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 dis
infectant and purifier in nature, but.
few realize its 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 absorhs 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 on
ions and other odOrOus vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and i'm
proves the complexion. il 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 char
coal and the most for the money is in
Stuarts Charcoal Lozenges: they are
composed of the finest powdered Willow
charcoal. and other harmless anrisen-
ties in tablet form or rather in the
form of large, pleasant tasting lozen-
ges. the charcoal being mixed with
honey.
The daily use of these lozenges will
soon tell in much improved condition
of the general health, better comnley-
ion. sweeter breath and purer blood
and the beauty of it is. that no nos
sible harm can result from their can
tinued use, but on the contrary. great
benefit.

the direct and simple way so familiar for
many years. He dwelt on the progress
that has been made in educa tional work
and the great national problems which
the young people must be fitted in tho
schools to meet, and made a plea for tho
following of the Golden Rule and for the
encouragement of the old fashioned,

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 1.-THE bet

which is to take place at Colma to-
morrow night, is now even money and
take your choice, but there has not
been enough money wagered to set
the price.
Each side is waiting for the other
to loosen up, but by tomorrow noon
the pool rooms expect to handle quite

Owing to the slam bang style of the

referee will have but little TO do out

chosen to referee the go.
The men are both in good shape
and at Fitzgerald's camp they cannot

BAKERSFIELD, Jan. ia severe
sandstorn from the southeast, which
started at 10 o'clock this morning and
increased in fury as the clay pro-

testants for the cup. j. Il. Terry s

Upton WILL CONTEND AGAIN
Sir Thomas May Bring 115=Foot Racer
Devoid of Freakish
Features

NEW YORK, Jan. 11.-Sir Thomas
Upton is making plans for another
campaign against the New York Yacht
club next year and the bone of con-
tention will be the Americas cup, for
which the popular Irish baronet already
has tried three times.
A letter received in this city from
Sir Thomas says he still has hopes of
capturing the famous trophy and is
considering plans for the building of
new challenger which he hopes to
have here some time in 1907.
Just what plans he is making now
he will not divulge, but he is pleased
to think that the next time he comes
he can bring good, wholesome type
of boat and will be met by one built
under certain restrictions that will bar
excessive overhangs and freakish
features.
1t is said on good authority that Sir
Thomas may bring over schooner and
that the new boat will be built up to
the limit of that type of yacht allowed
under the terms of deed of gift, which
is 115 feet on the water line.

here, but is touted as a fair boxer,

punishment that heavier man might
