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 hv this simple remedy.
 One little nervous Frenchman held forth ,ts virtues before a famous convention of European physicians and surgeons. Secheyron was his name. He was odd ouaint and very determined. His broth CTS in medicine laughed at his claims. Thereupon he swallowed two grams or etrychnine, enough to kill three men, and ate some charcoal. The doctors thought him mad. but he did not even have to go fo he'd The charcoal killed the effects of the strychnine and Secheyron was famous. Ever since that day physicians have used it. Run impure water through charcoal and you have a pure, delicious drink.
 Bad breath, gastritis, 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 most inexhaustible store house of health to the man or woman who suffers from gases or impurities of 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 a nicety for char coal making and fragrant honey, the product of the bee. Thus every ingre- dient 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 30 that age, evaporation or decay may hot assai 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 pr decaying meal. They assist digestion. purify the blood and help the intestines and bowels throw off all waste matter. Go to your druggist at once and buy a package of Stuart's Charcoal Lpzenges, 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 package by mail free. Address F. A.

BRISTOL VETS
Win CONTEST
DECISION MAY END CASE--JuDGE
KELLY HELD THAT THE
"oRYs" HAD NO STANDING IN
THE COURT.

Bristol, Tenn, Aug. S.-Judge
Kelly yesterday rendered sweeping
decision. which hardly leaves the drys
a leg to stand on, in the local option
election test they have ben prosecut-
ing here.
In ar opinion OF some twenty-five
closely typewriter pages Judge Kelly
holds that the drys can not go into
the question of the alleged payment
of the poll taxes of votes by the vets.
He says that they had two remedies
for the alleged fraud before the cleo
ton, and as they knew as much then
as they did afterward and then failed
to avail themselves of every remedy,
they can not now come into court and
assail the correctness of the treas
urer's list of persons who personally
paid their poll taxes. as required by
law.
He says the court must now pre-
sumo that all of the officers of the
election, as well as the treasurer and
clerk, did their duties and evidence
can not now be introduced to contro-
vert that presumption.
The decision is pronounced by law
yers here as a fine document. from a
legal standpoint
The 1rys have one ground upon
which they can proceed. but it is not
believed that they will do sol after
losing the corner stone Of their case.
Judge Kelly will be asked TO grant
LIQUOR licenses next week.

Declaring the belief that the working
classes desired tariff reform and not

preparation of property, Lord Lans-
downe suggested that the house OF
commons may no longer represent
the will of the people.
Those who advance the extreme

blood tingle in his veins He says he
does not care whether or not he or
his family is descended from Charlie

a matter of fact he does not believe
that he has an yroyal blood in his
veins.
Senator Elkins, sometimes called
the Duke of West Virginia, was seen
at his residence today shortly before
he left town for the summer and in
formed of the reputed discovery of
Mrs. Albert l.. Richardson, noted
gentalogist, which connects Senator
Elkins' wife's family family and
Miss Katherine Elkins with the
medieval Italian kings. The senator
declared that he knew nothing OF
Mrs. Richardson's researches into his
family history save what he saw in
the newspapers, and that he did not
put mech faith in them.
II don't believe" said the senator,
that we are descended from Italian
kings. am sure | have never felt

speedy marriage might result from
these discoveries.
