Mrs. Beck had been a pupil in the sixth
grade of the Lenox School. She had told
several of her schoolmates that she was
going to be married after the Easter holi-
days, but they believed her to be joking
until the truth leaked out yesterday. I.er
teachers also thought it mere child s
prattle.
The parents Of the bride, who was fif-
teen years old in October last. gave their
permission for the ceremony Albert II.

Foul Breath
Made Pure and Sweet BY the Use of
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges.
Trial Package Sent Free.


Do not go among your friends with
breath so Odious as to make your
presence distasteful. Foul breath is
capable of easy removal if you will
take a little time to overcome it
Generally foul breath comes from one
of two causes, impure gases or foul
digestive fluids.
Charcoal is the strongest absorb
ent of foul gases known. 1t positive
ly attracts pOisOnS and neutraiizeS
their evil effects.
A noted French physician swal-
lowed stTychnine enough to Kill three
men and with a teaspOonful of char
coal removed the bad effects of this
terribly swift poison.
A little charcoal in a bed room or
cellar will make foul air pure. Pure
willow charcoal mixed with honey
are the component parts of Stuart'S
Charcoal LOZenges and pure breath
IS the result of their use after meals.
Simply dissolve two or three after
meals and at bed time and foul
breath fees at once. No matter how
you cause these gases, whether by
bad food, alcohol or abuse of the
stomach, Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges
Will stop gas making and sweeten
the breath.
Iney are pefIecJIy harmless ana
the eating of a box would cause you
no Inconvenience whatever.
Charcoal is hard to prepare for the
stomach because it must be strong
and pure and most people will not
take il unless made palatable. Stu
arts inimitable process presents
charcoal to the taste and system in
all the nicely desired.
Choice virgin willow is burnt into
desirable charcoal; this is mixed with
pure honey and the combination is
compressed under tremendous power
into a lOzenge Of great pleasantnesS
and efficiency.
Don't let your bad breath make
people cross the street to avoid you;
go to the nearest drug store and buy
a box of StUart'S Charcoal LOZenges
today and eat what you will. Two
or three after the meal will SWeeten
your breath at once. If you want

Visits Quaint Ranch

Dear Aunt Laurie:
A hot dusty drive of 13 miles is not a
thing which sounds altogether pleasant,
but don't you think it would fill al
most any one with expectations, who
knows that at the end of that road
there lay a quaint old ranch.
The Matthiessen ranch of which l
speak is situated in a most picturesque
pocket in the mountains. Even to look
at those unique little whitewashed
buildings all nestled up so close in the
friendly arms of the mountains, is re-
freshing to any tired travelor.
To gaze out over the gently sloping
landscape as it rolls invitingly down
to the lakes margin one might think
all the artists in the world had spilled
their colors. Then one who turns to be-
hold the rugged mountains certainly
would decide that nature had been
prolific in the distribution of her abund-
ance.
The little brook as it babbles idly
along. lodging in and out among will
low branches, adds a most satisfying
touch to the scenery. The placid lake
stretches comfortably out over a large
surface and seems to smile approvingly
up to you and the glimpse of the old
boat fastened securely to the shore.
The whole place is beautifully wood
ed. There are the hoary old oaks and
prim little redWOods. The Spanish
bayonets stand about with the air of
stately sentinels.
Would space but allow I could go on
indefinitely relating the peculiar fasci-
mating charm of the old ranch. As it
is l have to leave much to your own
imagination. Yours sincerely,
DOT ELDERKIN.
