COMMISSION TO HEAR

Railroads Will Be Quizzee on Privatl
Cars System-Kick on Power
Breaks.

Today's hearing before the Interstate
Commission of the inquiry into the pri-
vate car line cases was the last to be
held this month. Chairman Knapp an
nounced that the hearings would be re-
sumed November /, when the testimony
will lie taken in relation to the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe and the Southern
Pacific, the two transcontinental lines
involved.
Notice has been served by the COM
mission on the various railroads of the
country that on November 2, 1t win give
q hearing to those roads which are op-
posed to the proposed increase in the
percentage of cars equipped with power
brakes Under an amendment to the
safety appliance act, which required an
increased percentage Of power brakes to
be put into use each year. the commits
sion is to hear the protests against fur
ther increase in the percentage.
Although the commission is said to
have its case well in hand, and is sat-
isfied with the progress made so far
toward bringing the private car line in

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful it Is in
Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal
is the safest and most efficient disin-
fectant and purifier in nature. but few
realize its value when taken into the
human system for the same cleansing
purpose.
Charcoal is remedy that the more
you take OF it the better II is not a
drug at all. but simply absorSs 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. OF after eating onions
and other odorors 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 form
or another, but probably the best char
coal and the most for the money Is in
StuartS Charcoal Lozenges; they are
composed of the finest powdered Willow
charcoal. and other harmless antisep-
tics in tablet form or rather in the form
Of large, pleasant-tasting lozenges,
the charcoal being mixed with honey.

Hyde was the leading figure In the

proved the rock on which he and Presi-
