A Pennsylvania is responsible for
the expression "sacrificial pollywogs,'
the meaning Of which is not exactly
clear. Many HOLSTERS swear "by gra.

the country. A Chicago man relieves

The Germans like to make remarks
about thunder and lightning when
they wish to be real naughty, the
Frenchmen take to little sayings about
a thousand cannons'' or some large
number Of ''thunders," and sailors are
credited with great oaths embodying
the great horn spoon" or a willing

ably the American who wishes to
swear without being profane finds as
many queer expressions as any one.-

his assistants out of that.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful It Is
Preserving Health and Beauty.
Cost Nothing TO Try.


Nearly everybody knows that
charcoal is the safest and most eff
cient disinfectant and purifier in ma
ture, but few realize its 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; 1t Is
not n drug at all, but simply alb
serbs the gases and impurities al
ways present in the stomach and In
testlnes and carries them out of the
system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking. drinking or after eating
onions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal enectuslly clears and i'm
proves the complexion, It whitens
the teeth and further acts as q nat
ural and eminently safe cathartic.
It absorbs the Injurious gases
which collect In the stomach and
bowels; It dlsinfects 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 Loz-
enges; they are composed Of the fin-
est powdered Willow charcoal, and
other harmless antiseptlcs in tablet
form or rather In the form OF large
pleasant tasting lozenges. the char.
coal being mixed with honey. e.
The daily use of these lozenges
will soon tell in n much improved
condition of the general health, bet
ter complexion. sweeter breath and
purer blood, and the beauty of II is.
that no possible harm can result from
their continued use, but, on the con-
trary, great benefit.
A Buffalo physician, in speaking
of the benefits OF charcoal, says: "T
advise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges
to all patients suffering from gas in
stomach and bowels, and TO clear the
complexion and purify the breath,
mouth and throat; I also believe the
liver is greatly benefited by the daily
use OF them; they cost but 20 cents
a box at drug stores, and although |
in some sense a patent preparation.
yet believe | get more and better
in Staurt's Charcoal Lozen-
ges than in any of the ordinary char
coal taglets."
