THE VALJc OF CHARCOAL
Few People Know How Useful II Is In Pre-
serving Health and Beauty
Costs Nothing to Try

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 cleans
ing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
you take of it the better; 1t is not
drug at all, but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present
in the stomach and intestlnes and car
ries them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating
onions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and i'm
proves the complexion, 1t whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural
and eminently safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect III the stomach and bowels; 1t
dislnfects 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
antiseptic 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 VIII
soon tell in a much improved condition
of the general health, better COMPLEX
ion, sweeter breath and purer blood.
and the beauty of 1t is, that no possible
harm can result from th continued
use. but. on the contrary, great bene-
fit.
A Buffalo physician, in speaking OF
the benefits of charcoal, says; Il ad-
wise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges 10 all
patients suffering from gas In stomach
and bowels, and to clear the complex
ion 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 although In some
sense a patent preparation. yet be-
lieve | get more and better charcoal

there are still number of persons who
believe it genuine.
There are a number of mediums who
claim that power has been given them
by the spirits so they can resist heat
and fire. Goals, hot lamp chimneys and
burning matches are held in the palm.
Dissolve all the salt you can in tea
cup of water and in q second cup dis
solve tablespoonful of common soda in
warm water. Mix the two and dip the
hands in the solution and you can do
this trick without fear of injury!
Matter Through Matter
In spite of the fact that the workings
OF the mediums are frequently exposed
and the public informed just how the
tricks are performed there are actually
scme spiritualists who do not believe
there is any fraud in these manifesta-
tions. If fake slate writing Is given
them and they are shown how 1t is done
some of them will continue to insist
that ALI are not frauds, but that some
spiritualists really have the power to
confer with the spirits by means of
writing.
Blood writing is another matter which
has puzzled a number of those who
have been attending seances. rs This Is
an old trick. The medium obtains the
name of the subject before the seance
and takes an opportunity during the
evening to write 1t on his arm, short
distance above the wrist, with tooth
pick or sharp stick. The cuff is turned
down again until the proper time, when
1t is turned up. The arm is then rubbed
little and the name appears.
Evidently some medium in Los An
geles has been using the old trick Of
having matter pass through matter.
This Is a simple trick, and yet num-
ber of readers of The Herald appear to
have been astounded by 1t. The
medium possesses a solid iron ring. He
allows it to be examined by the aud
icnce and then hands it to a subject,
who holds it in his left hand. The
medium grasps the subjects right hand
with his left and the lights are turned
out. In an instant the ring is jerked
from the hand of the holder and when
the lights are again turned on it is
found encircling the subjects right
arm. AS this is the hand which has
been clasped with that of the medium
1t seems as if the spirits or some force
must have been at work. The explana-
ton is simple. The medium has a
duplicate iron ring concealed by his
ccat sleeve. AS soon as the light is out
he. snatches the ring from the subjects
hand and slips it into his pocket. He
tEen slips the ring from under his coat
sleeve onto the subjects right hand
and calls for lights. This Is an old trick,
but many persons seem never to see
through it, and point to it as wonder
full demonstration of the power of the
spirits in making matter pass through
matter.

M'GINNIS THE SP00K
+, THROWS TRUMPET AT
WHITE DOG PRESIDENT
Los Angeles, Nov. IA.

Spook Editor Los Angeles Herald:
Dear Sir-Evidently the correspondent
who signed himself ~. c." did not see
the write-up of John Henley in The
Herald few days ago.
Henley was exposed by the Anti
Faker society last year in the follow
ing manner: l attended one of Hen
ley's etherealizing and trumpet seances
and overheard a conversation between
Mrs. Henley and a woman. Mrs. Hem
ley was telling her of mine which
was located by White Dog, an Indian
in spirit life, who knew of the mine
when on earth. She also stated that
sometimes some of their subjects
would be advised by their spirit friends
to invest in the White Dog mine, and
under such circumstances the Henleys
would part with some or the STOCK.
Being disgusted with the coarse work
of the Henleys and the conversation
had heard, / brought the matter TO
the attention of the officers of the So
cietx and, of course, Henley was slated
as the next victim.
We sent to him young woman who
had money and wanted advice upon
a certain mine. Strange as II may
seem, the mine she asked about was
no good at ALL but she was told II
she would buy in the White Dog she
would become rich. Henley was presi-
dent and his wife treasurer. The young
woman wanted her brother to inyesti-
gate the matter, so made an engage
ment for Sunday morning. 1t looked
good to brother and he promised to
return the next morning and he and his
sister would each take $500 worth OF
stock. Henley was delighted and asked
them to attend the seance that even
ing. They did not wish 10 disappoint
John, so they attended with electric
flash lights. Brother told sister II the
spirit that put them wise to making
a fortune appeared. he, would grab 1t
and she must turn on the flash so they
could thank him for his kindness, but
Los Angeles herald., 1906-11-18

fortunately for John, Mr.. Spook did
not come close enough, so sister got
curious and when an Irish spirit of
the name of McGinnis was telling q
funny story in the trumpet sister
flashed the light. About that time it
seems Henley got curious, too, for the
flash light showed him holding the
trumpet, evidently trying to see Nc
Ginnis, who must have been mad at
John, as he had dropped it, and John
hollered that the spirit had thrown the
trumpet at him. This broke up the
meeting, and The Herald told all about
1t the next morning. Very truly yours,
y C. w. CARSON,
Secretary Anti-Faker society.

