THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful It is in
Preserving Health and Beauty.
Cost Nothing To Try.

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient
disinfectant and purifier in nature, but
few realize its value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans
ing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
you take of it the better; it is not a
drug at all. but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present in
the stomach and intestines and carries
them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating on
ions and other OdOrouS vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and I'M
proves the complexion, it whitens the
teeth and further acts as Il natural and
eminently safe cathartlc.
1t absorbs the injurious gases
which collect in the stomach and bow
els; 1t disinfects the mouth and throat
from the poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another, but probably the best
charcoal and the most for the money
is in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they
are composed of the finest powdered
Willow charcoal, and other harmless
antiseptics in tablet form or rather in
the form of large pleasant tasting loz-
enges. the charcoal being mixed with
honey.
The daily use of these lozenges will
soon tell in a much improved condition
of the general health, better complex
ion. sweeter breath and purer blood
and the beauty of it is that no posi-
BILE harm can result from their cOntin-
ued use, but on the contrary, great
benefit.
A Buffalo physician, in speaking OF
the benefits Of charcoal, says: Il ad
! wise Stuart'S Charcoal LoZengeS to all
patients suffering from gas i'll the
stomach and bowels, and to clear the
complexion and purify the breath
mouth and throat; | also believe the

ON RURAL ROUTES
Postmaster General Issues an
Order Prohibiting Its
Transportation.
ORDER is NOW EFFECTIVE.
EFFECT AND MEETS THE APP
PROVAL OF A LARGE NUMBER
OF PEOPLE.

If a man on a rural route wanted
half pint or Whereabouts of red
liquor" and asked his rural carrier to
bring it out for him, the latter. even
though willing, would not dare to &C
commodate him as the Department has
issued an order forbidding the carry
ing OF liquor.
Postmaster General Meyer has is
sued an order which has direct bear
ing upon the Prohibition movement.
The order is as follows:
1T is hereby ordered that it shall be
condition of any contract hereafter
entered into for carrying the mails
upon star, screen wagon, messenger
or special service route, that the con
tract carrier shall not transport intox
icating liquor from one point to anOth
er upon such route while in the per
Torrance of mail service"
The order will become effective al
once in many sections of the country
where it is necessary to install new
and supplementary service. 1t is be
lieved that this order will have fal
reaching effect and will meet the ap
prevail of a large number Of people
judging by the enormous number OF
complaints that have been sent to the
department.

tcring delegates will be chosen next
week. One of the districts in Okla
homa is scheduled to choose delegates
on the thirteenth. The Taft people, 1t
is understood will get those delegates.
Taft Eavcrite.
The Taft press bureau gave out a
statement today, saying it IS the Judg-
ment of President Roosevelt that VIII
liam II. Taft will be nominated Tor
President on the first ballot, The
president is quoted indirectly as say
ing that ne has made a careful inves-
tigation and is confident his candidate
will have at least 600 votes on the
first ballot. The convention, the press
bureau story says, will have nothing
to do except make the nomination un'
animously There is no doubt but
what the story was inspired at the
white house. About the time 1t was
given out the president asked the poll
teal referees in Alabama to meet him
here next Monday. He wants to find
out why one of them is not out for
Taft.

and Liabilities.

Widespread concern and commo-
ton in the community of Rocky Ford
and the surrounding country follow
cd the news OF the suspension of the
State Bank OF Rocky Ford last
Thursday morning, as was perfectly
natural result OF an event of such far
reaching effect. By Friday morning
the feeling in many quarters was in.
tense. Deposits had been received
up to the closing hour on Tuesday
night, and Wednesday, New Year
day. was bank holiday. The wild
est kind of reports went out regard
ing the disappearance of the officers
and the like, and no story was 100
improbable to find rcpcaters. Our
merchants had in many cases turned
in their holiday sales receipts. and
they were naturally on the anxious
bench about meeting impending bills.
A committee from among them was
informally appointed to wait upon
the bank officers for statement OF
the situation, and upon the State
Bank Examiner then in charge. From
him it was learned that a Receiver
would be appointed, and it was fur
ther learned that petition was al
ready in circulation for the appoint
ment of Col. Jas. A. Lockhart to that
position. This looked like snap ac..
ton on the part of somebody and
aroused suspicion and the next move
was committee named to go to the
district court and ask for delay in
naming Receiver until some sort OF
general agreement upon an appointee
could be made by the depositors.
This committee, headed by Judge H.
M. Minor went to Pueblo carly Sat
urday morning and succeeded in OBJ
tanning from the court a promise to
delay action until Monday morning.
A meeting of depositors was then
I called for a p. m. Saturday.

seemed to be taking premature steps
to get Col. Lockhart named by the
court for this position. The conf.
dence of the community in the intcg'
