Nearly everybody knows that charcoal Is the safest and most efficient disinfectant and purifier In nature, but few realize Its value when taken Into tho human system for the same ck.relng purpose. Charcoal Is a remedy that the more you take of It the better; It Is not a drug at all, but simply absorbs the gases and impuri ties always present In the stomach and In testines and carries them out of the system. Charcoal sweetens the breath after smok ing, drinking or after eating onions and other odorous vegetables'. Charcoal effectually clears and improves the complexion. It whitens the teeth and further acta as a natural and eminently safe cathartic. It absorbs the Injurious gases which col lect In the stomach and bowels; it disin fects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh. All druggists sell charcoal In one form or another, but probably the brat charcoal nnd the moat for the money is In Stuart'a Charcoal lozenges; they are composed of ! the finest powdered Willow charcoal, and other harmless antlReptlcs In tablet form or. rather in the form of large, pleasant testing lozenges, the charcoal being mixed with honey. .The dally use of these lozenges will soon tell In a much Improved condition of the general health, better complexion, sweeter breath and purer blood, and the beauty of It is, that no possible harm can result from their continued use, but uu the contrary, great benefit. A IlulTalo physician In speaking of the benefits of charcoal, says: "I advise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all patients suffering from gas in stoinuch and bowels, und to clear the complexion and purify the breath, mouth and throat; I also believe the liver Is greatly benefited by the dally use of them; they cost but twenty-five cents a box at drug stores, and although In s.ims sense a patent preparation, yet I be lieve I get more and better charcoal In Htuart's Charcoal Lozenges than In any of the ordinary charcoal tablets."

W. O. Campbell of Woodbine, la., a stock dealer, has the distinction of being one of the few who have been able to get the bet ter of the Beef trust. During the strike he cleared $5,000 In a venture by forgetting to deliver a message. It Is one of the excep tional Instances where forgetfulness has been the means of enriching a man's pocket. "I had been buying feeders at the Omaha and Sioux City markets," said Mr. Camp bell, "and a short time before the strike bfbke up I had about 100 head of atock ready and telegraphed to several places for a market. I got word from Chicago to load the stock en the cars and ship It on, but the market was In such an unsettled condi tion that I didn't propose to do It. The next day I got a telegram frem Cudahy asking If I would sell. I sent an affirmative reply and they sent word that they would send a man out the following day. He got to my place about noon and we went out to look over the stock. "While we were out In the field my wife received a telephone message from the telegraph office. They asked her If she would deliver It and she aald yes. The message said the men were going back to work and directed the agent to stop buying at prices then current nnd to cancel fur ther orders. My wife didn't know what to do. She talked it over with a neighbor and finally sought her brother for advice. Late In the afternoon he found us and calling me to one side told me about the telephone message. Well, It wae the first time that I had sold anything when I knew more about the transaction than the other man and I kept my mouth shut until after the deal was closed. I knew that the market would be demoralized by another day. When we reached the house I told the agent that they had a message at the telegraph office for him and he telephoned over. They re peated It to him Just as they had to my wife. " 'Well,' I said to him. 'what's the trouble?' 'Nothing.' was his reply, 'only the house would have been a few thousand dollars ahead If I had got that message about ten minutes sooner.' That la all the kick he made. I waa over to Cudahys some time after the deal and they admitted that I got the better of them a little bit, but they made enough on other transac tions so that they had no kick coming. That was the biggest profit I ever made on a matter of a few hundred head of stock. "I brought down 309 head of cattle with me, but I don't know whether I shall take any feeders back or not. Feeders are so high now and cattle so low that there Is no money In the business with com at 35 cents. I am paying $3.80 per hundred for stock. There is no money In feeders that cost over 8 cents with the market In the present condition." AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMADA School Beard Election ii Beginning to Ge Some Attentioi.

The delegation has been agreed upon and there le to bo no opposition so far as Is known et the present time The delegation wae filed yesterday, as follows: First Ward-TV. P. Adklne, 3. D. Jones and Frank K. Jones. Second Ward Joseph Koutsky, Frank Dworak and R. J. Kenlson. Third Ward John Kubat, Thomas Erwin and James Hamilton. Fourth Ward Charles OfTerman, Peter O!"on and William McCralth. Fifth Ward George Mi sic. T. J. Cooley mi'' Japnb Pelster. Sixth Ward A. H. Murdock, George H. Ifr wer and J. A. Cavers. This will bo the delegation to be voted upon at the primaries February 13., and undoubtedly it will name Messrs. Morrill, Laverty and Curtis the following day in convention at the Workmen hall. The democrats have not as yet Indicated their Intention ae to the date of holding primaries or naming a ticket. No candi dates are spoken of from the democratic side, but It Is stated the democratic pri maries are to be held some time In March. President Morrill and Secretary Laverty are Just completing the third and last year of their term on the board. They have been regarded as the leading members of that body during their service there, and both are regarded as among the best quali fied men for the business and educational duties of the Board of Education who have ever held that office. Dr. Curtis Is a well known physician and an old teacher who has had much to do along educational lines. Members of the present board point to the record of the board for economy during the last two' years especially with a grat deal of pride. Under the new school law providing for but five members on the board Ite affairs have been reduced to sim ple business methods, and It Is asserted that a statement will be issued showing that a saving to the taxpayers of more than teO.OOO was accomplished by strictly busi ness methods. ."wo years ago, when the present board took charge of the school affairs, there were outstanding warrants against the city aggregating $60,000. This Indebtedness has been removed, and at the end of the pres ent fiscal year the district will be free from debt for perhaps the first time In its his tory. The fact of this debt being wiped out ac counts for the IB-mill levy being made by the board this year, the members believing that It was better to put the district on a cash bawls than to carry an Interest-bearing debt. New Utah School Building. About March 1 is the date set for the moving Into the new high school building. The contractors all say it will be completed in ten days, but members of the board are fearful of delay, as the building is now four months over time In Its construction, and they will cheerfully wait until March 1 to have It In good condition when they move In. Tho board will thus get to UBe the new building three months before school closes for the summer vacation. The work Is being done carefully, and thone who have Inspected It say the building will be a beauty insido as well as outside. nonpltal Will Be Unlit. The authorities of the South Omaha Hos pital association assert positively that the plan to build a hospital so much discussed before the charity ball will be carried out during the coming summer. What the de tails of President King's plans are he is not giving out at this time, but he says there Is no doubt that the building will be con structed. He says further that It will lie one of which South Omaha people will be proud. The present hospital building has been crowded during the past yiar, nnd It is said that over 200 patients e cared for gratis. The association now owns a lot upon which to build, and has a building fund started of good proportions. Police Italil Honaes. The police got after the bawdy element on Railroad avenue yesterday very severely. They swooped down upon the whole "bunch" and took them to the city Jail Tuesday night, and yesterday .morning Police Judge King Imposed upon them such conditions as to render their further resi dence In South Omaha at least unpleasant. The police say that of the nineteen persons arrested ten were men, and tho worst kind of men at that. They want never to see the faces of the tribe again. Chief of Police Ilrlggs snld: "We simply will not tolerate them any longer. All those tough men and women must leave town."

