 I Cannot Exist When They Are Used
 Charcoal, by virtue of it's porous nature. takes up gases mechanically Just as a sponge takes up water, Its l capacity in this respect is in propor- | tIqn to the number and fineness of its ] pofes. Charcoal made from poplar | beechWood, vegetable ivory, cocoa nut shells and willow-wood, is d com pact, heavy substance, having me I tallic luster. the pores being quite in l visible. ,s
 Es. Chemical tests of various kinds per formed by expert chemists have re- 1 yealed the fact that charcoal made from willow. wood, is not, only abso- i1utely harmless. but that it : is bys far 1 tfls most powerful absorbent of all I Kinds of gases. Certain other woods, l iLaentioned above, are used by. some in making charcoal, and besides not being half as effective in absorbing stomach-gsses, have. also Ibeen found to be positively harmful i to the digestive system.
 1 Willowsewood charcoal is, then, the very best for the purpose of absorb ing excessive gas of the stomach. re t1noying intestinal flatuS, and purifying lifou1 breath. Charcoal to be effective tagainst gastric flatulence must be in- sTeHuced among the gasV of. the EstpmAch; in the same stateXas when fresh from the crucib1e The means of effecting this is to compress them r into soluble; lozenges, so that after be- ing dissolved in the mouth and swal- lowed, -,the.- charcoal is set free,'' and at once begins it's work of oyidizing and absorbing foul gases, and also, through its! .antiseptic properties, of purifying the, entire alinentary tract.

In his attempted traversing of the Democratic platform, Tuesday even ing. Mayor Lee took up the referen- dunn plank which declares, in sub stance, that charter amendments should, before taking effect, be suo- mitted to the people. He disapproved this plank, in evident 6istrust of the peoples intelligence, and the substance of his views was that if charter 4ro- visions were found to be wrongful or insufficient, they could best be rem edied through private intercession with the General Assembly, without refer ence of the proposed amendments to the people. He might also have said, without favorable action by the citys authorized legislative body, the Com mon Council, for when he presented his proposed charter amendments to tine Board of Aldermen last winter he announced that whether accepted or rejected by that body, he should have them introduced in the General As sembly.
 Read between the lines, Mayor Lees statement Tuesday night was, in sub stance, that so long as the Republican 5nachine rules, with himself as it's agent and tool, the Judgment of the people upon charter amendments is not needed.

the trees grown on the Florida keys are
specimens that produce fruit as large as
the medium-siZed apple. The department
hopes that selection and budding will
make great improvements in this delicious
fruit. Some growers have trees which
produce fruits of superior excellence. and
these become known in local markets and
are in demand accordingly.

good condition for the retail market, and
is quickly bought by those familiar with It.
For the nearby markets, the ordinary
way is to knock or shake the fruit from
the tree. pick 1t up and throw 1t into
boxes or baskets. The usual selling prices
range from 10 to % cents dozen, while
the very fine. large specimens. grown by

and taken to Key West or Miami, Fla.
where they sell readily for 81 a dozen.
The sugar apple. which is one OF the
varieties which the department is en-
deavoring to make popular in northern
markets, is classed among the subtropical
bush fruits. 1t is said that ordinarily
one has to acquire taste for the fruit,
the flavor being obscured by the large
amount Of sugar, but after growing ac-
customed to it. the flavor becomes ap-
parent and is highly relished. The sugar

Those who have tasted 1t describe the

advantage under which the fruit suffers
appears to be its American origin. The

have learned to know the oriental fruits
and to like them The sapodilla is as
good as many we'll known fruits. yet it is
almost unknown in any markets except
those on the Gulf of Mexico and the east

the sapodilla is said to be its growth on
seeding trees. AS result. the product
is exceedingly variable. both in time Of
ripening and quality of fruit. The defect,
ii is stated. however, is not unavoidable,
but Is rather due TO lack of attention and
want OF persistent effort. The tree may
be budded, and 1t may also be transplant
ed with fair degree of certainty. 1t
makes a handsome appearance for orna-
mental planting, being conical in outline,
with thick. waxy, evergreen leaves. The
flowers are fnconspicuOus, and are borne
