NASTY WATER IS
 FOUND TO BE GOOD

Anniston, January 13.-(Special) )-What has heretofore been regarded as a hin drance to the town of Wellington may yet prove of the greatest good to the town and community, as it has developed that the "very bad water thereabout is of the highest medicinal value.
 When o. E. Usry, prominent business man of the town, first built his house and dug a well, he found the water very un- palatable to the taste, but strangely ben eficial to his health and that of his fam fly; but for all that he thought little of it except to wish for water that was palatable.
 Recently an analysis of the water was made, and the result has been wonderful in reversing the opinion of the citizens of the little town. They find themselves living in place where they can hardly get sick by trying. MT. Usry observed while digging his we'll that the earth had in 1t many clinging particles, which have recently been found to be epson salts, and the same thing was true of all the wells in a considerable territory In the town.
 The N P. Pratt laboratory of Atlanta, Ga, made the following analysis of the water:
 Sodium sulphat (glauber sats), 26.67; magnesium sulphat (epsom salts), 4.S4 magnesium carbonate, 22.86. Total of main laxative ingredients, Wellington, 90,S7

BEAUTY AND
 BAD BREATH
Cannot Go Together No Matter How a Woman May Try to Make Them,


 Woman May Try to Make Them.
 It does not matter how beautiful a wom- an may be- if she Is afflicted with bad breath she will be summed and pited by men and even women will studiously avoid her.
 If any woman doubts this statement let her make a point of asking a friend in whom she may confide, man friend or relative If he be honest he will tell her that foul breath from the mouth of a woman will drive men from her more rapidly than any other personal affliction. Foul breath arouses in man disgust and where this quality is brought into play no amount of self denial or reasoning can overcome the natural repugnance which comes to man when he is in company with such a woman.
 What is true of bad breath in woman is not true in so great degree in men. Women are looked upon as the incarna- tion of sweetness, breeding, virtue and re- fnement. Foul breath will sicken a man so that he cannot feel for such woman a companionship necessary to make him desire to be in her company.
 There is absolutely no occasion for bad breath in either men or women. Char coal, the strongest absorbent known, when taken into the stomach will prevent this repugnant tendency or affliction.
 Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges are sold in tremendous quantities all over America and Canada. They cure and have cured all forms of bad breath. A single box will convince you of this fact. One should eat some of these lozenges after each meal and upon retiring. You might eat 50 of them without harm. They are not medicine, but pure willow charcoal mixed with sweet honey to make them palatable and compressed into lozenge to pre- serve their peculiar and lasting strength. The next time you wish to go into com- pany and don't want your foul breath to hum;liate you, eat several of Stuarts Charcoal Lozenges and your breath will be pure and sweet.
 Every druggist carries them; price 25 cents. or send us your name and address and we will send you trial package by mail free. Address F. A. Stuart Co.,, 200 Ctuart Bldg, Marshall, Mich.

20 Years WithHeartT Trouble

"Dr. Miles Heart Remedy has cured me of heart disease of over 20 years standing. I was so bad that I could not do my work, and could scarcely draw a full breath without fainting or smothering. The doctor told me he could do no more for me; then I commenced taking the Heart Remedy. I shall never forget that night. l slept better than I had before in months. 1 kept right on getting better, un- til I was perfectly we'll"
 MRS. LAURA RUSSELL,
 Logan, Iowa.
 When. the heart action is weak, it fails to pump the blood through the lungs with sufficient rapidity. Then the lungs do not absorb the proper amount of oxygen, although they may be taking in a normal amount of air. The result is shortness of breath, smothering spells, diff cult breathing, oppressed feeling in chest. Dr. Miles Heart Rem edy strengthens the heart nerves and muscles, and in this way increases the circulation.
