A Tainted Breath e
Highly DisagreeabIe
A Quick and Permanent Relief fer
This Trouble at a Small ExpeDse.

There are many thousands OF peopIe
who are the unfortunate possessors Of
offensive and obnoxious breath. which
has its origin IN chronic nasal and
throat catarrh, or an unhealthy condi-
ton OF the stomach, or decay Of the
teeth, and when these persons realize
they are the victims OF such an un-
desirable possession, they frequentlS
feel constrained to remain of 70 them
selves the greater part Of the tine, be-
cause they understand only too we'll
how disagreeable it must be to others
with whom they come in contact
For IL is an undeniabIe fact that
people viii comment on and oriticise
the person whose breath IS foul ana
offensive Very frequently we hear the
comment, "SO-and-sO is a most agree
able companion: an Interesting taIker.
with a large fund OF information: Is
well-pOsted on wOrld-history and the
biographies Of many celebrities, can
talk huently on current topics; IS an
accomplished musician, and lite-afeur;
and would be most desirable addi-
ton to any social gathering, except for
the deplorable fact that his OF her
breath Is 50 extremely offensive, that
persons Of refinement. good breeding
and delicate sensibilities do not care
10 come into contact with them"
And very naturally too, for an OBJ
nOxiOus breath taints the very atmos-
phere, and affects the persons sur
rounding the affected one In a way
which is positively nauseating.
There IS no longer any excuse for a
person, however foul and offensive their
breath may be, Of inhicting it's obnoX-
iousness upon the delicate nOstrils and
Olfactory nerves OF others.
Charcoal. the great absorbent, is the
ideal remedy for conditions described
herein, and in STUART'S CHARCOAL
LOZENGES we have the very best
form IN which charcoal may be taken.
These little lozenges absorb one huns
dred times their own volume in foul
gases and tainted breaths, and besides
deodorizing and purifying the breath
and rendering IL sweet and aereea bic,
they also act as antiseptlcS and clears
ers OF the stomach and intestinal sys-
ten, absorbing all offensive gases
which may be present there, destroy
ing disease germs, poisOnS, and NIL
croi1es, and putting stop TO such NOR
bid processes as fern eutatiOn and de-
composition in cases Of chronic dys-a
pepsia and intestinal indigestion.
Don't allow yourself TO be kept out
Of company Of your friends because
you may be so unfortunate as 70 have
offensive breath from any cause. Use
Stuart's Charcoal LOZenges. and you
may rest assured that your trouble viii

Salt Lake county cast 3,C4S votes for the
state capitol and AL against it, In every
precinct throughout the city and county
the voting was very light The returns
indicate that no political lines were

liCan strOngbOlds.
In the city the vote in favor Of the capt.

TRIAL OF BLACK
HAND MEMBERS
Story of Young italian Who
Was Forced to Join Muir
derouS Society.

Fairmont. W. Va, June s.--With the
counsel table piled with knives, re-
volvers, and other paraphernalia of an
alleged Black Hand society, nineteen
Italians who were arrested two months
ago in raid were placed on trial today
in the circuit court. OraziO Parabelli,
10 years old, whose initiation into the
society caused the arrests, said he was
forced to join the organization under
penalty of death and compelled to pay
S25.
Parabelh, carefully guarded. said he
was approached many times by coun-
trymen, who threatened to kill him I'M
less he did become a member. He told
of finally informing the district attor-
ney, who marked five S. bills and ad-
vised him to join the OTganiza ton. After
having been taken into the society, Par
abelli says he was told that in three
months he would receive an equal share
of all money collected
Parabelli says ne was told bv the So
ciety members that it was the custom
to make demand for money on rich
men. If the intended victim refused to
give the money demanded, members of
the society drew marked cards from the
deck, and the one drawing q. certain
number killed the man who refused to
pay tribute. He identified nine of the
nineteen prisoners as those who initi-
ated him into the Black Hand organ
izatiOn, and said he knew the others as
members of the society.

JUDGE LAWLOR
DEFENDS HENEY
Remarkable Scene During the
Trial of President of the
United Railroads.

San Francisco, June S.-A quarrel Of
unparalleled bitterness. involving Judge
William P. Lawlor and virtually all Of
the attorneys engaged in the trial of
Patrick Calhoun, president of the
United Railroads. enlivened a day 9TH
erwise devoted to presentation of rou-
tine testimony. Assistant District At
torney Francis J. Heney started the dis
pute by charging that Earl Rogers, an
attorney for the defense, had been smiI-
ing at members of the jury. There was
an angry response from John ]. Barrett
of the defense, who declared that the
prosecution had unnecessarily prolonged
the trial by the Introduction of trivial
matters. At this point Judge LawlOr
interviewed, threatening to send Mr..
Barrett to jail for intimating that the
court had admitted trivial matter The
court said that allowance had been made
for Mr. Heney's temperamental in
Engagements, because of the fact that he
was shot down in the court room few
weeks before the Calhoun trial opened.
a. A. Moore and L. F. ByingtOn, at
torneys for the defense, designated the
remarks of Judge Lawlor as a, Serious
error" to which exception was taken.
A dozen witnesses were called to the
stand during the day by the prosecution
which refused to make any statement
relative to the probable ending of its ev-
idence. James L. Gallagher, chief of the
board, of supervisors during the admin
istratiOn of Eugene Schmitz, told Of in
cidents connected with the dynamiting
of his home in Oakland during the
month of March 1908
When adjournment was reached.
