THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful 1t Is IN
Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that CHAR
coal is the safest and most eiflclent
disinfectant and purifier in nature, nu'
few realize it's value when taken INTO
the human system for the same cleans

Charcoal is remedy that the more
YOU take of it the better; it is not e
drug at all, but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present
in the stomach and intestines and car

Charcoal sweetens the breath AFTER
smoking, drinking or after eating on
ions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and I'M

teeth and further acts as natural ana
eminently safe catlartic.
It absorbes the injurious gases Whlch
collect in the stomach and bowels; II
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison Of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another, but probably the pest
charcoal and the most for the money
is in Stuarts Charcoal Lozenges; they
are composed of the finest powdered

Des Moines, Jam 1S.-A garter with a
pretty silk ribbon and frat engraved
buckle is said to have been the cause
Of the assault which Carl Lane Glenn
ems of Snohomish, Wash, made yes
terday on r. II. Dosh of Stuart, in the
state house The garter was given by
Dosh to Mrs. Clemens twelve or fifteen
years ago, according to old friends and
classmates of the two. while they were
students at Simpson College, Indian
ola.
Neither man had ever met the other
before when they met by accident on
business yesterday in the attorney
generals office. Clemens heard Dosh
give his name to the clerk, asked him
his initials, invited him out into the
corridor and knocked him down. Then
the two men walked out into the street
where Clemens knocked him down
AGAIN, Dosh's head hitting the side
walk with such force that he is still
in the Methodist hospital in a critical
condition.
Both men are lawyers about 30 years
of age, and Clemens was formerly q
foot ball player and coach at Leland
Stanford Jr. University. and is well
known on the Pacific coast.
Dosh Is said to have given the gar
ter to Mrs. Clemens at Simpson Col
lege, years before Clemens met her on
the Pacific coast, where she was visit
ing friends. He has never liked the
donor of the garter and has been in
sanely jealous of Dosh. Mrs. Glenn
ems and Dosh have not met for years
neither have they correspondent. bu'
this seems to have made no difference
to Clemens. He is said to have brood
ed over the garter and its frat buckle
with the engraved initials, and moth
ing that Mrs. Clemens could say OF
| reason dictate would cool his anger
| So when Clemens met Dosh at the
capitol Wednesday and asked him
How about that garter?" nothing thai
Dosh could say would clear up the
| matter.

Heart toHeart
Talks.
A FROwN AND A SMILE.
By EDWIN A. NYE.
Copyright. 1908. by Edwin A. Nye.

Once upon time, so the story goes.
a man had a vicious thought in his
heart, and it showed In his face. His
desire.
Other men looked on the forbidding
face and passed on. Some there were
who answered to the frown and passed
it on to others. And the way was
weary and dark for some that day.
On the same day little child, wax
ing from a pleasant dream, looked up
into its mothers face and smiled On
the mothers face came an answering
smile
The smile on the mothers face was
of the kind that would not come off.
And when she said goodby to the
father of the child on the morning of
that day the smile passed on to the
fathers face. And the man wore the
smile to his work. Like a lighted
candle inside a vase, 1t lightened the
face of the man.
On the same day in the heart of a
man lay a desperate deed. He saw
the fathers shining face. The man
wavered 'twixt the good and evil
thought and was saved from his des-
peration. Another, weary of the strug-
gle and on the verge of failing, looked
at the illumined face and hope grew
again in his soul.
A child crying In the streets looked
up through its tears to the radiant face
Of the man and ceased to weep.
A young girl, friendless and torn by
a pitiful strife between degradation
and starvation, looked on the face of
the strong man with the smiling face
and somehow found in her inmost soul
the strength to resist temptation and
despair.
And each Of these - the desperate
man, the weary soul, the crying child
the despairing girl - knew somehow
the power of that smile.
Others, more prosperous, less tempt.
ed, saw the fathers smile and passed
it on, and on that day men and wo
men and children were saved from
sadness and from the snare OF the
tempter.
So the story runs
And 1t is told that on that day the
little child who in the morning smiled
into the mothers face met pain and
sorrow, and the smile was replaced
with many tears. And the light or
the mothers face faded into fear Ant
the father had many cares that day.
But the smile Travelled on.
The frown, having done its worst
died out.
The smile travelled on.