WHY DOESN'T THIS
WISE OWL MAKE
HIS OWN FORTUNE?

Los Angeles, Nov. IA.
Spook Editor The Herald:
Dear Sir-I have been advised by
Mr.. Henley, the "Tr mpet Medium"
to buy some valuable mining stock at
a very low price, and that, too, in a
real mine No deception about that.
Mr.. Henley's control says that this is
the best investment within a thousand
miles of Los Angeles. The stock is
sure to double in value within a few
weeks Now the question 1 want to
ask the Spook Editor is:--ought to
miss what is perhaps the greatest op-
portunity of my life? Mr.. Henley is
the greatest medium in Los Angeles.
This l read in a reputable paper of
this city, under the heading "The Wis
est Owl in Town" l cannot doubt Ms,
Henley's word. He has repeatedly said
he is the greatest medium alive. He
has never to my knowledge been caught
cheating anybody. Am L not right in
this? Please enlighten spiritualist.
b. L.
"controI" Is Sheer Greed
The heading you speak of, "The Wis
est owl in Town." is josh, but not
half so much so as Mr.. Henley's claim
that he is the greatest medium alive.
II Mr.. Henley believes what he said
about this mine, he would not be try
ing to sell stock in 1t, but would have
purchased it himself long ago and
thereby profited by the doubling values.
II he is such a wise OWL" as he
states he is in his advertisements, Mr..
Henley will buy this mine. You, say
Mr.. Henley's control says this is tlte
miles OF Los Angeles. Who and what
Is Mr.. Henley's control? TO the best
of my knowledge and belief his control
is his earnest yearning after the al-
mighty dollar. Take the advice OF
one who has no control but knows the
game-and keep your money.

Wicked Fraud Is Perpetrated
You have been grossly deceived
There has never been such a thing as
materializing spirits from any cabinet
by any. medium. 1t cannot be done.
We explained how this trick is per-
formed in The Herald a week ago.
Have you kissed what you thought
to be your baby at the cabinet? II
SO you have kissed the greasy knee OF
some wickedly cruel faker who has
acted the ghoul by playing upon your
emotion, your sorrow, your hope.
No more brutal trick could be con-
ceived than this one, which seems to
have been extensively practiced by the
unscrupulous female faker whom The
Herald exposed few weeks ago when
detectives unmasked her while she was
masquerading as a departed sister OF
a man who never had a sister.

tion of a broken-hearted mother2

is now practically completed. The tent has an easy seating capacity of 300 persons. Chaplain Dickson has spared neither pains or expense in making the tent a model of excellence for the convenience of soldiers. In one portion of the tent there are numerous writing tables elegantly furnished with writing materials and stationery, which was donated by several citizens Of Austin In the same compartment there are other tables stacked to over flowing with daily newspapers, period icals and magazines. all of which were kindly donated by the publishers through the untiring efforts of the chaplain. The officers of Post sam Houston. san Antonio. through proper authority, furnished over two hundred and fifty chairs to accommodate the multitudes that throng into the tent to hear the excellent music rendered by the Twenty sixth infantry band at their evening concerts. Large cans filled brim full of sterilized water are kept at several quarters of the tent At night the tent will be illuminated by several arc and incandescent lights attached to the city's wires. These lights will prove a great convenience to those desiring to read and write and for religious and pleasure IulcliOnS such as band concerts that are to be held under the large canvas. Three other bands give concerts each evening and the soldiers do not lack for plenty of good music.
 In several cases the mimic warfare has partaken of the actual and two deaths have resulted, one of which was reported at last writing. In a sham battle yesterday in which only blanks were supposed to be used. a number of steel jackets were shot Private Canter of K company, 26th infantry. U. $. A.. was shot in the breast by ''rcOchite" shot. He lived but a few hours.
 During the absence, yesterday of Major Lamson, who with Captain Parks of B company, spent the day in Austin, Captain Hayden of c company was placed in command of the bat talion. Today Lieutenants Miner and Stacey of company and Lieutenant Campbell of company are visitors in town.
 Major LamsOn has received an order relieving the Arizona and New Mex ican battalion from duty Saturday afternoon the 11th and camps will probably be broken that evening or early next morning.

CAMP MABRY EXISTENCE
 THE MILITARY ROUTINE
The Arizona Contingent Escaped a
 Nickname.

Camp Mabry. Texas, Aug. 9.-(Spe- cial Correspondence of The Republican. Residents of this territory may just lV feel proud of the record being made at the Maneuver Camp of Instruction, at this place Probably more cOmpli- mentary things have been said about the Arizona battalion by officers of the Regular army here, than about any other state organization. Not only do the officers speak in the highest terms of the appearance of the Arizona camp, but among the men. words of praise are heard on every side of the guards. The Arizona contingent is the only one not called by the regulars by some ficticiOus name-apprOpriate or other wise. The Texas guards are known as Long Horns" The New Mexican troops go as "The Mexicans," but the Arizonians are called nothing else.
 On the long daily hikes" the Ari- zona boys show up splendidly and the first case of where a member of the battalion played out and returned by ambulance is yet to be recorded while among the regulars and other guard organizations. such is daily occur rance. Today's hike took place from daylight until noon, instead of the afternoon as has been the custom heretofore; and the results thereof are best told in Major Lamson's report to
