A Tainted Breath
 Highly DisagreeabIe
A Quick and Permanent Relief For
 This Trouble at Small Expense.

This Trouble at Small Expense.
 There are many thousands of people who ara the unfortunate possessors of offensive and obnoxious breath, which has it's origin in chronic nasal and throat catarrh, or an unhealthy condition of the stomach, or decay of the teeth, and when these persons realize they are the victims of such an undesirable possession they frequently feel constrained to remain off to themselves the greater part of the time, because they understand only too well how disagreeable 1t must be to others with whom they come in contact
 For 1t is an undeniable fact that peo- pie will comment on, and criticise the person whose breath is foul and of- fensive Very frequently we hear the comment "So-and-so is a most agree able companion; an interesting talker, with a large fund of information; is we'll posted on world history and the bi- ographies of many celebrities; can talk huently on current topics; is an accomp- lished musician and literateur, and would be a most desirable addition to any so- cial gathering except for the deplorable fact that his or her breath is So extremely offensive, that persons of refinement good breeding and delicate sensibilities do not care to come into contact with them"
 And very naturally. too, for an obnox- ious breath taints the very atmosphere and affects the persons surrounding the affected one in a way which is posi- tive nauseatng.
 There is no longer any excuse for a person, however foul and offensive their breath may be, of iniicting 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 sTUARTs CHARCOAL LOZENGES we have the very best form in which charcoal may be taken. These little lozenges absorb 100 times their own volume in foul gases and taint- ed breaths, and besides deodorizing and purifying the breath and rendering it sweet and agreeable, they also act as an- tiseptics and cleansers of the stomach and intestinal system, absorbing all off, fensive gases which may be present there, destroying disease germs, poisons and microbes, and putting stop to such mor- bid processes as fermentation and de- composition in cases of chronic dyspepsia and intestinal indigestion.
 Don't allow yourself to be kept out of company of your friends because you may be so unfortunate as to have offen- ! sve breath from any cause. Use Stuart $ i Charcoal Lozenges, and you may rest assured that your trouble will be re- moved thoroughly and rapidly.
 Purchase box from your druggist for 25 cents and send us your name and ad- i dress for free sample package. Address F. A. Stuart Company, 200 Stuart Bldg. Marshall, Mich.

PEOPLE WANT REST BUT
 POLITICS WILL NOT DOWN
BY HERvEY w. LAIRD.

Montgomery, December 11.-(Special.) There is a general demand on the part of the people as a whole that there be cessation from politics for a time at least E. K. Campbell, member of the executive committee of the demo- crats of the state, voiced this desire on yesterday. He is joined by many lead ing papers. It is time enough to get busy later in the year, when the busi- ness interests of the state have had time to quiet down.
 But It VIII Not Down.
 But there are few who really think there will be much rest. Every man who thinks he has showing for high office is letting 1t worry him, or it is worrying his friends. Those who were against the amendment, and they seem to have been legion, are in the woods about a leader. They have Moody, Henderson. Spragins, ONea1 and many others upon whom the mantle might fall. But who Is the agitating ques- tion. One hears that to settle it a con- vention of the faithful majority will be held in short time. This seems the only way to get together. It is re- garded as fatal for more than one of them to run against Mallory.
 Talk of c. B. Teasey.
 Recognized as one of the best organ izers and a most astute politician, there is much peeking about to see what C. B. Teasley, erstwhile senator from Montpomerv is going to do Teasiev is put down by great many as having a leaning to Mallory. even though the Selma statesman did throw his anti- amendment friends down at the extra session. J. B. Ellis. whose great object in life just now Is to see H. s. D. Nal lory follow B. B. Conner as the boss on the hill, was seen hob-nob ping with Senator Teasley one day this week and

RABBI WINFIELD
 DELIVERS LECTURE
Gives History of "Zend Avesta of the Parsis"-BIackfriars to Present
 Twelfth Night"

