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

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal ls the safest and most efficient dis
irfectant and purifier In nature, but Few
realize It's value when taken into the
human system for the same cleansing
purpose,
Charcoal il a remedy that the more
Won take OF 1: the better II is not a
drug at all, but simply absorhs the
gases and impurities always present In
the stomach and intcstines and carries
them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking drinking or after eating onions
and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and inn
proves the complexion, IL whttens the
teeth and further acts as a natural and
eminently safe cathartic.
1T absorbs the injurious gases which
collect IN the stomach and bowels; 1T
disinfects the mouth aud throat from
the poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in ono
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

lozengss. the charcoal being mixed with
honey.
The daily use of these lozenges will

and the beauty OF 1t is, that no possi-
bic harm can result from their con-
tlnued use but. on the contrary. great

Itself Upon Him for Reversal
OF Conviction of Schmitz.
TO BE TERRIBLE EXAMPLE
His Friends Charge That District At
torncy Broke Faith With Ex-
Political Boss.

San Francisco Jan. f0.-That the
prosecution in the bribery graft cases
will endeavor to revenge itself upon
Abraham Ruef for the reversal by the
appellate court of the conviction OF
FORMER Mayor schmitz on the charge OF
extortion and multiplying all the
extortion indictments against Schmitz
and Ruef, by refusing all immunity TO
the former political boss and by prose-
cutting him on enough of the 10o-odd
indictments returned against him to
insure in case of conviction what
would be practically a life sentence,
even though Ii were found necessary
10 drop all the other cases. was the
statement made to the Associated
Press tonight by a person closely iden-
titled with Ruef.
BAD FAITH CHARGED.
The prosecution was charged with
breaking faith with Ruef, and 1t was
asserted that the district attorneys Of

COLUMBIAN FISHERIES.
Vessels Wanted to Protect Them from
American Fishermen.

Victoria, b. c., Jan. 11.--In a report
to the Ottawa government, Capt. New
comb. of the fishery protection cruiser
Kestral asks that modern cruiser,
like the Canada, on the Atlantic coast,
With a speed of 20 to % knots and
two smaller boats of 10 knot speed be
commissioned as soon as possible to
protect the British Columbian fisheries.
He gives as reasons that the haiibut
grounds of British Columbia are be-
ing depleted by American fishermen,
and fishing vessels, which he says took
nearly 40.000,O00 pounds of halibut last
year from provincial waters. He says
that the American fishermen, clean their
catches in British Columbia harbors
and asks that fast motor launches be
supplied the officers to prevent this
practise.

the bribery-graft cases. Schmitz also
declined to make a statement today, but
It was announced tonight by one of
his attorneys that application for the
release of the former mayor OH bail

COUNSEL DISAGREE.
1t developed during the day that
counsel for Schmitz and Rucf and the
district attorneys Office disagreed ON
whether or not the Judgment of the
appellate court can be effective at once
or not until 20 days after the decision
was handed down. The defense main
tains that under a statute passed in
1905 a renittitur must be sent down by
the higher court forthwith. which, as
pointed out by the prosecution, Is In
direct conflict with the constitutional
provision that Judgment cannot go into
effect or a remittitur be sent down
until after 80 days. except with the con-
sent Of the people.
Another question over which there Is
q difference of opinion between the law
yers for the two sides Is whether or not
Schmitz's bond of $4,000 was exon
Grated when he was convicted. If held
by the court that 1t was not the for
mer mayor will only have to put UP an
additional bond for the bail upon the
nine prize-hght trust indictments re-
turned by the Oliver grand jury Just
before 1t was discharged last month.
| Some of the members of the prosecu-

II was also asserted that the prosacu-
ton will not ask the appellate court

The sponge bars lying along the

EAST INDIANS
IN THE TRANSVAAI,

1t is rather remarkable that In the
Transvall, both sides agree upon the
main point which interests white
population. The Transvaal Is deter
mined that only Asiatics who are en-
| titled by previous residence to be III
the colony shall cross the borders.
Mr.. Smmts has distance mandate
from the people 10 insist upon this
and nothing less than this. The
Transvaal has $4,000 Kaffirs to con-
troll. IL has thousands OF white peo-
Pile out of work. Therefore. it abso-
lutely refuses TO admit any more AS
iatics, whether they are British sub
jects or not, whether educated or un-
educated. II claims that charity must
begin at home, that what work there
Is going to be done must be saved
for the white people and not given TO
Asiatic strangers.
Mr.. Gandhi says ditto to this. But
when Il comes to arranging the
means by which further inflltration
of Asiatics shall be prevented, trouble
arises. Mr.. Gandhi will not accept
Mr.. SHUTS ideas. He denounces
them as Insulting to British subjects.
He condemns them as class legisla-
tlOn or the WORST IyDe-tne Color
type. He stands for the principle Of
the education test instead of the col
or test. even though In practice the
principle may not be worth much.
theoretically, academically, he Is
right; but the people of the Trans
vaal are not in the mood to discuss
theories. In the first place, they say
they must have protection at all
costs. In the second place, they de-
clare that the law OF the land must
be enforced. and that successful pas
sive resistance will have bad in
huence upon the native population.
SO the struggle goes on. Who will

Hog cholera has made IL appear
ance In the southern part of Linn

the disease, and 90 head were lost.
At present the plague Is ravaging the
