Charcoal Purifies
 Any Breath
And In It's Purest Form Has Long Been Known As the
 Greatest Gas AbsOrber.

Pure willow charcoal will oxidize al most any odor and render it sweet and pure. A painful in a foul cellar will absorb deadly fumes, for charcoal ab- sorbS one hundred times it's volume in gas.
 The ancients knew the value of char coal and administered it in cases of illness. especially pertaining to the stomach. In England today charcoal poultices are used for ulcers. boils, etc, while some physicians in Europe claim to cure many skin diseases by covering the afflicted skin with charcoal pow der.
 Stuart's Charcoal LOzenges go into the mouth and transfer foul odors at cnce into oxygen, absorb nOxious gases and acids and when swallowed mix with the digestive juices and stop gas making, fermentation and decay.
 By their gentle qualities they control beneficially bowel action and stop Giarrhoea and constipation.
 Bad breath simply cannot exist when charcoal is used. There are no ifs or ands about this statement. Don't take our word for it, but look into the matter yourself. Ask your druggist or physician, or better still. look up charcoal in your encyclopedia. The beauty of Stuart's Charcoal LOzenges is that the highest pharmaceutical ex- part knowledge obtaina;ble has been used to prepare a loZenge that will give to man the best form of charcoal for use.
 Pure willow and honey is the result. Two or three after meals and at bed time sweeten the breath, stop decay of teeth. aid the digestive apparatus and promote perfect bowel action. They enrich the supply of axygen to the sys- tenn and thereby revivify the blood and nerves.
 Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges are sold everywhere in vast quantities, thus they must have merit. Every drug gist carries them, price, twenty-five cents per box, or send us your name and address and we will send you a trial package by mail, free. Address F. A. Stuart Co.,, 200 Stuart Bldg, Mich.

THOSE If "BOLTERS."

The fact that IA Republican repre- sentatives voted for MT. Hill for Sen- ator. instead of obeying the caucus mandate to support Brandegee, is at tracting some attention. They are referred to as ''bolters'' and as hav- ing violated party ethics and party discipline" It is a fact that, after having attended the cancus and with out having voted against making the Brnasdees nomination unanimous, they voted for MT. Hill in the House. They did violate party discipline which re- qufres all participants in caucus to support its nnaI action.
 Politically, their action was wrong, but was 1t morally wrong? Each rep resentAtAve Is supposed to represent hie constituents, which he cannot do if Rso obeys the mandate of a caucus; q majority fin which takes action op- posed to the wishes of his constituent cy. Which shall he obey, the caucus or those who elected him?
 Again, as representative, he is still under the obligations of the electors oath which binds him to exercise his best Judgment without fear or favor of any man. The caucus cannot and does not absolve him from this oath.
 Suppose a representative whose con- stituents rnanifestly desire a certain thing and whose own judgment agrees with their wish, is confronted by caucus decision of his, party in direct opposition to his constituents desire and his own judgment-what is he to do?
 If his morality is of the old-fashion- ed. rigid type. he will do as the IA "bolters'' did-that is, carry out the wish of his constituents and obey the dictate of his own conscience; if his conscience is Of the modern and elas- tic type, he will obey the caucus.
 It may be said that this is an argu- ment against the caucus system, and so it is-the system is carried too far in these days. In effect, it is the much denounced "unit rule'' which stiles individual judgment.

STOCK MARKET SLUGGLISH
Especial to Farmer.


 New York, Jan. 23.--At the end of the week the price of stocks, figured on an average, was practically un- changed. Fluctuations for trading days were narrow and moved sluggishly up and down, until near the end when there was spurt due to several caus- es. One was the declaration of the regular dividend on Amalgamated; an other was the optimistic interview is sued by James J. Hill and the third was a semi official statement that the Public Service Commission would per- init the Erie to issue the $50, 1000, 900 of bonds, the proceeds from which are necessary to keep the road out of the hands of receiver. These three things resulted in traders overlooking several matters of importance. One is the annual report of Amalgamated to be issued soon which, will be one of the poorest in a long time. Another is that the accumulation of copper met al is greater now than at any time ing the consumption and the price of metal has ben declining both here and abroad. In the face of this, the pool, on the declaration of the usual cop per dividend advanced prices of copper stocks sharply.
 Not only is the copper trade dull and weak, but there has been a falling off II. agitation. Yet the steel shares have shown more strength in the last two or three days than for some weeks. This is due to the fact that the re- port for the last quarter of 1908 will be issued in a few days. This report will be a good one and will cause those interested in speculation to over look the fact there has been a falling off in business since the first of the year.
 The Japanese scare had little effect in the financial district. The people of the East feel that a method will be found to prevent one state from jeopardizing the peace and prosperity of the whole country. For this reason the efforts of certain politicians in California to stir up strife has not ur- settled the money or stock markets Of the world.
 During the week the cotton market became strong and active and prices advanced to the highest point for the season. Another interesting feature was the campaign started to have the anti-option laws of the southern states repealed. One of the men most prom inent in having these laws passed came out in an open letter to the plan ters urging the repeal of tn law and showing that their passage had cost the planter and farmer more than $500, 900, 900. It has thus taken the South less than two years to discover what it has taken Germany ten years to learn. The anti-option laws of that country have worked great hardship and it has only. been within the year that movement to force the repeal of the laws hassbeen started: @*:,: z4
 While business is marking time, it is certain that a slow improvement is going on and it is safe to predict that with good crops the coming sea- son, the end of the year will see pros- perity on a firm foundation, and 1910 will start with a boom, which will make it the banner year in the his tory of the country.

