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 a breath so odious as to make your pres ence 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, inn pure gases or foul digestive fluids.
 Charcoal is the strongest absorbent of foul gases known. It positively attracts posons and neutralizes their evil effects.
 A noted French physician swallowed strychnine enough to kill three men and with a teaspoonful of charcoal removed the bad effects of this terribly swift poi son.
 little charcoal in a bed room or cellar will make foul air pure. Pure willow charcoal mixed with honey are the com ponent parts of Stuarts Charcoal Lozen- ges 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, StuartS Charcoal Lozenges will stop gas making and sweeten the breath.
 They are perfectly harmless and the eating of a box would cause you no in- convenience whatever
 Charcoal is hard to prepare for the stomach because it must be strong and pure and most people will not take it unless made palatable. Stuart's inimtable process presents charcoal to the taste and system in all the nicety desired.
 Choice virgin willow is burnt into de- sirable charcoal this is mixed with pure honey and the combination is compressed under tremendous power into lozenge of great pleasantness and efficiency
 Don't let your bad breath make peo- pie cross the stree. to avoid you go to the nearest drug store and buy a box of Stuarts Charcoal Lozenges today and eat what you will. Two or three after the meal will swae+an llr breath at once. If you want aot 1f Us fact send us your name an auares we will send you trial pa'frsd 1t ,ail free. Ad- dress F.

Ten Doctors Said He Would Die

In 1903 we wrote you regard ing my husband, who was suf- fering from heart trouble. He was superanuated by the North Georgian Conference. Ten doc tors at different times said he would die. You advised pr. Miles Heart Remedy and Re storative Nervine; we did as advised, and improvement was apparent from the very first. He recovered and the Conference in 1904 gave him a charge. He never felt better, although he has very heavy work and does a great deal of camp meeting work. I am so glad we took your advice and gave him the medicine, and feel that 1 ought to let you know of the wonder full good results from its use"
 MRS. T. s. EDWARDS,
 Miner, Ga.
 This proves what Dr. Miles Heart Remedy will do. Get a bottle from your druggist and take it according to directions. It does not matter whether your heart is merely weak, or you have organic trouble, if it does not benefit you take the empty bottle to your druggist and get your money back.

As shown by the records of the pro- bate judge there were 25O hunting per mits issued in this county for the year just beginning. This is somewhat in ex- cess Of the number issued last veal. The game laws have been pretty well enforced and few complaints have been made Of course there were some few prosecutions for violation of the law dur ing the year, still as a rule the people realize the benefits from the law if prop erly observed, and little illegal hunting and killing of protected game has taken place.
 That Gadsden is again filling up and making gains in population is evidenced by the fact that the schools have be- come overcrowded and the cry for more room Is becoming imperative. More than 100 new entrance cards have been issued since the holidays and Superintendent Striplin declares that many of the rooms are so crowded that the best results are impossible.
 In state and county licenses in this county for the year 1908 there was de- crease in receipts over the preceding year of some $7000. In the number of licenses issued there was slight increase show ing that there are as many or more busi- i'esses as before but that they do not pay as heavy a tax.
 Parsifal is booked for the local theatre on January 16 and the largest house of the season is expected

SOCIALISTS AND SOCIALISM

If one is to judge by the number of
votes cast for the candidates on the
ocialist ticke tin November, 1905, the.
great hub bub raised for several
months prior to the ELECTION by ;he
let pie who claunal 20 be socIlis:s. was
not sacere, but was done merely for
the purpose of drawing the weak kaeed
republicans from the party of prosper
ity and progress and at the last mo
ment .anding them in the ranks of the
Bryan followers.
1t is true that to a certain extent
the plan was successful. Occasionally
a republican was drawn away and made
to believe that he was dissatisfied with
conditions, cast his lot with the Great
Commoner.
There seems to be no doubt whatever
of the decline of socialism or the vagar-
les they call principles. The spellbind-
ers are no longer parading the country
telling the people of the perfect life to
result from the adoption of their ideas
socialism is not heard Of 1t is eithe,
lead or soundly sleeping from the ter
rible drubbing it received in 1908 and
nothing awakens it.
But how about the socialists?
They are neither dead nor sleeping,
but are Johnny thespot when the
Democrats are cutting their political
pie Of the Garfield county Socialists
no less than four of them are either
holding or want to Hold more or
less lucar.ive positions in and out
of the county. There is Mr. Callicote,
who bobs up serenely at each session OF
the legislature, with claim for coin
from the state. He is holding one of
the minor, yet So a day, posts under
the democratic legislature. There is
A. j. Vagg, of near Carbondale, who
hates n saloon above all things save
perhaps the United States government,
has been recommended for place as
water commissioner. No one has ac-
cused him of favoring either the demo-
Gratis or republicans.
There are others holding county
places. OF course, they We're on the
democratic ticket, for the socialist prin-
ciples are nothing to them, but were
used as wedge to get on the county
pay roll but the people are learning
| them, and another two years will see
both socialists and socialism practically
dead.
