Charcoal L0zengers
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 just
as a sponge takes up water. Its ca
pacity in this respect Is in proportion
10 the number and fneness OF its pores
Charcoal made from poplar, beechwood
vegetable ivory, cocoanut, shells and
willow wood is 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 IL is by far the most
powerful absorbent of all kinds OF
gases. Certain other woods. mentioned
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
excessive gas of the stomach, removing
intestinal hatus and purifying foui
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 effecting this
is 10 compress them into soluble loz-
enges, so that after being dissolved in
the mouth and swallowed the char
coal is set free" and at once begins
its work of oxidizing and absorbing
septic properties. OF purifying the en-
tire alimentary tract.
IL is definitely known that the abb
sorbent and cleansing action of char
coal is protracted and continued
through the intestinal system as well
as in the stomach, and il proves bene-
fetal there also.
In STUART'S CHARCOAL LOZENGES
we have a gas absorbing remedy which
readily takes precedence over all others.
The charcoal used in them is the very
best that can be obtained. They are
composed OF the finest young willow
wood, converted into charcoal by the
special, carboniZing Stuart Process, and
before being compressed into Lozenges
the powdered charcoal is rendered
sweet and thoroughly agreeable to the
taste by being mixed with pure honey.
and the result is a product equally as
palatable as candy.
Stuarts Charcoal Lozenges have at
tained 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 absorbents Of foul
stomach gases, relieving and curing
flatulence, belching, or the eructation
of gases, and finally in the publication
of offensive breath.

from your druggist for 20 cents and

Scores the Government

BILLINGS. Mont, Oct. 27.-The fea-
ture of the fourth and fifth sessions of
the fourth dry farming congress was
the speech of Louis w. Hill. president
of the Great Northern railway. His
talk this afternoon was devoted to a
showing of the results of the dry

while only 8 per cent got farms.
He said the people spent not less
than $12,000,000 in railroad fares and
while the Great Northern got its share,
he said that the money was not what
1t wanted.

Reading on Trains Makes Wrinkles
From time immemorial people have
bad for the eyes, and they accept the
fact, but continue the practice. The
pity of this, however, is not only that
that the facial muscles are made tense
in an effort to follow the printed words,
and are constantly shifting with the
movement of the train so the result is
crows feet and lines so deep they be-
come wrinkles.
Women who need glasses when read
ing or working should wear them. Per-
haps a pince-nez Is not becoming, but
neither are the involuntary facial con-
tortions made IN an effort to see
clearly When the prejudice is strong
against the use of glasses woman
may comfort herself by remembering
reading or working she need wear them
only when it is necessary to concen-
trate her sight. On the other hand,

EXTINCT POLITICAL SALONS.
Englishwomen More Interested in
Suffrage Than Party Politics.

From the London Sketch.
Every year at the opening of parlia-
ment there is rumor principally in the
weekly journals) of the political salons
which are to be opened and Of the am
bilious ladies who are to lead" during
the coming months. But this brave talk
is usually purely fantastic, for the session
goes by with the same routine of dreary
political receptions. at which the tag-rag
and bobtail OF the party in power walk
through the rooms of cabinet minister
wife, eat a sandwich and vanish into the
night. There is. as matter OF fact,
little or no feminine leading" nowadays,
and the only political salon which has
any popularity IS the bar Of the public
house round the corner. For some rea-
son or other too. the liberal ladies seem
to enjoy less prestige and to WELD less
influence than the ladies Of the Unionist
forces.
London has practically been without a
leading lady in the shape of the wife
OF a prime minister since the death of
the late Lady Salisbury. and 1t is far
cry indeed from the autocratic days of
Lady Palmerston. At present all the fem
mime brains and influence have naturally
turned to the issue of woman's franchise.
Once that question is settled the ladies'
will take up party politics again and will
enjoy a prestige which they have never
known before.
