The Value Of Charcoal.
FEW PEOPLE KNOW HOW USEFUL 1T IS IN
PRESERVING HEALTH AND BEAUTY.
COSTS NOTHING TO TRY.

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal IS the
safest and most efficient dislnfectant aud purifier
in nature but few realize its value when taken
into the human system for the same cleansing pur.
pose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more you take OF

absorbs the gases and impurities always present
in the stomach and intestlnes and carries them
out OF the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking

vegetables.
Charcoal efectualy clears and improves the
complexion. II whitens the teeth and further acts
as a natural and eminently safe cathartlc.
II absorbs the injurious gases which collect In
the stomach and bowels: II disinfects the mouth
and throat from the poison OF catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal In form or n

they are composed OF the finest powdered Willow
charcoal and other harmless aDtiseptics. IN tablet

be held in the Hotel Aston under the
auspices of the New York Chapter of the
Daughters of the Confederacy. In spite
of the fact that another generation has
grown up since tie death of the greatest
soldier of the confederacy. October r.
1870. the name of Gen. Robert E. Lee is
said to be held in higher esteem in the
southland today than during his lifetime.
Charles Francis Ad1Els of Massachusetts
says that when Lee was advised to retire to
the mountains near the close of the civil
war and to continue in guerrilla warfare,
he replied: The war has been decided
against Us; it is a part of wisdom to ac-
quiese in the result and of cindor to recog-
nize the fact" Later, when appeals were
made to him to flee the country and there
was a widespread movement in Virginia at
the end of the war to preserve the spirit
of the old state by migrating bodily to
some foreign country. the great spirit of
Lee again intetposed and his answer to
those who were leaders In the movement in
question was: The thought of abandoning
this country and all that must be left in 1t
is abhorrent to my feelings, and l prefer
to struggle for its restoration and to share
its fate rather than to give up all lost.
l cannot desert my native state in her hour
of adversely. l must abide her fortune and
share her fate
In the days Of the reconstruction of the
states the great soldier proved the sin
certify of his desire to help in the work of
rebuilding his beloved southland when he
accepted the presidency of Washington
Coilege at Lexington, Va, the institution
that is now known as Washington and Lee
University. He took charge of the col
lege in October 1855. just six months after
he had surrendered to Gen. Grant at APP
pomattox.
For Duty in Life.
At this time with the true ring of sin
cerity that the north silently applauded
he said: Il have led the young men of the
south to battle. have seen many of them
die on the field Now / shall devote my
remaining energy to training young men
to do their duty in life Each state should
take the most energetic mea sures to revive
the schools and colleges, and, If possible,
to increase the facilities for instruction
and to elevate the standard of learning"
Later when the chieftain was asked to
become the head of a large corporation his
answer was that his duty as he saw it
was to aid in the effort for the intellectual
uplifting of the southland and not for his
own personal ACKNOWLEDGMENT. When he
was spoken to on the subject he said, THE
thorough education of all classes of people
is the most efflcacious means in my opinion
for promoting the prosperity of the south"
AS the years follow one another the mem
DRY of Lee is still revered by the people of
a great country-by those who stood with
him upon the fields of Gettysburg, the
Wilderness and Antietam. and to whom his
memory will ever be fragrant as a gar
den of f1owers-by those who stood with
Grant at Cod Harbor and Shiloh, who ad-
mire him as the and military genius

