based solely upon this antitrust argu-
ment. The court sustained him.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1O.-With all
sorts of compromises rumored, the
senate committee on Interstate COM
merce today resumed consideration Of
railroad rate bills. The rupture in the
committee yesterday was smoothed
over temporarily at least. Senator
Clapp, however was not present today
Certain opponents OF the house bill
have suggested an amendment which
provides that courts may determine
the lawfulness of a rate fixed by the
commission which would amount to u

all subsequent orders of the commits.
sion. In effect this would mean that
after the Constitutionality of the pow
ers given the commission had been de-
termined by the highest court nothing
would stand in the way of execution
of the further orders issued by the
commission in accordance with this
construction. The railroads, of course,
would have the right of any litigant to
contest orders which they believed to
be unjust, but this would not obstruct
the continuance of the orders on any
ground except their lawfulness. Courts
would review the reasOnableness Of
rates in the manner permitted by the
house bill. This proposed amendment
Senator Aldrich is said to favor. 1t

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL
Few People Know How Useful II Is 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 its value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans
ing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
YOU take of it the better; It Is not q
drug at all, but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present
i'm the stomach and intestines and car
lies them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating
onions 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.
It absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels IL
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison of catarrh.
Ali druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another but probably the best
charcoal and the most for the money
they are composed. of the pure pow
dered willow charcoal and other harm-
less 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 q much improved .condi-
ton of the general health, better COM
plexion, sweeter 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.
A Buffalo physician in speaking of
the benefits of charcoal says: II ad-
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; l 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 a patent prepa-
ration, yet / believe 1 get more and