University, December n.-(Special)- One Of the most liberal, interesting and instructive lectures that the faculty and students of the university have had the pleasure of listening to in some time was that recently delivered here in Clark hall by Rabbi Morris M. Newfield of Temple Emanuel, Birmingham. The subject of his lecture was '"rhe Story of a Long Forgotten Book" the book in question being the Zend Avesta of the Parsis
 It Is quite probable that during the second half year Rabbi Newfield will deliver at the university a series of lec- lures on Oriental literature and philos- ophy.
 The Blackfriars, the dramatic organi- zation which for the past three years has done much to promote interest in the drama at the university, held an enthusiastic meeting last Tuesday night at the home of Dr. J. T. Searcy. The most important business transacted at the meeting was the decision to present this year Shakespeare's delightful com edy, Twelfth Night" As is usual the cast will be selected by competition and January 12 was selected as the date for the trials.
 Last Wednesday night Alpha Sigma Delta, the legal fraternity at the uni versity, enjoyed delightful banquet in the dining han of the McLester ho- tel. Besides the 30 members of the fra ternity who enjoyed the spread, there were present Judge w. s. Thorington, A. s. yandegraaff. Ormond Somerville, Judge H. B. Foster, Dr. J. w. Abery crombie, Judge J. c. Brown, W. B. Oli- yer and Tom Garner. A number of ad- mirable toasts were given, MT. F. M. Deminick serving as toastmaster.

is self-sufficient, Any one who has not given particular attention to this sub Ject will be surprised at the great range of matters as to which the common life of the country has grown up to the point of needing uniform legislation by groups of states, If not by all the states"
 ITO enumerate a few of the important subjects: The great movement for the conservation Of our natural resources in- augurated by President Roosevelt cannot be carried to its perfect consummation until these states adopt uniform laws upon the subjects of forestry, water power and reclamation of land by irri- gation.
 '1n the effort to propose suitable amendments to the Sherman antitrust act, our committee was not unmindful of the fact that if satisfactory amend ments were finally made, their effect would be nullined in many important in stances unless the antitrust laws of tho various states were made to substantially conform. Probably no better illustration would be given than that of railway reg ulation. The interstate commerce com- mission of course can deal only with in- terstate, while the states can deal only with interstate traff1o. The confusion and conflict without uniform action can readily be imagined.
 ''The National Association of State Bank Supervisors and the American Banking association have come to agree ment on certain propositions upon which they desire uniform state legislation. In the matter of Insurance, both life and fire. national associations have been or ganized and in the latter case are work ing with the state supervisors of insur- ance in an effort to secure state uniform ity. The agricultural organizations, the Wholesale Grocers, the Wholesale Drug gists and number of other national or ganizations are working for uniform pure food laws.
 'aThe labor organizations want uniform workmen's compensation acts, uniform legislation as to guarding dangerous ma chinery, factory inspection, convict made products, regulation of the employment of women and children, etc. The American Medical association desires uniformity on registration and preservation of vital sta- tistics. The National Grange, the Amer loan Automobile association and tho American Roadmakers' association have united in the demand for uniform state legislation on the regulation of motor ve- hic1es and the building of good rdads throughout the country.
 Experts on taxation are agreed to day that uniform state legislation on the subject Is absolutely essential.
 ''It is not the purpose of the National Civic Federation to pass on all the va rious problems referred to, but to edu- cate public opinion as to the far-reach- ing importance of uniform action by the states and to bring together and federate the various interests that are striving for uniformity in matters that make for the public weal''

 Seth Low, president of the federation, has made the following statement regard ing the scope and purposes of the organ ization,
 'sThe National Civic Federation has been led to believe that one of the most important questions with which our coun- try. as a whole, is confronted is the ne cessity for reasonable uniform legislation by the different states of the union on many subjects of common interest
 For example, if one industrial state makes a change in the law of master and servant. or of negligence, it may un- willingly greatly endanger its manufac- turing industries, but if the competitive industrial states will move corresponding ly along the same lines not one of them is likely to be endangered. and the whole country may be greatly benefited.
 "The time has come when each state must 1egislate on matters of common in terest from the point of view of one of a family of states, rather than from the point of view of an individualism that
