Falliere's Anecdote.

to his friend that he had found that

GAVE SPLENDID SHOW.
Beach and Bowers Minstrels De-
lighted Small Hut Appreciative
Audience.

Beach and Bowers minstrels re-
turned to Salem last night, and
played here for the first time in six
years. The last time this aggrega-
ton was here was on the closing
night of the old Read opera house.
Many people in Salem still remember
the splendid performance given on
that occasion.
The troupe has lost none OF it's ex-
cellent points during its absence. AS
first-class minstrel show, Beach
and Bowers still keep in the lead.
The music, for the most part. was
new. the songs bright and catchy,
and the jokes a little out of the COM
mon run.
The men who compose the troupe
are real artists. Eugene Osier, the
basso profundo, who sang the CAR
morer's Song" and several other Sc
lections, has as splendid a voice as
has been heard in Salem for many
moons. Several musical people said
last night that It was really the best
singing that was ever heard in the
Salem Grand Opera House. The COM
pany carries quartet of fine sing
ers.
The audience was conspicuous by
It's absence. BY strange streak Of
luck or bad taste. the Salem public
goes light on good shows and strong
on poor ones. When the Georgia
minstrels held the boards a few
months ago, the people fell over
themselves in frantic haste to buy
tickets; yet Beach and Bowers give
inoomparably the better show, and
played to empty benches. Perhaps

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful n Is
In Preserving Health and
Beauty.
Costs Nothing to Try

Nearly everybody knows that
charcoal Is the safest and most EN-
Client dislnfectant and purifier in ma
ture, but few realize its value when
taken into the human system for
the same cleansing purpose.
Charcoal Is a remedy that the
more you take OF il the better: II is
not drug at all, but simply absorbs
the gases and impurities always pres
ent In the stomach and intestlnes
and carries them out of the system.
Charolal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating
onions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and I'M
proves the complexion, Il whitens
the teeth and further acts as a nat
ural and emmently safe cathartic.
II absorbs the injurlors gases
which collect In the stomach aud
bowels; Il dislnfects 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 Log
enges; they are composed OF the
finest powdered Willow charcoal,
and other harmless antiseptios 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 seen tell In much improved
condition OF the general health, bet
ter complexion, sweeter breath and
purer blood. and the beauty of Il is.
that no possible harm can result
from their continued use. but. ON
the contrary, great benefit.
A Butfaio physician, in speaking
OF the benefits OF charcoal. says: II
advise stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to
all patients suffering from gas ia
stomach and bowels. and to clear the
complexion and purify the breath,
mouth and throat; also believe the
liver Is greatly benefited by the daily
use of them; they cost but twenty
nve cents box at drug stores. and
although in some sense patent
preparation, yet believe I get more
and better charcoal in stuart's
Charcoal Lozenses than In any OF
the ordinary charcoal tablets"
