the VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful It Is In
Preserving Health and Beauty.

Few People Know How Useful It Is in
Preserving Health and Beauty.
Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient dis
infectant and purifier in nature, but
few realize it's value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans
ing purpose.
Charcoal is remedy that the more
you take Of it the better; it is not a
drug at all, but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present in
the stomach and intestines and carries
them out Of the system. II
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking CRATER 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.
It absorbs the iniurlnns gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; it
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoalsin one form
or another, but probably the best char
coal 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.
The daily use Of these lozenges will
soon tell in much improved condition
Of the general health, better complexion,
.sWceter breath and purer blood, and the
beauty of it is that no possible harm
can result from their continued use, but
on the contrary, great benefit.

DREDGING FOR GOLD.
The Yield in California Exceeds That
Of Other Mining Meth
DDS,

The latest evolution in the sys-
tens and appliances of gold min
ing is that of the dredge. The
yield In California from the
dredges now exceeds the COM
bined yield of the hydraulic and
drift mines of the state, and also
greatly exceeds the placer yield.
The system of dredging, says the
Sunset Magazine, is practically a
form of placer mining, where i'm
proved modern appliances are
utilized to handle large quantities
of auriferOus material in a brief
space of time, and without the
use of water under high heads,

TEN MILES OF CHAMPAGNE
Immense Caves Of Rheims, Where
Vast Quantities Of the Wine
Are Stored.

Rheims is perhaps best KNOWN
to US because of that most beau
tiful relic of Gothic architecture
embodied in its cathedral. The
towns association with the ca
reer of Joan of Arc is another link
between US and it. Some may
even remember the tale OF its N
nous jackdaw. But there arefeW
who know Rheims as the centerO o.
the champagne trade and The
home of the most famous cham
payne firms in the world.
If you look in the city directory
you will find no less than 80 es-
Establishments for making cham
payne. And these are not the only
inhabitants who are connected
with the industry, for besides 70
firms which are employed in max
ing the corks used, there are al
most as many more who are en-
gagged in the machinery necessary
for the industry.
A visit to the immense caves
where the wine is stored is worth
while. Some of them extend for
miles under the city, and many
parts are completely honey
cOmbed with them. In order to
vary the temperature they are
often three stories deep under the
street level, and one may descend
to them by a fine fight Of steps,
some 116, which have been cut
from the chalky soil. Though the
caves extend for more than ten
miles, they are constantly being
