DR. WHITE ON
 TRACHOMA Paper Read at Recent Indian
 School Conference AN IMPORTANT SUBJECT
It is One That Need Not Oc- casion Great Embarrass- ment But Demands Urgent and immediate Attention. Possibly It's Contagious.

Through the kindness of Dr. Daniel W. White, United States surgeon at the Phoenix Indian school, The Repub- lican is permitted to reproduce the ad- dress he delivered on the subject of trachoma at the Indian school on Jan uary Is, before the Indian school con- ference. The doctor also spoke on this subject before the Maricopa County Medical association early in January, before the local people were excited by the prevalence of the disease in the school. At that time he announced that it would undoubtedly be found here as elsewhere if the physicians would look for it.
 In speaking of the tourists that visit this section the doctor said they should either disinfect the Indian cu- rios bought or be assured that the dealers had so treated them as the in lection might be easily spread by handling curios that came from an in fected Indian family. Dr. White in the course of his remarks yesterday said he believed the law makers of the country should give the medical men better support in their organized ef- forts at combating such diseases and cited with interest the fact that Penn sylvania has secured an appropriation of $50. 900 to make investigations of the prevalence of trachOma and anoth- CT S50.00O for a similar investigation of the scourge of tuberculosis.
 Speaking of trachOma the doctor said it is by no means confined to the Indian school but Is equally as preva- lent among the lower class of Mexi- cans and some Americans who live under unsanitary conditions. It was merely exposed first at the Indian school which is taking active meas ures to stamp it out and the schools should all be given the same thorough attention for there are doubtless many cases in a mild form where it is least suspected. Nor does the disease orig mate here for he has known of many cases brought here from other states The doctors paper follows:
 Europe and other foreign countries were the first to feel the effect of this serious eye conditiOn-"trachOma Napoleon scattered it widespread with his army It is sometimes called Ma poleon's disease. or Egyptian eye dis ease or granular lids.

Stomach GaSSeS
 and Torpid LiverS
Give Way Before the Peculiar Puri- flying Power of Stuarts
 Charcoal Lozenges.
A Trial Package Sent Free.

The foul gases of the stomach and the torpid action of the liver are easy victims for charcoal to over come.
 This great natural cleaner and ab- sorbent will most certainly be rel ished by a system afflicted with gas eous or sluggish tendencies.
 Charcoal has long been known as a great absorbent of gas. A painful of charcoal will positively purify Q room filled with foul odors and de- cay. Its absorbing ratio is one hun dred times greater than its own vol ume.
 The ancients gave charcoal for many human ills successfully. The North American Indians used it for snake bite, poison from eating wild herbs and cured what they called stomach bad medicine" with it.
 Willow charcoal seems to be the best product for human use, and no doubt the peculiar curative property of the willow is represented in a chemical quality in its charcoal.
 Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges are pure willow and sweet honey blended by tremendous power and compress sion into a very palatable lozenge. Two or three lozenges eaten after meals will prevent the process of digestion from producing noxious gases. They will vivify a lazy liver and aid every organ which is most likely to be overcome through its contact with impurities.
 They cleanse the stomach and in testines, bring purity and sweetness out of fermentation and decay and aid digestion by allaying gas. They will aid you and your stomach. The beneficial effects are made evident after each meal when you use char coal as Stuart prepares it. To allay gas at night they are excellent and one arises in the morning without that terrible nauseating bad breath which destroys appetite and renders one miserable.
 All druggists sell Stuart's Char coal Lozenges, price twenty five cents, or send us your name and ad- dress and we will send you a trial package by mail free. Address F. A. Stuart Co. 200 Stuart Bldg, Mar shall, Mich.

TO SMUGGLER
UNION MINE
At 8 O'clock This Morning Buildings
at Famous Mine We're Discovered
to be Burning-Cause of De-
structive Blaze a Mystery.
THE MINE WILL NOT BE CLOSED

A disastrous and mysterious fire
visited the great Smuggler- Union
mine at Telluride this morning and
as result ten buildings were burned
down and loss of about $4,000
was sustained.
The fire was discovered shortly
after nine o'clock among the bunk
houses and before the flames could
be controlled seven bunk houses, the
big cook house, dining hall. COM
pany store, and the club rooms of the
Y. NJ. c. A. were completely destroy
ed with practically all of their con-
tents.
Fortunately the flames we're kept
from the power houses and the mills
and therefore the big mine will not
have to suspend operations.
There were few men in any of the
burned buildings at the time the fire
started.
: The origin of the fire Is unknown.
The company will rebuild the
various houses at once. '
The fire caused great excitement
as 1t was reported in Telluride that
every building. including the big
mill, powder plants, etc, were burn
ing to the ground.
The Smuggler-Union is one of the
oldest. richest and best known mines
in Colorado.
