Proof That
Charcoal Will
Absorb impurities
Many People Are Not "From Missouri"
But They Like to be Shown. A
Simple Yet Effeciual Test
for Charcoal

Frequently people like to know if an
article will do all that is claimed for it,
and we agree with these people, for 1t is
perfectly right that they should know.
The F. A. Stuart Co. has gone to con-
siderable expense TO perfect some sim
pie method by which it could be con-
yincingly proven that their Charcoal
Lozenges possessed all the medicinal
qualities claimed for them, and herein
print simple yet effective proof.
Take anything which emits an OBJ
noxious odor and place it in some con-
venient place, say in a box or sonle-
thing that can be easily covered. Then
pulverize sufficient of Stuarts Charcoal
caying or odious matter. Care must be
taken that the pulverized charcoal COM
pletely envelops whatever the odor Is
coming from. 1t win be immediately
noticed that there will be no odor; the
charcoal will absorb positively all the
odor, and should you make the test
with a piece of meat or something that
decays rapidly, complete disintegration
win take place without the slightest
trace of an odor noticeable.
This is proof positive that Stuarts
Charcoal Lozenges will eliminate doors
and insure the user clean, sweet
breath. While the general improve
nent in the health and action of the
stomach and bowels. will be sufficient
to convince the most skeptical.
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges are for
sale everywhere, 25 cents box, guar
anteed to contain nothing but young
willow wood charcoal ana pure honey;

Once Worked in Rrockton

BROCKTON, Mass, March 20.-Dan-
iel Driscoll, who was reported last
night to be in care of the Los Angeles
authorities after long mental lapse,
was employed by the New England
Telephone and Telegraph company in
Brockton about five years ago. but
the date of his leaving here has not
been ascertained by the police. Eff
forts to find a son with whom Driscoll
lived in this city had not proved sue
cessful up to late this afternoon.
Later Joseph A. Driscoil, young
man employed by local caterer, re-
ported to the police the belief that the
sick man at Los Angeles is his father,
from whom he said he had not heard in
three years. The father. Driscoll said,
had been Wanderer from his early
manhood.
A fall and subsequent sunstroke had
aggravated this tendency, the son says,
so that the fathers whereabouts were
seldom known to those at home. Mrs.
Driscoll, wife of the man now in Los
Angeles, is an invalid living here with
her son-in-law. Mr.. Driscoll today adj
vised the police that with his financial
burdens he was not in a position to
bring his father back to Brockton.

HAVE PLEDGERS
AT THEIR MERCY
HAWLEY'S CONVICTION MAY
AID IN REFORM
HAS ACCUMULATED FORTUNE
FROM LOAN OFFICE
Deputy District Attorney Says Written
Contract in Vogue Places Bor-
rowers in Helpless
Position

That the trial and conviction of +. K.
HaWley, paWnbroker, on a charge or
cmbezzlement, will do much to put q
stop to the peculiar methods of doing
business said to prevail among a large
percentage OF that class of money lend
ers is the belief of John North, deputy
district attorney, who conducted the
prosecution in the superior court.
Hawley'S sentence was set for yes
terday A continuance of one week
was granted, however. by Judge Willie
in order that an appeal might be per-
fected. Hawley is reputed to be worth
5000, the greater part OF which was
accumulated in his loan Office in the
Stimson block. In May of last year he
loaned Miss Isabel Williams. a tourist
from Chicago, $S5, the woman placing
q diamond ring valued at $3.50 in his
keeping as security. The interest was
per cent month, eompounded.
According to Miss Williams, when she
demanded the return Of her ring a
month later, offering the required sum
for its redemption, Hawley told her she
could have the ring only by paying
$40. A further appeal was made, ano
she was informed that the ring was
lost, Miss Williams appealed to the
police and an investigation was begun
James Hosick of the city detective
force being detailed on the case. This
resulted in return of the ring to Miss
williams on 10 per cent basis. and
Hawiey's arrest followed.
The pawnbroker refused to regard
his position seriously until he was held
to answer to the superior court. He
was convicted of embezzlement by a
july in Judge Willis court Thursday.
Similar Practices Common
Methods used by Hawley are being
practiced by many other pawnbrokers
in Los Angeles, and the reason nothing
is done in these cases is because the
persons who suffer refrain from bring
ing the matter to the attention of the
proper authorities" said Mr.. North yes
terday. These men depend for protec-
tion chiefly on a printed contract, BY
the terms of which person who has
placed goods in their hands cannot re-
cover except practically at the will Of
the custodian. Every right of the own
err according to the contract, is waived
and no way of redress Is provided The
trial of Hawley and the results Of the
investigation incident to it may result
in further probing into the conduct Of
other establishments"
