Catarrh is not only dangerous, but
it causes bad breath, liberation. death
and decay of bones, loss of thinking
and reasoning power, kills ambition
and energy, often causes loss of appe-
tite, indigestion, dyspepsia, raw
throat and consumption. 1t needs at
tention at once. Cure it with Gauss
Catarrh Cure. 1t is a quick, radical,
permanent cure, because it ribs the
system of the poisonous germs that
cause catarrh.
In order to prove to all who are suf
fering from this dangerous and loath-
some disease that Gauss Catarrh
Cure will actually cure any case of ca
tarrh quickly, no matter how long

Charcoal Removes
Stomach Poisons
Pure Charcoal Will Absorb One Hun.
dred Times Its Volume In
Poisonous Gases.

Charcoal was made famous by the
old monks of Spain, who cured all
manner of stomach. liver, blood and
bowel troubles by this simple remedy.
One little nervous Frenchman held
forth it's virtues before a famous con-
vention of European physicians and
surgeons. SecheyrOn was his name.
He was odd, quaint and very deter
mined. His brothers in medicine
laughed at his claims. Thereupon he
swallowed two grains of strychnine,
enough to kill three men, and ate some
charcoal. The doctors thought him
mad, but he did not even have to go
to bed The charcoal killed the eff
fects of the strychnine and Secheyron
was famous. Ever since that day ply
sicians have used it. Run impure
water through charcoal and you have
a pure delicious drink.
Bad breath, gastritis, bowel gases.
torpid liver, impure blood, ETC.. give
way before the action of charcoal.
1t is really a wonderful adjunct to
nature and is a most inexhaustible
storehouse of health to the man or
woman who suffers from gases or i'm
purities of any kind.
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges are
made of pure willow charcoal. sweet
ened to palalable state with honey.
Two or three of them cure an ordi-
nary case of bad breath. They should
be used after every meal especially
if ones breath is prone to be impure.
These little lozenges have nothing
to do with medicine. They are just
sweet, fresh willow. burned to nicely
for charcoal making and fragrant
honey, the product of the bee. Thus
every ingredient comes to man from
the lap of nature.
The only secret lies in the Stuart
process of COMPRISING these simple
substances into a hard tablet or loz-
enge, so that age, evaporation or de-
cay may not assail their curative
qualities.
You may take as many of them as
you wish and the more you take the
quicker will you remove the effects of
bad breath and impurities arising from
decayed or decaying meal. They
assist digestion. purify the blood and
help the intestines and bowels throw
off all waste matter.
Go to your druggist at once and buy
a package of Stuart's Charcoal Loz-
enges, price 25 cents. You will soon
be told by your friends that your
breath is not SO bad as it was. Send
us your name and address and we
will send YOU a trial package by mail
free. Address f. A. Stuart Co., 200

state which was in 1883, and in a very
interesting way pointed out the growth
of the work in Indiana UP to the pres
ent day, showing that now it is a
fiourishing condition. To prove this
she pointed to the new building at In
dianapolis that will soon be complet-
ed, and the building at South Bend.
She also paid especial attention to the
convention that was held at Earlham
College in 1889, at which greetings
were received from several other state
associations that were in session. She
stated that this is the first time in the
history of the work that the work in
Indiana had become of real import
ance.
Previous to the address given by
Mrs. Mansfield, Miss Louise Porter, of
Earlham College, read very interest
ing paper on THE College Girl on Fur

by the large number of delegates pres

THE DOCTOR"
An Important Funetienary on Mer-

An Important Fupetionary on Mer.
chant Vessels 10 the Cook.
There is one functionary on mer-
chant vessels Of all kinds who has
very much more to do with the peace
and dignity" Of the floating common
wealth than shore folks usually imag-
inc. l refer to the cook. who Is some
times called the doctor" Why he is
given this cognomen is not altogether
plain, for his handiwork seldom has
any therapeutic value and in the past,
at least, has had much to do with
sending poor sailormen to a doctor, IL
not to Davy Jones' locker. In fact,
there was a time in nautical history
when the presiding genius Of the gal-
ley was in such bad repute that to
call a man "son of sea cook" was
a most opprobrious epithet and one
that would be emphatically resented.
In those days (and to some extent to-
day. the cook was covertly despised
by the occupants both of the forecastle
and the cabin, though the men for
rard" outwardly professed affection
for him and apparently were never so
happy as when they could wash his
clothes or do him various other favors,
with the hope Of getting sundry '1eav-
ms from the cabin table or being
granted such privileges as Hanging
out" in the galley when rough weather
at night made the watch on deck
grateful for such shelter. In other
ways it was found highly salutary to
t. 80 III
majesty, who frequently was more
powerful person in some respects than
the @'old man" himself. It is almost
needless to add that the more skilled
as a cook the cook was the more pro-
found was his influence both fore and
aft. But he wasn't often much in the
way of skill, all the same.-Shipping

LEGAL WORD SPECIALISTS.
Have to Know Exact Shade of Mean
ing In Words and Phrases.

