THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL
Few Pele Kaew Haw rseral It (a la
Preaerrlaa; Health ana Weaaty.
Nearly everybody knows that charcoal
the aafert and moat efficient disinfectant
and purifier In nature, but few realise Its
value when taken Into the human system
for the same cleansing purpose.
Charcoal la a remedy that the more yen
take of it the better; It Is not a drug at all.
but simply absorbs the gases and Impurities
alwaya present In the stomach and Intes
tines 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 acts as a natural and eminently
life 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 best charco.il
and the most for the money ts In Stuart's
Charcoal Loxenge: they are composed of
the finest powdered Willow charcoal, anJ
other .harmless antiseptics In tablet form
or rather In the form of large, pleasant
tasting loionares, the charcoal being mixed
with honey.
' The daily use of these lozenges will soon
tell In a much Improved condition of tha
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 on tha contrary,
great benefit.
A Buffalo physician In speaking of the
benefits of charcoal, says: "I advise
Stuart's Charcoal Losenges to -all patients
suffering from gas In stomach and bowels,
and to clear the complexion and purify tha
breath, mouth and throat; I also believe
the liver Is greatly benefited by the dally
use of them; they coat but twenty-five
cent a box at drug stores, and although In
some sense a patent preparation, yet I be
lieve I get more and better charcoal in
Stuart's Charcoal Loienges than In any of
the ordinary charcoal tablets."
December he missed five large hogs and
had strongly suspected parties In the neigh

sons, went Into a field to haul up some
straw and went to a stack which had been
partly blown over some time ago. While
loading the straw they thought they heard
sounds emanajtlng from the stack and they
soon uncovered the mlaslng five hogs. The
animals were badly emaciated, but had
strength enough to furnish their own trans

soon began to recuperate. They had been
buried up about nine weeks without food

DANGER OF GORGING REIUCED TO MINIMUM
f tfca Mad ay's Winter Coating
tvIIb. Km Appreciable
Demonstration.
The Ice In the Missouri river began
breaking at the Hlslr bridge, thirty-five
miles north of Oniaha, at noon Tuesday.
There ha been a rise of one foot and four
tenths Inches at Blair since Tuesday morn
ing. There Is some open water at Omaha,
where the rotten ice has been worn away
by the current. The ice Is running out
In the lower Missouri river. Aside from
the breakup of the Ice at Blair there are
no reports of the Ice breaking further up
the river.
By reason of the ice going out below
and the gradually opening water here the
danger of an Ice Jam is hourly being re
duced to a minimum, "in fact," says
Forecaster Welsh, "it is not improbable
that all the ice might go out of the river
here at Omaha without our knowing any
thing about it. as the wearing away of the
ice by the strong river current and its
rotten condition Is very favorable to auch
a probability. Nothing in the present
weather conditions is particularly threat
ening. The weather la fair all up through
the valley and there Is not much prospi-ct
for a change for the coming thirty-six
hours. We may reach a freeiing tempera
ture hero tonight. February did very well
In the weather line. The maximum tem
perature during the month was 66 degrees
above zero on the last day of the month,
while the minimum was 25 degrees below

Burlington bridge ahortly after the Ice
broke and the river above that point rose
nine feet In less than twenty minutes. A
portion of the gorge broke and tha water
is now about on a standstill. When the
ice broke huge cakes of ice weighing thou
sands of tons were shot high In the air,
and. wjien they fell the report could be
heard by persons living many blocks from
the river. The ice crushed several sand
barges and small launches that had been
left on the banks near the water, and on
the cast side of the channel the Ice Is
piled upon the banks twenty to thirty feel
