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 stomach gastritis, sluggish liver, etc.. when a lit- tie lozenge of charcoal will cleanse the stomach and make it pure and sweet.
 Do not drug yourself when a simple little natural charcoal made from fra grant 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 its own volume in gas A box full of charcoal placed in bed room will keep the air of such 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 scrubbing brush for the stomach. The old monks of medic val times cured bad cases of stomach trouble, cast out devils from the system of man by feeding such 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. Charcoal goes into the stomach gently and is welcome, it set ties down through the action of the stomach, and filters through all the food, absorbing gas. aiding digestion and giv- ing tone to the juices, so that when the food goes into the intestines. and there meets other digestive fluids, the charcoal holds the impurities and thus keeps them from the blood.
 Stuart'e Charcoal lozenges are made from pure willow. They are prepared fragrant by the use of honey and sweet ened 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 yourself of their merit.
 Several taken at bed time 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

Mammoth Footprint.

Tuscaloosa october 7.-(Speeial)-A stone bearing the imprint of a human foot of large size that was discovered near lock IA is causing considerable curiosity among the local paleontologists. The foot print is very distinct, the impression be- ing of a depth of about quarter of an inch. The stone was discovered in the bed of a small branch that flows into the river and was probably brought to light by the erosive effect of the stream. The footprint is well proportioned, its length measuring 16 inches and the width of corresponding size.

ASKS WHY HUMAN LIBERTY
is HELD so CHEAP TODAY

LOS ANGELES, May 14.-IEditor
Herald: Since The Herald seems dis
posed-in a manner and to a degree I'M
like any other paper in California-to
accord its correspondent some real free
dom of expression in its peoples Let
ter Box" 1 feel encouraged to breach
a subject long on my mind.
1 think, moreover, the present is per-
haps a more than usually favorable
juncture for some effort in the way OF
calling attention to the crying need for
more reasonable and humane admin
istration of our criminal law. We have
somehow got into a groove where all
sense of proportion in the awarding or
criminal sentences seems lost.
Well may our prisons be full, when
for first and second offenses unfortun-
ate men--aye. and youths-are sent up
and held for long years in trivial cases
where few weeks or months would be
quite adequate. Thus are human lives
ruined forever. The long sentence has
not even the recommendation of being
deterrent On the contrary, 1t weaves
into the very fiber of the prisoners ma
ture the prison habit" and thus in
sures his return for a further term
later on.
One would not like to imagine the real
object of our criminal law administra-
tion to be to keep in it's fullest opera
ton our criminal law machinery, rather
than to repress or diminish crime, but
certainly were that the actual intention
it would be hard to suggest a better
method for it's realization than that
now followed.
To rate human liberty SO cheap that
from three to ten more years can be
claimed as forfeit in expiation for some
offense involving trivial property loss,
and no vital injur~ to anyone, shows
distinct retrogression in the social con-
cept.
To give point to all this. allow me a
comparison The servants quarters of
the residence of a certain politician of
| worldwide fame were entered the other
dav by peddler. who stole two silver
spoons and a silk handkerchief. He
was sent up for two months-quite
enough, I think. But that was not
here. In California such an offense
would get the culprit from three to ten
years, which is absurdly disproportion-
ate and inhuman, VAL STONE.

OIL INDUSTRY
NJ OTHING illustrates the expansion |
~ and great growth and prosperity |
~ of California better than the oil |

NJ OTHING illustrates the expansion
and great growth and prosperity
~ of California better than the oil
industry and it's relation to other state
interests. A few years ago, when the
production of oil was considerably less
than it is now, oil was much more
talked about. Indeed it was almost
the topic of the day." Now so d.
verse have become the important in
dustrial and business interests of Cali
fornia that oil is thought of as one
of the great products, and not the pre-
dominant product. But the California
oil industry is vastly greater than it
was when more was being said about
it in print. New oil wells in old dis
tricts are being opened up every day,
and new districts are being created.
With the supply, the demand is in
creasing constantly. Oil brings better
prices than it has commanded for sew
eral years. and most encouraging re-
ports come from the oil districts, those
in the vicinity of McKittrick and the
big fields which are being extended
between Los Angeles and Santa Monica
in the Cahuenga valley, and the great
Whittier fields.

DECLARES CHAIN GANG is
DISGRACE TO LOS ANGELES

LOS ANGELES, May 15.--[Editor
Herald: @he whipping post and the
chain gang are abhorrent to advanced
human. If the chain gang caught the
ell-to-do offenders, as it does the So
cial outcast, it would at least have the
virtue of fair play; but it exists only
to put the brand of shame on those
who are least able to defend themselves,
and emphasizes the demarcation of the
classes, a thing that should not be. AS
a punitive agency it is failure; as
law it is an offense to decency.
If there is a tendency to a criminal
life in the friendless prisoner, the chain
gang develops it, and the people who
permit it to stand suffer in consequence.
Granted that worthless characters are
on the chain gang, will the degrading
association raise them up? If such
policy were pursued by all municipalt-
ties, shall we not always have such
men to deal with? They must live, ana
will be burden to some city. =.
The British treadmill is cruel, but II
is private and very effective. Why not
work these unfortunate men in private,
and give the outside work to men who
need and deserve it?
The tourist must admire our many
beauties, but he, also, must desplse our
degrading punitive methods. The chain
gang and whipping post may do for
Delaware, where the people do not
make the laws, but they are an offens-
i've archaism in sunny Los Angeles.
