cellar will make foul air pure. Pure
willow charcoal mixed with honey are
the component parts of Stuart's Char
coal Lozenges and pure breath is the
result of their use after meals. Simply
dissolve two or three after meals and
at bed time and foul breath fees at

abuse of the stomach Stuart's Charcoal
Lozenges will stop gas making and
sweeten the breath.
They are perfectly harmless and the
eating of box would cause you no
inconvenience whatever
Charcoal is hard to prepare for the
stomach because 1t must be strong and

unless made palatable. Stuart's inim-
liable process presents charcoal to the

sired.

Shively does not win then it will be
Kern. He says the fight lies between
these two candidates and that l.. Ert
Slack has no chance whatever.
Slack is Confident.
On the other hand Slack is as con-
fident as any man could be. His con-
fidence is really refreshing. He says
there are members of the legislature
from many counties who are tied up
with instructions to vote for Kern or
for Lamb or for Shively or for some
other candidate and that they will
obey their instructions for ballot or
two and that they will then go to
Slack. They want to vote for him.
says Slack, even in the face OF their
instructions, and this, he says, makes
the situation look good to him.
While every effort has been made
on the part of all the candidates to
keep the old Taggart-anti-Taggart
fight from bobbing up in the race it
has made it's appearance, just the
same. all through the activity of the
breweries for certain candidates. The
breweries are not united on any one
candidate for senator. They are divid-
ed. Some favor Kern and others favor
Shively. Crawford Fairbanks, Of Ter
re Haute. for instance, is working for
Shively as second choice after John
e. Lamb, who, he knows, cannot be
nominated. On the other hand. JOS
eph e. Bell, of this city, brewery at
torney, is working tooth and toe nail
for Kern. and so are some others. And
Tom Taggart may talk all he pleases
about not taking part in the fight,
but there is every reason to believe
that he is out for Kern. II he was
not, then why should there be twenty
or more of the old time Taggart ward
workers mingling in the crowd at the
Denison hotel every day and night,
all talking Kern. They are men who
would not have a purpose OF their own
in doing this. and they are surely not
doing this work for the love OF their
country and the preservation of the
flag. Those who know them and who
have watched them believe that they
are under the direction OF Taggart.
Brewers Not Concerned.
So it looks like the brewers do not
care much whether the next United
States senator is Kern or Shively.
The one that shows the best in the
balloting and can hold his strength
longest will be the choice of the brew
ers. The other one will have to step
aside. Judge Shea said the fight was
between Kern and Shively. The fight
Is between Kern and Shively as far
as the support of the brewers is con-
cerned, but after one OF them has
stepped aside then the main fight, the
finish fight will still be between Slack
and the one that remains in the race.
OF course. developments between
now and Wednesday may knock this
all in cooked hat and upset every
thing that has been written about the
race. Even dark horse might step

the caucus got tied in knot. but as
things appear now it is still a horse
race between Kern and Slack
In their support of Kern the brew
ers are not showing that they have
any special interest in him or that he
Is their first choice-not by long
shot. But 1t only shows that they will
be satisfied with either Shively or
Kern, because, with the brewers, it is
anything to beat Slack.

YnrNGsrERs IN rNIEORMs.

It f. an interesting explanation
which The Dayton COhio) News
makes OF he somewhat singular fact
that forty-four years after the sur
render at Appomattox, there are to-
day so many survivors of the great
civil conflict
But the reason is this:
More than two millions of men
who bore the brult of the great
fight were under twenty-one years
of age
When we say. therefore, the boys
in blue" or the boys in gray" we
speak with the liberalism of sheer
truth.
For on both sides of the bloody
line it was verify the Logs who
supported the colors.
Some of them were snatched al
most from the bosom and put into
the crimson brccch.
And the disclosure of this fact
must add TO our conception OF pangs
which were endured at countless fire
sides by the sorrow-ladencd mothers
Of our Southland.
They were not only exposed to
the hazards and hardships which be-
longcd to an invaded territory. but
they were anxious for their babes
at the front of battle
Boys some of them under four
teen-who yesterday were galloping
on hobby horses in the nursery and
today were plunging on spirited
chargers into the sulphurous smoke!
But the mothers who bore them
belonged to the heroic brood of ola
Sparta
We are anxious to look upon the
monument which is to commemorate
the heroism of our Southern women
who, on the muster rolls of the Con-
Iederacy, were represented not Only
by their bearded champions, but by
their golden curly heads.
