THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful 1t 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 Il
drug at all. but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present
in the stomach and intestines and car
rias them out OF the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking. drinking or after eating on
ions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectualy clears and i'm
proves the complexion. it whitens the
teeth and further acts as natural ana
eminently safe cathartic.
1t absorbes 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 Stuarts 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 much improved condi-
ton of the general health. better COM
pleXion, sweeter breath and purer
blood. and the beauty 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: Il ad-
wise Stuart's Charcoal LoZenges to all
patients suffering from gas in stomach
and bowels, and to clear the complexion
and purify the breath. mouth and
throat; also believe the liver is great
ly benefited by the daily use of them;
they cost but twenty-five cents box
at drug stores, and altho in some sense
q patent preparation, yet l believe
get more and better Charcoal in
Stuart's Charcoal Lozengss than in
any Of the ordinary charcoal tablets"

Honorable Mention)

Presently they came in sight of their
party of friends and everybody cried
to them to sit quietly in the boat and
not to get excited because they would
be apt to tip it over.
The girls made the best of it by tell
ing jokes and keeping each other
laughing At times the boat would
float just as the girls liked to have 1t;
and at times it would bump into old
logs of trees that had floated out into
the river and by some root had gotten
tangled around a rock.
Two hours passed and the girls, still
seated in the boat, made the best OF
the time that had sped by. Mary had
evidently gotten very hungry while this
unpleasant ride was going on and ex.
claimed with an "Oh, I'm hungry!"
and as she did so she stretched her
arm way out as far as she could reach
toward a wild blackberry bush hang
ing a few yards over the bank. After
a few grabs in that direction she fin
ally succeeded in getting a few, just
about enough to replenish their hun
ger.
After again floating and padding
around in the river Jessie saw a man
walking along the shore in a thought
full mood. Jessie told Mary that she
saw the man and said, Let us call
for help"
The man looked in the direction the
sound came, but seeing the girls were
not in danger told them to wait till
he came back. In a few minutes time
he appeared with a rope and throwing
it out to the girls he pulled them in
with the help of another man nearby.
When they had landed, the girls
thanked the men very kindly and went
in search of the party they had left
behind a few hours before.

Remarkable Adventures OF Mary and Jessie in Boat
lFirst Prlzel

Then their brother Jack got another
boat and rowed to where they where.
They had drifted to a little island far
away.
Mary and Jessie got hungry, for they
were out in the boat for four hours.
They were so tired that they took
little nap on the sand.
There were twelve children and two
ladies with them.
After Mary and Jessie woke up they
all had their lunch together. They had
sandwiches, cake, pie, olives, chicken,
home made candy and roasted pea
nuts.
At o'clock they all went in bathing.
and they said that they had fine
time.
When it was half-past four they went
home, and Jack went with his two sis
ters. When they got home Mary told
their mother and father what they did
and what they had for dinner, and
their father told them they should have
waited for Jack and they should never
get in a boat again without any one
with them.
Mary and Jessie never forgot what
their father told them, and they never
got in a boat again themselves.

they started to sit down they no
ticed some blankets and hampers
in the other end of the boat, and
leaned over to examine them.
''Why, believe this is for the
picnic" )" exclaimed Mary, and Jes-
sic eagerly turned to look too.
Their motions started the boat
from the shore of the stream, and
it commenced to float slowly
along near the bank.
The girls were just wondering
what they should do when they
spied their brother Jack running
toward them with all his speed.
At the same time the boat was
caught by the current and began
to drift along more rapidly, and
they saw with terror that they
were being carried out into the
middle Of the stream. Presently
they came in sight of their party
of friends, and everybody cried to

Los Angeles herald., 1908-11-08

Presently they came in sight of their
party of friends and everybody cried
to them to throw out the small anchor,
which was in the bottom of the boat.
Mary at once did so. but, to her dis
may, the rope was not fastened, and
the loose end slipped through her fin
gers.
The party of friends now cried out
more directions, but the current had
carried the boat so far away that Mary
and Jessie could not understand what
they said.
The small river soon widened,
branched into a larger one, and this
emptied into the sea. Along the banks
of the river the girls saw few people,
but these paid no attention to them.
The girls had never seen the ocean be-
fore and when they fioated out on it
the large waves frightened them.
They had been in the boat day and
a night before they sighted ship.
Of course they had been on the river
only a few hours, and the greater part
of the day and night was spent on the
ocean, so they were now well out Of
sight of land.
Mary had read stories of people who
were lost at sea waving pieces of cloth
to attract the attention of boats, SO,
when they sighted the ship she at once
picked up a cover which lay in the boat
and began waving it over her head.
Both Mary and Jessie were delighted
at the outcome, for the steamer headed
for the. boat, and in less than half an
hour the girls were picked up. They
were put ashore at a small town and
put on a train bound for home. You
can we'll imagine their delight when
they reached home. After their well
come they told their story and said
that never again would they get in
a boat as long as they lived.
