Tobacco in Liverpool.

Liverpool, July 1S.-"There was
fair inquiry for North American
tobacco during the past month, but
owing to various causes trade was
difficult. The accumulation of old
imports and the lack of indueement
to send forward additional stock de-
press values below those ruling
abroad. The Offering for sale in
America by Liverpool samples Of to-
bacco lying in this port is an evil
dence OF lower values here and re-
versal of the normal state Of things.
IT will be noticed that the imports
during the month Of June include
1851 caskets strips, which, coming
Immediately after the passing OF the
Finance bill, throw new light on

SANITARY CONDITIONS.

With all due respects TO proceed
ing health officers, the present board
of health is about the best Paducah
has had 1t has taken hold of the
work with an earnestness and deter
mination that should make far bet
ter sanitary conditions. and they
should receive all the assistance from
the local legislative and police bod
les needed.
President Pendley. of the board
however, complains that they are
hampered in their work; that the
sanitary conditions are far from
what they might and should be; that
dry wells are permitted TO be used
in parts of the city and other unsan-
itary conditions permitted to exist
that should be remedied.
He does more than complain. how
ever. He says he is going after the
different nuisances. and they must be
abated.
AS every one knows, after excess
sive rains such as we have had the
past few months the probabilities OF
epidemic exist, and It behooves every
one to be careful. The cutters should
be looked to, and all garbage piles
and other promoters of disease re-
moved.
Let the good work of the board of
health go on. Let every one join in,
clean up thir premises and better
the present conditions. In Denver,
a few days ago, the mayor announced
that on certain day, to be called
cleaning-up day, every one would be
expected to clean up their yards and
alleys. and the scheme worked ex-
cellently.
Such a thing might be done in Pa
ducah with a benefit TO all.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.

Few People Know How Useful It IL
In Preserving Health and Beauty.
Nearly everybody knows that charcoal Is
the safest and most efficient dlsinfectant
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 sthe more you
take OF It the better: It is not a drug at
ALL but simply absorbs the gases and i'm
purities always present in the stomach and
lntestines and carries them out OF the
system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after smok-
ing. drinking or after eating onions and
other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and improves
the complexion. Il whitens the teeth and
further acts as a natural and eminently
safe cathartic.
II absorbs the injurious gases which col
lect in the stomach and bowels; IL disin-
lects 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 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
