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

Nearly everybody knows that, charcoal
is the safest and most efficient disiDfec-
tant and purifier in nature. but few real
ize its value when taken into the hu-
man system for the same cleansing pur-
pose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
you take of IL the better; il is not a drug
at all. but simply absorbs the gases and
impurities always present in the stom-
ach and intestines and carries them out
of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking. drinking or after eating onions
and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effecually clears and i'm
proves the complexion, it whitens the
eminently safe cathartic.
1t absOrbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; it
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one form
or another, but probably the best char
coal and the most for the money is in
Stuarts Charcoal Lozenges; they are
composed of the finest powdered willow
charcoal and other harmless antiseptics.

beauty of it is that no possible harm

M MEMORANDUM TO 0'BRIEN
AGREE TO AMERICAN SUCCESS
TioNS IN GENERAL.

Toxic, Feb. 1s.-The memorandum of
the Japanese government in reply to
that Of the United States on the sub
jeet. of emigration. mentioned yester-
day by the Associated Press, was hand
ed TO Ambassador O'Brien today.
1t is understood that it agrees in the
general terms with a number of sug-
gestions made by the American gov
eminent, and insures a further restric-
ton OF emigration. by the practical
prohibition of emigration OF laborers
The Japanese government points out
that the restrictions already enforced
including the closing of emigration to
Canada, Mexico and the Hawaiian ISL
ands. will make future complaints from
America almost impossible.
Powerful Opposition.
Every evidence goes to prove that the
japanese government has been unspar-
ing i'm its efforts TO avoid further COM
plications resulting from the emigra-
ton question, but the government is
facing a powerful opposition from the
emigration companies, who are behind
a proposed resolution in the diet to
censure the foreign policy of Viscount
Hayashi, minister of foreign affairs,
toward China, America and Canada.
Should the resolution be introduced
In the diet, it will probably be defeated
by narrow margin
Cabinet Would Resign.
Its passage would certainly entail the
resignation of the cabinet. Should the
cabinet be changed, the best informed
