Beauty and
Bad Breath
Cannot Go Together No Matter How Z
Woman May Try to Make Them.

1t does not matter how beautiful Il
woman may be. If she is afflicted with
bad breath she will be stunned and
pitied by men and even women will
studiously avoid her
If any woman doubts this statement
let her make point of SIX ing a friend
in whom she may conflde a man friend
or relative. If 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 ar
Fiction.
Foul breath arouses in man disgust
and where this quality is brought into
play no amount of self denial or rea
soning can overcome the natural repug-
nance which comes to man when he is
in company with such woman.
What is true of bad brea I'll in woman
is not true in so great a degree in men
Women are looked upon as the fncar
nation of sweetness, breeding. virtue
and refinement. Foul brea tn win sick
en- a man so that he cannot feel for
such a woman a companfonship neces
sary to make him desire to be in her
company.
There is absolutely no occasion for
bad breath in either men or women
Charcoal, the strongest absorbent
known, when taken into the stomach
will prevent this repugnant tendency

Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges are sold
In tremendous quantities all over Amer

London, September 26.-The national
demonstration to protest against the Ii
censing bill to take place in Hyde park
tomorrow promises to eclipse all preced-

years have become such a prominent
feature in the political life of Great
Britain. No fewer than 200 special trains
from all parts of the United Kingdom will
empty their thousands into London
throughout the night and the organizers
of the demonstration expect that an army
fully 10000 strong will line up for the
march to the park. At the park there
probably will be as many more persons
in the capacity of spectators and there
will be 1875 speakers, including many mem

Witcheran.

One Of the cemeteries near Naples
has been the scene Of a crime that
shows a curious recrudescence of me-
diaeval superstition. A little girl was
buried there in July, 1905, and twelve
months later it was arranged to trans
fer the remains to niche in the little
mortuary chapel. At the exhumation
suspicion was aroused by the extraor-
dinarily light weight of the coffin,
which on being opened was found to
contain only the childs skull wrapped
in straw. Professors Antonelli and Fl
miami, who examined the head de-
clared that it had been ruthlessly torn
from the trunk soon after death. The
police Investigations have resulted In
the discovery that the girls body was
disinterred and the bones pulverized to
serve for the rites of necromancy and |
witchcraft, which are still so much in |
vogue among superstitious peasantry |
of that region.

CARLYLE In Italv.

In a recent number of Poesia, q
magazine published at Milan by the
poet SignOr F. T. Marinetti in the in
terest of the extreme impressionists of
Italy, there are printed two short
pieces of verse by Carlyle and his wife,
which the editor vouches for as "assO-
lutamente inediti." He does not state
how the manuscripts came into his
possession. The spelling Of these pieces
is quite amazing, but an italian COM
positor and neither Thomas nor Jane
W. Carlyle can be responsible for that.
The lady proves herself a better versi-
fer than the philosopher, who is rep
resented as singing:
Wath is man? A foolish baby;
Vainly strives and fights and fets,
Demanding all, deserving nothing
One small grave is what he gets.
The sentiment is perfectly Carlylese,
and "fets" is delightful. The poems
are turned into italian, which IS bet
ter than the original English, by Zalra
Vitale.-London Mail.
