Charcoal Kills
Bad Breath
Whether From Decay in the Stomach
or Teeth, and Will Stop
Stomach Gases.
Willow Charcoal Best for Use.


Charcoal has been used for absorb
ing foul odors and ~neutralizing noxious
gases f0r centuries.
Dupont, the powder manufacturer,
learned that willow shoots two to three
years of age made the best charcoal.
1t is most porous.
Fetid breath, whether from stomach
or teeth, pyrosis Cor gastric pain), diar-
rhoea and constipation simply cannot
exist under the action of charcoal.
Charcoal oxidizes all cases., or, In
other words, changes foul smelling
odors into oxygen thereby doing away
with all foulness and rendering even
such gases beneficial to the system by
giving it more oxygen. The lungs puri-
fly the blood with oxygen from the air.
Dying patients have oxygen admins
tered to their system artificially and
i've for days under this treatment.
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges are made
from willow shoots and sweet honey.
Thus they are p~alatable, strong and
natural. No medicine Is used what
ever, but the peculiar Stuart process
gives them a decided charm and eff
cheney which endears them to all con-
sumers..
One may use them as M likes. Eat
ing one every once in awhile insures
pure breath, while the common method
is to eat W or three after meals and
at bed time. They work very fast and
their use is a most excellent habit to
form. In a short time you will learn
that their influence has improved bowel
action wonderfully: simply by giving
to the bowel q waste product to carry
off THAT has no gaseous formation to
kill and destroy ity nerves and MEM
branes.
Every druggist carries Stuarts' Char
coal Lozenges, price Is cents, or send
us your name and address and we will
send you a trial package by mail free.

To the Common Council of the City OF

Gentlemen; Your mayor recommends
as follows:
First That Section l of Chapter 38
be repealed.
Second. That an ordinance be passed
by this cornell re- establishing the mayor
as chief OF police; that the marshal and
assistant marshal be appointed by the
mayor and confirmed by majority vote
of the common council.

is that no mayor can enforce the city or

the council, that is hostile to the mayor
and refuses to cooperate with him.
Fourth. I make this recommend for
the benefit of the city of Edgerton and
my successor in Office.
Dated this 7th day of April, 1908.

Farm House Burns.

The farm house on the Mullowney
place near the railway crossing two
miles west of town burned to the ground
early Thursday morning last. The farm
was occupied by Geo. Thornton, ten
ant who got up early that morning,
started the kitchen fire and went out to
the marsh to look at some traps, leaving
the family still sleeping. When Mrs.
Thornton was awakened the entire
building was in flames. so she had barely
time to get the children out of the burn
ing building in their night clothes, and
nothing OF their personal effecss were
saved. 1t is believed the fire caught
from defective chimney. The loss is
about $1,000 and is partly covered by in
surance OF $500 ir the Town of Albion
Mutual company. The Thornton family
lost everything and subscription paper
has been circulated in the neighborhood
to partly recompence them for their loss.

srOUGHTON BANK CASHIER TAKES
HIS LIFE.

Stoughton was inexpressibly shocked
Wednesday morning when the news was
flashed around the town that Mr.. Mar
tin A. Johnson, cashier of the First Ma
tional bank, was dead at his home on
the northwest side and that he had
come to his death by his own hand. The
tidings were SO startling and seemingly
50 impossible that at first report many
people declined to believe it, But the
awful news proved only too true, and
the whole community is Swallowed in
deep sorrow because of it. Neither his
relatives nor his closest friends are able
to assign the slightest reason for Mr..
Johnson's act Of seIf-destruction. All is
mystery It is well known that since
the death of his wife few months ago,
he has at intervals been subject to at
also been observed by his associates that
the financial depression worked heavily
on his mind, but it is scarcely believed
by those who know him best that either
of these reasons prompted him to seek
relief in an act,so utterly desperate.

THE SPRING ELECTIONS.
LARGE VOTE POLLED. - INTEREST
CENTERED LARGELY IN THE
LICENSE QUESTION.
Result In the City and Surrounding Towns

Result In the City and Surrounding Towns.
The largest vote ever cast in the city
of Edgerton was recorded at the polls on
Tuesday last at the municipal election, a
total OF GIG being the number as against
SOP a year ago and 434 in 1906 The Wig
orous campaign which has been waged
by the anti-saloon forces for several
weeks past, spurred the saloon interests
to greater activity in getting out full
vote and the result is a fair indication
of the sentiment of the people of the city
upon this question. The surprising large
vote which those who wanted dry
town were able to muster which is by
all odds the strongest expression ever
yet developed-ought to be accepted by
the saloon keepers to mean that strict
er compliance with the laws must be OBJ
served IN the future or this privilege
will be denied them entirely at the next
election.
Except for aldermen there was no con-
test for city Offices and the peoples
choice seems to give promise that Mayor
Ellingson will have strong and efficient
help in the conduct of the city's bust
ness. That they will work in harmony
and be able to give a satisfactory admin
istration is our earnest belief To this
end they are entitled to the support and
encouragement of all good citizens.
The vote of Tuesday in detail is as
follows:
