Bad Breath and
 Sour Stomach
Stopped at Once With Pure Willow Charcoal, the Greatest Gas
 Absorber Known.

There Is no necessity to suffer the humiliation. chagrin and discomfort of bad breath, biliousness, sour stom- ach, gastritis. sluggish liver. etc. when a little lozenge of charcoal will cleanse the stomach and make it pure and sweet.
 Do not drug yourself when a sim pie little natural charcoal made from fragrant willow branches. sweetened with honey, will add tone to your stomach, liver and intestines. rapidly absorb gases and stop foul odors of all kinds.
 Charcoal will absorb one hundred times it's own volume in gas. A box full of charcoal placed in a bed room will keep the air of such a room pure and sweet.
 A little charcoal lozenge dissolved on the tongue after meals will also keep the stomach fresh and clean. Charcoal is justly called the scrub ping brush for the stomach. The old monks of medieval times cured bad cases of stomach trouble cast out devils from the system of man by feeding such a man charcoal
 Scientific men of today believe in the great strength of charcoal for the cure of human ills. Too much of it cannot harm one. The system craves it just like an animal needs and craves salt every so often. Char coal goes into the stomach gently and is welcome, it settles down through the action of the stomach, and filters through all the food, ab- Sorbing gas, aiding digestion and giving tone to the juices, so that when the food goes into the intes- tines, and there meets other diges- tive fluids, the charcoal holds the impurities and thus keeps them from the blood.
 Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges are made from pure willow. They are prepared fragrant by the use of hon ey and sweetened so they please the taste and are easily dissolved.
 They have an enormous sale. thus stamping them with the approval of the public. Every druggist sells them, 25 cents per box. Go to your druggist today and buy a box then after your next meal take two or three of them and judge for your self of their merit
 Several taken at bedtime will prove to you in the morning that they have been at work all night. for your bad breath will not be so bad after all.

A Great Pessimist.

Pessimism is a transitory state Ol Aryan thought, but it is the normal condition of Hebrew thought. As Re nan observed, in the whole of the Bible there are only two bright and joyful books-the Song of Solomon and the Book of Ecclcsiastes." All the rest. especially the Prophets and the Book of Job" form one sublime and colossal cry of pain. Even to- day, after the lapse of many centu- ries. every Jew of genius is almost destined to convey bad tidings to men. for all the great Jewish thinkers have almost always brought to light some painful phenomenon of life. Thus Spinoza announced to mankind that good and evil do not exist; Marx. that society is the battle field of a desperate struggle between the so- cial classes; Jasalle, that, by the "brazen law" workmen, in spite of their most strenuous efforts, can nev- CT earn more than the minimum which is just sufficient to keep them from starvation.
 In this, Lombroso shares the com mon fate of his race. Not only has he affirmed that civilization augments crime and that man is fundamentally inclined to evil, but he has formu- lated the theory which is perhaps the most pessimistic one of the whole century-the theory which was des- tined to destroy the hero worship in troduced by Carlyle, and which has so mayn followers in England: l mean the theory that genius is a form of degeneracy.

How Mansfield Turned Opportunity L. Into Success.

When the part of Chevrial was given him. Mansfield was fascinated with his opportunity, but he kept his coun- sel He applied every resource of his ability to the composition of his per formance of the decrepit old rake. He sought specialists on the infirmities of houes, he studied specimens in clubs. on the avenue and in hospitals; and in the privacy of his own room he prac- tised makeu ups for the part every spare moment. The rehearsals themselves were sufficiently uneventful. He gave evidence of a careful workman like performance. but promise of nothing more.
 While he was working out the part Mansfield scarcely ate or slept. He had habit of dining with a group of young BOhemians at table d'hOte in Sixth avenue. The means of none of them made regularity at these forty cent banquets possible, so his absence was meaningless. One evening he

 His friends were accustomed to lofty talk from him. His prophecy was an swered with a light laugh. and it had passed out of their memories as they drifted into the night.
