Stomach Gases
and Torp'd Livers
Give Away Before the Peculiar
Purifying Power of Stuart's
Charcoal Lozenges
Trial Package Sent Free.
The foul gases of the stomach and the
torpid action of the liver are easy vi
tinis for ( lu.-'ual to overeomn.
Tidft great natural cleanser and ab-
sorbent will most certainly be relished
by a system afflicted with gaseous or
sluggish tendencies.
Charcoal has long been known as a
great absorbent of gas. *A panful of
charcoal will positively purify a room
filled with foul odors and de^-ay. Its
absorbing ratio is one hundred tlmea
greater than its own volume.
The ancients gave cluirooal for many
human ills successfully. The Nortri
American Indians used it for snake
bite, poison from eating wild herbs
and cured what they called "stomach
bad medicine" with it.
Willow charcoal seems to be the best
product for human use, and no doubt
the peculiar curative property of the
tofQow i.; represented a chemical
quality in its charcoal.
Stuart's Charcoal Ix>zengers are pure
. willow and sweet honey blended by
tremendous power and compression into
a very palatable lozenge. Two or three
luzengers eaten after meals will prevent
the process of digestion from producing
noxious gases. They will vivify ;i lazy
liver and aid every organ which is
most likely to be overcome through its
contact with impurities.
They cleanse the stomach and intes-
tfnos, bring purity and sweetness out
of lermentatlon and decay and aid «ll-
g'fcstion by allaying gas. They will aid
you and your s'nrnach. The beneficial
effects are made evident after each meal
when you use oharooal as Stuart pre-
pares It To allay gas at night they
are excellent and one arises in the
morning without that terrible nauseat-
ing bad breath which destroys appetite
and renders one miserable.

WASHINGTON,
the Navy Victor
Nov. 14.—Secretary o
H. Metcalf today re-
signed his office to take effect 1 >ecem-
ber first on account of ill health.
sistant Secretary Newberry will be
named as Metcalf'# successor.
For more than a year the fact that
Mr. Metcalf nas suffered serious Illness
has been well known at the Navy de-
partment. Formerly of vigorous health
hlr friends expected that lie wou^d be
able to regain his strength, but con-
stantly recurring illness han convinced
him that the only course for liijn to
pursue is to sever ids connection with
all active work.
Mr. Metcalf suffered frtmi a nervue
breakdown that has ij^dered it im-
possible for him t< remain at his desk
for any length of time and the chronic
nature of his trouble*has caused him to
abandon hope of recovery while bur-
dened with the cares of office. On
April 15 last he went to California to
review the Atlantic battleship fleet. He
took a* long vacation, hoping to be per-
manently benefited thereby, returning
here July 1. Upon his resumption of
official duty his illness promptly re-
curred and he frankly t<}J<J the presi-
dent that he "fcould not remain in the
cabinet.
Mr. Newberry had never'filled any im-
portant public office prior to his ap-
pointment as assistant secretary of^ the
navy, November 1, 1905- Before that
time he was in business In Detroit. •

WASHINGTON. Nov. 14. From thoJ
attitude assumed by both republican and
democratic members of the house ways
tiiiiI means coinlttee a t 'today's, hearing |
on the proposed revision of the tariff,
it become evident that there is general
satisfaction with the present duties on
tobacco and tobacco manufacturers. The]
democrats*heeni content with the present
high tariff, on the ground that tobac-
co is a product on which the govern-
ment should derive revenue, why 6 the
i •'publicans favor the present^rates- be-
cause they offer the protection desired
by the American tobacco Interests. Re-
presentatives of the tobacco «row«r* of
New England, Florida and Georgia op-
posed any change for higher or lowe,
i :ttes, contending that such action would
disturb the conditions of the trade.
While M. L. Floyd, chairman of tho
tobacco board of trade of the Connec-
ticut Valley, was giving the committee
information. Representative Griggs of
Ceorgb asked if the tobacco growers
were afraid of free trade with the Phil-
ippine islands.

''It vould take our standing arpiy
to keep these same growers of Sumatr
from smuggling tobacco into one or
more of the 1,500 Islands In the Phil-
ippine group," he added, "where they
couldi paok and s? Ip it to this country
free of duty."
"Have you mentioned these views to
IMj\ Taft, the president-elect," asked
Mr Griggs. *
"I have not the pleasure of his ac-
quaintance, " was the reply.
Representative Nicholas Longworth as-
serted that tobacco was only grown suc-
cessfully on oife of the Philippine In-
lands.
