month of Oc-
tober 4.7O4 pensioners died. Of these
9. e15 were civil war veterans. The aver
age death rate Of veterans during the
month was ninety-four.
The reduction on the rolls would be
more apparent wereit not for the allow
ance of new claims. While 1913 veterans
died during October the actual decrease
in the number of old soldiers drawing
pensions was but 1887, as 1,028 names
were added to the list.

The Travelling Art Gallery has been
visiting Pittsburg, where it was most
royalty entertained by the Pittsburg
City federation. In another place in
this department will be found extracts
by the local papers. The quotation is
made merely to show other clubs what
may be accomplished in this work. III
this instance the combination of local
exhibits and of the federation colIec-
tions was a happy thought, and could
be carried out in smaller towns on z
smaller scale. The Pittsburg fedora
ton is planning to have a similar ex-
hibition each year, and has decided
to have a list Of pictures at least {
month in advance so that the artist,
may be studied in the clubs. DE-. MARY

writes: eff we knew, for instance, thai
we could have the Italian collection

all work and turned out on a grand
hunt. They took their dogs with them,
and also took along dinner horns to
blow and rifles and shotgUns to be dis
charged.
As many of the men We're at work
it took time to spread the news and
get them together, and it was decided
that they should not start out until
the next day.
Said one of the men to Mr.. wilkins:
1T is warm weather yet and your
boys will not suffer. There may be
wolves about, but the lads will know
enough to climb trees. They will find
roots and nuts and berries in the
woods, and have no doubt we shall
come across them in a couple of days,
Don't worry. They are not the first
boys who have been lost, and found
again.
Bright and early next morning three
different parties of ten men and boys
each arrived at the cabin of Mr.. VIII
kins and set off in different. directions.
It so happened that none of the par
ties went the right way to discover the
boys, and after beating the forest for
seven or eight miles around. they re-
turned at night tired out and no good
news to communicate. Next morning
they set out again, and this time one
of the parties took the right direction.
Before 10 o'clock they came upon the
trees which Joe had blazed in four
different directions, and when they
had followed them back to the follow
tree the leader said:
at was here the boys passed the
first night and you see they made a fire
and cooked something. They went at

We win have to roost on the limbs like
wild turkeys, and we shall not get
much sleep, but we shall be safe from
the wolves
Tt was an hour after dinner when
they set off for the north. They felt
that they might go this way as well as
any other, as they had no idea of the
true direction of home AS a matter
of fact I may tell you that they were
going right away from home.

Disappointing an Audience.

! They were waiting for the car at the
corner of Flower and Sixteenth and
the young lady with the opera cape
gazed anxiously down the street. No
light appeared in the distance, and she
began meditating on the vagaries Of
fate and the unreliability of the entire
street car service.
"If / should miss the car" she said,
addressing her escort, ''it would simply
be terrible. You know I never like to
disappoint an audience"
The brute for it was he, made no
reply. He remembered that on sew
eral occasions he had been compelled
to sit and listen while she knocked the
worries loose trying to initiate the Po-
fish master player. He remembered
how only etiquette prevented him from

Of the woods, but they were in too

A great noise was made in the for
est, but no answer was returned. The
reason was that Joe and Dan had left
the place hours before and were then
five or six miles away. They had set
out hoping they were going toward
home, but as a matter of fact they
were going away from it.
They continued to travel at a good
pace until shutdown. When the woods
began to grow dark the dog caught a
coon that was shifting his place from
one tree to another, and they built a
small fire and for supper had coon
meat.
The dog got his fair share. and be-
fore it got too dark a tree with limbs
growing very low was selected and the
boys climbed up to be safe from the
wolves. They tried to get the dog up
