Charcoal Lozenges A Natural Breath
 Perfume
Charcoal Assists In Gaining and Re-
 taining a Sweet Breath.


 Breath perfumes should never be re- sorted to. They seldom conceal the odor and never remove the cause, and are very suggestive.
 Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges sweeten the breath by removing the cause-a disor- dered condition of the stomach, and by this means impart to the breath the nat ural healthful odor, void of all unnatural or suggestive condition. Charcoal ills four-fold mission First. it purif1es the breath by restoring to it the natural odor nature intended 1t to have Second, char coal is an absorbent, absorbing 100 per cent per volume of gas, by this means relieving flatulence and gases Of the stom- ach and bowels Third, charcoal aids digestion and by this means regulates the action of the bowels, relieving Aux, diar- rhoea. piles, constipation, etc. Fourth, charcoal oxidizes the blood, thus prevent nip pimples and other eruptions that arise from indigestion and impurities of the blood.
 stuart's Charcoal Lozenges are a house. hold necessity and should be in every home containing only young willow wood charcoal and honey. They are perfectly harmless and any quantity may be taken without i'll effects. Old and young alike can take Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges with the same beneficial results.

Any rate it is evident that there will be great sport Alabama generally has a fair track team. Vanderbilt usually sends out a bunch of young athletes who cop prizes. Tennessee, as is known, is a great college. for sports The club will send a dozen of its best men and the Y. M. c. As experts will take part.
 It is thought that some splendid rec ords will be made. It is yet too early to issue a programme, but there will be enough events to last for an entire day. The grammar school events are all ready causing the young scholars of the city to discuss the prospects and to get down to hard work. The events of the big day May 8. will occur at the fair grounds.
 On account Of these dates conflicting with the dates of the spring events of the southern branch of the Amateur Athletic union, which will occur in New Orleans it is now considered a certainty that neither the Athletic club nor the Y. M. c. A. will be represented there.

They are coming. People from

rate never before equalled, and there
is evidence now that the travel during
the entire colonist period will be enor-

sending out leaflets giving the low rate
from twenty or twenty-five points,
others have the information printed at
the top of their stationery and on their
envelopes. Every reader Of this paper
should see that a similar leaaet goes in

Remember this rate is good until the

SEATTLE NEWS ITEM S

This is the day of new hotels, lodg-
ing houses and apartment houses for
Seattle. Every man who has small
fortune seems to be investing it in one
or the other, believing that he will be
able to make young financial record
during the period of the Exposition.
Out in the vicinity of the Exposition
grounds small apartment and lodging
houses are springing up like mushrooms
and more are to follow. By the time
the Exposition opens there should be
enough rooms in Seattle to house most
of the population west of the Missis-
sippi. If the reports which come from
the east are to be relied upon Seattle
is not making too great preparation
for handling the crowds. 1t is the
opinion of ]. B. Meikle, former secre-
tary of the Chamber Of Commerce and
now connected with the exposition,
that the railroads will have hard time
assembling sufficient equipment to carry
visitors to Puget Sound this summer.
Mr.. Meikle has just returned from an
extensive trip east and he made it a
point to very carefully investigate the
situation. He returns convinced that
the State of Washington will have more
guests this summer than was ever
dreamed of. They are not coming for
the sole purpose of seeing the Expo
sition, but to investigate and size up
the Northwest. They have heard so
much of the wonders of the West that
they have concluded to take advantage
of the excursion rates to see for them
selves. The people of Washington
may well prepare to play the role of
hosts from June until October IS.
If the sentiment existing in King
county is any criterion to go by, Act
ing Governor Hay satisfied the lawyers
of the state when he named Judge
George Morris and Judge E. N. Parker
to sit on the Supreme court bench.
Judge Morris stands well in King
county, and when the announcement
was made that he was to go on the
supreme bench local attorneys were
we'll pleased. Judge Parker is recog-
nized as an able lawyer and Judge, and
Pierce county people heard Of his ap-
pointment with pleasure. The two
new judges, it is believed, will add
great strength to the supreme court
bench, and both being tireless workers
will do more than their share towards
keeping the court calendar clear.
West side politicians are asking
themselves if the next United States
senatorial fight in this state is to be a
free-for-all, with a candidate or two
from most every corner Of the state.
King county seems to have number
of men who are willing to give up
their private business to serve the
people in the senate. Some of those
mentioned are William Pitt Trimble,
the capitalist and politician; c. F.
White, rich lumberman; Judge R. A.
Ballinger, at present secretary of the
interior, and E. c. Hughes, rich law
yer, to say nothing of Senator Piles
himself. Senator Wilson says he is
not candidate. White has nothing

to say, but he has a big following
among the lumbermen, and is par
ticularly strong in the Southwest, where
he has extensive interests.
Pierce county is expected to con-
tribute some senatorial timber two
years hence. Congressman Cushman
and Judge Smell are mentioned as
successors to Mr.. Piles. Another
Pierce county man who may figure
prominently in the next senatorial
fight is Robert Mccormick. He likes
politics and is at present national COM
mitteeman. If any man in this state
has more money than Mr.. Mccormick
his name does not appear in Brad
streets. All of McCormicks money
has been made in lumber. 1t is said
he has reached that period of life where
making money no longer interests him.
What he would like to do is to serve
the people of the state in the upper
house at Washington.
AS the days come and 90 it is ex-
pected that more senatorial timber will
offer itself.
John E. Humphries, of Seattle, who
came near being nominated member
of the Supreme court bench at the
last primary, may announce his can
didacy any time for the same Office in
order to get ready for the election two
years hence. Judge Humphries' con-
tention has always been that the poll
ticians shut him and his friends out Of
the old conventions, hence he was
never able to capture a nomination.
Under the direct primary plan he
thought he would be winner and for
time it looked as though he was
right, but the official vote made him
low man. Now the Legislature prom

Of the supreme court are concerned,

the nomination two years hence.

famous musical organizations, will be
an attraction at the Alaska-Yukon-

Three of the highest mountain peaks
of the United States are to be seen

Comparatively few people in the
Pacific Northwest realize that Forest
Grove, Oregon, is nationally known as
the source of Americas most perfect
archery bows. Pacific Yew, which
grows in perfection in this part OF the
United States, is the material used, and
Captain F. S. Barnes fashions it with
skilled hand into bows sought by ex-
perts all over this continent and even
abroad. Though almost seventy years
of age, the Captain is himself SPLEEN
did archer, and such an enthusiast in
his chosen craft that he makes personal
trips to the mountains each year to
select Yew of just the proper grade
and grain-the altitude at which the
tree grows is an important factor.
Occasionally a bow of rare accuracy
and highest speed is created, and
these are dignifed with names. "Cy-
clone" and 'Whirlwind" are famous
among archers.
