THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL
Few People Know How Useful It Is in
Preserving Hes.ch and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that cbax-
coal IS the safest and most efficient dis

few realize its value when taken into

CHARCOAL is remedy that the more
you take of 1t the better; 1t IL not a
drug at all, but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present In
the stomach and iutestines and carries
them out OF the system.

smoking, drinking. or after eating onions

CHARCOAL enectually clears and i'm

II absorbs the injurious gases which
collect IN the stomach and bowels; Il

the poison Of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal In one form

BENEFIT TO AGRICuLTuRIsT.

struct Farmers in The Uses of
Deneturized Alcohol.

Norfolk, Va, July 9.-The value of

of this product are known to the far
mrrs of the country. Uncle Sam be-
in" DESTROYS of "iviu" the public the
full benefit of the opportunities in

the Jamestown Exposition showing
the development and uses of dcnatur-
izcd alcohol which is made from the
products of the farm aud garden.
This exhibit will be in charge of COM
prtcnt officials of the Experiment
Stations Of the Department of A"ri-
culture.
Tn connection with this Government
exhibit will be exhibits of various
kinds of internal combustion engines
using denaturizcd alcohol for fuel.
Farmers will learn at the jamestown
Exposition how to save labor in
thousand different ways. They will
bo shown how they can utilize mach
incry for saving wood, chopping
stock food, pumping water and many
other things. And the farmers wife
can employ machinery for doing her
clurning, washing, operating her sew
ing machine and in many other ways
to save labor. Special machinery is
already being made for utilizing this
new and cheap fuel and so economi-
cal will be this fuel alcohol that
every farmer can make his own sup
ply from the waste products of his
farm.
Uncle Sam will also show the public
how to use denaturized alcohol as
fuel for heating and cooking pur-
poses at home and for lighting the
houses and country roads. He will
teach the farmers how they may save
time and expense by making their
fuel and lights at so small cost
that their living expenses will be re-
duccd to minimum and their con-
vcnicnccs $" greatly increased that
they will find real luxury in living
on farm.

TROLLEY CARS ARE COMING.
Throughout the Southern States In

Attracting Great Attention

"Activity in the construction of

Electric Railroad calls attention to
the fact that in several other quarters
work Is under way to connect centers
Of population by means Of such trans
portation routes and also to develop
intervening territory. Although work
has not begun on the Houston and
Galveston line, the syndicate which
took up the plan to connect Baltimore,

the object of doing as much as pos

such rate as to elicit an expression
from the president Of the company
that it is expected to complete and
operate the line by July Of next
years.
"Another electric railway upon
which construction is being pushed is
the Richmond and Chesapeake Bay

Canary Found it's Voice.
New York Evening Post.

New York Evening Post.
y once son"less canary, who has a
winter home on Central Park, South,
and now is spending a vacation at
HUNTINGTON, "found" his voice in a
mysterious manner through the air
of Il sheet Of fly-paper. This is the
way it came about:
The little bird was allowed to leave
his cage one day last week. In fit
ting around the room he went too
near window overlooking Long Is
land sound. Perhaps he wanted to
gaze out; maybe he intended to end
his captivity by flying away. At any
rate, as he approached the open win
dow his feet stuck to a piece of fly
paper lying on the seat. His mistress
saw him and cried aloud for maid
to aid in the work of rescue. When
the girl arrived, the bird, apparently
liking his resting place, had sunk
down upon his breast, and all his
downy front feathers were fast glued
to the paper. To loosen him, the maid
brought scissors and hot water for
softening the sticky mixture. When
at last he was free, the feathers had
been clipped close on his breast, and
his tiny feet were still sticky. But
wonder Of wonders-he began to
sing. That was something he had
never done before, but from the day
of. the accident until now he has trill-
ed continually.
"ITc wasn't frightened into recov-
cring his VOICE. commented the own
en- yesterday. "Of that,I am sure, be-
cause he seemed to like the fly pap
cr. My theory is that the insect poison
on the paper helped his throat in some
way.

project which at the present time is

"Thcrc is not Il Southern State
without an ihtcrurban electric rail
way plan. Maryland, for instance,
has not only the Baltimore, Washine-
ton and Annapolis line, but the pro-
posed Baltimore and Frederick Elcc-
tric Railway, upon which construc-
ton may begin at any time, not to
mention several other plans of lesser
importance. In Virginia the Washing
ton aud Winchester and the Salem
and Roanoke are among the plans
which may be carried out within a
comparatively short period. In West
Virginia there are numerous electric
railway projects, including one around

sanitation is aimed at and one evil
dence Of this is that there are no
angles inside the rooms. The walls
round one into the other, and the
ceiling CURVES down to the walls.
There are no places for germs to con-
gregate. All the windows and door
facings are flush and a host turned
on the walls and ceilings can cleanse
the rooms of every particle of dirt
and dust. This is most essential.
The building is steam-heatcd
throughout.
1t was built by Mr. John Milady
ana is model of its kind. Physi-
clans and experts who have seen 1t
say that there are no finer, andbettcr
conceived, in the South, and there are
few within prison walls anywhere.
Mr.. Milady. while using all means
possible to make the building what
should be desired in the way of need,
has not neglected the aesthetic. and
this is evidence by the decorations on
the building, which, while not often
Sive, are very strieking. y appropriate
Latin notices adorn the towers one
of these being ''pro bono generis. y
That the building will be of great
help cannot be doubted. The patients
will, of cause, be kept under reuglar
inspection and everything locking to
sanitary principles will be observed.
Sputum cups will be worn, as is done
in every modern hospital of the kind.
This is but one instances of what Capt.
Griffith, the humane and intelligent
superintendent, has detailed, after
consultation with experts on the sub
ject. He has studied the subject
thoroughly, and with DR.. S. E. Har-
mon, the prison physician, has about
formulated the rules necessary. The
compliment paid him in naming the
hospital for him is certainly in no
way underserved.

TUBERCULOSIS HOSPITAL.
Within Penitentiary wass Designed in
Every Way to Reduce Per Cent
of Death From Dread Dis
ease by Isolation.

The new Griffith hospital for tub
erculosis at the State prison is now
in use, and already its benefits are
being obsercvd, by the physicians and
other persons who casually visit the
institution, butnot So much them as
by the resident physicians and the
management of the institution.
The hospital has been fifty named
for Capt. d. J. Griffith, the honorrd
and respected superintendent of the
penitentary and he has been working
on the evolution of the conception for
many months.
Last year 30 prisoners died within
the walls and Of these % had tuber-
cular troubles. Whether or not this
per cent. would have been as large
with the new ohspital in usce cannot
be definitely stated but it is we'll
known that malady Of this charac-
ter is so vitally contagious that the
death rate from this cause must per-
force be greatly reduced by the SIM
pie means of isolation.
The new building, which as has
been said, was named after Supen-
mtendant d. J. Griffith, by reason
Of the board of directors and without
his knowledge, is a handsome struc-
turc, two stories in height. of red
