We heard a man say the other morn ing that the abbreviation for February -F'eb.-means Freeze every body, and that man looked frozen in his ulster. It was apparent that he needed the kind of warmth that stays. the warmth that reaches from head to foot, all over the body. We could have told him from personal knowledge that Hoods Sarsaparilla gives permanent warmth. it invigorates the blood and speeds it along through artery and vein. and really fits men and women, boys and girls, to enjoy cold weather and resist the attacks of disease. It gives the right kind of warmth. stimu- 1ates and strengthens at the same time, and all it's benefits are lasting. There may be a suggestion in this for you.

Bad Breath and
 Sour Stomach
Stopped At Once With Pure Willow Charcoal, the Greatest Gas Ab-
 sOrber Known.

There is no necessity to suffer the
 humiliation, chagrin and discomfort
 of bad breath, biliousness, sour stom- ach, gastritis, sluggish liver, etc., ,wher a little lozenge of charcoal will cleanse
 the stomach and make it pure anG sweet
 Do not drug yourself when a sim pie little natural charcoal made from fragrant willow branches, sweetened with honey, will add tone to youl stomach, liver and intestines, rapidly absorb gases and stop foul odors of all kinds.
 Charcoal will absorb one hundred times it's own volume in gas. A box full of charcoal placed in bed room will keep the air of such a room pure and sweet.
 A little charcoal 1ozenge dissolbed on the tongue after meals will also keep the stomach fresh and clean. Charcoal is justly called the scrub bing brush for the stomach. The old monks of medieval times cured bad cases of stomach troule, cast out dew ills from the system of man by feed ing such a man charcoal.
 Scientific men of today believe in the great strength of charcoal for the cure of human ills. Too much of it it just like an animal needs and craves salt every so often Charcoal goes in to the stomach gently and is welcome, it settles down through the action of the stomach, and filters through all the food, absorbing gas, aiding diges- tion and giving tone to the juices, so that when the food goes into the in- testines, and there meets other al, gestive fluids, the charcoal holds the impurities and thus keeps them from the blood.
 Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges are made from pure willow. They are prepared fragrant by the use of hon. ey and sweetened so they please the taste and are easily dissolved.
 They have an enormous sale, thus stamping them with the approval of the public. Every druggist sells them, 25 cents per box. Go to your drug gist today and buy box; then after your next meal take two or three of them, and judge for yourself of their merit.
 Several taken at bed time will prove to you in the morning that they have been at work all night, for your bad breath will not be so bad after all.
