Charcoal LOzenges
Powerful AbsOrbents
Offensive Breath and Stomach Gases
Cannot Exist When They Are Used.

Charcoal. by virtue Of its porous ma
ture, takes up gases mechanically lust
as a sponge takes up water Its ca
pacity in this respect Is in proportion

Charcoal made from poplar. beechwood
vegetable ivory. cocoanut shells. and
willow wood is a compact heavy sub
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 absolutely
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 ex-
cessive gas Of the stomach removing
intestinal iatus, and purifying foul
breath. Charcoal TO be effective against
gastric fatulence must be introduced
among the gases Of the stomach in the
same state as when fresh from the cru

How to Get Rid
of CataFrh.
A Simple, Safe, Reliable Way, and it
Costs Nothing to Try.

Those who suffer from catarrh know
its miseries. There is no need OF this
suffering. You can get rid OF II by a
simple safe. inexpensive home treatment
discovered by DR.. BlosSer. who for over
thirty-five years has been treating ca
tarrh successfully.
His treatment is unlike any other. II
Is not a spray, douche, salve, cream, or
inhaler, but Is a more direct and thor
ough treatment than any Of these. It
cleans out the head, nose. throat, and
lungs so that you can again breathe freely
and sleep without that stopped-up feeling
that all catarrh sufferers have. II heals
the diseased mucous membranes and ar
rests the foul discharge, so that you will
not be constantly blowing your nose and
splitting. and at the same time It does not
poison the system and ruin the stomach,
as internal medicines do.
II you want to test this treatment
without cost, send your address to DR..
J.. w. Biosser, 261 Walton street At
lanta, Ga, and he will send you by re-
turn mail enough OF the medicine to
satisfy you that It is all he claims for It
as a remedy for catarrh, catarrhal head
aches, catarrhal deafness, asthma, bron-
chitis, colds, and all catarrhal complica-
lions. He will also send you free an H.
lustrated booklet. Write him immedi-
ately.

Fig. 2 shows a model covered
with blue kid piped with white and
trimmed with a pair OF large white

Silk-covered hats hold the center OF
the stage, and those of moire and
corded silk most popular. One of
them is shown in Fig. 3. They are
to be found in all sorts of colors and
color combinations, but black and
white in this hat has outdistanced all
others in the race for popularity. The
model shown is of white moire faced
with black. Its trimming is a triple
ruche of box-plaited maline about the
crown and upper brim, and a crushed
tie of velvet finished with a knot at
the side. Such a model is the best OF
