oCy to be used in defining the rate

that its original position in the bill

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful II is
In Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal
IS the safest and most efficient disinfeCt-
ant and purifier in nature. but few real
ize its value when taken into the human
system for the same cleansing purpose
Charcoal is a remedy that the more YOU
take Of it the better: IL is not a drug at
all. but simply absOTbS the gases and i'm
purities always present in the stomach
and inteStines and carries them out OF the
sy stem.
Charcoal svveetens the breath after
smoking. drinking or after eating onions
and other odorous vegetables
Charcoal effeCJUaIly clears ard improves
the complexion. 1t whitens the teeth and
further acts as natura. and eminently
safe cathartic,
II absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels: II dis
infeots 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
Etuart's Charcoal IloZenges; they are
composed OF the finest powdered ViIiouy
charcoal. and other harmless antfsenfi0s
in tablet form, or rather IN the torn, az
large pleasant tasting Iozenges tIa char
coal being mixed with honey
The daily use Of these lozengas will soon
tell in much improved condition OF tha
general health, better complexion, sweeter
breath and puref blood, and the beauty IF
f. IS that no possible harm can result
from their continued use, but. on the
contrary, great benefit.
A Buffalo physician, in speaking OF the
be nsfitE OF Charcoal, says. II advise Stu
arts Charcoal I4ozsRges to all patients
suffering from gas In stomach ard bowels
end to clear the complexion and purify
the bFes tn, mouth and threat: I also be-
lleVs the liver is greatly benefited By the
daily use Of theInI they cost but 25 cents
a box at drug stores, and although in
some sense q patent preparation vet I
believe l get more and better charcoal IN
Gtuaft's Charcoal Lozenges than IN any
Of the ordinary charcoal tablets"

FRANCE EXPECTS
QUICK RETURN
Concession to the American Insur-
ance Companies and Controversy
Finally Settled.
NEW LAW is ADVOCATED
HINT GIVEN THE WASHINGTON
GOVERNMENT.

Paris, Feb. 1.-THE French govern
ment has made a notable concession to
the American insurance companies
whereby the new insurance law will not
be applied so as to injuriously affect
their interests, This closes a long and
animates controversy which threatened
at one time to result IN restrictions
making It difficult for the American
companies to continue doing business
in France. The concessions now grant
ed are distinct mark Of the govern
ment's desire to continue and augment
the friendly relations between the two
countries.
Coincidence Pointed Out.
It is a coincidence that this friendly
act occurs while the American dele
gates at Algeciras are able to exert i'm
portant pressure in ameliorating the
B'ranco-German differences. The new
insurance law permitted the govern
ment to require foreign companies to
deposit French securities as a guaran-
tee for the payment of French policies.
The American companies agents viii
deposit French bonds covering their
future business, but they objected to
making an enormous purchase of
French securities covering their past
business, approximately $40, 900 600 The
government has now waived the latter
deposit on condition that the compa-
MES publicly announce that their past
business is guaranteed by American Sc
curities and not by French securities.
Why 1t Was Done.
The regulation 10 this effect with the
government endorsement has been sub
mitted to the council Of state as q pre-
Hmirary TO its official PRONUNCIATION by
the state department. Though Ambas-
sadCr Mccormick has taken an active
part in the controversy its satisfactory
conclusion has been communicated to
Washington by Charge d'Affaires Wig
maud, who advised the department that
1t was the belief in diplomatic quarters
that Frances friendly course would be
recognized by suitabl acknOWled ge-
ments Of the American government and
sympathetic consideration for French
interests in other pending questions
However, Frances action was entirely
spontaneous, with the slightest sugges-
ton Of the Moroccan or other ques-
lions.
