Other people notice your bad breath
where YOU would not notice il at all.
It is nauseating to other people to
stand before them aud while you arc
talking, give them whiff or two Of
your bad breath. Il usually comes
from food fermenting on your stom-
ach. Sometimes you have il in the
morning,-that awful sour. bilious. bad
breath. You can stop that at once by
swallowing one or two Stuart Char
coal Lozenges, the most powerful gas
and odor absorbers ever prepared
Sometimes your meals viii reveal
themselves in your breath to those
who talk with you. You've had
onions" or you've been eating cab
bage," and all of a sudden you belch

veals the reason for their use. Stuarts

meal. Just try it,
Charcoal does other wonderful
things. too. II carries away from

sorber

NEW YORK, oct 26.-In a death

Weiss, of 27S West 18th street. fought
from his bedroom to the basement Of
his home early to-day and fell ex-

weapon from the intruder and used il

acts as financial agent for an English

of the KnickerboclSer Trust Company
during the recent run and believes the
negro. who he says he recognized as a
former porter, saw him there.
Fight in the Dark
DR. Weiss was awakened by someone
at his bureau. He sprang out of bed
and seized the negro. They clinched
and went tumbling about the room, out
into the haal and down the steps. on
the first floor they fought desperately.
the negro using the razor constantly.
Then they rolled down another flight
into the basement. where Weiss grasped
the razor and slashed the burglar.
As the struggle stopped moment he
turned on the electric lights and says he
then recognized the negro. The burglar
then sprang at him. bowling him to the
floor snatching the razr from his hand
and escaped. The police found a trail