least S,5OO,OO0 to erect and furnish build
ings for the care Of the INDECENT insane OF
the District which Is three times the amount
specified in the bill.
The estimates for the fiscal year 1908 In
cluded an item of 5000 for modification
building at the Washington Asylum for the
purpose of providing temporary care for
acute cases of insanity, SO that such per-
sons as recover within comparatively
short time may be returned to their homes
without having been committed insane
persons at all. 1t is proposed to provide for
inebriates at the same place.
Rate Not Unreasonable.
while the present cost of 500 per capita
per annum paid for the care of INDECENT
insane at the Government Hospital for the
Insane is a high rate, in view of the fact
that the District pays no part of the cost
and maintenance of the plant, 1t is belieyed
that the rate charged is not unreasonable.
Some economy might be effected by provid-
ing an institution where persons suffering
from senile dementia and other harmless
cases of more or less chronic nature
might be cared for at a less cost than that
charged at the Government Hospital for
the Insane. So soon other more urgent
needs have been provided for a hospital for
the purposes indicated should be erected.
The bill provides that INDECENT imbecile
and feeble minded children shall be cared
for at the proposed hospital. 1t is probable
that feeble minded children should be cared
for in an institution separated entirely from
hospital for the insane, In accordance
with the custom. in nearly all communities
of treating feeble-minded children in sep
arate specially equipped institutions. In
many important respects the administration
of such institutions is radically different
from that Of hospitals for the insane

Arlington House stands as a monument
to Gen. Lee. 1t was the home of his wife s
father, and when he came into possession
of the mansion he seemed to love the
place devotedly. Now it belongs to the
nation, and its green sward holds within
it's emerald bosom 1000 warriors who laid
down their lives at their country's shrine.
1t Is looked upon as a house of wealth and
slavery, which at last has become the Sc

KAIsER's CAMPAIGN SPEECH.
Appeal to Army Reserve Officers for
Government Parties.

BERLIN, January 19.-It is reported that
the Emperor William made an electoral
speech Thursday at a dinner, at which he
was entertained by 100 reserylst officers.
The speech is described as having been an
impassioned appeal to those present to do
their utmost to promote the success Of the
government parties in the election.
His majesty is represented as saying that
the new reichstag would be asked to pass
important new naval and military legisla-
ton, and that it was vitality necessary that
the House contain a patriotic majority. He
adjured his hearers to leave no stone un-
turned to achieve a magnificent victory.
1t is noteworthy that the speech was not
addressed TO officers on the active list, who
are not allowed to participate In politics
but to civilian officers of the landwehr, who

Story Of Resignation.
The story of the resignation of Lee from
the army Of his country is regarded as ever
Interesting. When the war clouds began
to gather in 1861 1t was question for Col.
Lee to decide whether he woud desert Vir-
ginia or the stars and stripes. Virginia had
not seeded, and it is believed that Gen. Lee
hoped that his mother state would never
take such action. But it was plain to his
mind that Virginia was his all in all and
the course she pursued that course was
his whether 1t entirely met his view or not
because 1t was the action of his people
When the time for action arrived he quiet
ly rendered his resignation from the army
to Gen. Scott, whom he had learned to love-
to the venerable and wel-loved superior
officer Gen. Lee was residing at Arlington
overlooking the capital city of his coun-
try. The letter was as follows:
darlington, April 90 1851
General Since my interview with you
on the 18th instant 1 have felt that / ought
no longer to retain my commission in the
army. l therefore tender my resignation
acceptance. 1t would have been presented
at once, but for the struggle 1t has cost
me to separate myself from service to
which l have devoted all the best years
of my life and all the ability I possess.
Save in the defense of my native state
never desire again to draw my sword

WORK FOR CONVICTS.

The thought often arises in the
minds of those who give attention
economic questions why it is con-
victs are not put to work on some
thing that will really benefit the pub
lie. In practically all penal institu-
lions the inmates are required to fuss
around with some little thing, and in
few their work is broadened by the
use of machinery. But the chipping
off of little rock occasionally and
the manufacture of few thousand
shoes do not represent a substantial
benefit to the public. In fact, prison
manufactures at times become a
menace by placing on the market ar
ticles that compete disastrously with
the products of labor on the outside.
1t is a difficult problem and 1t has
called forth the best thought of men
of ponderous minds and broad WIS.,
ions. Some of these have decided
that about the best use to which the
convicts can be put Is in road max
ing. That is irksome work Men
tackle it about as complaisantly as
they pay their poll tax.
The miserable roads, especially in
the west, where everything is COM
paratively new, demand attention,
but receive very little, and whatever
Is done must be paid for by the tax
