wisdom OF the Senate has decreed
a vote on the statehood bill on
that day. We shall soon know
whether we are to remain in a

mitted TO enter the royal estate OF
free American citizens. Eastern
senator's are dead set on having
only two more western states.
Our hope lies in the prospect OF a
coalition between the democrats

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few Pcoo,c Know How Useful ii is in
Preserving, Health ana Beauty.

Nearly eve. ybodv 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
ycu take of it the better; it is not q
drug at all, but simply absOrbs the
gases and impurities always present
r the stomach and intestines and car
res them out of the system.
Charcoal swcetans 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.
1t 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
fC rm or another. but probably the best
charcoal and the most for the money
is in Stuarts Charcoal LozengcrS
they are composed of the finest pow
dcred Willow charcoal, and other
harmless anti-septics in tablet form OF
rather in the form of large, pleasant
tasting lozengers. the charcoal being
