sixty-acre tract of land will be used.

Wonderful Absorbing
Power OF Charcoal
One Hundred Times Its Own Volume
In Gases Rapidly Absorbed BY 1t.

One Hundred Times Its Own Volume
In Gases Rapidly Absorbed BY It.
AS a reliable remedy for stomach
gases and intestinal f1atulence, char
coal is without a peer More than a
century ago French physician dis
covered the marvellous absorbing
powers possessed by charcoal, and he
experimental with it very extensively
until he finally ascertained that char
coal made from willow wood possessed
inal properties than that made from
any other wood
Charcoal is a black, shining, brittle,
porous, inodorous substance, insoluble
in water. 1t possesses to wonderful
degree the remarkable property Of alb
sorbing many times its own bulk in
any and all gases, condensing and re-
tanning them within itself. In addi-
! ton to this, charcoal is disinfectant
and antiseptic, and is used with great
! advantage in all cases of stomach and
| intestinal arrangement, constipation,
diarrhoea, dysentery cholera morbus
and true cholera, and the toxins which
these conditions bring about in the
alimentary system, are completely de-
stroyed by its use.
| DR.. Belloc recommended it strongly
in gastralgia, as it abates the pain,
nausea and vomiting from the func-
tionally diseased stomach; while as a
| remedy for obstinate constipation, DR..
Daniel speaks of it in the highest
terms. 1t has the advantage over other
laxatives of acting mildly, though eff
| ficiant1v instnaH nf lxy mr.
| harmfully
Until the exclusive process by which
STUARTS CHARCOAL LOZENGES
are made, was discovered, people who
suffered from stomach troubles, fatu-
lence and offensive breath, were &C
customed to use ordinary powdered
charcoal, which is extremely disagree
able to the taste, and many persons
after trying it once, could not be in
| duced to resume using it.
Since the Stuart Company perfected
| their process of combining pure will
| low charcoal with sweet, palatable
honey, all objections to the use of this
powerful absorbent have been removed
and thousands of persons who were
annoyed with stomach gases, bad
breath rumbling noises in the in
testinal system, constipation, diarrhoea
liver torpor, ETC., have voluntarily
| testified that not only do they find
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges extremely
agreeable to the taste, and all that
could be desired in that respect, but
they also obtained complete relief
| from the aforementioned diseases
after many other medicinal agents
previously tried, had failed completely
If you are suffering from any OF
these annoying complaints, you cannot
| do better than to give this remedy g
thorough trial, as relief from such
troubles is absolutely assured. But be
sure you get the genuine, as there are
many limitations on the market, in
ferior in quality, and altogether worth

CAUSE OF DISEASE FOUND.
"PclIagra'' Due to Bad Corn. Say Hos
pitaI Physicians.

Washington. Aug. 2S.-The appearance of
a disease. which has been diagnosed by
the public health and marine hospital SER
vice as ''pellagra,'' is being used as
basis for sensational articles attacking
corn as food. Pellagra is a disease COM
mon to European countries, where it is
often caused by the use of moldy
otherwise spoiled corn.
The public health service seems to have
demonstrated that the strange malady
commonly regarded a skin disease is in
fact pellagra. The service is not prepared
to announce that the disease in every in
stance is due to the use of moIdy or spoil
ed corn as food In an asylum at Peoria,
and at other places in Illinois the disease
has been found. 1t causes peeling of the
skin, and while not contagious. is wasting,
and unless cured will exhaust the patient
in time.
Should it be discovered that sufficient
grounds exist to issue a general warning
against the of moldy otherwise
spoiled corn that will be done, and the de-
partment of agriculture will cooperate to
the extent of compelling the destruction
of corn unfit for human consumption.

FOOD EXPERTS MEET.
To Attend Convention of Dairy Conn
missioners at Denver.

Denver, Aug. 23.-Secretary of
Agriculture, James Wilson, Dr. H w.
Wiley, chief chemist of the depart
ment of agriculture, and food experts
from almost every state in the union
were present today to attend the
opening tomorrow of the national
convention of pure food and dairy
commissioners. The old fight over
benzoate of soda is to be overshadowed
by the question as to whether state
or federal government ought to reg
ulate food laws. 1t is the contention
of some delegates that the model
state law as framed by Commits
sioner E. F. Ladd. of South Dakota,
ought to prevail.
"The federal law has been adopted
to give uniformity" said Secretary
Wilson. in an interview.
Twenty-Five states have adopted
the federal law without material
change The way to get a model law
is not to undo what has been DONE
but to change the federal laws where
defects are found"
George McCabe, solicitor of the de-
partment of agriculture, contends
that to change the federal law for the
Ladd Model law would be unwise.
The Ladd followers assert that the
federal law is not suitable for the
needs of all the states.
