EVENTUAL TRIP
IN AN AUTOMOBILE
Party Had Much Trouble Between
keokuk and Carthage Last Sat
urday Evening.

Friends of Roy King and ]. d. Ecker
the well known automobiles OF the
city report the two gentlemen as
having quite an eventful trip in going
from Keokuk to Carthage last Satur--
day evening.
When the party, which was compos-
ed of four, reached that part Of the
road short distance from Elvaston
the machine ballsed and refused to
go further until the gasoline tank was
replenisiaed. This stunt necessitated
walk of more than mile to the
home of DR.. Runyan, but soon the
car was under way again.
Difficulty was again encountered
upon the return trip while coming
back across the Keokuk and Hamilton
bridge. The car stopped for the sec
ond time from some unknown cause
and the chauffeur was in dilemma
as to what course to persue.
Finally the two gentlemen decided
to push the car over the bridge SO as
not to delay traffic, although at that
hour of the night there was little do
ing.
After pushing the car across the
bridge they managed to get home, but
how, it has not been learned.

He Suggest the Building Of Locks and

Millions, or as Much as
Panama Canal Costs.
ADDRESS AT SAINT LOUIS
Talked From an Engineering Stand
point on the Proposed Perman-
ent Deep Channel in the
Mississippi River.


Lyman e. Cooley of Chicago, water
way engineer, in an address before
the Business Mems league at the
Southern Hotel luncheon, at st. Louis,
explained in detail the feasibility Of
the 14-foot channel from the lakes to
the gulf, from an engineering stand
point. He estimated the cost Of deep
ening the Mississippi and upper trib-
utaries at $500,000,000, the present
cost of the Panama canal, and out
lined a system of levees, locks and
dams and dredging by which the pro-
ject might be realized.
Mr. Cooley, who has just returned
from an inspection of the European
waterways, gave a most interesting
and practical waterway talk.
The league adopted a resolution in
dorsing the, Mississippi Valley Trans
portation Company, headed by w. K.
Kavanaugh, president of the Lakes-to-
the-Gulf Deep Waterway Association,

Charcoal The
Great absorbent
Absorbs and Removes Stomach and
Intestinal Gases and Makes
The Breath Pure.

The able researches of DR.. STEM
mouse, published about the middle OF
the last century, excited considerable
interest n charcoal and its wonderful
absorbing powers His experiments
were directed to the deodorizing, as
well as the absorbing qualities OF
charcoal, and he succeeded in pro-
viding pey cnd all question or doubt,
that its properties of destroying the
offensive 0lors OF purtid vegetable
and AM nal matter, depended not
alone, upon its antiseptic power as
mad been generally supposed thereto
fore, but also on its quality of alb
sorbing and oxidizing effluvia or nox-
ious eXn alations from the putrefy-
ing matters.
Many other noted physicians have
since that time investigated this alb
sorbent and oxldizing action, and one
of them, DR.. Hunter, has also publish
ed an account OF his experiments
showing tie relative amount OF the
various gases taken up by the differ
ent kinds OF charcoal.
Both Stenhouse and Hunter expert
mented with charcoal made from pop
lar, boXwood, cocoanut shells, willow
wood and various other woods, and
they foInd that charcoal made from
willow wood possessed by far the most
power of absorbing. deodorizing, oxi-
dizing and destroying foul gases. II
may be added here that animal char
coal, which is employed so extensive
ly as decolorizing agent, is very in
ferior to wood charcoal as an absorb
cant and deodorant.
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges are COM
posed of charcoal made from the fin
est willoH wood, the very best of all
woods that can be used for this pur-
pose. The addition of pure honey To
these lozenges renders them so pala-
table that no one can possibly object
to their taste.
When they are taken into the stom-
ach they do not lie inert and inactive
but get busy at once in the good work
OF absorbing and oxidizing all foul
gases destroying disease germs, pre-
venting the further formation of gases
