Stomach Gases ass
and Torpid Liver
Give Way Before the Peculiar
Purifying Power Of Stusrt's
Chacosl Lozenges.
A Trial Package Sent Free.

The foul gases of the stomach and
the torpid action of the liver are
easy victims for charcoal to over
come.
This great natural cleaner and alb
sorbent will most certainly be rel
ished by system afflicted with
gaseous or sluggish tendencies.
Charcoal has long been known as
a great absorbent of gas. "A painful
of charcoal will positively purify a
room filled with foul odors and de-
cay. Its absorbing ratio is one hun
dred times greater than its own
volume.
The ancients gave charcoal for
many human ills successfully. The
North American Indians used It for
snake bite, poison from eating wild
herbs and cured what they alled
stomach bad medicine with It.
Willow charcoal seems to be the
best product for human use, and no
doubt the peculiar curative property
of the willow is represented in a
chemical quality in its charcoal.
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges are pure
willow and sweet honey blended by
tremendous power and compression
into very palatable lozenge. Two
or three lozenges eaten attire meals
will prevent the process of digestion

they are excellent. and one arises in

To the careful hostess searching for
seasonable house decorations, the
vivid shades of autumn are eagerly
blended to beautify her home on So
cial occasions.
Probably no flower in al natures
garden lends itself mode effectively to
this purpose than the cnrysanthemum.
A half dozen of these great plumy
blossoms make quite a patch of color
against the sombre background OF
living room or parlor, where a like
number of roses or carnations would
scarcely sound festive note.
All the gamnut of shades, from
mauve Of exquisite delicacy to warm
toned reds, and brilliant orange, can
be found in the chrysanthemum sec
ton at the florists, SO that harmon
ious color schemes may be preserved
with the most rtying hangings. The
perfectly moulded blooms of frosty
whiteness contrasted with dull green
foliage are especially good in dining
rooms where snowy linen and the
CLINT of silver and cut glass enhance
the artistic value. Under the evening
lights the great shaggy yellow ones
stand out like bursts OF flame and no
room is dark when lit by the torch
of their beauty.
AT a recent function a tall crystal
bowl was filled with the white blooms
with stems of varied length. GUAM
titles of Southern smilax were massed
al the base Of the bowl and the cage
OF the table which held this tasty
centerpiece was heavily fringed with
smilax The effect must have been
pleasing to the most critical eye.

WANT TO RECOVER
BROWNS TOURING GAR
Prosecutor Says Edna Wallace Hopper will Have to Give
up 81, 500 Car Given Her by Broker Engagement
Present-Roossvelt Talks of His Hunt-Jnabe
to Find Letter to Bramley in Lied Trial.

New York Nov. 21.-The whole
question of engagements, how long
they should last, under what circum-
stances they should be prolonged at
all and even what constitutes an en-
gagement, together with many other
side issues, are now to be brought
before court of law for the first
time in New York county as a re-
suit of dispute between Edna Wal
lace Hopper, the comic opera star,
and the creditors of A. o. Brown, the
bankrupt broker, as to the alleged en-
gagement between the two and her
continued possession of what they
claims as Browns assets.
II was learned that Daniel p Hays,
counsel for Charles Il. Llttlcfield, re-
ceiver for the bankrupt firm of A. o.
Brown & Co. will next week begin suit
against Miss Hopper to recover
by Brown. She claims 1t was an
engagement gift, but the counsel for
the receiver claims that 1t was given
to her to prevent the creditors get
ting it..
Miss Hopper claims that she be-
came engaged to Brown last March,
and that at that time he gave her
the 1880 car. She says that she
also received an engagement ring at
the same time.
mo, We will not sue Miss Hopper
for the engagement ring" said Law
yer Hays today, but | can say the
question of the engagement will be
one of the most important at the
trial of our suit. We have Miss Hop
pers word for it that she is engaged
TO Mr.. Brown, but the length of such
an engagement is something we want
decided by the courts"

ed the presidents attention for a half
hour to his proposed African expedi-
ton and William Dudley FoulKe, for
mer United States civil service COM
missioner, brought up the old subject
of the civil service.
While Mr.. Akeley will not accom-
pany the president on his trip to AT
rica, two of the men who were with
him will be members of the party.
They are Edmund Heller, a noted
mammalogist, who has spent years in
Central America and Africa, studying
the species whose habitat the Roose-
welt party will VISIT and Il. j. Cum
ningham. The latter had charge OF
Mr.. Akeleyls "safari" or caravan and
will serve in like capacity for the
president.
In portions of the country through
which the Roosevelt "safari will
pass, at least fifty different species of
antelope abound, Mr.. Akeley says,
and as only one species is to be found
in the United States Mr.. Akeley be-
lieves that the president will secure
an excellent collection of these an
imals. He is equally confident that the
president will find lions, tigers, ele-
plants and other big game In suffi-
cient numbers to give hm an adven-
ture and a novel experience every day

ed thoroughly, but could find no trace
of another letter from Fred Lied
to NJ. f. Bramley," said William f.
Martin, secretary of the Cleveland
Trinidad Paving Co., when placed

Friday.
Martin insisted that search of the
Cleveland Trinidad Paving Co. files
failed to reveal the letter concerning
vacation plans which Lied declares he
wrote TO Bramley in the summer Of
1906, and which, he says, explains
subsequent letters now in evidence
against the 1ormer service director.
1t Is now believed that the case will
reach the jury before Tuesday or
"Wednesday of next week. There will
be no court today.
