THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL
Few People Know How Useful 1t Is in
 Preserving Health and Beauty

Few People Know How Useful It Is in
 Preserving Health and Beauty
 Nearly everybody knows that char coal is the safest and most efficient disinfectant and purifier in nature, but few realize it's value when properly prepared and taken into the human system for the same cleansing purpose.
 Charcoal is a remedy that the more you take of 1t the better; 1t Is not a drug at all, but simply absorbs the gases and impurities always present in the stomach and intestines and carries them out of the system.
 Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking, and after eating onions and other odorous vegetables.
 Charcoal effectually clears and im- proves the complexion, 1t whitens the teeth and further acts as natural and eminently safe cathartic.
 It absorbs the injurious gases which collect in the stomach and bowels; it disinfects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh.
 All druggists sell charcoal in one form or another. but probably the best charcoal and the most for the money Is in Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges; they are composed of the finest quality Will low charcoal powdered to extreme fine ness, then compressed in tablet form, or rather in the form of large. pleasant LdBtluk IOECnBSS, sstno CudECOAl uclnk sweetened to be smooth and palatable. ' The daily use of these lozenges will soon tell in a much improved condition of the general health, better complex ion, sweeter breath and purer blood, and the beauty of 1t Is that no possible harm can result from their continued use. but on the contrary. great benefit.
 Many physicians advise Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges to patients suffer- ing from gas in stomach and bowels, and to clear the complexion and purify the breath, mouth and throat. They are also believed to greatly benefit the liver. These lozenges cost but thirty cents g box at drug stores. For a free trial send your name and address to F. A. Stuart Co.,, 10 Stuart Bldg, Mar shall, Mich. You get more and better charcoal in Stuart's Absorbent Log enges than in any of the ordinary char coal tabiets.-Adv.

NOT MADE FOR LEWIS
Dr. Crumpton Denies Under wood Connected With
 Liquor Head

MONIGUMERY, Ala, Feb. 10.- Dr. W. B. Crumpton, president of the Alabama Anti-Saloon league. today an nounced that he had received telegrams stating that reports that Senator Oscar w. Underwood, candidate for the demo- cratic nomination for President, had reserved rooms at a New York hotel for Charley Lewis, known throughout the nation a few years ago as the re- presentative of the liquor interests, were untrue.
 Dr. Crumpton said the assurance that the report had no basis in fact had come both from Senator Underwood and the national democratic executive com mittee. He said he had the telegrams in his possession but did not feel he had authority to make them public without the consent of those who signed them.
 Reports had been in circulation that Senator Underwood had made the re- servation of the rooms at the Waldorf Astoria, the reply to Dr. Crumpton said that neither Senator Underwood nor and person connected with his cam paign had made such reservations either at the Waldorf Astoria or any other hotel in New York or elsewhere.
 Charley Lewis was campaign issue in Alabama in the days when saloons were in operation. .:. <.
 Rumors Combatted
 A statement was given out tonight from Underwood headquarters denying the rumors that rooms had been en- gagged at New York hotel for the once famour Charles Lewis, alleged Brewers representative by Senator Underwood of anyone connected with his campaign. Telegrams to this effect were made public, one received from Senator Underwood, the other from William H. May, Washington, secre- tary of the Underwood committee. Both addressed to A. Nj. Tunstall, Under woods campaign manager for Alabama.
 Following is the telegram from Sena- tor Underwood:
 Telegram received. Neither I nor anyone connected with my office or the | Underwood commmittee have made or authroized any request for reservation at the Waldorf or any other hotel in New York for Mir. Charles Lewis di- rectly or. indirectly"
 Mir. Mays telegram to Mir. Tunstall is, as follows: ,.-.,.
 Telegram received. Senator Under wood states that he has no knowledge of reservation referred to. Over long distance phone secretary democratic national committee in New York stated to me that he would wire national Committeeman Walter Moore and /na- I tional committeewoman, Mrs. McNeil informing them mistake had been made and Senator Underwood had not re- quested any such reservation. Neither Senator nor any one connected with his office or this committee made any request for reservation for MT. Lewis or any other individual at Waldorf or any other hotel in New York.
