MOORE ESCAPES
 ANNISTON JAIL Leaves Interesting Messages
 For The Officers ADMITS MANY CRIMES Says He Is Wanted In Several States and That If Officers Get Hlm They Will Have To Cross
 the Pond"
ADMITS MANY CRIMES

Anniston, February 17-(Special )-G. T. Moore, who has been doing service on the city streets for stealing a mileage book and a ticket punch from the rail- road ticket office at the union passenger station early this year. tunneled out of his cell at the city prsion, probably early last night, and entering another cell, un- locked the door and boldly walked out and away. He has gone where the woodbne twineth andnthe sparrow cometh home to buildi'
 Before taking his departure Moore in- dicated on the wall of his cell the follow Ing data: Entered January Is, 1909 Es- capped February 16 19O9." He also wrote in a bold hand lot of poetic stuff pe- culiar to gamblers on the wall of his cell just below the first mentioned data about his entering and departing from the prison. Besides this he left on his bed letter addressed to the city and state authorities, in which he makes an awful indictment against himself by his frank admissions and pleads guilty as an all- round crook. Here is the letter:
 Well 1 guess you all thought you had me to the good, but a few brains goes long way. Now 1t is up to me to leave this country for good. They have 16 charges against me in Georgia, seven in Alabama and thus likewise in Kentucky. South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennes- see, Florida and Mississippi, so you see 1t pays to leave the United States and cross the pond. Now, if you get me, that is where it will be, Moore and several other names. The way 1 am escaping is through the woman's cell 1 have key to fit that lock Yours, MOORE
 Asied from the admissions made by Moore himself in the above letter as to his peculations, the evidence has been accommodating since his arrest for the theft of the mileage book that he was an all round crook. He has a good face and is well connected His father who lives at AS Crew street, Atlanta, Is widely known as a commercial traveller and is held in the highest esteem.
 1t has just recently become known that by taking advantage of his fathers ac- quaintance with the management of the City Hardware company, that young Moore succeeded in defrauding the com pany out of SIS by securing it's indorse- ment of a fraudulent draft
 Letters in the city show that he had defrauded by similar means quite num- Der of business concerns in all parts of the country, pretending to be the travelling representative of the Little River Mills company of Woodstock Ga. Among those who have fallen victims to his peculations are the Magil Hardware Go. of Chatta- nooga, Terune X Nixon of Rome, Bon durant & Co. of Athens, Ga, the Spartan burg Hardware Co. of Spartanburg, s. C., and others in all parts of the country. Indeed, it appears that Moore had de- frauded different parties out of such sums as to amount to several hundred dollars.

Made Pure and Sweet By the Use of
 Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges.

 Do not go among your friends with a breath so odious as to make your pres ence distasteful. Foul breath is capable of easy removal if you will take a little time to overcome it. Generally foul breath comes from one of two causes, impure gases or foul digestive fluids.

 little charcoal in bed room or cellar will make foul air pure. Pure willow charcoal mixed with honey are the com ponent parts of Stuart's Charcoal Lozen- ges and pure breath is the result of their use after meals. Simply dissolve two or three after meals and at bed time and foul breath fees at once. No matter how you cause these gases, whether by bad food. alcohol or abuse of the stomach Stuarts Charcoal Lozenges will stop gas making and sweeten the breath.
 They are perfectly harmless and the eating of box would cause you no in- convenience whatever.
 Charcoal Is hard to prepare for the stomach because 1t must be strong and pure and most people will not take it unless made palatable. Stuarts inimit- able process presents charcoal to the taste and system in all the nicety de- sired.
 Choice virgin willow Is burnt into de- srable charcoal, this is mixed with pure honey and the combination is compressed under tremendous power into lozenge of great pleasantness and efficiency
 Don't let your bad breath make peo- pie cross the street to avoid you; go to the nearest drug store and buy box of Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges today and eat what you will Two or three after the meal will sweeten your breath at once. If you want proof of this fact send us your name and address and we will send you trial package by mail free Address F A. Stuart Co.,. 200 Stuart bldg, Marshall, Mich.