"Some people seem to think that an
important legal document can be
drawn up by a lawyer in the time it
marked gray haired law clerk the
other day. ut takes time and the
most scSupulous care to get things
just rig& If lawyers were not care
full the Lord only knows where the
clients would land.
"Why, / know a man in one of the
great law Offices who Is a specialist in
the exact shade Of meaning Of each
word or phrase used in legal docu-
ment. Nothing goes out Of that office
without being submitted first to him
to pass upon. Sometimes he will give
a week to the study of but one short
but very important paper. theorizing
as to the possibilities of its meaning
being construed this way and that.
When he gets through with a docu-
ment, however, and has submitted ev-
cry word Of it to the acid test there is
practically no chance of its not being
exactly right, as to its verbiage at
least. In some cases, too, it is deemed
desirable by clients to becloud the
meaning Of a contract SO that there is
a loophole for it's being construed in
another way in the event of certain
contingencies occurring. That Is
where the services of an expert word
juggler are Indispensable.
1.-THE biggest case that I ever heard
of in this line was when one of the
great corporations wished to issue
some mortgage bonds against its prop
erty. A long contract had to be drawn.
and the wording on the back Of the
bond had to be decided upon. The
matter was so important that, after
the attorneys themselves had decided
on the forms to be used, it was turned
over to two Of these experts in YER
biage.
"They looked up the dictionary
meaning Of practically every word
used in the two documents and made
Before the papers were finished thirty
different drafts of each of the two
documents had been made, and there
was not a word used in the final form
of the papers that had not been con-
sidered carefully, not only as to it's
individual meaning, but also as to its
individual relation to the other words
of the phrase or sentence containing
1t. 1t is safe to say that these two
documents are never likely to be as
sailed successfully in a court of law
and that they mean exactly what the
corporation and I. it's counsel wished
them to mean."-New York Press.

ABOVE THE LAW.
Courts Have No Jurisdiction Over
Foreign Ambassadors.

Courts Have No Jurisdiction Over
Foreign Ambassadors.
The chief Of an embassy Is an au-
gust being and one who boasts some
remarkable privileges. 1t may be men.
toned to begin with that in the land
in which he is officiating an ambassa-
dor ranks Immediately after the
princes of the blood royal.
The ground on which an embassy
stands is in theory as well as in prac-
tice the territory of the nation to
which its principal occupant belongs.
Even if criminal were harbored in
an embassy the police could not enter
the premises without permission.
An ambassador is above the law Of
the country to which he is accredited.
The courts have no jurisdiction over
him, and, strangely enough. his sub
ordinates and even his domestic serv-
ants are also inviolate. The humblest
employee In the embassy II he COM
mitted a punishable offense could not
be arrested without the consent Of his
master, nor can an embassy Official ba

of all perhaps for their freedom from
the burden of taxation. They dis
burse not one penny in taxes, either
directly or indirectly. and. as for the
custom house, 1t is nonexistent so far
as they are concerned. No duty what.
ever is charged in respect Of wines.
cigars, cigarettes, ETC., that are con-
signed to them.
Again, their excellencies need not
bother about taxes unless they please.
That they do so is purely an act OF
grace on their part They are not le-
gally exempt from these tantalizing
demands on the purse, but II they de-
clined to meet them there would be no
means of enforcing Cassell's

said to be, that prayers were offered

that all these reports were without
foundation.

Republicans Gain Two Seats.

Washington, D. c.. Nov. THE re-
turns from congressional districts
throughout the country resulted in a
republican gain of twenty-one, as COM
pared with figures. Albert Douglas,
republican, was contrary to previous
advices, elected in the Eleventh Ohio
district, and Moses P. Kinkaid repub-
lican. who was reported as defeated in
the Sixth Nebraska district, also was
returned as elected. ...-.
The contest in the Fifth Nebraska
district is extremely close and it will
require the official count to determine
the result.
According to the reports already re-
ceived, the next house will consist of
173 democrats and 21S republicans.

Missouri for Taft,

ST. Louis, Mo-, Nov. 6.-Supplemen-
tary returns failed to disturb ma
terially Taft's lead of 4.235 votes in
Missouri. The state legislature seems
fixed at democratic majority of six
on joint ballot, although this is sub
ject to change.
What doubt now exists relates
mostly to the minor state Offices and
the constitutional amendments pro-
posed for adoption. Definite figures
are lacking on these matters and it is
impossible to predict the results.
