Charcoal Lozenges
Powerful Absorbenis
Offensive Breath and Stomach
Gases Cannot Exist When
They Are Used.

Charcoal. by virtue Of its porous nature.
takes up gases mechanically just as a
sponge takes up water. Its capacity III
this respect Is In proportion to the number
and 1neness OF its pores. Charcoal made
from poplar, beeehwood, vegetable ivory,
cocoanut shells and willow-wood. is a COM
pact, heavy substance. having a metallic
iustre. the pores being quite invisible.
Chemical tests of various kinds per-
formed by expert chemists have revealed
the fact that charcoal made from willow
wood is not only absolutely harmless, but
that It is by far the most powerful abb
sorbent OF all kinds Of gases. Certain
other woods, mentioned above, are used
by some maJufacturers In making chercoai.
and besides not being half as effective in
absorbing stomach-gases, have also been
found to be positively harmful to tho di-
gestlve system.
Willow wood charcoal Is, then, the very
best for the purpose of absorbing excessive
gas OF the stomach, removing Intestinal
tatus, and purifying foul breath. Charcoal
to be effective against gastric hatulence
must be introduced among the gases of
the stomach in the same state as when
fresh from the crucible. The means of ef-
fecttng this is TO compress them into soht-
ble lozenges, so that after being dissolved
In the mouth and swallowed, the charcoal
is set free" and at once begins It's work
OF oxidlzlng aud absorbing foul gases. and
also, through its a%utlseptic properties OK
purifying the entire alimentary tract.
1t Is definitely known that the absorbent
and cleansing action OF charcoal is pro-
traeted aud continued through the intestinal
system as well as In the stomach, and 1t
proves beneficial there also.
In STUARTS CHARCOAL LOZENGES
We have Il gas-absorblDg remedy which
readily takes precedence over all others.
The charcoal used in them Is the very
best that can be obtained. They are conf
posed OF the finest young w~illow-wood, con-
yerted into charcoal by the special. car
bombing Stuart Process, and before being
compressed into Lozenges, the powdered
charcoal il rendered sweet and thoroughly
agreeable to the taste by being mixed with
pure honey, and the result Is q product
equally as palataDle as candy.
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges have at
tanned 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 abb
sorbents OF foul stomach-gases, relieving
aud curing fatulence, belching. or the
eructation of gases, and finally in the puri-
fcation Of offensive brea tb.

CROWD IS SLIM
At REPUBLICAN
MONTCLA|R MEET
Colonel Colgate Says Absent Cit.
liens Should Be Ashamed
of Themselves.

The rally of Montclair Republicans
held in Unity Hall last night was dis
appointing to those who attended the
meeting and to the speakers who add
dressed It. It was called to order by
George w. De Cunhs, who presided.
The speakers were Duane E. Minard,
of East Orange: Harold A. Miller, OF
Belleville, candidates for the Assembly:
Thomas P. Aiworth. Thomas p. Nc
Glynn. candidate for councilman in the
Fourth ward, and Colonel Sutherland,
OF Jersey City.
Colonel Colgate expressed his sur
prise at the slim attendance and said
hat Montclair Republicans should "be
ashamed of themselves"
THE primary fight has passed into
history and l am here to speak for the
clean, good men that have been placed
on the Republican ticket" declared the
colonel. MANY important issues are
coming up at the next session Of the
Legislature and we want the Repub.
licans to handle them. We have fought
arhon ourselves and now We are better
friends than ever. We have our pro-
gressive ideas as strongly as ever, but
we believe we can accomplish more
from the Republicans than we can from
the Democrats"
The Assembly candidates announced
the platform on which they stood and
pledged themselves that while they con-
sidered the direct primary law a good
thing they would not vote for its ex
tension until the present law was vel
tried out.
Colonel Sutherland said among other
things that II trouble with the Re
publican party was that 1t had no boss;
everybody was boss.
IT wish we had one of our old Bosses
back again." he mourned.
Surrogate George f.. Russell. who was
down as the principal speaker, failed
to show up. and the meeting adjourned
at 10 o'clock.

FRED. S. GARv|N
CONSENTS TO RUN
AGAINST EPPSTE|N
Hot Contest Coming in East Or
ange for Republican School
Board Member.

The question of a site for the pro-
posed new high school for East Or
ange has come to a head in Republic
can ranks. At a meeting of citizens
of the Third Ward in Terry Parker's
home, North Walnut street, last night,
it was decided to oppose the candi-
dacy OF Jacob NJ. Eppstein for school
commissioner. Frederick s. Garvin, a
law partner of Judge James B. Dill,
is the man selected to make the u n
ming.
This will be the only real fight In
East Orange. What, makes the situa-
lion all the more Interesting is the
fact that Garvin's supporters were the
strongest for Eppstein at the primar-
les. II Is expected to be n of the
most bitterly fought contests ever de-
cided for the school board. There are
four districts in the ward, and in two
of these there are voting machines
Mr.. -Garvin's name will be placed on
these while pastors will be used in
the two remaining districts.
The whole trouble came about
through E%ppstein's insistence that the
proposed high school be erected or
property on North Parkway. This
question came up about three months
ago and Eppstein introduced a resolu-
ton that the board secure the Park
way property. Commissioners Crater
and Robinson, however, we're against
the site, which they claimed was in
the lowland and out of the way.
According to the Third warders the
board is willing to pay s1,500 for each
Of the three strips of land, which they
claim Is above the price listed on a
real estate agents register. They
favor North Walnut street.
In an effort to get all of the voters
out the Garvin supporters will furnish
automobiles and carriages galore. Gar
vim consented to run only under X
IRENE pressure by his friends.