The National Association of Manu- lecturers, and the American Protec- live Tariff league do not agree upon the question of a permanent tariff commission, the former favoring and the latter opposing its creation. This difference of opinion is basic. While the manufacturers are convinced that many of the present tariff duties are too high and some of them not need sd at all, and that some of the raw mat terials should go upon the free list, Inc Protective Tariff league is a stand pat organization which would rather Increase than lessen the present du- .ies. Heretofore these bodies have practically stood together; now they gre widely apart. It is a very auspi- eious sign of the times.

year, the Leader says:
 Would the able leaders who desire to win success for Hon. George P. Me- Lean in 1911 have helped tMr. Hill in the recent canvass unless assured that Mir. Hill would help their candidate in 1911?
 We do not think so.
 MT. Hill fought good fight and lost.
 He has eliminated himself from the campaign of 1911.
 MT. Mclean stuck by him in the contest of 1909 and he ought to stick by MT. Mclean in the contest of 1911.
 We doubt not that there is com plete understanding to that end.

A Tickle Boundary Line.

When they established the Missis-
sippi river us the boundary line be-
tween Mississippi and Louisiana and
between Mississippi and Arkansas. they
doubtless thought that they had es-
tablished natural boundary which
would be convenient and permanent,
but in the course of years it has been
demonstrated that the Mississippi
makes very tickle boundary line. The
soil through which it flows during the
latter part of it's course is alluvial in
quality and makes little resistance
when the river decides to start off in a
new direction. abandoning its old chan
result these states have asked Congress
for consent 10 make the necessary
changes in jurisdiction which have re-
suited from tine changing course of the
Father of Waters. How great are the
alterations made in the topography of
the country by shifts in the course of
the river may be Judged from this il
lustratlon, cited in the report Of the
House committee on judiciary:
Long bends. ten and even twenty
miles around and only two or three
miles across, are very frequent, and in
times past when the annual floods
would come the river would rush across
these narrow necks with such force
and volume that it would in many in
stances cut through the soft alluvium
and thus establish a new and shorter
channel and leave the long bends cut
eff from their original jurisdictions.
THE old channel around the bend,
thus abandoned, at frs, becomes d
lake, but is soon filled by the deposit
of silt, which is precipiated as soon as
ii reaches this still water, and in the
course of few years what was at frs.
an island becomes part of the main
land, and by this process numerous ar
cas- have become entirely separated
from their original States and attached
to the opposite shore. An Illustration
is presented at Vicksburg. Mississippi.

formerly ran along the front OF this

MAINE EDITORIAL COMMENT.
The Duty of the Legislature.
(TIrf Farm and Home.)


The real duty developing upon a
Legislature is not always rightly I'M
derstood. The average new member
hears so much about retrenchmcnt and
reform that he gets the idea that he.
was sent to Augusta for the sole pur-
pose OF keeping down appropriations
to the lowest possible figure, regardless
Of the purposes for which they
are asked, or how urgent they may
be, or how sadly they are needed for
the relief of suffering humanity, or for
the protection of the property Of the
state. These matters are of no i'm
portance. The fact that they are ap-
preparations is reason enough why they
should oppose them, first, last and all
the time. 1t is interesting to observe
the attitude of some of these would be
watch dogs of the treasury They
rarely ever give much heed to the COM
mlttee hearings, where the claims for
the several appropriations are present
ed and fully explained, and full oppor-
tunlty given for questions and eXpla-
nations. No. they prefer to wait till
the matter is presented to the regular
session Of the Legislature. Then they
begin to object, and put trigs in the
path Of the bill. many of them really
believing that by so doing they are best
performing the services for which they
were sent to the Legislature.
No self respecting community ever
sent a representative to the Legislature
for any such Il purpose. The represent
tatlve who goes to Augusta with the
true spirit to represent his constitu-
ents Alright will study carefully ana
discriminatory every measure present
ed. especially those that call for an an
preparation of public money. MANY
bills thus presented are not worthy
and should b" quickly voted down. But
in order to pick up few worthy ones
from the many it is necessary to scan
them all most carefully and closely,
that the merits of each might be dis
covered. 1t is just as much the duty
OF a true representative to vote and
work for the massage of certain bills
as 1t is To oppose and vote against
others. The problem is to sift out the
true and worthy ones from the great
mass that is presented daily for action.
1t is busy place for him who would
do his duty honestly, fcarlessly and in
teillgently, and try as you may you can
moi help making some missteps and
voting for measures and men that af-
forwards you will wish you had op-
posed. You want to keep a very close
touch with Your constituents. and be
guided by their judgment and wishes
in very many cases. A good horse
sense is also a pretty good equipment
in good many respects.
