people of New York have little but
praise for their Legislature. 1t is be-

MY, SUCH A WORRY!
Old st. Louis Aunty Deposits Money
In Bank and Forgets lnsti-
tution's Name!

Special to The Herald.
ST. LOUIS, March 10.-Harriet Con-
rad, negro woman living at 1910 Gay
street and employed as cook in a
Morgan street restaurant, would like
to find the bank where she has $500 of
her savings deposited. Up to June II
she kept her currency in the Lisle d
Cotton bank, favorite depository with
her sex. After accommodating $500 the
amount became cumbersome in her
branch of the above bank and she de-
cided to open savings account.
A week ago, desiring to draw some
money, she went to the bank with her
book and was told she would have to
be identified. She visited a lawyer,
who went with her to the bank, but
she was not allowed to draw the money
because the lawyer said he was not
personally acquainted with her. She
then went to the residence of Mrs. W..
S. Boales of Westminster place, for
whom she once worked, and that lady
volunteered to accompany the woman.
Then a new difficulty arose. Harriet
had left her passbook at the bank and
couldn't remember the name of the in
stitution Neither could she find 1t.
For a week the woman has been hunt
ing for the bank that has her money.
AS soon as she can locate the place
Mrs. Boales has promised to come
down town and identify her.

New Tie Field Is Found

Contracts have been entered into by
the Burlington and the Northern Pa
cific railroads with the recent pur-
chasers of 50,000,000 feet of government
timber In the Montana division Of the
Yellowstone forest reserve for the de-
livery of about 100000 ties within the
next three years. A large percentage
of this cut will be of 1odgepole pine,
a species which few years ago-be-
fore the preservative treatment had
been brought up to the present high
standard-was practically without a
market value.
The national department of agricul-
ture reports the sale of 50,000,000 feet
of timber to be one of the largest ever
made by the government, and attaches
much significance to the introduction
Of the lodgepole pine into practical use.
In report of it's experiments with
the wood, the department of agricul-
ture said:
ut was found that preservative
treatment, which greatly prolonged the
life of certain timbers, depends large
ly for it's success upon the penetra-
bility of the wood, which permits the
preservative to ented the wood sub
stance easily. The loblolly pine was
seen to be exceedingly well adapted
for preserVative treatment, and also
lodgepole pine, whose SoftneSS is COM
bined with a high degree of permea-
bility. In 1902 the seasoning and pre-
serving of lodgepole pine was thor
oughly taken up by the forest service,
in cooperation with the Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy railroad and with
the purchasers of the reserve timbers
in Montana. The results established
it's serviceability and thus opened a
new field for the supply of ties, upon
which the railroads are drawing SO
heavily"

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL
Few People Know How Useful 1t Is In Pre-
serving Health and Beauty

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient
disinfectant and purifier In nature, but
few realize it's value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans
ing purposes.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
you take of it the better; 1t is not
drug at all, but simply absorbs the
gases 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
onions and other odorous vegetables
Charcoal effectually clears and i'm
proves the complexion, it whitens the
teeth and further acts as natural
and eminently safe cathartic.
1t absorbS the injurious gases which
collect In the stomach and bowels; 1t
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
antiseptics in tablet form or rather
in the form of large, pleasant tasting
lozenges, the charcoal being mixed
with honey.

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 of
the benefits of charcoal, says: II adj
wise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all
patients suffering from gas in stomach
and bowels, and to clear the complex
ion and purify the breath, mouth and
throat: l also believe the liver is
greatly benefited by the daily use of
them; they cost but twenty-five cents
a box at drug stores, and although in
some sense a patent preparation, yet

coal in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges
than in any Of the ordinary charcoal
tablets" 4-11-1S-25