PARTY PICKERING
IN WEST ORANGE
Compares Present Disturbance
with Non.P Partisan Calm of
Other Days.

Former Town Counsel Simeon H..
Robinson talked on present municipal
conditions at d meeting in the
Pleasantdale Public School, West Or
ange, last night. He c~ontrasted the
chickering's of the present with the old
conditions in the town government
when the Republicans and Democrats
stood on a no~n-partisan platform.
In the old days of the non-partisan
government the men seeking Office
stood upon their own responsibility
and ability, and In those days there
was no thought OF corruption or graft"
said Mr.. Robinson. You can COM
pare the old conditions with last years,
campaign, when corruption was limited
at by the speakers. l believe the Re-
publican o~fflce-holders are perfectly
honest and well-meaning men, and tho
present bad administration of affairs
is due to the poison of party politics
and the ignorance and inexperience of
the ofice-holders.
The present administration has
caused harm TO the town in several
ways. First. by the issuance of the
bonds Of 100000 and the failure to
state what the bonds represented. They
tried to make it appear that the bonds
were to cover appropriations which had
been exceeded. while In reality the
bonds stood for the new Greenhouses,
the town hall, a part of the sewer sys-
tenn cost which had not been bonded
and many street improvements. Instead
of covering a floating debt, as their
w Ids implied. every cent of the money
was represented in brick and concrete
and stone n steel, but the impression
given out to the public was bad for the
towns credit and the statement never
should have been made in that way.
"Take the tax rate. When the ad-
ministration found that they could not
make the rate required by law they
advertised that fact to the world and
gave the impression that the town was
bankrupt, when in reality West Orange
is In first-class financial condition, but
| they did not know 1t. They simply
| failed to consider apparent assets.
1.-THE important thing to consider is
the tax bills, which show al increased
valuation In town ratables II eigh-
teen points increase in the tax rate.
This is In spite of the $4,000 additional
revenue from the saloons and the drop
ping from the original budget of $40,
900 at the last moment. Take your
bills and examine them closely. then
compare the figures with last years
amounts. You will then be able to
consider what kind of service the new
administration has given you; h II
has cost and~whether you r willing
TO trust them with another years
trial."

OCONNOR
WHEN He TRIES
TO BAIT FLINT
West Orange Republicans Re.
fuse Floor to Democratic Tax
Collector at Meeting.

Although warned by, W. J. Smith.
chairman of a meeting held last night
by the Republicans of West orange in
the auditorium of the West Orange
High School, that he would brook no
Interruptions to the speakers for the
evening. Frank A. O'Connor. West Or
n g Tax Collector, interrupted Mayor
Walter A. Flint. who was criticizing
the in which Mr.. OConnor
conducted the office of tax collector.
Mr.. O'Connor. however. was not al
lowed the privilege of the floor, and
he, with about fifty followers, left the
hall amid much excitement
The meeting was we'll attended, and
was addressed by both local and coun-
ty candidates, including Duane e. Min
ard, Coleman T.. Nissan, Surrogate
Russell. Mayor Flint and three or four
local men. Surrogate Russell entered
in the midst of Mayor Flint's remarks,
and the Mayor gave way to him. MIR.
Russell explained hat he was trying
to speak at thirteen meetings during
the evening. He entreated his hearers
to do all In their power to place Re-
publicans in the Assembly.
Mayor Flint went at great length into
the work of the Republicans In the
Town Council for the past year and
promised oven more efficient work II the
Republicans should carry the Office OF
tax collector and town clerk, now held
by Democrats.
The Mayor then told of the errors in
the accounts OF the tax collector as dis
-lAoal A.r thn at,Aitnt-'g rRanrt mud N
was when he declared that Mr.. O'Con-
nor had charged J.. H. Cassidy 500 toe
much that Mr.. O'Connor arose and
asked for the floor, which vas denied
him by Chairman Smith.
"I intend to conduct this meeting
without interference shouted Mr.
Smith. II am chairman, and / will an.
nounce the speakers"
Mr.. O'Connor then left the room and
the Mayor continued.
"If I did not tell you of the condition
of the tax collectors department I would
be a poor executive" he averred, "foi
1 find here a man who is making mis-
takes one way and another. We dom
want that kind, Of a man in office"
Mr.. O'Connor said after the meet.
ing:
Mayor Flint was willing to ALLOW
his hearers to remain under the i'm
preston when he brought up the sub
ject of a 800 error in the tax of j, ii
Cassidy, that it really was a shortage
on my part, when actually 1t was al
error upon the part of the late w. M
williams, then tax collector, in credit
ing the town with 800 OF his owl
money; in other words, the charge TO
taxes on books OF West Orange agains
the Cassidy estate made by me at tina
time assessor. was s202, while the col
lector entered in his books the sun
of 1902, thereby putting down 800 more
than the man owed.
1.-THE Mayor is grossly ignorant o
facts which he should possess himsel'
of before making a campaign speecl
or is willing to descend to methods
beneath the notice n deserving o
the utter contempt of decent men, ant
then his chairman will not permit tn
accused mar the privilege of the foo
in his W defense"
