Stomach Gases
and Torpid LiVers
Give Way Before the Peculiar Purify
ing Power of Stuart's Char
coal Lozenges.
Trial sent Pree.


The foul gases of the stomach and the
torpid action Of the liver are easy victims
for charcoal to overcome.
This great natural cleanser and absorb
ent will most certainly be relished by a
system afflicted with gaseous or slug
gish tendencies.
Charcoal has long been known as a
great absorbent of gas. A painful of char
coal will positively purify a room filled
with foul odors and decay. Its absorbing
ratio Is one hundred times greater than
its own volume.
The aneients gave charcoal for many
human els successfully. The North
American Indians used 1t for snake bite,
poison from eating wild herbs and cured
what they called %.."stpmach bad medicine
with 81.
Willow charcoal seems to be the best
product for human use, and no doubt the
peculiar curative property of the willow
is Represented in a chemical quality in
its charcoal = Al
s~tuart's Charsbal Lozenges are pure
willow and sweet honey blended by tre-
mendous power and compressed into a
very palatable lozenge. Two or three
~lozenges eaten after meals viii prevent
the process Of digestion from producing
noxious gases. They will vivify a lazy
liver and aid every organ which Is most
likely to he overcome through Its con-
tact with impurities.
Il They cleanse the stomach and intes-
tines, bring purity and sweetness out of
fermentation and decay and aid digestion
by a~llaying gas. They will aid you and
your stomach. The beneficial effects are
made evident after each meal when you
use charcoal as stuart prepares 1t. To

terrible nauseating bad breath which de-

able.

LINCOLN. Nov. lS.-Cspecisl.)-Cop4es Of
the brief Of Ralph Breckenridge. attorney
for the express companies In Nebraska
have been received in Lincoln. The brief
contains 1s9 pages and goes into the earn
ings and expenses Of each of the express
companies doing business in the state in
detail, and has this paragraph as a con-
clusion: ,
There ought TO be both reason and Justice
In law. There is only prejudice. Ignorance
and injustic In the sibley act.
The brief opens with the following:
In Response TO a popular demand for
Legislation that should strike the common
bills were passed by the legislature of
1907 which put into words the opinion
then current in this state, that public serv-
Ice corporations were public enemies.
Among them Is senate file 1856. commonly
known Is the Sibley act, which exacts an
arbitrary cut I'm express rates and charges
OF 20 per cent with some few exceptions.
This act was conceived In ignorance or
the truth concerning the express business
and the operations Of the companies IN
this state, and was Graded in the preju-
dice which Is Indifferent to knowledge;
for, though there can be no Intelligent
legislation without knowledge OF the sub
ject matter, the Nebraska legislature did
not inquire whether, under the rates II
established, the express companies could
conduct their business at a profit or at a
loss.
The facts and figures to be considered
exhibit a surprising situation. The com-
panies had no chance. before the enact
ment of the hostile legislation, TO present
the showing now made.
The brief contains the following, showing
the earnings and expenses under the old
rates and under the rates in the Sibley act:

OLD RATES
SIBLDY RATES
KimbaII County Loses.

BY falling to sell their bonds to the state
the officials OF Klmball county have lost
'the taxpayers some 1914. Tn bonds
amounted to 5000, run for five years and
drew 6 per cent interest. The records show
the bonds were sold for a premium of
only 81.
Had the bonds been offered to Treasurer
Brian he would have taken them to net
the state ~ per cent, making a saving OF
IL per cent to the county OF Kimball, or
1876. Treasurer Brian said this morning
he had not been notified of the issue Of the
bonds or he would have been glad to secure
the investment for the school fund.
"when the proclamation Is issued deciar-
Ing that It is legal for the state to buy
school district bonds,' said Mr.. Brian, II
shall make a flat rate of ~ per cent to all
school districts. This will save the districts
from ] to III per cent interest and increase
the school apportionment fund " per cent.
Most of our securities now pay 4 per cent.
but 1 think 1t no more than right that the
school fund should profit by the adoption
of the amendment at least the " per cent,
especially when we are saving the school
districts at least 1 or III per cent.
1T am In favor OF making the flat rate
to every district so the taxpayers of every
district will know just what is being Of
ferIe ed for the bonds. In. most instances
school bonds will bear s or 6 per cent
interest. The state will be in a position
to take care Of all of these bonds.
Hard Time for Debaters.
The Omaha High school debating team
is going against a hard proposition when
it meets the Lincoln High school team
December IL. The Lincoln team is get
ting in first-class shape, and smu
as at least one and possibly two of it's
member are taking work at the state
university the team believes there is lit
tie doubt IT will win the decision. One
member of the team takes two studies
at the university and another member is
supposed TO take one, and this associa-
ton with older students It Is believed
will greatly help the Lincoln debaters.
