''lncurabIt" Heart Disease
Soon Cured
BY the Great Specialist in Treating
Weak and Diseased Hearts, FRANK
LIN MILES, M. D., IL. B.
Who viii Send $3.50 Worth of Special
Treatment and New Book Free.

To demonstrate the remarkable cur
alive powers of his new and complete
Special Personal Treatments for heart
disease, short breath, pain in the side,
oppression in the chest, irregular
pulse, palpitation, smothering spells,
putting at the ankles or dropsy DR..
Miles will send, free, to every afflicted
person, $3.50 worth of treatment. The
worst cases soon relieved.
These treatments are the result of
thirty years extensive research and re-
markable success in treating various
ailments of the heart, stomach and
nerves, which often complicate each
case. So astonishing are the results
of his treatment that he does not hes
itate to offer all afflicted persons a
two. pound Trial Treatment free.
Certainly nothing could be more
generous. Few physicians have such
confidence in their treatments. There
! is no reason why all afflicted persons
should not avail themselves of this
liberal offer, as they may never have
such an opportunity again. Delays are
dangerous. No death comes more sud-
denly than that from heart disease.

Charcoal Lozenges
Powerful AbSorbentS
Offensive Breath and Stomach Gases
Can Not Exist When They Are Used.

Charcoal, by virtue of its porous ma
ture, takes up gases mechanically just
as a sponge takes up water. Its ca
pacity in this respect is in proportion
to the number and fineness of its pores.
Charcoal made from poplar oeech-
wood, vegetable ivory, cocoa-nut shells
and willow-wood, is a compact, heavy
substance. having metalhc iuster' tIe
pores being quite invisible.
Chemical tests of various kinds per-
formed bv expert chemists have re-
yealed the fact that charcoal made
from willow wood, is not only abso-
lutelv harmless but that it is by far
the most powerful absorbent of all
kinds of gases. Certain other woods,
mentioned above, are used by some
manufacturers in making charcoal, and
besides not being half as effective in
absorbing stomach gases. have also
been found to be positively harmful TO
the digestive system.
Willow wood charcoal is then, the
very best for the purpose of absorbing
excessive gas of the stomach, removing
intestinal hatus, and purifying foul
breath Charcoal to be effective against
gastric flatulence must be introduced
among the gases of the stomach in the
same state as when fresh from the
crucible The means of effecting TINS
is to compress them into soluble loz-
enges. so that after being dissolved IN
the mouth and swallowed. the char
coal is "set free" and at once begins
its work of oxidzing and absorbing
foul gases. and also. thru It's anti
septic properties, of purifying the en-
tire alimentary tract.
1t is definitely known that the abb
sorhent and clansing action of char
coal is protracted and continued
thru the intestinal system as we'll as
in the stomach, and it proves eene-
fetal there also.
In STUARTS CHARCOAL LoA-
ENGES we have a gas-absorbing rem
edv which readily takes precedent over
all others. The charcoal used in them
is the very best that can he obtained.
They are composed of the finest young
willow wood. converted into charcoal
by the special. carbonizing Stuart
Process. and before being com pressed
into LoZenges, the powdered charcoal
is rendered sweet and thoroughly
agreeable 10 the taste by being mixed
with pure honey, and the result Is a
product equally as palatable as candy
Stuart's Charcoal LoZenges have at
tanned a wide popularity among the
people, millions of boxes being sole
every year. They have. over and ovel
again proven their efficiency IS rapc

COOK SCORES FOES.

Hamilton, Mont, Oct. 29.-At the
conclusion of his lecture on the finding
of the north pole last night DR.. Fred-

troversy regarding his ascent of Mount
Mckinley. He said
Satisfied that the people of Montana

bitter attacks which have been made
upon me my attitude in this respect is
unchanged.

began this flank movement on the

were absolutely untrue. Still I nurse
no spirit of revenge or malice agains

McPursley, who is negro preacher,
was convicted of statutory offense
the maximum penalty of which is life

show that the offense was not an ag-
gravated one and that the offense APP
preached lewdness nearer than any

that the board of parole consider Nc

Towner's action yesterday in ordering
Leroy Ware back to the penitentary
after Ware had been paroled by the

warden of the state penitentiary in a

authority TO parole Ware because the

Taft in his Seattle speech went on
record as an advocate Of ship subsi-
dies.
Mr.. Taft is champion of every
other scheme to take from the pock-
cts of the many and put into the
pockets of the few.
Why, then, should he be willing
to give to some and be unwilling to
give to others?
He furnished excellent answer, ac-
cording to his philosophy, in these
sentences of his speech:
"Of. course, we are familiar with the
argument that this would be a contri
button to private companies out Of
the treasury of the United States
but we are contributing in various
ways on similar principles in effect
both by our protective tariff laws
by our river and harbor bill, and by
our reclamation sevice. We are put
ting money into the pockets of ship
owners. but we are giving them mean
with which they can compete, fol
reasonable profit only, with the
merchant marine of the world"

for the benefit of the few. He admits
it. More, he even admits that the
tariff tax is levied to benefit specia
