THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful It 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 cleans
ing 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 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 I'M
proves the complexion, it wh1tenss the
teeth and further acts as a natural and
eminently safe cathartic.
It 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
charcoal and the most for the money
is in Stuart $ Charcoal Lozenges; they
are composed of the finest powdered
Willow charcoal. and other harmless an
tiseptics in tablet form, or rather in
the form of large, pleasant tasting loz-
enges, the charcoal being mixed with
honey.
The daily use of these lozenges will
soon tell in much improved condition
Of the general health, better complex
ion, sweeter breath and purer blood,
and the beauty of it is that no pos
sible harm can result from their con-
tinued use, but, on the contrary, great
benefit.
"A Buffalo physician, in speaking Of
the benefits Of charcoal, says: 81 adj
wise kStuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all
patients suffering from gas in stomach
and bowels, and to clear the complex
ion and purify the breath, mouth and
" benefited by the daily use Of them;
they cost but twenty-five cents a box
at drugstores, and although in some
sense q patent preparation, yet I be-
lieve get more and better charcoal in
Stuart's Charcoal sLozenges than in any
Of the ordinary charcoal tablets.

BISHOP AND POET HIT
HARD At SOCIAL LIFE
Extravaganza Is Rife, Says
Bishop; Society Is Futile,
Says Poet.

London, March 10.-Mayfair is in
quite futter about two sweeping in
dictments which have been hurled
against society and it's manner of liv-
ing this week. One was by the bishop
of Birmingham, in a criticising state
ment on the extravaganza of modern
social life, and the other a condemna-
tion of modern civilization as 8 whole,
by Edward Carpenter, a poet and lee
turer at Trinity hall.
Why was it, asked Bishop Gore, that
the requirements Of income were so
very much smaller in Germany and
France than in England9
It was in very large measure be-
cause the English scale of expenditures
on entertainment was absurdly and
needlessly higher. There was no rea-
son why man should not have a din
ner with his friends without that
amount Of expenditure that was at
present considered necessary in high
circles on costly wines and other mat
tiers. This applied to the women as
much as to the men.
Eleven Meals Day.
The late Duchess of Rutland once al
legged that the men and women in a
Scotch town, where she was during the
schooling season, ate eleven meals a
day. 1t is, of course, notorious that
the chefs in several private houses to-
day receive salaries of $4,000, $4,000,
$1,000, and in one case $4,000, and
would think a dinner only for a work
house feast if its materials, including
fruit and wine, cost much less than
$l75 or 5000 for score of guests. One
Of the best young English peeresses,
whose husband has an income of
81 100000 a year, was so disguised
with the waste of rich food with which
she was confronted in the principal of
her new home that she dismissed the
chef and engaged a, woman cook for
1926 year, and she now declares that
she enjoys much better food for third
Of the former cost.
Most Futile Society.
Turning now to Mr.. Carriers in
dictment, which is preluded by an ap'
peal for simple life, he said:
''There has arisen a mass of the
most futile society that probably the
world has ever seen. do not say the
most wicked, or the most criminal, for
it has not sufficient spirit to be either;
but the most aimless, the most vulgar
and perhaps the most dull society the
world has ever seen, and this society
is founded on enormous human waste.''
Everyone is complaining Of the com
plexities of life, of worries and ankle
ties that overburden modern existence;
brain fevers abound, suicides are more
frequent than they have ever been be-
fore, the lunatic asylums are so full
that when our own time comes there
will be no room left. The blind habit
of acquisitiveness that obsesses hui
manity was Mr.. Carpenters explana
tion for the bewildering social whirl
pool.

FRANCIS JOSEPH MAY
ABANDON HIS THRONE
Hungarians Expect the Emperor
to Abdicate, Thus Precipi-
tating a Struggle.
Special Cable to The Journal.

Special Gable to The Journal.
Paris, March 10.-Leaders of the Hun
garian colony in Paris are Of the opin-
ion that Emperor Francis Joseph will
abdicate the throne before long. They
express the belief that the final strug-
gle between Austria and Hungary is at
last about to break forth, and that it
will be impossible longer to patch up
even temporary settlement between
the two nations. The Hungarian leaders
have long had their plans prepared for
the crisis when it arrives, and no time
will be lost in forming a provisional
government and taking over the control
Of Hungary.
1t is known that the venerable en-
peror was anxious to quit the throne
some four or five years ago, and only
reconsidered his decision at the earnest
entreaties of his family and ministers.
If, however, the present situation is
not by some compromise smoothed over,
Francis Joseph will quit his throne and
his country. Rumors have been current
this week. that agents of the Austrian
emperor have recently been visiting
Paris with a view to obtaining suitable
accommodation for him should it be-
come necessary for him to carry his de-
cision to resign his crown into effect.

