Charcoal Removes
 Stomach PoisOns
Pure Charcoal Will Absorb One Hun dred Times Its Volume In
 Poisonous Gases.

Charcoal was made famous by the old monks of Spain, who cured all man. ner of stomach, liver, blood and bowel troubles by this simple remedy.
 One little nervous Frenchman held forth it's virtues before a famous con- vention of Europeon physicians and surgeons. Secheyron was his name. He was odd, quaint and very determined. His brothers in medicine laughed at his claims Thereupon he swallowed two grains of strychnine, enough to kill three men, and ate some charcoal. The doctors thought him mad, but he did not even have to go to bed. The charcoal killed the effects of the strychnine and Secheyron was famous. Every since that day physicians have used it. Run impure water through charcoal and you have a pure, delicious drink.
 Bad breath, gastritis, bowel gases, torpid liver, impure blood. etc, give way before the action of charcoal.
 If is really wonderful adjunct to nature and is most inexhaustible store house of health to the man or woman who suffers from gases or impurities of any kind.
 of pure willow charcoal, sweetened to a palatable state with honey
 Two or three of them cure an ordi- nary case of bad breath. They should be used after every meal, especially 1T one's breath is prone to be impure.
 These little lozenges have nothing to do with medicine. They are just sweet, fresh willow, burned to a nicety for charcoal making and fragrant honey, the product of the bee. Thus every ingredi- ent comes to man from the lap of na- ture.
 The only secret lies in the Stuart pro- cess of compressing these simple sub stances into hard tablet or lozenge, so that age, evaporation or decay may not assail their curative qualities
 You may take as many of them as you wish and the more you take the quicker will you remove the effects of bad breath and impurities arising from decayed or decaying meal. They assist digestion, purify the blood and help the intestines and bowels throw off all waste matter.
 Go to your druggist at once and buy a package of Stuart's Charcoal Log enges, price 25 cents. You will soon be told by your friends that your breath is not so bad as it was. Send us your name and address and we will send you a trial package by mall free. Address F. A. Stuart Co.,, 200 Stuart Bldg. Mar shall, Mich.

BANQUET GIVEN
 BY THE WOODMEN
PRESIDING ELDER J. S. GLASGOW
 IS PAINFULLY INJURED IN A
 PECULIAR ACCIDENT AT SAGI- REPRESENTATIVES, OFFICE BUSY.

Tuscaloosa, October 31.-(Special. )-The local camp of the Woodmen of the World, which nas been undergoing an unprece- dented revival for the past several weeks. gave an elegant banquet at Herman's s cafe on Thursday night. Among the prom inent visitors present were H. F. Simrall of Columbus, Miss, sovereign escort of the sovereign camp; L. D. Holloway, deputy sovereign commander of Alabama, of Florence; the Rev. J. V. Dickinson, state evangelist of the Baptist church, and others M T. Ormond of this city was the toastmaster. The Woodmen's band, an excellent aggregation of musi- clans, rendered some splendid musical se- lections during the evening. In all there were 125 members and guests seated at the festal board, and the occasion was one of the most brilliant in the history of the local camp.
 Presiding Elder J. Glasgow of the Tuscaloosa Methodist district happened to a peculiar and painful accident a few days ago which necessitates his walking on crutehes. MT. Glasgow was waiting for a train at Saginaw. Shelby county, and was walking near the track when pay train rushed by at high speed. Some thing on the train struck the mail crane at the station and hurled a piece of iron some 100 yards, which struck MT. Glas- gow on the leg, cutting the flesh to the bone. Though painful, the hurt is not considered serious.
 The sheriff's office was quite busy yes- terday in getting up the necessary matter for the several election boxes of the cOun- ty. The very large ticket takes up so much of the space that it was impossible to get all the matter in the boxes. Ac- cording to the ballot boxes and the size of the tickets to be placed therein, it will be quite impossible for the returning of ficers to get but a very few of the voted tickets in the hnX.

of Governor Sanford came a demand for a change in the handling of the state conviets. This developed into definite plan under Governor Jelks, who with the advice of Lieutenant Governor Cunning ham and others entirely changed the con- tract system in vogue up to that time. From a policy of hiring the eonvicts for so much per month, change was made to direct service plan in the mines by which the state was paid so much per ton for the amount of coal gotten out by the prisoners. The fact that under this plan the state earned in the second year of Governor Jelk's administration S225 000 net from the convict department indicated that the new arrangement was of decided advantage.
