DIRECT VIOLATION OF LAW
Millions of Dollars Worth OF Real
Estate Are SO Held by CGrpO
ratiOns in Chicago.
Chicago, Oct. 27.-The Daily News

Chicago, Oct. 27.-The Daily News
says:
Millions of dollars worth of real
estate property is held by private cor
porations in Chicago, it is alleged, in
direct violation of the law. The bulk
of this property, it has been discov-
cred, is in the name Of insurance COM
panies or their officials. The Illinois
statutes provide that the companies
shall offer for sale at public vendue, at
least once a year, the property owned
by them, or which has come into their
possession through foreclosure. This
must be done for four years success
sively, and if, after five years, the cor
porations still hold the property, the
states attorney shall proceed against
them. So far as known, the states at
torney of Cock county never proceed
ed against any insurance company or
other corporations under the statute.

forth within the power of the govern
ment will be made to hunt such a mai

Grammar and Business.

A few years ago we often heard busi-
ness men say, What do | care for the
grammar of a letter. so long as 1t gets
the ~business?" Now businessmen quite
generally recognize that grammar is an
important element In getting business.
Grammar is the science of the logical
relationship Of words and sentences. IL
words are not put together grammatl-
cally they fail to express the meaning
clearly. asserts Sherwin Cody, in Sue
cess Magazine. Bad grammar and con-
fusion are one and the same. So, too,
the man who does not punctuate MS
letters correctly fails to express his
meaning quite completely. The I'M
preston on the mind of the reader IS
not quite so clear and sharp. An in
correct letter is like a slightly blurred
photograph. You can tell whom the
hazy photograph represents, but the
picture that is startlingly clear and
sharp has a vast commercial advantage
over one that is not. A few errors OF
punctuation and grammar in one letter
do not matter much, but the same err
rors in a hundred letters, accumulatlng
one on top of another, weigh vastly in
the final success Of a business. Sue
cessful men recognize this, and o

An effort is making in Worcester,
Mass, to break the will of the late
William A. Richardson, who recently
committed suicide by hanging and in
his will left stock valued at over $780,
300 to the city of Worcester for it's
park system. Richardson was a meat
cutter and when in his prime made
s35 a week, lived on a quart of milk
and a loaf of bread a day, saved all his
earnings and made fortunate invest
ments. An inventory of his estate
showed stock valued at over $3.50, 900.
The claim of those contesting the will
is that he was of unsound mind. Ex-
Congressman John r. Thayer appears

AN IMPORTANT DECISION
A Municipality Can Not Lawfully
Authorize the Obstruction of q
Street for Private Use.

Springfield, H., Oct. 26.-The SUI
preme court of Illinois held that any
ordinance which grants a railroad au-
thority to elevate tracks in a city and
thereby close any streets, is invalid. A
city, in the words of the opinfSn, holds
the streets and the alleys in trust for
the public, and can o lawfully au-
thorize the vacation or obstruction Of
any of them for the use or benefit Of
private individuals or corporations"
This decision will prevent cities giving
the use of streets for street fairs.

An innovation in Sunday school out
fngs was recently introduced with good
success by a New York Sunday school.
Special trolley cars were chartered to
carry the party to the shore and each
member was tagged like an express
package. Each tag had a number of
coupons attached. One coupon was
for ice cream, another for a bathing
suit. others for rides on the switch
back and merry-go-rounds, while the
tag itself was the ticket for the trip.
The Sun says the scheme worked
beautifully. No children were lost.

After a short rest in his hotel the

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know Hiw Useful 1t Is in
Preserving Health and Beauty.

Few People Know HiW Useful 1t 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 clean
sing purpose.
Charcoal is remedy that the more
you take of it the better; it is not a
drug at all, but simply absorbs the gas
es and impurities always present in
the stomach and intestines and car
ries them out Of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating on
ions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and inn
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
form or 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
anticipates in tablet form, or rather
In the form Of large, pleasant tasting
lozenges, the charcoal being mixed with
honey.
The daily use Of these lozenges will
soon tell in a much improved condt-
ton Of the general health, better COM
plexion, sweeter breath and purer
blood, and the beauty Of 1t is, that no
possible harm can result from their
continued use, but on the contrary,
great benefit.
A Buffalo physician in speaking IF
the benefits Of charcoal, says: II adj
wise Stuarts Charcoal Lozenges to all
patients suffering from gas in the
stomach and bowels, and to clear the
complexion and purify the breath,
mouth and throat; also believe the
liver is greatly benefited by the daily
use of them; they cost but twenty-fiv
cents box at drug stores, and altho
in some sense a patent preparation, yet
/ believe l get more and better char
coal in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges
than in any of the ordinary charcoal
tablets"
