THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL
Few People Know How Useful u il
preservinE Health aud Bcaut,.

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal is
the safest and most efficient disinfectart
and puriher 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 1t the better it is not a drug at ALI
but simply absorbs the gases and impurities
always present in the stomach ana intes-
tines and carries them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after smok-
ing. drinking or after eating onions and
other odorous vegetab es.
Charcoal effectually clears and improves
the complexion, it whitens ,he teeth and
further acts as natural and eminently
safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which col
lect in the stomach and bowels; it disn-
fects the mouth and throat from the poison
of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one form or
another, but probably the best charcoal and
the most for the money is in Stuarts Char
coal 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 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: Il advise
Stuarts Charcoal Lozenges to all patients
suffering from gas in stomach and bowels
and to clear the complexion and purify the
breath, mouth and throat; l also believe
/ the liver is greatly benefited by the dali,
use of them; they cost but twenty-five cents
| a box at drug stores, and although in some
sense a patent preparation, yet l believe
| get more and better charcoal in Stuart''
| Charcoal Bozenges than in any of the or

ONE CHANCE GATHERS MISSED

Make n Howl.

Had John r. Gathers seen certain in
scriptions on a recent pay roll of street
department employees sent in by one Of
the foremen TO Commissioner Hummel it
is probable another earthquake would have
occurred at the city hall.
On the roster sent in by this foreman
appeared the names OF c.. o. Lobeck and
Charles II. Withheld. Mr.. Lobeck is city
comptroller and Mr.. Withheld is building
inspector, so it was prima facie evidence
of the stuffng of pay rolls.
Fortunately Mr. Gathers knew nothing
about the occurrence. The truth is that
to a Swedish person who could not talk
English was applied the name Of Lobeck,
and to a large, muscular colored man was
given the patronymic Of the building in
spector. The real names Of the laborers
had been lost I'm the shuttle somewhere and
Commissioner Hummel could not restrain
his humor
OF course when the accounts got to the
real pay rolls and appropriation ordinances
the proper names were discovered and in

OMAHA SECOND CORN MARKET
Surpassed in Cities Of World Only by
Chicago as Primary Mart.
KANSAS CITY SAFELY IN The REAR
Gate city Went out of Year with
Biggest Monthly Receipts for
Grain Ever Recorded
Here.

Omaha's grain market eclipsed in Decem-
Der all previous records by total receipts
for the month of 6.OO4s0O bushels of all
kinds Of grains This was due largely 20
the movement of corn. OF which 4,ll4,JD
bushels were received during the month.
At the same time predictions OF Secre-
tary Merchant OF the omaha Grain ex-
change were fulfilled, to the effect that
Omaha for the year would hold second
place among the primary corn markets Of
the world, Chicago only being larger in
this respect. 1t has been a close race be-
tween Omaha. st. Louis and Kansas city,
this city keeping slightly in the lead all
year. The figures from the two rival cities
have not been received get. but both are a
modest distance behind Omaha.
Receipts and shipments were twice as
large as for the eleven months OF 1904, dur
ing which the grain exchange was In opera
ton. Receipts of all grain for 1905 were
&523,5o0 bushels, against IT, i33, "a bushels
in 1904. from February / to December 81.
Total shipments of all grains for 1895 were
&2Jl,0O0 bushels, as against 1870, 1876 BUSH
els In 1904 from February to December 81.
The most marked increase was in corn, of
which receipts were $3.50, 7S5 bushels in 1901
and 1911 800 bushels I'm 1906.

shipments Of grain for Omaha and Council

Bring the Budget within the
Limits Prescribed by
the Charter.

When the council meets Thursday after
noon to make the apportionment of money
from the general fund to the various de-
partments and branches of the city gov
eminent it will find before it the rather
delicate problem of looping s27,2s4 from the
aggregate of the amounts asked for by the
officers and appointees.
The charter limitation to the general fund
is s26S co., which, reduced by 10 per cent
required by the charter and amplihed by
$4,000 of miscellaneous receipts, leaves
$3.50, 200 available Departmental heads de-
mand total of s2s7, 2s4. Reductions will
have to be mace some place.
Both the judgment and health depart
ment funds must come out of the general
fund this year, which is an innovation. As
for the other funds It is the intention to
play them to the limit because of neces-
sity. In making the certificate to the
county commissioners the maximum was
