The dancing Is gen eral. almost the entire company doing it's full share. most of the dances being the light and airy. step-eas sort, with somewhat of grotesqueness by the funny men and a world of grace by the chorus. The costuming was rich. pleasing and as diversified in charac- ter and color as the plumage of a my riad of song birds. There was noth- ing in the entertainment. costuming action or spoken line to which any could take offense, nor yet was 1t so conservatiYely conventional as to rob it of the joyous hilarity of a good, live ly. musical comedy performance with vaudeville decorations. The music ran all the way from catchy songs and choruses, to Indian songs and full dress musical numbers by J. Edward Pierce and Marie Roslyn. who sang both singly and together. Both have splendid voices and NIT. Pierce has a bass voice that one seldom hears the equal of. both as to register. volume and masterly control.

 The bladder. however. causes the old folks the most annoyance, especial ly at night and early morning.
 A noted authority in a recent article stated that he has wonderful success with the old-time vegetable treat ment. He states: "Of sixteen cases of bladder troubles and rheumatism which have been treated with this treatment only one very complicated tetSe Idiicu lO lNlllS Nltlu lO llS ItHldIh- able influence.

 February :, 1908. Dear Judge:
 I have received your letter of Jan uary 18th, stating that the Illinoisans living in Phoenix intended to celebrate the birthday of Abraham Lincoln and while I am glad to have this informa- tion l am not surprised. for there is no anniversary of an Americans birth that appeals to the sons of Illinois with more force than does this one of Lincoln.
 He was of the pioneer west, and at the same time was so Identified with the border states that he better than most men understood not only the abo- lition sentiment of the north but the race prejudice of the south, and when as president he stood face to face with that great conflict of civil war, he realized the import of the struggle and the necessity for keeping within reach of public sentiment, rather than att tempting to move on his own impulses, however high those might be.
 Lincoln's supreme effort was to save the union, and he was not swayed from that effort by those who insisted that other issues should predominate. It has always seemed to me that in that refusal to be swerved from the

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful 1t Is In
 Preserving Health and Beauty.
Cost Nothing to Try.

N a-ly everybody knows that char coal Is the safest and most efficient disinfectant and purifier in nature, but few realize it's value when taken into the human system for the same cleansing purpose.
 Charcoal is a remedy that the more you take of it the better; it is not a drug at all, but simply absorbs the gases and impurities always present in the stomach and intestines and car ries them out of the system.
 Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking, drinking or after eating on- ions and other odorous vegetables.
 Charc0al effectually clears and i'm proves the complexion. it whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and eminently safe cathartic.
 1t absorbs the injurious gases which colect in the stomach and bowels; 1t disinfects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh.
 All druggists sell charcoal in one form or another, but probably the best charcoal and the most for the money is in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they are composed of the finest powdered Willow Charcoal. and other harmless antiseptjcs in tablet form or rather in the form of large pleasant tasting loz- enges. the charcoal being mixed with honey.
 The daily use of these lozenges will som tell in a much Improved condi- ton of the general health, better com plexlon, sweeter breath and purer blood. and the beauty of it is that no possible harm can result from their continued use, but, on the contrary, great benefit.
 A Buffalo physician, in speaking of the benefits of charcoal. says: "I ad- wise Stuarts Charcoal Lozenges to all patients suffering from gas in stom- ach and bowels, and t0 clear the com plexion and purify the breath. mouth and throat; also believe the liver is greatly benefited by the daily use of them; they cost but twenty-five cents a box at drug stores, and although in some sense patent preparation, yet l believe I get more and better char ceal in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges than in any of the ordinary charcoal tablets"
