Beauty and
Bad Breath
Cannot Go Together No Matter How a
Woman May Try to Make Them.

It does not matter how beautiful a wo-
man may be, II she Is afflicted with bad
breath she will be Stunned and pitIed by
men and even women will studious y avoid
her.
II any woman doubts this statement let
her make a point OF asking a friend in
whom she may confide, a man friend or
relative. If he be honest he will tell her
that foul breath from the mouth Of a wo-
man win drive men from her more rapidly
than any other personal affliction.
Foul breath arouses in man digust and
where this quality is brought into play
no amount OF self-denisl or reasoning can
overcome the natural repugnance which
comes to man when he is in company
with such a woman.
What is true of bad breath in woman is
not true in so great a degree in men. Wo-
men are looked upon as the incarnation
OF sweetness, breeding, virtue and efine
ment Foul breath will sicken a man so
that he cannot feel for such a woman a
eompanionship necessary to make him de-
sire to be in her company.
There is absolutely no occasion for bad
breath in either men or women. Charcoal,
the strongest absorbent known. when taken
into the stomach, will prevent this repug
nant tendency or affliction.
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges are sold in
tremendous quantities all over America and
Canada. They cure and have cured all
forms Of bad breath. A single box will
convince you Of this fact. One should eat
some of these lozenges after each meal anc
upon retiring. You might eat fifty Of them
without harm. They are not medicine, bu
pure willow charcoal mixed with sweet
honey 70 make them palatable and com.
pressed into a lozenge to preserve thelI
peculiar and lasting strength.
The next time you wish to go into com.
pany and don't want your foul breath &
humiliate you, eat several OF Stuart's Char.
coal Lozenges and your breath will b'
pure and sweet.

PERUNA EDITORIAL NO. l..

Dr. Hartman is now offering Peruna 70 the public as regular pharmaceu.
tcal product. ii Just as ethical as any compound put up for the medical
profession. No straining Of medical ethics can find any fault with it. THE
PRINCIPAL ACTIVE INGREDIENTS are prominently incorporated in the
labelo on the bottle that the people may know that the claims made for Peruna
have a true justification.
The only departure we shall make from medical ethics in the conduct of
PSuna affairs in the future, is the fact that we shall continue to advertise and
sell our product TO THE PEOPLE.
If we would agree to sell to doctors only, to advertise for doctors only,
then the medical fraternity would be obliged to recognize Peruna as being
entirely within their approval.
BUT WE SHALL NOT DO THIS
We shall continue to offer Peruna to the people. We shall continue to
convey to the people our claims for Peruna az a household remedy. We shall
continue to supply the people with free literature, teaching them how to use
our medicine, teaching them how to avoid disease, teaching them many things
Of benefit to the home. We shall continue to do this whether the medical
profession like it or not.
Notwithstanding that some imitators and substitutOrs will be attempting to
put up something which they consider Just as good as Peruna, we are going to
draw aside the veil o fsecrecy and allow any one who chooses to know exactly
OF WHAT PERUNA IS COMPOSED.
This ought to disarm all honest criticism. We expect however, that crit
icism will continue On some pretext or other those who 1T envOus of the

As to Omitted Property.

In an opinion handed down in the case
of the Chicago House WreCking company
against the city of Omaha the court holds
that a tax commissioner in a city may
place on the tax rolls property omitted by
him at the time OF the regular assessment,
placing upon the same the valuation fixed
by the reviewing board. the only require
ment being that he shall notify the prop
erty owner to appear and show cause why
such assessment should not be made. In
1899 the tax commissioner failed to place
the property of the plaintiff on the tax
rolls, which fact was discovered during
the sitting of the board of review. The
board placed the property on the rolls and
fixed its value at 10000 The tax commits
sioner then notified plaintiff of the action
taken and informed it that If 1t did not
appear and show cause why this valuation
should not stand It would remain as fixed
by the board. The court holds that while
the board of review had not the authority
to assess, the notice served by the tax
commissioner indicated his intention to
adopt the valuation made by the board
unless a showing against such assessment
should be made, and that his return of the
roll to the board with the assessment of
$4,000 was sufficient proof that ha had
adopted it as his own.

NO REHEARINC FOR FISHER
Verdict Of Years Disbarment for

ADDING TO ASSESSMENT ROLLS
Supreme Court Holds in Case from

Property Omitted by
Him.
fFrom a staff correspondents

From a Staff Correspondent
LINCOLN, Jan. ~9.-(Special Telegram.)-
The supreme court this morning refused a
rehearing in the case against Captain Allen
G.. Fisher Of Chadron, who was disbarred
for one year for presenting a fictitious
claim before the legislature. The action OF
the court means the disbarment sentence
will be carried out. The case arose out OF
a claim Fisher made to the legislature in
behalf of the heirs OF Herman Goedde,
whose estate escheated to the state. The
amount demanded was much larger than
the amount to which they were entitled.
State Auditor Barton has announced the
appointment Of John w. Tulleys as state
accountant to take the place Of e. M.
Fairfield. Tulleys is now a county treas
ury examiner and Mr.. Barton now has a
man under consideration to fill the vacancy
caused by his transfer.
Fences for Railroads.
A railroad company is not required to
enclose that portion of its right-of-way,
even outside of towns, villages, cities and
public highways, the enclosure of which,
by the construction Of fences and cattle
guards, would be an increased danger to
human life. This is the law as handed
down by the court today in the case of
Horace E.. Burnham against The Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy Railway company,
appealed from Lancaster county.
Must Have Contract.
II a broker takes a piece of realty for
sale and neglects to secure a written con-
tract providing for his compensation, he
cannot recover on quantum meruit for serv-
ices rendered, nor for the value Of the time
expended by him in making a sale. In
other words. 1t must be there in black and
white or he must hold the sack. This is
the law and it is reaffirmed in the case OF
Charles o.. Nelson against Orlando w. Web
