Stoicism Of McWiIlians, tho Buchanan
County Criminal, 10 Giving Away.
Special to Times-Republican.
Waterloo, March 3.-The indications
are now that William McWilliams, the
Buchanan county man who murdered
his entire family In cold blood and
confessed to the crime, may become in
sane from the great mental strain be
+ Is enduring. When Sheriff Caldwell
saw him in former visit at Ana
mosa, he appeared well and showed no
indication Of worry or insanity. Since
then his face has grown gradually
thinner, the expression has changed
and he is scarcely, the same man as
when entering the prison DOORS When
the sentence of death by hanging on
December IA, 1906, was pronounced
8 by Judge Blair, at independence, last
December, McWilliams stated that he
would walk to the gallows without a
murmur, but judged from his present
appearance after two months and
half Of confinement, he broods over
the tragedy and it may be that his
mind is slowly becoming unbalanced.
Calm elaboration behind the walls of
the penitentiary is doubtless RESPONSE
ble-he manifested no fear for his fate
or for the horrible crime he committed
during his confinement and trial at
Independence, even under searching
examinations to ascertain his motive
and to determine whether he was
insane

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful It 10 In
PRESERVING Health and Beauty.

Few People Know How Useful It 10 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 it's 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 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.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating on
ions and other odorous 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; 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.
The daily use Of these lozenges will
soon tel. in a much improved condition
Of the general health, better complex
ion, sweeter breath and purer blood,
and the beauty Of it is, that no posi-
BILE harm can result from their contin-
ued use. but on the contrary, great
benefit.
A Buffalo physician in speaking Of
the benefits of charcoal says: Il adj
wise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all
patients suffering from gas in stom-
ach and bowels. and to clear the COM
plexion and purify the breath, mouth
and throat; I 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 al
though in some sense patent prepar-
alton, yet believe get more and bet
ter charcoal in Stuart's Charcoal Loz-
enges than in any of.the ordinary char
coal tablets"
