THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful it is in
PRESERVING Heath 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
cleansing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
you take of it the better; it is not a
drug at all. but simply absorbS the
gases and impurities always present
in the stomach and intestneS and
carries them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
onions and other odorous vcgeta bles.
Charcoal effectually clears and i'm
proves the complexion, it whtens the
teeth and further acts as Il natural
and eminently safe cathartic.
1t 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 Ole
form or another, but probably the best
charcoal and the most for the money
is in Stuart's 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
lozenges. the charcoal being mixed
with honey.
The daily use of these lozenges will
soon tell in a much improved condition
of the general health, better COM
plexion, sweeter breath and purer
blood, and the beauty of it is that nc
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: Il adj
wise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all
patients suffering from gas in the
stomach and bowels. and to clears
the complexion and purify the
breath, mouth and throat;
also believe the liver is great
~ benefited by the daily use of them;
at drug stores. and although in son,c
sense patent preparation. yet I be-
h"vc set more ana better charcoal in
Stuari's Charcoal LoZene"s than III
any Of the ordinary charcoal tablets.

in session practically all Of last sum-
mer and cost in round numbers $4,000.
Nearly a hundred meetings were held
and these extended into tie present
session of Congress without any re-
port having been made. The House
took up the subject again at the pres
ent session and passed the bill which
bears Representative Hepburn's name.
Senators Cullom, Dolliver and Clapp
became its sponsors in the Senate. Ow-
ing TO the Illness of Senator Culiom
! The burden of the contest fell on Sen
s1tors Dolliver and Clapp who success
fully defeated all amendments in a de-
ternlincd fight made by some of the
strongest men in the Senate. Several
, times there had been efforts to bring
the bill to a vote, but these were fruit
! less until today.
Before the session today the result
was in doubt. The division Of the Re
publican senators on the question of
judicial review Of the orders of the
Interstate Commerce Commission left
the Democratic members i'll absolute
, control. The minority members after
vainly trying tosget together last night.
held n second conference early this
mornin. The expression at the confer
ence was to report the bill without rec
ommcndation of any character, but the
agreement was not binding. With that
understanding the Democrats went in
to tho meeting. The Republicans We're
already assembled. The minority did
not make its decision known and the
| Hepburn bill was taken up and the
scn if,,''
sought to amend the first section. At
| that juncture Senator Dolliver, lead
ing the force that was opposed to
amendments, read telegram from
Senator Cullom asking that he be re-
| corded against all amendments thN
| Were not recommended by the COM
! mittee unanimously and to cast his
vote for the Hepburn bill as it came
| from the House.
| Objection was made to recording Sena-
tor Cullom on any amendments that had
not been submitted to him. Senator Dol
liver then moved to report the Hepburn
bill favorably as it was passed h. thc
House. and fSjd that he would demand
that Cullor11 vote be recorded. This pre-
cpitated n lining up on the only i'm
rortlnt contartion and the Democrats de
sired time for further consultation. A
recess was taken until o'clock.
Tho four minority members present
withdrew to Senator Tillman's committed
room and then decided to stand rs 4 uni
for the Hepburn bill with the reservation,
provided in the resolution that was final
" adopted. They did not insist upon this
freedom Of action being made part 81
the resolution, however.
When the committee reaSsembled Sen
ator Deliver called for n vote on his mo
ton. Senator Foster said that he va
ready to vote for it. but made the state
ment that he should reserve the right t.
vote for amendments in the Senate ii
he chose. That was the position takei
by Senator McLaurin and Senator AL
drich said that If that was the situation
it should ba made a part Of the motion

Intel States Marshal Aayn sod

United States Marshal Mayo sold at
auction at Baird's Mills Wednesday
the last of the boundary stores against
which United States officers have been
arrayed for some time. The store was
seized by customs official in the pi oS-
eculion of a smuggling case. The build
Ing was sold with the understanding
that it shall be torn down or moved a
reasonable distance from the boundary
lire between Maine and New Bruns-
wick. so as to render 1t unavailable Tor
liquor smuggling purposes. The prac-
tice has been for keepers of lire stores
to maintain a bar on each side of The
line, 10th under one roof. so that they
could shift the traffic from enc side to
the other and defy either American or
Canadian customs officers. Not until

two governments united in a Simulta-
