into the human system for the cleansing
purpose.

vegetables.
Charcoal erectually clears and improves the
complexion 1t whitens the teeth and further acts
as a natural and eminently safe catbartic.
Il absorbs the injurious gases which collect u
the stomach and bowels: It disinfects the mouth
and throat from the poison Of catarrh.
All druggists cell charcoal IN one form

Hsve, in view OF the fact that Mertes was
practically declared dead one by Manager
Mc0raw when he traded him to St. Louis
for Shannon in an attempt to strengthen
the Giants, Mertes was very much dis
couraged by the lack Of confidence shown
by his old manager, and was on the verge
OF quitting at that time, but after few
days thought decided to be game and stick
the season out with the Cardinals. Now
that "Slamdon' is at home in Frisco with
his dog Happy" he thinks that travelling
with a tailender, after his experience as a
worlds champion, would be too painful, ana
he has decided to invest the big wad OF
coin that he has been accommodating FOR the
last thirteen years in planning mill in the
big coast town. Sam is to run the business
in partnership with his brother and ex-
poets to make big money helping to rebuild
Frisco.
