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 disnfec-
tant and purifier In nature, but few real
lie Its value when taken into the human
system for the same cleansing purpose.
Charcoal Is a remedy thattthe more you
take of 1t the better; 1t Is not a drug at
all but simply absorbs the gases and I'm
puritieS always present In the stomach
and intestines and carries them out OF the
system.
Charcoal sweetens tho breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating onions
and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and improves
the complexion. it whitens the teeth and
further acts as u natural and enlinently
safe cathartic.
It absorbs the injurious gases which
collect In the stomach and bowels; 1t dis
infects tho mouth and throat from the
poison of catarrh.

or another, but probably the best char

Vital Question of Water and

Sgl dkC lNOW " DlSCuSSlOIl
Especial to The Times-D spatch.)
ASHLAND, VA, january 1O.--With the
advent OF each municipal Improvement or
new public enterprise in Ashland the vital
question of water and sewerage comes
up for serious discussion. Those who
have long made their residence hero
hnve become so accustomed to the absence
OF water and sewer advantages that 1t
is hard for them to shake of tho lethar
gy, but a new element. made up largely
OF city people. is becoming more and
more in evidence in Ashland every year.
With every projected Improvement this
serious drayback Is encountered. Tho
town itself affords many happy and pleas
ing features of suburban life. and, being
college town, 1t has exceptional adj
vantages of society and culture. a party
of Philadelphia capitalists and engineers.
who have been successfully organizing
and establishing small local systems will
soon visit here for the purpose of con-
sldering the opportunity in Ashland for
an up-to-date sewerage and water sys-
tenn.
Ashland liz located on table-land or
plateau on level with the highest church
steeple in Richmond. 272 feet above tide,
with fall to the north. cast and south
The late Major r. r. D. Myers took a

Ing It's exceptional geographical position
for draining. stated that the town is
ninety feet above the track level OF the
Richmond. Fredericksburg and Potomac
Railroad, in the centre of the South Anna
bridge, which is three miles north of
Ashland, there being a grade OF thirty
feet to the mile, and the river Is one
hundred feet below the bridge. Ashland
drains into the South Anna River on the
north and to the Chickahominy on the
South, and indirectly into the Pamunkey
River on the east at Sulphur Springs. The
country rises very rapidly west of Ash
land, and at G'oodali's Tavern, six and
a. half miles from here, the Blue Ridge
can be easily seen.
An interesting preliminary survey was
made ten years ago by the late Charles
Child. and a very feasible plan was then
considered.
1t is suggested that the lay Of the
land for damage by sewers and for a
supply of water from a central station
and the inevitable growth of the town
offers special inducement to capitalists.
1t Is estimated that an up-to-date water
plant and necessary sewerage system can
be built for less than 10000. and the dis
cusson is now on.
