THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL
Few People Know How Useful 1t Is in
Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal IS the safest and most efficient dis
infectant and purifier in nature. but
few realize its value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans
ing purpose
Charcoal is n remedy that the more
you take OF it the better: il 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 onions
and other odorous Vegeta bleS.
Charcoal effectuauy clears and i'm
proves the complexion, II whitens the
teeth and further acts as natural and
eminentiy safe cathartic.
II absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels: il
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal In one form
or another. but probably the best char
coal and the most for the money is
in Stuarts 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 loz-
enges, the charcoal being mixed with
honey.
soon tell i'm much improved condition
Of the general health. better complex
ion, sweeter breath. and pnrer blood
and the beauty Of IL is. that no pos
sibie harm can result from their con-
tinued 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 10 all
patients suffering from gas in stomach
and ooweis, and 10 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-five cents box at drug
stores. and although in some sense a
patent preparation, Yet l believe I get
more ard better charcoal in Stuarts
Charcoal Lozenges than IN any OF the
. ordinary charcoal tablets"

MINERS DEMANDS LESSENED

NEW YORK. March 31.-Oficial denial
is made today of the report from
Scranton that il is the purpose of the
anthracite opera tors to meet the miners
on Tuesday and inform them that unless
the order for calling the men out is
rescinded they will refuse to negotiate
the differences in the hard coal regions.

anthracite president today. Mr.
Mitchelrs action in calling the men out
was indecent but we will hear them and
give any new demands they may make
fuir consideration
Pending the negotiations. which viii
be resumed on Tuesday. tSa anthracite
operators say that there is little TO be
said
Plan of Mitchell.
There is information at hand which in
dicates that Mr.. Mitchell will present
the demands which have already been
refused, with here and there a slight
modification. The operators will refuse
these demands. and. on a refusal.
Mitchell hopes to obtain threshing out
in conference OF all the differences,
with the hope that some way may be
seen leading to an adjustment.
The operators have made no change
in their stand that they are willing to
continue their men under the condi-
tions of employment existing under the
award of the anthracite commission.
No Strike-Breakers-
None of the anthracite roads purposes
attempting to break the strike for some
time, and il the employees do not return

eral OF the companies today deny that
any strike-breakers have been hired
and disclaim any intention of doing so.
The mine superintendents of the var
ious companies will make an appeal to
the men to aid in the preservation of
the property. so that when the strike
is concluded the mines viii be in con-

effect that they give their printing to

bring forth good results
We have, therefore, provided you
with list of such houses. and you Will

is TO mail one of these cards TO the

chases after you return home In cases
where you patroniZe small dealers, who
are easily accessible. il will not be
necessary TO mail the card, and we
would request in that event you per-

ting trousers, especially for wear when
mounted. The quartermGster general
has approved Mr. Winters suggestion
that. the olive drab service breaches
should ne cut with more length in the
back breadth. They will have very
swagger appearance, comparing favor
ably with officers trousers. and viii be
tight from the knee down laced
through eyeiets which are faced with
leather near the knee. Mr.. Winter
recommended removing hip pockets.
At present the breeches are so tight
as to be uncomfortable in mounting.
The khaki breeches for mounted wear
will be practically the same as the
olive drab service brooches.
EIiInisate Hip Pocket.
The olive draD ana Khaki foot trou-
sers will be cut full on the thigh to
below the knee, with seam just be-
low the knee, and tight from there
down and laced the same as cavalry
brooches. The hip pocket will be elm
mated.
Mr.. Winter informed the board that
in workmanship and material the
American uniforms could not be inn
proved upon, but that they could be
distinctly improved as to style.
Although they have no wish to make
him military dude, it is the belief Of
the prominent officers that the Amer
lean soldier feels 4 great deal more
respect for himself and is much more
comfortable if he knows that his
clothes fit well and are handsome in
appearance.
General Humphrey received scores
of letters criticising his action in get
ting an English tailor to make these
suggestions, but he has also received
letters from many persons congratu-
lating him upon the step.
There has been no effort to do any
thing with the uniforms of officers,
which were improved three years ago.
The various government clothing fac
tories are being provided with patterns
for the improved garments, and in
few weeks all the new clothing Will be
manufactured after these patterns.

CHANGES UNIFORM
English Tailor's Suggestion For
Smarter Dress"
Adopted.
BETTER COATS ANDTROUsERS
Hip Pockets Eliminated and Overcoats
Can Be Turned into Comfortable
Sleeping Blankets.

Changes il the uniforms of enlisted
men of tIfe United State; army have
been ordered by the war department
as the direct result of suggestions
made by e. B. Winter. n military
tailor of London, who came TO the
United States several weeks ago al
the request of Quartermaster General
Humphrey. says Il Washington CORE
spondcnt of the New York Herald.
These changes will not affect the ma
terial or general chalscter of uniforms,
but Will make those now worn better
fitting and smarter in appearance.
General Humphrey appointed these
officers of the quartermaster's depart
ment {; board to consider the subject:
Colonel George Il. Pond, Majors ]. T..
Bellinger, ]. Is. Aleshire, John 7.
Knight and T. Ii. SIavins and Captain
L. Hardman. Mr.. Winter made pat
terms embodying his suggestions which
We're submitted to the board.
Adopt Overcont Pattern.
One OF Mr.. Winters patterns for an
oSercoat has been adopted. 1t is mod
eled on the olive drab overcoat now
used, but made much more full in the
back by means of a plat. The adj
ditional fullness is an advantage over
the present overcOat in that when the
wearer is mounted if the back of the
coat catches on the saddle there is suf-
ficient material in the skirt to prevent
it from being pulled away from the
knees. The increased fullness also
has an advantage jH affording more
cover when the Oyercoat is used for n
sleeping blanket
The board recommended and the
Quartermaster general has approved
Improvements in the present olive
drab service coat to the extent of put
ting two Sits in the back skirt, two
VS. at the collar and two darts in front
and adding plated patch pockets.
This garment will also have wider
shoulders and a closer waist The
collar will be a standing turnover. just
wide enough for the largest insignia.
The khaki service coat is to be cut on
the same pattern as the olive drab
service coat.
