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
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 intestines am! carries
them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath atser
smoking. drinking or after eating on
ions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and inn
proves the complexion, it 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; IL
disinfects 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 Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they
are composed of the finest powdered
Willow charcoal and other harmless
antiSepttcS IN tablet form OF ratHei
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 adj
wise Stuart's 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: l also believe the liver
Is greatly benefited by the daily use
Of them; they cost but twenty-five
cents box at drug stores, and al
though in some sense patent prepar-
alton. yet believe get more and bet
ter charcoal in Stuart's Charcoal Loz-
enges than in any Of the ordinary char
coal tablets

GATES COMPANY CONCERT.
Organization, Lead by Talented Reader.
Mrs. Lulu Tyler Gates, Gives Good
Entertainments.

The Lulu Tyler Gates Company
composed of Mrs. Gates, reader: Miss
Ebba Hjertstedt, violinist; Mr. Walter
Bentley Ball, barytone; and Miss Grace
Gilmore, pianist and accompanist. APP
peared at the Odeon Friday night be-
fore the usual large Y. NJ. c. A. course
audience. Mrs. Gates, who leads the
company, stands easily at the head of
the quartet as an artistic entertainer.
Probably her superior as dramatic
and humorous reader has never appear
ed before local audience.
From her initial appearance to her
closing number she was the star and
called forth the sympathy and fullest
appreciation of her audience. She gave
as her opening, and probably the best
of her numbers, the dramatic arena
scene from ''The Prince of India" by
Lew Wallace. Mrs. Gates not only
told the story with deep feeling, but
acted the parts. She has wonderful
ly strong, expressive voice and in her
encores gave a repertoire of humorous
dialect and pathetic readings which
showed a wide range Of study. Among
these her negro dialect sketches were
wonderfully true to life. She was COM
PEELED to respond twice to each number
and altogether she appeared nine times
Miss Hjertstedt is violinist of mer-
it, and her playing was full of feeling
Mr. Ball has smooth barytone voice,
and sings with pleasing dash and vim,
and while he is good his solos were not
of unusual merit. Miss Gilmore is an
accompanist rather than solo per-
former.
AS a whole the concert was a most
pleasing one, and gave general salts
faction, yet it cannot be placed in the
same class with the Jackson Samri1is
Company which appeared before the
patrons Of the course on November %.

portance Of demanding competency
from candidate for the office OF
county superintendent 1t is her con-
tention that a third term is no objec-
ton TO competent officer being re-
tanned What this woman says is very
true. The good of our rural schools
largely depends upon the county SUI
perln,endent and yet this is not an Of
nee that attracts the ablest talent in
school work Because of the fact that
ii is Il political office many school
man will seek positions in larger
towns instead of running for office TO
get his job. For this reason more
than half the counties In Iowa have
adopted the custom of electng and re-
eiectng their competent superintend-
cnts for three, four and even six
terms Generally. however. the rule OF
two terms and out is not bad one.
More lapseS in the public service oc-
cur in the third terms than in the
first. Office holders become to think
the public is inattentive and that the
office was created for the office holder,
hence the justification in working 1t
for all there is in it. This is said not
for any discouragement to Miss Hos
teller, for she has been an exception
ally competent official and Is a very
worthy woman. II this good woman
writing to- the T.-R. believes Miss
Hostetler to be the most competent
candidate she should vote and work
for her regardless of the third term. 1t
is only, when all other things are
equal that the third term objection
applies.
Why Judge Burnham gave the
