gases and stop foul odors of all kinds.
Charcoal will absorb one hundred
times it's own volume in gas. A box
full of charcoal placed in bed room
will keep the air of such room pure
and sweet
A little chacoal lozenge dissolved on
the tongue after meals will also keen
the stomach fresh and clean. Charcoal
is justly called the scrubbing brush
for the stomach. The old monks of
medieval times cured bad cases of
stomach trouble, cast out devils from
the system of man by feeding such a
man charcoal.
Scientific men Of today believe in
the great strength of charcoal for the
cure of human ills. Too much Of II
cannot harm one. The system Graves

Graves salt every SO often. Charcoal
goes into the stomach gently and is
welcome, it settles down through the
action of the stomach, and filters
through all the food, absorbing gas
aiding digestion and giving tone to the
juices, so that when the food goes into
the intestines, and there meets other
digestive fluids, the charcoal holds the
/ impurities and thus keeps them from
the blood.

made from pure willow. They are
prepared fragrant by the use of honey
and sweetened so they please the

The plans for the new Congre- gatiOnal house of worship are being drawn in detail and the specifications for the same are being made at Dallas. This work is being done from skele ton drafts made by local archi- tects. As soon as the plans are completed and returned here, arrangements for pushing work on the structure will begin.
 The building, as is generally known already, will occupy the corner at the intersection of Sixth street and State Line Ave nue, known as the Taylor prop erty The old Taylor residence has been moved to the rear or north part of the property and turned around so as to front on State Line, and will be rented or leased to a tenant. The chur oh structure will occnpy all the south portions of the property.
 The site lies well, is centrally located and admirably suited for a place of worship. The site is a beautiful one, and all the sur roundings are advantageous and attractive. .-TeXarkanian.

DIVER FIGHTS OCTOPUS
Attacked in Hold of Wreck By Devil Fish,
 Martin Lund's Life Is Threatened.

San Francisco, Sept. 28.- Wrapped in the tentacles of a giant devil fish, Martin Lund. a diver employed by the Coast Wrecking Company, fought for his life in the hold of the wreck. ed steamer Ramona, which is in 30 feet of water in Fort Ross cove, off Marion County coast. Lund arrived in this city yester- day.
 The devil fish had evidentl " entered the vessels hold during the night and Lund was at work some time before he became a : ware of it's presence. A giant tentacle, four inches in diameter first gripped one leg. Before Lund could realize what had hap- pened another had encircled his thigh.
 The diver began to chop fran. tlcally at the rubber like bands and at the same time signaled 10 the barge above that he wished to ascend. Unable to free him. self in time, two more tentacles squirmed out of the darkness and one twined about his neck.
 The efforts of the men on the surface to comply with his sig nal threatened to pull his helmet off and he was forced to signal them to desist.
 With only the left arm free, he hacked at the tentacles until the octopus was partially crippled but he was being drawn tow arc the deadly beak when he saw the outline of the Sevil hsh's body.
 Plunging suddenly toward it drove his knife with all his force into the head, repeating the blows until he had slashed the octopus into sections. In its death throes the fish frightened it's tentacles until the diver was almost crushed in it's embrace Lund then cut himself free and was brought to the surface in { fainting condition.