Feb. 1 The best game of bil liards so far In the tournament for the amateur championship of America was played by Edward C. Rein of Chicago to nlKht. who had as his opponent Edward O. Gardner of New York. The final score was 3fXi to 2S1 In favor of the local man. Up to he twenty-fourth inning it seemed as If Gardner was a sure winner, as he led by 108 points. w un me score standing zzi tor Gardner nnd 123 for Rein, the latter began his uphill fight until the fortieth Inning, when he passed Gardner, after which time he held the lead to the end of the came. Gardner's high run was 42 and his average. 6 17-44. Reins' average was 6 36-44. The other winners today were Slgourney of San Francisco and Norrls of New York. Sigourney's opponent was Schmitt of Ra cine. The Pacific coast man won by a score of 300 to 280. His average was 6 18-47 nnd his high run 34. Schmitt averaged 6 45-47 and made a high run of 49. The game was very close all the way through up to the Inst Inning, when Slgourney made a run of 19. ending tne game. Hcnmltt, who Is piny FAITII IS WHAT SAVES MAN Et. Dr. Jcaki Dilate, on the Thought at Calvary Baptist Church, EARNEST DOUBTS ARE EASILY REMOVED Charrh Itself Mora to Blame Because More People Do Not Come fader Its Inllaenee and Control. "Faith" was the theme of the sermon preached by Rev. E. H. Jenks at Calvary Baptist church last evening. The weather had an appreciable effect on the attend ance. The congregation was a small one for the first time since the revivals began. The lesson cf the evening was from the incident when Jesus was halted by the blinfl beggar and gave him his sight. "The man had heard the people spenk of Him as they passed In Oriental fashion through the gate where he sat begnln for alms. The people were worked uo about Him. They talked of the wonderful things He had done. They had beep look ing for a political Messl.ih. He repudiated the Idea. The blind man saw In Him the fulfillment of the hopes of Israel. He had faith in Him. It wae difference of mental attitude. Doubt . intellectual defect. It Is the aliens .. of nature from God. There are men who are Intellectually curi ous regarding the truth. They are not after the truth to satisfy the spirit, lut to satisfy a speculative sense. Earnestness and Donbt. "The earnest doubter Is not hard to deal with. An earnest doubter Is an earnest man. The beggar at the gate had no doubts. He had heard others discuss Jesus. He had unbounded faith in Him and he hailed the Savior by a definite title, 'Jesus, thou son of David.' He was only a beggar, an outcast, ostracised even from the temple. The disciples tried to quiet him, but he cried the louder. He had longed and hoped that some time Jesus would come that way, and here was his oppvrtunltv. As a matter of fact Jesus did not pass that way again. It was the man's opportunity, and he seized It. The church Is often largely to blame for the fact that there are so many people out of the church. People sin and enter the church and skirts are drawn a little tighter. These people think the church cares nothing for them and they care nothing for the church. It ' is a fact that only 9 per cent of the work- I Ingmen of Omaha are In the church. Less i than fj per cent of the worklnirmen of St. Louis are In the church. . The beggar might well have said. 'This 1 crowd does not treat me very ceremonl- i ously. I 11 wait until next time.' He had. ' however, everything to gain and nothing i to lose. A man must have faith. You can't argue a person into heaven. It Is ! an old trick of satan to have someone try i to argue religion Into an unbeliever. Jesus I told the paralytic to take his bed and walk. The aick man did not wait until he felt the thrill of life In his veins. He walked. ' Life came to the limbs with ih oi, I Jap to t'sai euaad Soap used by discriminating people.

Mm Own a Farm; Don't Rent. Buy an irrigated farm for yourself or your son before the advancing price shuts you out. The time is fast coming in this country when the owner of a good farm will be a very independent man; the acreage of farm lands is limited, but our population is rapidly increasing. The entire acreage of land available for irrigation, either by rrivate or Governmental enterprise, will make but a small number of eighty-acre farms compared with the number of young men who expect to become farmers. The Big Horn Basin has ample water, a splendid sun shiny climate and a soil which, under water, is as rich and productive as any in the temperate zone; send for our spe cial Big Ilorn Basin folder, and keep that locality in your mind in looking into the future.
