AN EXPLODED STOVE
 A NARROW ESCAPE
A Mysterious Agency of Destruction
 Wrought the Havoc.

An explosion of a coal range in the home of Louis Baswitz at the corner of Fourth and Taylor yesterday morn- ing caused considerable consternation and endangered the life of Mrs. Bas- witZ. who at the time was leaning over the stove. The range had not been heated up since last spring and there was probably some water in the pipes when the fire was started. At least very unusual accident.
 The fire had been burning about fifteen minutes, when a deafening sound was heard and the range flew into hundred pieces. Some of the pieces narrowly missed Mrs. Baswitz. Other parts of the stove struck the walls, tearing great holes in the plastering. some of which fell on Mrs. Baswitz. She was considerably bruis- ed but not seriously injured.
 Mir. BaswitZ was in an adjoining room and was more frightened than his wife. for he did not know what dire calamities had been visited upon them. Flames were started from the fire in the stove which was thrown over the room. and he at once sum- mOned the fire department, but most of the fire had been extinguished when it arrived. The chemical engine put a quietus on the other burning ma terials. Some clothing was destroy ed and the room slightly damaged. but the loss was but a small sum. MT.

Charcoal Kills
 Bad Breath
Bad Odor of Indigestion, Smoking, Drinking or Eating Can Be
 Instantly Stopped.
Sample Package Mailed Free.


 Other people notice your bad breath where you would not notice it at all. It is nauseating to other people to stand before them and while you are talking, give them a whiff or two of your bad breath. It usually comes from food fermenting on your stom- ach. Sometimes you have it in the morning-that awful, sour. bilious bad breath. You can stop that at once by swallowing one or two Stuart Charcoal Lozenges. the most powerful gas and odor absorbers ever prepared.
 Sometimes your meals will reveal themselves in your breath to those who talk with you. You've had on ions," or You've been eating cab- bage," and all of a sudden you belch in the face of your friend. Charcoal is a wonderful absorber of odors, as every one knows. That is why Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges are so quick to stop all gases and odors of odorous foods. or gas from indigestion
 Don't use breath perfumes. They never conceal the odor, and never ab- sorb the gas that causes the odor Besides, the very fact of using them reveals the reason for their use. Stuart's Charcoal LoZenges in the first place stop for good all sour brash and belching of gas, and make your breath pure, fresh and sweet, just after you've eaten. Then no one will turn his face away from you when you breathe or talk: your breath will be pure and fresh. and besides your food will taste so much better to you at your next meal. Just try 1t.
 Charcoal does other wonderful things, too. It carries away from your stomach and intestines, all the impurities there massed together and which causes the bad breath. Char coal is a purifier as well as an ab- sorber.
 Charcoal is now by far the best, most easy and mild laxative known. A whole boxful will do you no harm: In fact, the more you take the better. Stuart's Charcoal LoZenges are made of pure willow charcoal and mixed with just a faint flavor of honey to make them palatable for you, but not too sweet. You just chew them like candy. They are absolutely harmless.
 Get a new, pure, sweet breath. freshen your stomach for your next meal. and keep the intestines in good working order. These two things are the secret of good health and long life. You can get all the charcoal nec- essary to do these wonderful but sim pie things by getting Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges. We want you to test these little wonder workers your self before you buy them. So send us ypur full mama and oddress for free sample of Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges. Then after you have tried the sample. and been convinced, go to your druggist and get a 25c box of them. You'll feel better all over, more comfortable. and "cleaner" inside.
 Send us your name and address to- day and we will at once send you by mail sample package. free. Address F. A. Stuart Co, 200 Stuart Bldg. Marshall. Mich.

Tuesday, October 18th. is interesting all the local sports. There are more quail this year than there have been for over ten years. and there will be more shooters out Tuesday than were ever before seen here. The limit of twenty-five birds will be easily reached. Tuesday will be considered a holiday among the sports: many of those who find it hard work to get off that day are making arrange ments to be real sick: if that gets them excused from work they will have quail on toast Wednesday. Good shooting grounds are hard to name as the birds are plentiful everywhre north, east, south and west: some of the boys have birds located within four or five miles from town. The best shooting will be found a little farther out
 Duck shooting has been remarkably good on the coast this month, and has been good here. although large bags are not reported.
 Several deer have been seen with in ten miles of town. and there a num- Der of hunters out today looking for them: no deer have yet been brought into town; one is reported as having been killed in the mountains south of town last week.
 The Represito Duck Shooting club will open its house the last of this month. Water is now running in the reservoir and it is about half full George Morse will have charge of the clubhouse this winter. The clubs membership is full. members (guests) may accompany members, and pay s2.50 per day for the privi- leges of the club. the same as last year: but members and visitors must exhibit their cards to the keeper on arrival at the clubhouse The rules for the winter are posted at Pinney x Robinson's gun store.

Who knows how these institutions are
conducted? 1t is we'll known that scan
dals have cropped out now and then,
and it is the conviction of men who have
given the subject some investigation that
the whole system is wretched, and in
great need of thorough reformation.
This subject has been brought to the
attention OF the people OF Virginia time
and again By the State Board of Chari-
ties and by The Times Dispatch, and It
has been urged that a state board of
charities be established to visit all the
eleemosynary institutions, and report to
the Legislature or the Governor with
recommendation. But for some reason
the question has received scant atten-
ton from the Legislature and no action
thus far has been taken. 1t IS to be
hoped, therefore, that Alabama will lead
the way and set an example which yir-
GINA and other Southern States may
follow to their profit. 1t is bad enough
for men and women to be dependent
upon the public bounty; it is disgraceful
and barbarous to add cruelty to their
humiliation.

Thrift.

ness now offer a uniform interest rate
of 4 per cent. per annum on deposits. This
is wise movement for the community,
than any other section needs TO cult
vate that rugged virtue called thrift. We
produce so easily and in such abundance
that we have fallen into wasteful habits.
We throw away rs worthless that which
the New Englander turns TO profit, and if
the South had been anything like as thrift
ty as New England 1t would long ago
have surpassed that section in wealth.
We lave spoken Of thrift, as a virtue and
such it is IT is not merely matter
of accumulation, for it is the bounden
duty of every man to save, and wasteful-
ness is a sin, whether it be OF substance,
Of time, of talents or any other thing that
the Creator has bestowed Like many
other virtues thrift is a habit, and when
a good habit is once formed IT is as hard
to break as bad habit. The savings
banks are doing q work of grace, when
they promote thrift among the people.

Charity Work in Richmond.

Editor of The Times Dispatch:
Sir,-'rhe members of the Richmond City
Mission, at their regular meeting, held
on Monday. December 31st, expressed
their sorrow at the publications in the
issues of The Times Dispatch of Decem-
Der the goth and the 2lst, 1906, con-
corning conditions alleged to exist among
the poor in certain localities. They feel
that such public advertisement of GER
tain localities, and certain individuals,
is not only harmful, and sometimes pain
full to those spoken of, but 1t publishes
to the world a most unhappy condition
of affairs, which, even IL true, should be
remedied in some other way. The City
Mission is in perfect sympathy with
the Associated Charities in their effort
to better conditions in this city, and to
do 1t in u quiet and effective way. No
discussion is needed of the Morgan case.

in regard to conditions on Oregon Hill
