Proof That

A Simple Yet Efectual Test
for Charcoal.

Frequently people like TO know IL an

and We agree with these people for it
is perfectly right that they should
know. The F. A. Stuart Co. has gone
to considerable expense to perfect some
simple method by which it could be
convtncingly proven that their Char
coal LOzenges possessed all the me-
dicinal qualities claimed of them. and
herein print a simple yet effective
proof.
Take anything which emits an OBJ
noxious odOr and place IL in some con-
venient place, say in box or some
thing that can be easily covered. Then
pulverize sufficient of Stuart's Char
coal Lozenges TO completely cover the
decaying or odious matter. Care must
be taken that the Pufverized charcoal
completely envelops whatever the OdOr
is coming from. 1t will be immediate
ly noticed that there will be no Odor:
the charcoal will absorb positively all
the odor and should you make the test
decays rapidly complete disintegra-
tion will take place without the slight
est traces of an odor noticeable.
This is proof positive that Stuart 3

p Wheelan- of San Francisco succeeded
today in passing without opposition
three dangerous bills which would put
defendants in possession of all the evil

The bills provide that a stenographic
report must be made of all testimony
taken by the grand jury and that a
copy must be furnished each defend

coming laws the district attorney
would find himself seriously handi-
capped. as the defense would be in pos

the evidence before the grand jury. as
a result of which the district attorney
was handicapped, but Wheelan quickly

vicious bill granting disgruntled sa-
loonmen, policemen and nremen the
right to appeal to the superior court
from the action of the police and the
fire commissions passed the assembly
today with 4S votes. in spite of the ef-
forts of Henry n. Beatty of San Fran
cisco, who pointed out the dangerous
features of the bill.
Macauley and d. J. Beban, both of
San Francisco, bent every effort to
pass the bill. They traded and pledged
wherever they could and so passed on
to the senate the task of killing the
measure. Senator Tom Finn has a
companion bill on the senate file, for
which he will try to substitute the
measure passed through the assembly
by his creature Macauley.
In advocating the bill Maca uley cIev-
eriy mentioned the fact that such a
bill would afford relief in cases similar
to the one in which Captain Mooney
was removed by former Chief OF Police
Dinan. When Kehoe asked whether or
not the bill applied to the board OF
supervisors. the author said 1t did not
but Beatty insisted that it did.
ITO my notion this. is the most
vicious bill that has come before the
legislature this season." said Beatty,
who then insisted that the bill would
not only apply to the proceedings OF
police and fire boards. but also to
boards of supervisors, city councils and
other boards.
After the vote had been announced
Beatty started to give notice OF motion
to reconsider and thus delay the bill
for a day, but he decided to let it go
TO the senate, where he believes it will
be killed.
