Charcoal LOzengeS
 Powerful Absorbents
Offensive Breath and Stomach Gases
 Cannot Exist When They Are Used

Charcoal, by virtue of It's porous na- ture takes up gases mechan1caliy Juse as a sponge takes up water. US ch- pacity in this respect is in proportion to the number and dneness of it's pores Charcoal made from poplar, beechWoou. vegetable ivory, cocoa-nut shells and willow wood, is compact, heavy sup stance, having a metallic luster, the pores being quite invisible.
 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 in absorbing stomach-gases, have also been found to be positively harmful to the digestive system.
 Willow wood charcoal is. then, the very best for the purpose of absorbing excessive gas of the stomach. removing intestinal fiatus, and purifying foul breath. Charcoal to be effective against gastric fiatulence must be in- troduced among the gases of the stom- ach in the same state as when fresh from the crucible. The means of ef- fecting this is to compress them Into soluble lozenges, so that after being dissolved fin the mouth and swallowed, the charcoal is "set free" and at once begins it's work of oxidizing and ab- sorbing foul gases, and also, through It's antiseptic properties, of purifying the entire ailmentary tract.
 It is definitely known that the ab- sorbent and cleansing action of char coal is protracted and continued through the intestinal system as well as in the stomach, and 1t proves ben- eficial there also.
 In STUARTS CHARCOAL LOZEN- GEES we have a gas-absorbing reme- dy which readily takes precedence over all others. The charcoal used in them is the very best that can be ob- tained. They are composed of the fin- est young willow-wood, converted into charcoal by the special, carbonizing Stuart process, and before being com pressed into Bozenges, the powdered charcoal is rendered sweet and tho- roughly agreeable to the taste by be- ing mixed with pure honey, and the result is a product equally as palatabie as candy.
 Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges have at- tained a wide popularity among the people, millions of boxes being sold every year. They have, over and over again proven their efficiency as rapid and powerful obsorbents of foul stom- | ach-gases, and finally in the purihca- | ton of offensive breath. Buy package of these little lozen- | ges from your druggist for 25 cents | and forward us your name and address l for free sample package Address, F. A. Stuart Co, 200 Stuart Bldg, Marsh | all, Mich.

Townspeople Fortunate in Having \ Everlasting Spring-Granse confers
 Degrees.


 Nearly all the wells hereabouts are dry; some that never failed before, and the scarcity of water for families and cattle is distressing. Some have to go a mile or more to some spring. The Everlasting spring, near the highway, on the farm known as the old Stewart place, now owned and occupied by the Tanner brothers, William and Luther, is remarkable. It supplies quite a large number of families and seems not to lower a bit. It flows off a few rods and then the outflow sinks from sight in the ground and the final outlet has not been found. It Is highly impreg- mated with iron mineral and is always clear, cold and refreshing. One fam fly alone draws from $50 to 500 quarts daily from it.
