going TO get you building twice as
high as ever promised you before,
said he, "and It will come next ses-
sion."
Taking up the farmers and labor un.
ions, Senator Gore discussed at length
their benefits and the good work ac-
complished by them, proving conclu-
sively their necessity and value, and
he then turned his attention to poll
tical questions.
Both parties have declared against
trusts said he, and the question il
therefore not political one and

With a similar preface, the speaker
dealt with campaign contributions, in

Beauty and

Woman May Try to Make Them,

woman Way Try 10 Wake IueEn'
II does not matter how beautiful a wo-
man may be. H. she is afflicted with bad
breath she will be Stunned and pitied by
men and even women will studiously avoid
her,
II any woman doubts this statement let
her make a point OF asking a friend in
whom she may confide, a man friend or
relative. II he be honest he will tell her
that foul breath from the mouth of a
woman will drive men from her more
rapidly than any other personal affliction.
Foul breath arouses in man disgust and
where this quality Is brought into play
no amount OF self-denial or reasoning can
overcome the natural ~repugnance which
comes to man when he is in company with
such a woman.
What Is true of bad breath in woman
Is not true in so great a degree In men.
Women are looked upon as the incarna-
ton Of sweetness. breeding, virtue and
refinement. Foul breath will sicken a
man so thai he canno feel for such a
woman a companionshlp necessary TO
make him desire to be in her company.
There is absolutely no occasion for bad
breath in either man or woman. Charcoal,
the strongest absorbant known, when
taken into the tomsch, will prevent this
tendency or affliction.
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges are sold in
tremendous quantities all over America
and Canada. They cure and have cured
all forms OF bad breath. A single box
will convince you OF this fact One should
eat some OF these lozenges after each
meal and upon retiring. You might at
