Charcoal Purifies
Any Breath
And In Its Purest Form Has Long
Been Known AS the Greatest
Gas Absorber.

Pure willow charcoal will oxidize AL
most any odor and render it sweet and
pure. A painful in a foul cellar will abb
sorb deadly fumes, for charcoal absorbs
one hundred times its volume in gas.
The ancients knew the value of char
coal and administered it in cases of i'll
ness, especially pertaining to the stom-
ach. In England today charcoal poul-
tices are used for ulcers. boils, etc
while some physicians in Europe claim
TO cure many skin diseases by covering
the afflicted skin with charcoal powder.

once into oxygen, absorb ~noxious gases
and acids and when swallowed mix
with the digestive juices and stop gas
making, fermentation n decay.
By their gentle qualities they control
.beneficially bowel action and stop diar-
rhoea and constipation.
Bad breath simply cannot exist when
charcoal is used. There are no ifs or
ands about this statement. Don't take
our word for it. but look into the mat
ter yourself. Ask your druggist or
physician, or better still, look up char
coal in your encyclopaedia. The beauty
of Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges is that
the highest pharmaceutical expert
knowledge o~btainable has been used to
prepare a lozenge that win give to man
the best form of charcoal for use.
Pure willow n honey is the result.

Xe Who Scott at Love and Romance
Read of the Light That Mever Failed
One of History's Sweetest
Stories in Heart Story OF
Artist and Sweetheart.

r n this day of impetuous wooings,
hasty marriages and speedy di-
vorces a true love romance serves
to make US murmur tritely that truth
is indeed stranger than fiction. Take,
for instance, the case of Henry Single
ton Bisbing. artist, and Amelia Coryell
Bisbing, his cousin, who have been con
slant sweethearts for forty-two years.
though most of that time they've been
separated.
If you should read their story in a
magazine you would say, What a
charming tale. but how utterly i'm
probable" Yet the two principal char
acters are very much alive, and jus
now are busily preparing to enact the
final chapters before they settle down
to live happily ever after, on a minia-
ture farm in Connecticut.
Long years ago, when the two first
discovered that they were sweethearts.
for they are cousins, and had known
each other all their lives, Bisbing was
a young and struggling artist, fighting
to achieve both love and ambition.
You mast win your way before YOU
think of me- declared the young girl,
positively, full of pride in him and his
ability, At last she convinced him, and
ne sailed away to study in the art
schools of Europe, to win a name worth
while while in her little home. at 1885
Market street, Philadelphia, the girl
passed from youth to middle age and
from middle age to-only in years, NV
Feaders-her heart is as young as it
was the lay he sailed, and now he's
BACK again, with the cross of the Legion
or Honor to convince her of how hard
he worked and how true he was to his
trust.
And they are happy, r~idiculously
happy declares Miss Bisbing, for folks
as old as they. Before long the
little Connecticut farm will be a reality.
ana true VIII come at least one dream
OF the kind the poets sing about. To-
day Henry Singleton Bisbing is an artist
OF renown. His pictures are sought in
the salons of Europe. He has won
honorable mention and medals numer-
Gus. He wears the cross of the Legion
OF Honor, a distinction that has been
won by few Americans. He is a big
personality in the world, a leader in the
profession which everywhere brings
high distinction. But that he is all that
he is, is due, he says, before all, to the
sympathy and encouragement of his
cousin, whom he is now to marry.
Il am glad the people want to know
about my marriage" he declared yes

A secret letter was sent out to the
various district superintendent and
their assistants. ~instructing them to try
for a record week in writing policies.
Every agent was told of the scheme,
and from the results it would appear
that it is very profitable to have birth
day anniversaries in the insurance
business when you are president. AS
much business was written in one week
in which August Z fell as was written
in the first foura years of the Pruden-

ATLANT|CS DOORS
FLUNG WIDE OPEN
Record Crowd Hears Preachers,
Then Works the Bartenders
Overtime.

ATLANTIC CITY, Aug. 16.-Reform-
ers made no further move toward
closing the saloons yesterday, nor did
they interfere with the ball game at the
Inlet Park, as it was reported would
be done. The cafes and saloons con-
Quoted their business in the usual mani
ner. The police gave warning to all
places that serve drinks not to sell to
intoxicated people, and as a result
there was no sign of disorder, One of
tie biggest crowds in the resorts his
tory was on hand.
The reformers, it is believed, have
gone as far as they will before the
sitting of the Grand Jury in october.
At that time every effort will be made
to secure indictments on the warrants
already served.
Magistrate Hughes, who issued the
warrants, said that SO far as his
office was concerned there would be
nothing doing in the reform line for
a couple of weeks. He is going on a
vacation and while he does not intend
to leave the city until Wednesday,, he
is already on vacation, and therefore
will do no work OF any kind.
1t is believed that the matter will
lie dormant nov until it is brought be-
fore the Grand Jury.

BAND CONCERTS
POPULAR WITH ALL
Plan Was First Suggested by the
Advertiser and Has Proved
a Big Success.

Few municipalities can surpass New
ark in the system of furnishing enter
tainment for its residents by means of
public band concerts in the parks.
When the Newark Advertiser, now
the evening edition of the STAR, origi-
mated this plan some years g Captain
c. Albert Gasser, now a city official,
was then city editor of the paper and,
encouraged with the success of the con-
certs under the supervision OF the
newspaper, Captain Gasser, after being
appointed secretary to former Mayor
Henry NJ. Doremus, suggested that the
city take up the question of public
band concerts. Largely through the
captains efforts a bill was passed per-
hitting first-class municipalities to ex-
pend $1,000 during July and August for
concerts.
Supervisor King is fortunate each
year In obtaining the best singers repre-
senting the principal publishing houses
in the metropolis. Four of the most
popular of the open-air singers are
William Redmond, John Nestor, Will
lam Corcoran and Jack brisbane. All
sang at the Advertiser concerts and are
as popular today as at hat time. Mr..
Nestor is known as The little mar
with the big voice" He possesses a.
excellent tenor voice. Billy Red
mond, at the age of sixteen, was an
organist in a church in Bridgeport,
Conn. Today he is regarded as one OF
the best ~pianists in the metropolis.
Newark can boast of having Billy
Corcoran as it's representative in open
air singing. He is more than making
good at present singing MY Wife's
Gone to the Country, Hurrah, Hurrah.'
Mr.. Corcoran usually makes a hi
during campaign season and is ever
ready to sing for charity. Jack Dris-
lane, the other old timer, is a song
writer and has a good baritone voice
Edward Weston, who made his first
appearance at the concerts severa
years ago, is well known as a baritone
He is a side partner of Ernest Ball
who wrote Love Me and the World l.
Mine"
Jack" Elliott and Tom Breen also
are popular vocalists who have beer
singing at the local parks for severa
years. Jack L. Sturges is another
who seems to sing what the crowt
likes. William Logan is not a stranger
and is at his best in Pony Boy" my
Cousin Carus" Is the big noise Will
sack Rose.
George Mcintyre and BILLY" schnei.
der are two local vocalists who are
making good. Miss Minnie X. Hirsh il
a NeWarker and sings all the populal
songs of the day. Miss Minnie Lei
sings about Molly Lee" who, o
course, is no relation of hers.
This season thirty-seven band con
certs will be given, principally in the
parks. One was at the Almshouse OF
July ., and another will be on TIL
afternoon Of August 10 in Branc
Brook Park, when the children's fell
day will be held. Two of the concert
as usual will be given by the Boys
Band of the City Home. The United
Singers will also sing at of tn
