NOW IN LIGHT TRAINING

San Francisco. January 16.-(special.)- When Jim Jeffries stepped off the Oakland boat on his arrival from Los Angeles this morning, to fill sparring engage ment at the Wigwam theatre, he had an inkling of what Is in store for him.
 "oh, you 5000 beauty shouted one newsboy
 Say. won't you fight Johnson, Jim?" yelled another.
 Jeffries smiled good-naturedly and had the bearing of a man who Is withholding secret from his tormentors.
 Jeffrles looks great after his one week. s exercise in Los Angeles. He intends to keep along with mild form of training, even though he is not prepared to say that there will be fight with Jack John son at the end of it.
 "I expected to do little roadwork while up here, but guess 1t will be too muddy" said Jeff. q will put in some time at handball and 1t will not be long before I will be in pretty fair condition
 "Did you box at all at Los Angeles"
 "No. I have not have had on box ing glove for years and I am not going to rehearse with Sam Bernard. as some folks seem to think. When I get on the Wigwam stage tomorrow I will incase my hands in gloves for the first time since my retirement. I am feeling first rate. I have cut out cigars and highballs and am going to take good care of myself.
 Asked pointblank If he had changed his mind at all as to accepting the offer of a contest with Johnson, Jeffries said he had not. He said this with a smile and all those who heard him formed the opinion that sooner or later Jim will an- nounce his readiness to tackle the big negro. It will all depend on the way light exercise and stage bouts agree with him.

In the form of a proclamation to the several clubs of the Southern league, Judge Kavanaugh has made statement as to what was done at the recent meet ing of the national commission, and what effect, nj his opinion, such action will have on the Southern league.
 Judge Kavanaugh holds that the league will remain as it has always been, and that the effect of the new rules, laws and regulations will amount to nothing from a practical standpoint. In some re- spects, indeed, he thinks the Southern league has been benefited.

Charcoal Removes
 Stomach Poisons
Pure Charcoal Will Absorb One Hun- dred Times It's Volume In
 Poisonous Gases.

Charcoal was made famous by the old monks of Spain, who cured all manner of stomach, liver, blood and bowel trou- bles by this simple remedy.
 One little nervous Frenchman held forth its virtues before a famous convention of European physicians and surgeons. Secheyron was his name. He was odd. quaint and very determined. His broth CTS in medicine laughed at his claims. Thereupon he swallowed two grains of strvchnine. enough to kill three men, and ate some charcoal. The doctors thought him mad, but he did not even nave to go to he'd. The charcoal killed the effects of the strychnine and Secheyron was famous. Ever since that day physlcians have used it. Run impure water through charcoal and you have a pure, delicious drink.
 Bad breath, gastrtis, bowel gases, tor pid liver, impure blood, etc., give way before the action of charcoal.
 It is really a wonderful adjunct to na- ture and is a most inexhaustibe store house of health to the man or woman who suffers from gases or impurities or any kind
 Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges are made of pure willow charcoal, sweetened to a palatable state with honey.
 Two or three of them cure an ordinary case of bad breath. They should be used after every meal, especially if ones breath is prone to be impure.
 These little lozenges have nothing to do with medicine. They are just sweet, fresh willow, burned to nicety for char coal making and fragrant honey, the product of the bee Thus every ingre- dlent comes to man from the lap of na- ture.
 The only secret lies in the Stuart pro- cess of compressing these simple sub stances into hard tablet or lozenge, 50 that age, evaporation or decay may not assail their curative qualities.
 You may take as many of them as you wish and the more you take the quicker will you remove the effects of bad breath and impurities arising from a decayed or decaying meal. They assist digestion, purify the blood and help the intestines and bowels throw off all waste matter. z Go to your druggist at once and buy package of Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges, price 25 cents. You will soon be told by your friends that your breath is not SO bad as it was. Send us your name and address and we will send you trial backage by mail frse Address F. A.