Madrid, March 10.-Tho the Spanish

London, March 10.-London has now
got another underground tube, which
was opened to the public today, Water
loo station, on the south side Of the
river, being linked with the great rail
ways Of the west and of the north, and
when the line has been extended, as it
shortly will be, a little farther east, it
will give connection with twelve
other railway systems, by which it will
be possible to travel under cover to
within few hundred yards of any
point in London.
One Of the chief considerations in the
construction Of the new line has been
the avoidance of all possibility Of fire
or collision, and the former risk having
been practically obviated by the use as
far as possible of -infammable ma
terials both at the stations and on the
trains. By the use Of number of new
signaling appliances, the chances of
collision are rendered equally remote.
Up and down rails are laid in separate
tunnels, and the signals are worked au-
tomatically. The tunnels are white
washed and lighted, and the ventilation
is controlled by great fans. Excellent
stations have each their own color
scheme to identify them.

London, March l0.-Several leading
London physicians are now advocating
the use of a handkerchief made of pa
per. This is not only with the idea of
preventing the spread of consumption,
but of other diseases. It is argued
that linen handkerchief which is car
ried in the pocket and becomes heated
is necessarily a dissemination of sunde-
sirable germs and with the aid of the
laundries constant circulation of dead
ly organisms is kept up. ss,~. ~,. .
1t is customary to many English san
atoria to supply the patients with pa
per handkerchiefs, which after use are
placed in receptacles where they are
Immediately cremated. Most of these
handkerchiefs used in. these sanatoria
are Of Japanese make, as the English
made have not come into great favor
on account Of their being much harder
in texture than the Japanese.

CONGO FREE STATE
King of the Belgians Tires of
Criticism for His Conduct
Of Affairs.
journal Special Service.

Journal Special Service. So. ss...-
Berlin, March 10.-There is a quiet,
almost a secret discussion of the posi-
bility Of Emperor William inducing the
king of Belgium to part with the Congo
Free State. It is understood that the
king of Belgium has grown tired of the
criticism which has been heaped upon
him owing to his operations in the
Congo region. Tho no government on
the continent of Europe would ever
take notice of that sort Of thing it is
understood that King Leopold has been
hurt by the claim, recently so widely
circulated, to the effect that he is per-
sonally exploiting the Congo state for
the sole purpose of making money.
Those who claim to know assert that
the Belgian monarch far form exploit
ing the Congo basin has been out Of
pocket but he has been holding on to a
bad investment from motives Of per.
sonal and national pride. Now that he
finds that Congo state brings him only
trouble instead Of glory-he never ex-
pected money-he is anxious to dispose
Of it much as the great Napoleon sold
Louisiana territory to the United States.
Germany, in spite of the long and ex-
pensive war in Africa, is so bent upon
colonial expansion that it appears as
tho it might not be impossible for the
two governments to get together upon
a fair monetary basis. Or rather it
should be explained the matter lies
more with the Belgian king than with
the Belgian government, since the
Congo basin operations have always
been regarded as his personal perquisite,
and only in the event Of Belgian pride
being touched by the transaction could
situation arise which might result in
which the Belgian government would
intervene for the purpose Of putting a
stop to negotiations Of this kind.

"Perhaps the most interesting Of the

binary activity in club life and in or
CARNATIONS of every description, phil.
anthropic, social or educational.
"America, the combination Of SO
many races, has produced a woman
having something in common with. all
the races, and which still remains some
thing which can only be defined as
American.
"American men spend their money
on their wives and daughters, but with
the tacit understanding that their
wives and daughters shall ask no ques-
tions and above all offer no advice.
"The prospects Of art and literature
in America seem more than consider
able, the American painters working
out by degrees, style Of painting which
is as much American as Japanese art
is japanese.
In literature Americans seem to
be uninfuenced by English sentimen-
tality or French psychology. They do
not like the thinking parts of novels;
they want something to happen or
somebody to do something. In a slow,
determined, logged way, they seem to
be working out a national literature.

of Old Europe, in younger and more
energetic people relieving the past in

temperament of the past with all the
