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 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 a remedy that the more
you take of it the better; 1t 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 sy tenn.
Charcoal 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 natural and
eminently safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; it
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 anti
septics in tablet form or rather in the
form of large, pleasant tasting lozenges,

Supreme Lecturer From Wisconsin
Expounds Tenets of Woodcratt
to Larqe Gathering

Supreme Lecturer Charles S. Whelan
of the Modern Woodmen of America.
last night addressed the members OF
the fraternity on "Woodcraft' at
Blanchard hall. Mr.. Whelan's coming
has been awaited with much anticipa-
ton, as the brilliant Wisconsin speaker
is one of the best informed men in the
country on fraternalism.
The Modern Woodmen have had a

Whelan's visit will doubtless result in

Invitations had been freely issued
for last night to those interested in the
subject of Woodcraft, and the tenets
of the order received a deeper and
wider significance as handled by the
speaker.
Committees were on hand to meet
Mr.. Whelan and his audience and to
see that all the details of arrangements
were carried out. and the results were
hattering. A reception was held after

CELLULOID COLLAR EXPL0DES
SYPHON S0USES THE VICTIM

through a place about a foot wide he
jabbed his elbow into Berklin' 8
stomach.
The force of the blow was too much
for the young man and he promptly
Coughed, and as he did so the cigar
stub with its tiny rim of glowing
ashes fell gently to his shirt bosom, and
in the downward passage the fire
caught the celluloid collar.
In an instant there was flash, the
collar famed up and sent little tickles
of flame over the ears and neck of the
unfortunate Berklin.
Take 1t off, let me get out, you're
on my foot" he shouted as he sprang
from one side to another and waved his
arms frantically. Several men caught
him and threw him in the mud and
rubbed dirty water over his head and
neck, while others proceeded to con-
suit their books on First Aid 10 the
Injured"
Mineral Water Bath
One of the active rescuers made
desperate dash for nearby saloon
and in a moment emerged with big
syphon of mineral water. With this
he dashed through the crowd and
turned the full stream OF the sizzling
water on the unfortunate collar victim.
Then the real excitement began.
Rerklin managed to stand for the duck
ing in the muddy water because the
fire was causing him pain at that par
ticular moment, but he had partly re-
covered by the time the man with the
syphon returned and he objected to the
mineral water shampoo.
Words were passed and the men
clinched. But again fate was against
Berklin, and the stranger promptly
chastised him and then picking up the
syphon finished sousing the victim.
Some of Berklin's friends loaned him
a coat and hat and sent him home in
q rig.
The girl disappeared during the melee
and Berklin is now looking for the man
who invented celluloid collars and also
for the fat Individual who punched
him in the stomach.

What the motive was for the deed Is

his companion in an unconscious state

The first news the police had of the

are said to have come from the di-

the men employed there are accus-

Many a family depends largely upon
Peruna as family medicine and the
family physician.
Some farmers are far removed from
physicians, and in any case they are
far more self-reliant and more liable
to depend upon a household remedy
than people who live in the cities.
DR.. Hartman, who for many years
DIR. Hartman. who for many years
owns and manages one of the best
farms in the state of Ohio. is a friend
of the farmer, and it is with the farmer
that the immense bulk of his corre-
spondence is conducted.
The millions of booklets published
and distributed by DR.. Hartman every
year circulate chiefly among the farm
ing class.
A large number of unsolicited testi-
monials concerning Peruna come from
the farmers every year.

While Peruna is not confined to any

any other rely upon Peruna for the

DISTRICT ATTORNEY FINED
George Stidger of Denver Sentenced
to Pay $500 for Contempt
of Court
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
DENVER, Colo, Jan. 20.-Judgc
Frank r.. Johnson of the district court
today fined District Attorney George
Stldger $500 for contempt of court ano
committed him to the county Jail until
the fine is paid.
The trouble arose over the gamblers
cases. which were begun by Judge
Johnson in October and were taken
from his court by District Attorney
Stidger and removed to the criminal
division of the court for trial.
You have obStructed the due adj
ministration of Justice in this court,
Mr.. Stidger," said Judge Johnson,
when he imposed the fine. You have
attempted to bring ridicule on this
court in the eyes of the public and to
interfere with it's duty"
District Attorney Stidger protested
vehemently, saying that no notice of
an investigation of his action had been
given him. and charging the court with
unfairness
THE sentence stands" answered
Judge Johnson, calmly. ITO the de-
PENDANTS in this case, the men charged
with violating the gambling laws,
will say that the court is warranted in
discharging them on the grounds of
former jeopardy They may be dis
missed, but 1 warn them these later
proceedings in the cases are premature
and the court still holds the power to
rearrest them"
Judge Johnson intimated that he be-
lieves a conspiracy existed between
the district attorneys office, the sheriff s
office and some of the judges to Ce-
prive his court of the administration of
justice.
District Attorney Stidger was ad-
mtted to bail pending an appeal from
Judge Johnson's decision.

'Oranges and How to Promote Theil

discussions of the Pacific Coast Adver.
tising Mems association which con.
vened in the assembly room of the
chamber of commerce yesterday morn
ing and closed after the third session
which was held in the evening.
A number of representatives from the
coast cities attended
The papers related to the best
methods of making known the indus
tries of the state, and the advancement
of the orange production alone called
for three addresses that aroused much
discussion.
Officers were elected as follows: II

A. NJ. Pratt of Riverside read the
first paper at the morning session on
Selling Methods That Make Adver-
tising Possible
Referring to orange publicity Mr.
Pratt said
probably the most ideal way in
NNrni irh "a iun
oranges could be put into effect would
be a great organization of growers who
would be stockholders in Il mutual CO.
operative corporation that would con.
troll the entire advertising and sale of
oranges. Each grower would be as
sessed so much per box, knowing that
this assessment would not cost but
exist as an investment which would
bring back profits tenfold."
j. w. Jeffries of Los Angeles read
the second paper, his subject being
increasing Orange Consumption" Mr..
Jeffries said:
difficulties that beset the proper ad-
vertising of the orange. l believe that
the successful promotion work will
come only from some general plan of
general educational publicity as to the
merits of this fruit, with the wide view
of increasing its consumption as a
staple.
This need not deter the individual
from the application of his own ideas

A Talk to Farmers

The farmer is the salt of the earth.
Without the farmer, the industrial
world with all its furry and immense
wealth could not exist for a day.
1t is upon the soil that we all depend
for our living.
No matter how far one may be re-
moved from tilling the soil, or how
little he may know about the farmers
vocation, he is vitality dependent upon
the things which grow in the soil.
Farming is the basis of all wealth
and is the bulwark of all civilization.
The farming class is rapidly becom-
ing intelligent and shrewd in business
management.
The Reuben and the country bump
kin have disappeared and in their stead
a practical, well-trained business man,
capable of the highest form of COM
mercial activity, has arisen.
Peruna is a very popular medicine
among the farming class.

Pe-rn-un Is n Systemic Remedy
If Peruna proves efficient for catarrh
in one place, it will be equally potent
in any other place, because 1t is a sys-
temic remedy.
The people generally are very much
mistnformed as to the nature of
catarrh.
Catarrh is usually believed to be
confined to the head nose and throat.
Latterly we sometimes hear of catarrh
of the stomach and catarrh of the
bowels. Seldom, If ever. do we hear
of catarrh of any other organs.
1t is not because these organs are not
subject to catarrh. nor that catarrh of
these organs is not a very common
disease, but simply because it is not
generally known that affections of
these organs may be due to catarrh.
