THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful It Is In Preserving Health and Beauty.
Cost Nothina to Try.


 N arly 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 cleansing 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 car ries them out of the system.
 Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking, drinking or after eating on ions and other odorous vegetables.
 Charc al effectually clears and inn proves the complexion, it whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and eminently safe cathartic.
 It absorbs the injurious gases which collect in the stomach and bowels; 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 hOrey.
 The daily use of these lozenses will soon tell in a much improved condi- ton of the general health, better com plexion, sweeter breath and purer blood, and the bea-:.y of it is that no possible harm can result from their continued use, but, on the contrary, great benefit.
 A Buffalo physician, in speaking of the benefits of charcoal. says: "I ad- wise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges 10 all patients suffering from gas in stom- ach and bowels, and to clear the com p,exion and purify the breath, mouth and throat: I also believe the liver is greatly benefited by the daily use of them; they cost but twenty-five cents a box at drug stores, and although in some sense a patent preparation, yet l believe I get more and better char coal in Stuart's Charcoal LOzenges than in any of the ordinary charcoal tablets

 itiss Wholesale.

There are some people so big heart ed that they are impatient with the meager methods of kindness employed by others.
 Mir. James r. Ball, of Montgomery. City. Missouri, Is one. He enjoys the distinction of having adopted a whole family of nine children. the oldest ten years old. the youngest, twins of four weeks. Ball, who is an exprobate judge, was visiting their home in Cal ifornia when their mother died. and it became obvious at once that the fath- CT was not able to keep the home to- gether now that the wife had gone Balls decision was immediate. says The Delineator for February, telling the story.
 "Tr take 'em," he said. give 'em to me. I'll take 'em. My wife and I'll round 'em up nice and cozy."
 With this simple statement he as- stunned his ninefold duty.
 \ The problem of railroad fares back to Missouri next confronted him, but Ball is a man of resource and he at once telegraphed the president of the Southern Pacific railroad that he had to have the transportation for himself and the nine back to Missouri. And, sure enough. after some verification of facts, NIT. Ball and the nine received free passes back home
 They still live in Montgomery City, where Mir. Ball is practicing lawyer. Seven out of the nine children are still alive and living with him.

GIRLS DRESS 5ss7.

The need of the dainty yet protec- tive apron is an ever present one with the small girl and such pretty model as this is sure to find it's place. As Illustrated it is made of lawn with the bretelles of embroidery and the little yoke of tucking. It can, however. be treated in number of ways. as it is straight at the lower edge and con- sequently is well adapted to the hem stitched finish. while it also can be cut from flouncing and the bretelles can be made either of embroidery or the plain material trimmed. The little yoke, too, admits of variety, for it can be of plain material trimmed and fin ished with a little embroidery quite as we'll as of the tucking. Again, tho apron could be made from the pretty chanbrays and other inexpensive wash fabrics that are liked for harder us- age.
 The apron consists of the yoke. which Is cut in two portions. the apron

THE PENSION LAW.

There Is no change affecting the
existing pension law that will add
any of the new class to the rolls
The Constitutional amendment re-
Gently passed cannot become eff
fective until ratified by majority
vote of the people at the coming
October election. When this is
done, the legislature to convene
next June will have to provide by
appropriate legislation to put the
law Ia operation and to make ap-
preparations for 1910 This will
be the earliest date the law can 90
into effect. The proposed amend
ment strikes out the pauper clause
as to both widow and soldier, al
lowing a pension to all not worth
over 81 800, and to soldiers Wild
ows who married prior to Jan. /,
1870. The quarterly plan of pay
ment was repealed, and pensioners
will be paid hereafter IN lump
sum, as formerly.

LNvUGH OFIr.

Hon. Joseph n. Brown, the demo-
cratic nominee for governor of Georgia,
made timely remark in Vsldosta the
other day. In dispatch to the Savan-
nah News, Mr.. Brown is quoted as say
ing: ''The people are tired of political
agitation which engender needless i'll
feeling and strife"
The people of Georgia have certainly
had dose of political agitation and
strife during the past three years, and
we believe that Mr.. Brown Is right in
saying they are tired of it.
There are few newspapers and poll
ticians in the State whose chief end
seems to be political agitation and the
fomeu tation Of strife, and the result il
more mean politics than we have ever
had in the State before. Albany
