Nearly everybody knows that charcoal is the safest and most efficient disinfect ant and purifier In nature, but few real ise Its value when taken In to the human system fur the same cleansing 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 cases and Im purities always present In the stomach and intestines and carries them out of the sys tem. 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 teeth and further acta 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 ths poison of catarrh. All druggists sell charcoal In one form or another, but probably the best char coal and most of the money Is In Stuart's Charcoal Losenges; they are composed of the finest powdered Willow charcoal, and other harmless antiseptics In tablet form or rather In the form rf large, pleasant tasting losenges, the char coal being mixed with honey. The dally use of these losenges will soon tell In a much improved condition of the general health, better complex Ion, sweeter breath and purer blood, and the beauty of It Is that no possible 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 advise Stuart's Charcoal Losenges to all pa tients suffering from gas In stomach and bowels, and to clear the complexion and purify the breath, mouth and throat; I also believe the liver Is greatly bene fited by the dally use of them, they cost but twenty-flve 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 Charcoal Losenges than In any of the or dinary charcoal tablets."

CHARLES HUNGATE K1LLEL Clothinr Feoomes Entansled in BeTolTirn Shaft at tn Ioe House. DEAD BEFORE HELP COULD REACH H!M Deceased Had Been In the lee Easiness In Omaha for Many Years aad Was a Man Highly Respected by All. Charles C. Hungate, secretary and gen eral superintendent of the Omaha Ice & Cold Storage company, was instantly killed at the company's plant at Cut-Oft lake Wednesday afternoon when,' In making tho rounds of the plant, his clothing caught In a shaft In the hoisting gallery, whirling him swiftly around to bis death. The body was thrown violently to the floor of the shed, and when other employes rushed up almost at the same instant life was ex tinct. Not a sound of any kind was ut tered by Hungate as he was drawn to his death, and It is therefore believed he was' killed Immediately. The accident occurred at 4:10 o'clock. Within a short distance of the spot were Foreman Charles Newell and Ave others, who witnessed Hungate's fate. It waa these who rushed to aid the unfortunate man, but their services were evidently use less after the first revolution of the shaft. The time occupied was but a few seconds, when the clothing could hold the weight no longer and follow the swiftly revolving shaft, and the body was dropped to the floor Among the duties of Mr. Hungate as general superintendent of the company was that of conducting the work of cutting Ice on Cut-Off lake and storing It In the com pany's houses on the shore. The power for moving the Ice cakes from the lake and uo Into the building Is distributed from the power house by shafting. Hungate was In the shed called the hoisting gallery, look ing over the work, when he got too near a shaft raised not far above the floor. Just what his errand was at that particular spot or what purpose he could have had tn going there could not be explained, as there was apparently nothing to claim his attention there. Body Not Badly Braised. As soon as the alarm could be given the machinery was stopped and work for the day discontinued. The body was removed to the undertaking rooms of the Cole-Mc Kay company. It was found that not many bones were broken and it Is not believed the skull was fractured. The loft arm and ankle were broken, while there were nu merous bruises about the body. Hungate was widely known In Omaha He came here with the family from Blair, Neb., where he was born, while very young, and as a young man waa popular. He was member of the Thurston rifles before the Spanish-American war, when that organlza tlon attracted members from the first families In the city.

His sudden death was a great shock to scores of friends and bust ness associates, who held him In sincere respect. There were many expressions of regret heard from persons who knew him as the Intelligence spread and the highest tt'rms of esteem were used. Hungate was married and lived with his wife and two children, a boy and girl, aged I and 4 years respectively, at S704 North Nineteenth street.
