THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful IL Is
I'm Preserving Health and Beauty.
Costs Nothing to Try.

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient
disinfectant and purifier in nature
hut few realize its value when taken
into the human system for the same
cleaning purpose.
Charcoal Is q remedy that the more
YOU take of It the better; II is not a
drug at all. but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities and carries
them out Of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath af-
ter smoking, drinking or after eating
onions and other odorous vegetables
Charcoal effectually clears and inn
proves the complexion. it whitens
the teeth and further acts as a nat
ural and emInently safe cathartic.
It absorbs the injurious gases
which collect in the stomach and
bowels; It disinfects the mouth and
throat from the poison Of catarrh
All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another. but probably the
best charcoal aud the most for the
money Is in Stuart's Charcoal Loz-
enges; they are composed of the fin
est powdered Willow charcoal. and
other harmless antiseptics in tablet
form or rather in the form OF large,
pleasant tasting lozenges, the char
coal being mixed with honey.
The daily use Of these lozenges will |
soon tell IN a much improved condi-
tion 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 con-
trary, great benefit.

"The Successful Man" was the subject
of an address by Rev. DIT Samuel II.

tiOn building yesterday afternoon.
DIR. Woodrow used the Biblical phrase.

for introducing his subject. and said il
young men live up to all the phrase inn
plies they viii be successful
"To be a man. said DR. Woodrow,
means more than being a perambulating
clotheshouse A man should be more
than the clothes he wears"
He contended tina; the man who COM
plains continuously Of the world owing
him a living which ne finds il impossible
to collect. is a man who is unable 70 profit
by the opportunities before him every
day of his life
Il should like TO take away from such
man." continued Dr. Woodrow. his

teachers. and his association with better
men. and his flesh. and take the small
particle which would be left of him in
the palm of my hand and blow il 10 the
Sahara Desert and tell him 10 find there
what the world owed him
The world owes man nothing. but
every man owes the world more than he
can ever pay"
The question OF whether or not men
are born equal was then discussed by
Dr. Woodrow In his opinion the man
born with great wealth cannot be said 10
be born on an equality with him born in
poverty. The same comparison was made

LECTURE BY HENRY L. CALL.
Concentration of Wealth the Subject
Discussed by Boston Savanf.

A lecture was given in Pythian Hall
last night by Mr.. Henry Laurens Can. of
Boston, Mass, on The Concentration of
Wealth" Mr.. Call is a member of the
American Association for the Advance
ment of Science He read a paper on this
same subject at Columbia College in De-
cember, 1906. Mr.. Call divided his sub
ject into seven parts. as follows: The de-
gree of wealth concentration in the United
States, the effect Of this wealth concen-
tration upon the body of industrial So
ciety; the process by which It has been
brought about; the causes leading thereto:
the economic doctrines responsible there
for; the logical and necessary remedy for
these conditions, and the nature and JUS
tice Of the remedy required. Mr.. Call
went into the subject very deeply. and
he showed that he is thoroughly familiar
with the subject on which he dwelt
