THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL
rw People Kaow mow Tsefal tt Is
Ttmxring Health and Beauty.
Oosta aTothlnf To Try.
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."

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. He waa Si years of age
and had been connected with the Omaha
Ice A Cold Storage company or compan
les. of which It Is the outgrowth, for about
thirteen years. 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. He is survived hy these
and by his father, a brother and five sis
ters. The brother is George E. Hungate,
also of the Omaha Ice A Cold Storage com
pany. Of the sisters. Bessie M. Hungate

The father Is on a trip out Into the state,
