J. s. B. THOMPSON TALKS
 OF STATION SITUATION

J. S. B. Thompson, general agent of the Southern railway. with headquarters in Atlanta, and secretary of the Birmingham Terminal company. spent yesterday here in conference with the attorneys repre- senting the several railroads in connection with the franchises which are being sought from the city for the new union passenger station.
 "The City Council" said Mir Thompson, Twill take final action on the petition of the Terminal company for certain privi- leges at the meeting next Wednesday night and as soon as these privileges are secured the actual work of construction will commence.
 '"There has been no unusual delay in starting work on the station. When sev- eral railroad companies are called on to put up $2O0,0OO or $SOO.OOO each for a sta ton the plans have to be very specific and each company must know exactly where it stands.
 "There has been no hitch, and the rail- roads are thoroughly fin accord in the mat ter but there are hundreds of details which have to be worked out and settled before work commences. We estimated to- day that the Terminal company would spend S1 ,395a000 on the station. It is an immense undertaking, necessitating a building extending nearly two blocks.
 "We have to figure on building sub

way for Fifth avenue, which alone will changing the tracks to run into the sta- ton and for the driveways to lead to it, and for innumerable other things which cannot be arranged in a day"
 In regard to the Southerns recent bond issue of $2O0 GOO GOO, of which S15, eco, GOO will be used for immediate improvements, MT. Thompson said:
 Some of this s15, 900 will be used to pay for work that has already been com pleted. such as the double tracks that we have either just completed or that we have under way. Considerable double tracking is being done by the Southern, notably that between Austel and At lanta.
 We will provide for the equipment we have recently ordered-freight cars, pas senger coaches and locomotives. The Southern has given large orders for equip ment, among others being an order for about 10000 freight cars.
 No special improvements are contem- plated around Birmingham. We are al- ways making improvements here, but nothing large is projected now except the building of the new freight depot on Twentieth street, between the railroads and Powell avenue the plans for which have been accepted

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful It Is In
 Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal is the safest and most efficient disinfect- ant and purifier in nature, but few realize it's value when taken into the human system for the same cleansing purpose.
 Charcoal is remedy that the more you take of 1t the better; it Is not drug at all, but simply absorbs the gases and Impurities always present in the stomach and intestlnes and carries them out Of the system.
 Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking, drinking or after eating onions and other odorous vegetables
 Charcoal effectually clears and improves the complexion, 1t whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and emlnently safe cathartic.
 It absorbs the injurious gases which collect in the stomach and bowels; 1t dsinfects 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 Stuart's Charcoal LozenRes: they are composed of the finest powdered Willow charcoal, and other fsrmless antiseptics in tablet form or rather fin the form of large pleasant tasting lozenges. the charcoal being mixed with honey.
 The daily use of these Iozenges will soon tell in much improved condition of the general health, better complexion. sweeter breath and purer blood, and the beauty of 1t is, that no 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: 'I advise Stu arts Charcoal Lozenges to all patients suffering from gas in stomach and bowels and to clear the complexion. and purify the breath, mouth and throat; I also be- lieve the liver is greatly benefited by the daily use of them; they cost but twenty-five cents a box at drug stores. and although in some sense a patent preparation, yet I believe I get more and better charcoal in Stuarts Charcoal Log enges than in any of the ordinary char coal tablets"
