THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful it is in Per-
serving ncaitn ana Beauty
Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is tne safest and most efficient
disinfectant and purifier In nature, but
few realize its value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans
ing purpose.
1 Charcoal is a remedy that the more
you take of it tin better; it is not a
drug at all, but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present
in the stomaca and intestines and car
ne3 them out of the system
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating
onions and other odorous vegetables.
. Charcoal effectually clears and im
proves the complexion, it whitens the
ueth and further acts as a 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
icrm or another, but probably the best
charcoal and the most for the money
is in Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges;
tbey are composed of the finest pow-
oerea willow charcoal, and other
harmless antiseptics in tablet form or
rather In the form of large, pleasant
tasting lozenges, the charcoal being
mixed with honey.
The daily use of these lozenges will
soon tell In a much improved condi-
tion of the general health, better com
plexion. sweeter breath and Durer
blood, and the beauty of it is, that
no possiDie harm can result from their
continued use, but on the contrary,
great benefit
A Buffalo physician in speaking of
the benefits of charcoal, says: "I ad
vise Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges to
sll patients suffering from gas in the
etomach and bowels, and to clear the
complexion and purify the breath,
mouth and throat: I also believe the
liver is greatly benefited by the daily
use or them; th 7. cost but 25 cents a
box at drug stores, and although in
some sense a patent preparation, yet I
believe I get more and better charcoal
in Stuart s Absorbent Lozenges than in
any of the ordinary charcoal tablets."
John L. Webster says: "The Philip-
Dines are ours." That's rieht. John.
We bought them and paid for them at
$2.50 per head and we have exactly
the same title, to them that a south
erner had who had bought and paid for
en African. John spoke of the people
ta the Philippines, of course He
would hardly claim that we had con
fiscated their lands. So when he said
"the Philippines are ours" he must
Iiave meant the people.
That there are grave events nnrtend-
ing is pervading the minds of the
thoughtful everywhere. It ia In the
very air. The Springfield Republican
remarks: "Whatever happens in the
contest of 1904. It can be nothine less
than a cataclysm that shall awaken
me people themselves to know what
they ought to do." Everywhere amonc
ropunsts lor months they have seen
tl.at treason has tied the hands and
feet of the democratic party the or
ganization that ought to be the Dartv
of the people and it was that feeline
tfcat brought the men together who
composed the Denver conference. The
loss of $3,000,000,000 In the decline of
stocks is producing suffering and want
in the eastern states which fact the
subsidized, plutocratic press carefully
keeps from the knowledge of the dco-
ple.
The Independent would like to ask
the few Bourbon democratic editors
who take so much pleasure in charg
ing that the DODulists at Denver an
nounced themselves "republican as
sistants" and were after Mark Hanna
boodle. What thev were after when
they organized a straight democratic
editorial association in this state to
which no populist editor would be ad
mitted? Did not they take to the mid
die of the road long before the dod-
uiists in this state did?
Some of "the matter printed in the
high toned magazines under the name
of science is so elementary that it
would nardiy interest a child of six
years. Recently one of them hart a

The argument, concerning trade in
the Philippines by an inmerialist. is
always based on the assumption that
we could not trade with the Filipinos
unless we owned them. Before Great
Britain would allow John Hay to go
into the imperialism business he" had
to make an agreement that there
should be an "open door" for all na
tions in those islands and the result
h that out Of $26,000,000 trade there.
the United States gets less than 10 per
cent of it If the islands were eiven
an independent government we would
probably get a great deal larger per
ce.t of the trade than we do now, and
especially so if that government was
given to them as a gracious act of the
people of this republic.

are well nigh daft over the fact that

by Cresceus in 2:021-4. Trotting
horses began to attract attention first
m lsis when Boston Boy trotted a
mile in 3:00. It has taken 85 years
of breeding and training to cut off one
minute to a mile, but even that is
hardly true, for the modern bicycle

sponsible for one-half of that minute.

The last dividend paid by the Stand
ard Oil trust, the third for the year,
amounted to $lio,075,000. If any man
tan believe that that sort of thing can
go on indefinitely and not impoverish
many thousands of peonle. It la he-
cause he cannot think. Some distance
behind the Standard Oil eomnanv
comes the steel trust with a dividend
of $50,809,577. The terror with which
this standard Oil dividend is viewed,
comes from the fact that it all goes to
increase the heretofore unheard of
fortunes of a very few men, John D.
Rockefeller being chief among them.
The dividend of the steel trust is much
core widely distributed.

One of the circulars sent out by a
board of trade gambling concern at St
i.ouis is very trank in its statements.
Here is an extract from it: "You are
a'so well enough informed to know
( t at a fortune is seldom amassed by
the little daily savings that a man
makes by the work of his own hands
or his lone brain. He must have some
method, some opportunity, some other
way to make riches. He must have
others work for him, and hi get the
main fruits of their labor." When a
populist goes to some hard working
republican farmer and talks to him
like that, the said farmer refuses to
listen and toils on that he may give
"the mam fruits of his labor" to the
exploiters who run his thinking ma
chine and his party for him
the desirable kinds. Prospects fair
for next week. Weather still favorable

that occurred, Mr. Eves called atten- -tion

-There is another thing that the big

only those who keep a sharp eye on
the condition of financial institutions
know. The deposits in the savings
banks are being ranidlv reduced in

by the financial journals is that the

One of the things that the tools of
the Wall street exploiters expect to
tlip through congress at the next term
is a law to allow the national bankers
tc contract the currency whenever
they see fit and to the amount, of all
the national bank notes in circulation.
t such a law is passed, then thev
would ' have a cinch on us ' sure
enough. They could wreck the coun

men who were in debt whenever they
