jTHE VALUE OF CHARG0AL
People Know How Useful it is in Pre.
serving Health and Beauty.
early everybody knows- that char-
lr is the safest and most efficient
mfectant and purifier in nature, but
realize its value when taken into
jhuman system for the same cleans
'i purpose.
Jharcoal is a remedy that tne more
h take of it the better; it is not a
ig at all, but simply absorbs the
fees and impurities always present
?the stomach and intestines and car-
them out of the system.
Jharcoal sweetens the breath after
oking, drinking or after eating
ions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and 1m-
tbves the complexion, it whitens the
fetli and further acts as a natuial
fd eminently safe cathartic.
t absorbs thp. injurious gases wnich
illect in the stomach and bowels; it
sinfects the mouth and throat from
poison of catarrh.
ill druggists sell charcoal in one
rm or another, but probably the best
ircoai ana tne most lor tne money
IV in Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges;
3y are composed of the finest pow-
ired Willow charcoal and other
fcrmless antisoptics in tablet form or
ther in the form of large, pleasant
ting lozenges, the charcoa being
Ixed with honey.
fThe daily use of these lozenges will
Ion .tell in a much improved condi-
n of the general health, better coni-
lexion, sweeter breath and purer
pod, and tho beauty of it is, that
possible harm can result rrom tneir
mtinued use, but on the contrary,
teat benefit.
SA Buffalo physician in speaking of
w benefits of charcoal, says: "I ad-
Ise Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges to
fl patients suffering from gas in the
)mach and bowels, and to clear the
Jmplexion and purify the breath,
fouth and throat; I also believe the
ver is greatiy benentea by cue aaiiy
se of them; they cost but 25 cents a
)x at druir stores, and although in
)mo sense a patent preparation, yet I
"ieve I get more and better charcoal
Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges tnan
any of the ordinary charcoal
rblots."
Fighting Ground.
The foundations of American lib
erty were laid by men who honestly
regarded each other as enemies to
tho common weal. Jefferson, Madi
son, and Gallatin looked upon John
Adams, Hamilton, and Pickering as
men entertaining ideas that were act
ually dangerous to the welfare of tho
country, and the federalist party was
defeated because of this. distrust and
fear. Now I Insist that there are
hundreds of reasons why democrats
should regard with fear and suspicion
the existing conditions where one rea
son for such fear existed In Jeffer
son's time. Let me give a few of
these dangers: The other evening at
the New York university law cehool
banquet, Mr. Blihu Root said, with
"republican pndet" I assume, in re
viewing the record of tfis party:
"It ha3 b?en my province during
the last four years and a hah to deal
with arbitrary government. It has
been necessary for mo not only to
make laws and pronounce judgment
without any occasion for discission
except in as far as I would choose to
weigh the questions involved in my
own mind affecting 10,000,000 people,
And not only to make laws and pro
nounce judgment, but to execute judg
ment with overwhelming force and
great swiftness." 'Tis a pity 'tis true,
Mr. Root. You, a student of history,
ought to know that this statement
brings you into line with every despot
from the beginning of the world
down; all of whom have, with no
fools to discuss, made laws, pro
nounced judgment, and executed
judgment upon weak and inoffensive
people. You, Mr. Root, are undoubt
edly a descendant of a revolutionary
sire, and those patriots who are justly
the object of so much of your glowing
eloquence fought a seven years' war
from Lexington to Yorktown solely
for the purpose of demonstrating the
inalienable right of men to govern
themselves, and when you "made
laws, pronounced judgment, and exe
cuted judgment" for the Philippines,
ycu were simply recreant to the tra
ditions of liberty of your country, as
well as to the inalienable rights of
10,000,000 human beings.
Fighting ground for democrats in
the coming campaign! Why, if they
only had the patriotism of the fathers
and the courage which the justice of
their cause should inspire In them,
they would indignantly go forth to
battle against the conditions which
Mr. Root describes and their holy en
thusiasm for lighting such wrongs
would fire the blood and start the
pulse and light the eye of millions ot
thoir hearers. . . .
Mr. Bryan has recently created con
siderable comment becauso 0 his an
nouncement that the real issue of the
campaign is a moral - question. In
this contention he surely Is right. The
paramount question of the demopratic
platform and the democratic cam
paign must be whether a few hundred
men shall be permitted to furnish
eight or ten million dollars for cam
paign disbursements and receive in
return from the government tne priv
ilege, through protective tariffs, spe
cial legislation and tneir esultant
trust combinations, of selling their
goods to 80,000.000 people at an ad
vance of 25 to 50 per cent above a
reasonable price. Tne mind of man
never devised a more effective means
through which to corrupt a people's
public officials and destroy a people
than this system of imperial dona
tion. We find high authority for Mr.
Bryan's position that all great na
tional controversies are in the last
analysis moral questions. Matthew
Arnold says: "Because tho?o things
right and wrong- are really what do
govern politics, and save or destroy
states, tho few philosophers who alone
keep insisting on tho good of right
eousness and tho unprofitableness of
Inquity are the only real politician."
