Sensible Democratic View.

Davenport Democrat: The result
of the election can be spelled in four
letters instead of five, and the name of
Mr.. Taft doomed so big in all the cleo
ton bulletins last niglt, that it is I'M
necessary to dwell at length on the
subject. The wires told the story with
in twenty minutes after the voting ma
chimes in New York ceased to click,
and within the half hour the papers
in the Empire state were issuing ex
tras which correctly declared the re-
suit. With New York in the Taft col
umn, tie only question left was as to
the size of the Republican majority
in the division of the electoral college
After the result was known, it is
safe to say that party differences pre-
vented but few from paying SYM
pathetic tribute to the Great Com
moner at Fairview, to whom the cleo
ton is the last of series of disap-
pointments of his cherished ambition
to direct the destinies of this nation
through presidential term That
Mr.. Bryan is thoroughly sincere, none
but those who are blinded by partisan
prejudice will question. That he has
been a powerful influence in favor of
national rectitude none will deny. He
truly said, in his concluding address
of the campaign, that whether it is
the peoples wish that / shall be their
spokesman in the White House, or
continue to perform the work which
| have tried to perform as private
citizen, | have not lived in vain Mr..
Bryan may never be President 1t is
1 doubted if he would make another
I campaign, were the nomination to be
1 again at his disposal four years hence
i But he is too forceful factor in
4 American public life to sink into OBJ
1 security, and political defeat does not
/ in his case mean disgrace.
The people have spoken. Evidently
they liked the Roosevelt policies vel
enough to want continuation O.
them. Mr.. Taft's hand is at the helm
: and he will have full scope, and the
loyal support of every good citizen
in guiding the ship of state through
the breakers for the coming fou
years.

Charcoal Removes
Stomach Poisons
Pure Charcoal Will Absorb One Hun
dred Times Its Volume in.
Poisonous Gases.

Charcoal was made fame US by the
old monks of Spain, who cured all
manner 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 European physicians and
surgeons. Secheyron was his name.
He was odd, quaint and very determ
med His brothers in medicine laugh
ed at his claims Thereupon he swal-
lowed 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 Sechey-
ron was famous. Ever since that day
physicians have used it. Run i'm
pure water through charcoal and you
have pure, delicious drink.
Bad breath, gastritis, bowel gases,
torpid liver, impure blood, ETC., give
way before the action of charcoal.
1t is really wonderful adjunct to
nature and is most ineXhaustible
storehouse of health to the man or
woman who suffers from gases or i'm
puri,ies of any kind.
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges are
made of pure willow charcoal, sweet
ened 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
If ones breath is prone to be impure.
These little lozenges have nothing
to do with medicine. They are just
sweet, fresh willow. burned to a nice
ty for charcoal making and fragrant
honey, the product of the bee. Thus
every ingredient comes to man from
the lap of nature.
The only secret lies in the Stuart
process of COMPRISING these simple
substances into a hard tablet or loz
enge, SO that age, evaporation or de
cay may not assail their curative
qualities.
You may take as many of them a
you wish and the more you take thu
quicker will you remove the effects o
bad breath and impurities arising from
