THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful 1t Is In
Preserving Health and Beauty

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal
Is the safest and most efficient disinfeet-
ant 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 drug
at all. but simply absorbs the gases and
impurities always present in the stomach
and intestines 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, it whitens the teeth and
further acts as a natural and eminently
safe cathartic.
Tt absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; 1t
disinfects 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 Lozenges. they are
composed of the fineSs powdered Willow
in tablet form O., 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 a much improved condition
of the general health better complexion,
sweeter breath and purer blood. and the
beauty of it is, that no possible harm can
result from their continued use, but on
the contrary. great benefit.
Buffalo physician in speaking OF the
benefits of charcoal says: Il 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; 1 also be-
lieve the liver is greatly benefited by
the daily use of them; they cost but
twenty-f cents a box at drug stores,
and although in some sense a patent
preparation, yet I believe l get more and
better charcoal in Stuarts Charcoal Loz-
enges than in any of the ordinary char
coal tablets

is obedience to the dictates of sound
instinct The influence of environment is
now fully recognized, and we see why it
is fitting that kings should live in pal
aces-not to proclaim pomp and power
but in order that they may have large
and majestic thoughts. He who has the
means to live with good breathing space
about him owes it to himself and his
family to do So 1t is also noteworthy
that this inquiry for generous home
building room is confined almost entirely
to the city limits. The urban life, I'M
der modern conditions is the life which
yields the largest measure of enjoyment
and of development.
This tendency to seek homes within the
incorporated limits of the city Is by no
means confined to people of wealth. The
residence districts of Birmingham are now
more than holding their own with the
suburbs in the matter of building homes,
and henceforth they may be expected to
show a greater ratio of increase. We are
not referring to the North and South
Highlands. which have been steadily

Some Facts Worth Considering.
Vol. II

A great many people measure the
growth of a city solely by the multiplied
ton of its industries or the expansion of
its trade area. This is one way. to be
sure, and very good way. as far as it
goes; but in the final analysis the true
development of a city is best shown in
its home districts. Industry and trade
may be the stalk. but the homes are
the flowers, the soul of the stalk Hence,
to judge of a city accurately, we must
have some knowledge of the spirit of
its citizens as shown in their homes and
the surroundings of those homes
One of the strongest evidences that Biz
mingham is entering upon a new era in
her history is the demand on the part
of citizens of wealth and refinement for
larger spaces upon which to build their
homes. They are no longer content with
one lot or two, they are beginning to
ask for room enough in which to set
their homes properly. ground enough to
give full scope to the possibilities of
landscape gardening. This is not due to
desire to make display of wealth; it

The local real estate market is in ex-

sides number of transactions which
involved smaller amounts.
Yesterday the market again indicated
good conditions Notwithstanding the
fact that papers were filed in the probate
court for only four transactions which
involved amounts exceeding $1,000 a large
number of smaller deals were recorded.
The largest and most important trans

you choose, you will find new homes, neat

up in clusters. Even in what might be
called the sums, shacks and squalid cot
tages are disappearing before the advance
of modern sanitary residences. There
are several reasons for this impetus of
home-bulding within the city, but the
one of deepest significance is that the
workingman and the salary-earner has
learned that it is better to be close to
work, close to the best public schools
in the south, within cay reach of the fire
station and within sound of the football
of the policeman as he walks his beat
They are learning also that to live within
the city limits Is a saving of money In

have discovered that good building lots

CUBAN SITUATION
GETTING DISAGREEABLE.

Washington, Dec. 26.-Secy. Taft has
received advlces from Gov. Megoon at
Havana indicating that a more or less
unsettled condition OF affairs exists In
certain parts of Cuba and that In Santa
Clara province some lawless bands are
appearing and pillagng. Therefore at
the governors instance Gen. Bell has
ordered q considerable enforcement
OF the garrison OF American troops In
that province. For the first time since
the second occupation of the island by
the Americans IL has become necessary
for troops to undertake themselves the
suppression OF these disorders instead
OF leaving this task 10 the Cuban rural
guards which, in some quarters is re-
garded as an indication Of the inabili-
ty OF the Cuban civil authorities to
permanently maintain peace in the is
land.
Gen. Bell, in company with Gen.
Whit, who will succeed him Jan. /. In
command of the American troops In
Cuba, is now making tour OF the Is
land with special reference to the mill
tary necessities In case further disturb
