Teresino Spinello who asked for s10O for an assault commit ted by Antoinette Simonelli and her mother Maria must be content with nominal damages of $5 and costs which Justice Wilder taxed on the mother.

 the claim of George l.. Broadbin against John HyneS the noted horse man of Stamford. Broadbin claimed damages to the amount of S10O for fail ure on the part of HyneS to make jockey of the boy and to provide board and medical attendance.

Proof That
 Charcoal Will
 Absorb Impurities
Many People Are Not "From Missou. ri'' But They Like to Be Shown A Simple Yet Efectual Test
 
for Charcoal.

Frequently people like to know if an article will do all that is claimed of it, and we agree with these people for it is perfectly right that they should know. The F. A. Stuart Go. has gone to considerable expense to perfect some simple method by which it could be convincingly proven that the.r Charcoal LoZenges possessed all the medicinal qualities claimed of them and herein print a simple yet effective proof.
 Take anything which emits an oh- noxious odor and place it in some convenient place, say in box or something that can be easily covered. Then pulverize sufficient of Stuarts s Charcoal Lozenges to completely cov- CT the decaying or odiouS matter Care charcoal completely CT 'elops what ever the odor is coming from. It will be immediately noticed that there will be no odor; the charcoal will ab- sorb positively all the odor and should you make the test with a piece of meat or something that decays rap idly complete disintegratiOn will take place without the slightest traces Of an odor noticeable.
 This is proof positive that stuart $ Charcoal LOzenges will eliminate odorS and insure the user clean, sweet breath. While the general inn provement in the health and action of the stomach and bowels will be sufficient to convince the most skeptic.
 Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges are for sale everywhere, 25 cents a box, guar anteed to contain nothing but young willow wood charcoal and pure hon. ey; sample sent free upon request. Address F. A. Stuart Co.,, 200 Stuart Bldg. Marshall. Mich.
