Charcoal Lozenges
 Powerful Absorbenfs
Offensive Breath and Stomach Gases 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. It's capacity in this respect is in propor- t1on to the number and fineness of it's pores. Charcoal made from poplar beechwood, vegetable ivory cocoa nut shells and willow-wood, is a com pact, heavy substance, having a me- visible.
 Chemical tests of various kinds per- formed by' expert chemists have re- vealed the fact that charcoal made from willow wood, is not only abso- lutely harmless, but that it is by far the most powerful absorbent of all kinds of gases. Certain other woods mentioned above, are used by some manufacturers in making charcoal and besides not being half as effective been found to be positively harmful to the digestive system.
 Willow-wood charcoal is, then, the very best for the purpose of absorb moving intestinal f1atus, and purifying foul breath. Charcoal to be effective against gastric f1atu1ence must be in troduced aNong the gases of the stomach in~the same state as when fresh from the crucib1e. The means of effecting this is to compress them 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 oxidizing and absorbing foul gases, and also, through it's antiseptic properties, of purifying the entire alirn entary tract.
 It is definitely known that the ab sorbent and cleansing action of char coal is protracted and continued through the intestinal system as we'll as in the stomach, and it proves bene- ficial there also.
 In STUART'S CHARCOAL LOZ- ENGES we have a gas-absorbing rem edy which readily takes precedence over all others. The charcoal used in them is the very best that can be obtained. They are composed of the finest young willow-wood, converted into charcoal by the special, carbon izing Stuart Process, and before be- ing compressed into Lozenges, the powdered charcoal is rendered sweet and thoroughly agreeable to the taste bv being mixed with pure honey, and the result is a product equally as pal atable as candy.
 Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges have at people, millions of boxes being sold every year. They have, over and over again proven their efficiency as rapid and powerful absorbents of foul stomach gases, relieving and curing fatulence, belching, or the eructation of gases, and finally in the purification of offensive breath.

Springfield's advisory expert engineer, who was present at the meeting with the plans which were supposed to embody the ra1!- roads ideas.
 President MeIlen states in his letter that his com pany in no way objects to the action of the river front commits sion in referring the river front prob Hem to the railroad commissioners for solution and says that he has never l been able to come to any definite un- derstanding with the city on any point lin connection with ehe river front problem.

INCOME TAX WINS
Alabama the First State to
Favor Amendment.
LOWER HOUSE IS UNANIMOUS.
Senate Will Pass the Bill on Thurs
day, and Governor Announces
That He Will Sign
It at Once.
LOWER HOUSE IS UNANIMOUS.

Montgomery, Ala, Aug. 3.-Without
Il dissenting vote and carried forward
upon wave of enthusiasm, the bill
to ratify the income tax amendment
to the constitution of the United States
passed the house, the lower branch Of
the legislature.
The bill went Immediately to the
senate, which will pass it unanimous
ly on Thursday, and it will go direct
to Governor Conner, who declares that
he will sign the measure without de-
lay.
Governor Conner is most anxious that
Alabama shall have the distinction of
being the first state in the Union to
go on record in favor of the amend
ment which will enable the national
government to enact federal income
tax. When Alabama has given her
approval it will require affirmative ac-
ton by at least thirty-four other states
to make the amendment effective.
Governor Conner said:
az am anxious to see Alabama the
first state in the Union to give her
Endorsement to the sixteenth amend
ment of the constitution of the United
States. l hope there will not be a
dissenting vote on the passage of this
resolution"
When the resolution came up for
passage in the house there was only
one member who had any questions to
ask. He wanted to know If a federal
income tax would affect persons draw
ing moderate salaries, and when told
that,it prohGhly would not he voted in
favor of the resolution.
Only one speech was made in favor
of the resolution and that was unnec-
essary, as practically every member
was prepared to vote in favor of il
Offhand.
BY it's action the lower branch OF
the legislature voted to add article II
to the federal constitution. to wit:
"That congress shall have power tC
lay and collect taxes on incomes from
whatever source derived without ap
portionment among the several states
and without regard to any census OF
enumeration"
Every other state in the Union vii
decide through its legislature whether
the constitution shall be so amended
If thirty-tive or more of the forty-siN
states vote in favor of the amendment
an income tax will be adopted.

Washington, Aug. 3.-Senator Aid

visibility of withdrawing the confer

convening the conferees in order to
remove certain Objectionable features.
This course was urged upon him as
the result of the growing Republican
revolt in the senate and when it be-
came evident that unless concessions
were made the report would be recon-

are Denby of Michigan, Ashbrook of
Ohio, Kelliher Of Massachusetts, How

The representatives had purchased
their tickets and were about to board
an outgoing train for their homes
when the officer of the house spoiled
their plans. Countless excuses were
offered, but the officer was firm.

holding enough members of the house
to transact public business. He has
sent kilograms far and wide urging
members to return.

dent was appealed 10, and he sent for
Il number of the recalcitrants, but they
soon convinced him that the leather,
hide, shoe and lumber schedules con-
tanned jOker5.
Senator Al.lrich saw the president
and was advised to make concessions
the western Republicans. Otherwise
the bill is certain to be recommitted.
Seven Republican senators of the pro
gressive" type, thirty-one of the Demo-
Gratis and three of the so called range
senators appear to hold the fate of
the bill in their hands.
Senator Cummins said today that
the progressives in the senate would
not vote for the tariff bill as proposed
and that they had enough votes to de-
feat the conference report.
The western senators complain that
the leather schedule. as arranged by
the conferees with the approval Of the
president, is unfair to the states in
terested in protected hides.
They say they were led to believe
that all boots and shoes of leather
were to be dutiable at 10 per cent and
that all harness was to be dutiable at
20 per cent. When the conference re-
port was issued it appeared that the
'eductions applied only to articles man
ufactured in chief part of the class of
hides which We're to be made free of
duty. The reductions would not apply
to shoes, the uppers of which were
made Of calfskin, or to harness, the
chief value of which was calfskin.
At conference Of the house and
senate conferees, called by Senator
Aldrich after visit to the White
House, audiences were given to Sena
tors Cummins, Hepburn, Warren, Car
ter, Sutherland Brown, Borah and
Bourne. Invitations had been issued
to Senators Dixon, Burkett and CLARK
of Wyoming, but they did not accept.
The senators from the cattle raising
states said that the word had gone
out over the west that free hides haG
been given for cheaper shoes and har
ness and that their constituents would
not be satisfied with any other bar
gain.
Senators Brown and Borah produced
letters from the president bearing upor
the alleged "joker," The letter t.

MILK FAMINE IMPENDS.
Drought Has Killed the Grass on Many
Pasture Lands

Boston, Aug. 3.-This city is threat
ened with a milk famine. The trouble
is due to the drought, which has killed
the grass on many pasture lands, and
to the high cost Of grain and other
feed.
S. H. Abbott, president of the Boston
Cooperative Milk Producers COM
pany, said:
THE milk situation is becoming Sc
rious. All outside cities are short and
Boston has been having a taste of
what is coming in more serious form
later on. The prolonged drought has
knocked out the pastures, which were
seriously impaired from like condi-
ton one year ago. The backward
spring kept the corn back, so that in
many places it is not more than one
third grown and is too small to COM
mence to feed. There Is great danger
that the water supply will fail if the
drought continues. The alarming fea-
lures of the situation are that the con-
ditions are equally as bad today as
they were last year on the last day of
