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
disinfectant and purifier in nature, but
few realize it's value when taken into
the human system for the same
cleansing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
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 on
Ions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and I'M
proves the complexion, it whitens tue
teeth and further acts as natural anu
eminently safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases Whlch
collect in the stomach and bowels; III
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another, but probably the besl
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 tel, in much improved condition
Of the general health, better complex
ion, sweeter breath and purer blood,
and the beauty of it is, that no posi-
BILE harm can result from their contin-
ued use, but on the contrary, great
benefit.
A Buffalo physician in speaking OF
the benefits of charcoal says: Il ad-
wise Stuarts 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; also believe the liver
Is greatly benefited by the daily use
Of them; they cost but twenty-fi five
cents box at drug stores, and al
though in some sense a patent prepar-
alton, yet l believe I get more and bet
ter charcoal in Stuart's Charcoal Loz-
enges than in any of the ordinary char
coal tablets"

Spring medicine

The best is Hoods Sarsaparilla. It
is the best because it does the most good.
While it makes the blood pure, fresh
and lively, it tones the stomach to bet
ter digestion, creates an appetite, stimu-
lates the kidneys and liver, gives new
brain, nerve and digestive strength.
An unlimited list of cures-4o, 600 tes-
testimonials in years-proves its merit

Low Tells of Farm Orchards.

Low holds that the farm orchard, If
the same care and attention be given
it that is given other branches of
farming, will net the farmer more than
any other number of acres of cultivat-

the popular idea, that to set out the

the cause of most of the failures. Or

is CALLED FOR HEARING OF CON.
TEST IN THE PHILADELPHIA
COURT
coDIcIL IS INVOLVED
Estate of Chemist is Valued at Sixty
Millions of Dollars-NearIy All is Be.
aueathed to Daughter, Mrs. Annie
Walker.

Philadelphia, Oct. 15.-The great
contest inaugurated to have invalid the
VIII OF William Weightman, the mil.
lona1re chemist who died leaving an
estate valued at about sixty millions
was called for hearing today in Or.
phanss court Under the terms of the
VIII as offered for probate, nearly all
the vast fortune was bequeathed to
MT. Welghtman's daughter, Mrs. Annie
Weightman Walker.
The suit to set aside the will is insti.
tuted by Mrs. Jones Wister, daughter
tn-law of Weightman, on behalf of a
minor daughter, Martha Weightman,
who seeks to prove Weightman left
a codicil to the will amply providing
for the grand daughter and other heirs
to the estate. Mrs. Walker denies
such ccdicil exists. If the will is
broken five granddaughters and a
grandson Of Weightman will be bene
fitted. The case attracted consider
able attention because of the social
prominence of those concerned.
When court reconvened after the
the noon recess the case, on motion
of the attorneys for Mrs. Wister was
postponed. The action caused a sur.
prise. There was rumor that there
had been a compromise. The attorney
for Mrs. Walker denied this emphati
cally. The case cannot come up again
for some weeks.

was necessary to excuse him from
giving further evidence. He declared
he had been ruined because he had
dared to deal with the farmer and
track shovelers. He declared that dis
elimination against him had been dou-
bled because the railroads had refused
to give him cars in which to trans
port grain. Secret letters and circu-
lars to members of the Iowa State
Grain Dealers associate and similar
documents issued to the Illinois as
sociation were read to the commits
