THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL. Few People Know How Useful It Is in Preserving Health and Beauty. Nearly everybody knows that char- coal is the safest and most efficient disinfectant and purifier in nature, but - few realize its value when taken into the human system for the same cleans- ing purvose. 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 impurities always present in the stomach and intestines and carries them out of the system. 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 acts as a natural and eminently safe cathartic. It absorbs the injurious gases which coilect in the stomach and bowels; it disinfects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh. All druggists sell charcoal in one form or another, but probably the best charcoal and the most for the money -1s in Stuart’s Charcoal Lozenges; they are composed of the finest powdered ‘Willow charcoal, and other harmless antiseptics in tablet form or rather In the form of large, pleasant tasting loz- enges, the charcoal being mixed with honey. The daily use of thess lozenges 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 frofa their continued use. but on the contrary, great benefit. A Buffalo physician in speaking of * the benefits of charcoal, says: “I ad- vise Stuart’s Charcoal Lozenges to all patients suffering from gas in stom- ach and bowels, and to clear the com- plexion and purify the breath, mouth and throat; I also belleve the liver is greatly benefited by the daily use of them: they cost but 25 cents a box at drug stores, and although in some sense a patent preparation, yet I believe T t more and better charcoal in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges than in any of the ordinary charcoai tablets.” No Breakfast Table complete withous PPS’ The Cream of Cocoas.

SPECIAL BOARD OVER TRUSTS {Senator Heyburh Introduces a Bill Providing for a National Body of Control WASHINGTON, Jan. 4—A national board to exercise supervision and con- trol over corporations is provided for in a bill introduced in the Senate to- day by Senator Heyburn. It Is pro- posed that Congress create a new de- partment of the Government to exist in connection with the Department of Commerce and Labor, to be known as “The National Board of Corporations.” This board shall consist of five persons, four to be nominated by the President, for terms of four years each at salaries of $5000 annually, and the fifth mem- ber shall be the Secretary of the De- partment of Commerce and Labor. Authority far greater than that en- joyed by the department now intrust- ed with the regulation of trusts and mo- mnopolies will be given to the National Board of Corporations, if Senator Hey- burn’s bill becomes a law. The bill pro- vides that the board shall have the power to compel the production of all books or documents, or the attendance of witnesses necessary to the investiga- tion of any question affecting the right of a corporation to engage in business, Under the provisions of the bill no corporation would be permitted to en- in business in any State other than that in which it is Incorporated unless sufficient proof is first submitted to the national board that such cor- mate purpose; that it is solvent; that merce or which results In giving to it or any person or corporation engaged in like trade an unfair advantage over effect would create a monopoly of the trade or business in which such cor- poration or corporations are engaged; | Tull_and free right fo vote the stock | of the corporation by the actual owners of such stock {s abridged or prevented, and that no part of the capital stock of such corporation shall be controlled, :'wned or voted by any other corpora- on.

The bill agreed upon is divided into eleven sections. The first makes pro- vision for creating a force of naval vol- unteers capable of rendering service in time of war. It provides that the Sec- retary of the Navy and the Secretary of Commerce and Labor should cause to be made an enrollment of officers and men, now and hereafter employed | in the merchant marine and deep sea fisheries of the United States, who shall receive an annual retainer at the end of each year. TONNAGE SUBVENTION. & The second section provides for a subsidy after July 1, 1906, of (a) the sum of $5 per gross registered ton for | each vessel which has been engaged in | the foreign trade by sea or the deep sea fisheriés for a period of twelve | months, including time necessarily | consumed in maikng annual or extraor- dinary repairs; (b )the sum of $4 per gross registered ton for each vessel| which has been engaged in the foreign | trade by sea or the deep sea fisheries | for a period of nine months or over, | but less than twelve months, including | time necessarily consumed in mnklnxione Calls for Federal Building at| extraordinary repairs; (c) the sum of | $2 50 per gross registered ton for each | vessel which has been engaged in the | foreign trade by sea or the deep sea fisheries for a period if six months or | over, but less than nine months, includ- ing time necessarily consumed In mak- | ing extraordinary repairs. Provision is made in the third sec- tion that vessels receiving the sub- vention may be taken by the United States, at a fair compensation, for national defense or any public purpose. It provides also that when the Post- master Genepal requires the vessels shall carry fnails free of charge; that' one-sixth of the crews shall be citi- zens of the United States; and that when possible repairs be made in the United States. The fourth section provides “that the contracts provided for in section three shall be for a period of one year, and | shall be remewed from time to time, but np vessel shall receive a subvention | { under the provisions of this act for a | longer period than ten years.” | Sections five and six authorize and direct the Postmaster General to enter into contracts, for not less than five | nor more than ten years, for the carry- {ing of mails in steamships built and registered in the United Statek, be- tween ports of the United States and foreign ports. AS TO MAIL CONTRACTS. Rates affecting the Pacific Coast are |as follows: Pacific Coast ports, viaj Hawail, to Japan, China and the Phil- ippines, sixteen knots speed, monthly service, $300,000; fortnightly, $600,000; Pacific Coast port to Japan, China and the Philippines, thirteen knots speed, monthly service, $210,000; fortnightly, $420,000; Pacific Coast port to Mexico, Central America and the Isthmus of Panama, twelve knots speed, fort- nightly service, $120,000. The same requirement, as to the en- rollment of naval volunteers, is made of steamships obtaining such mail con- tracts as is exacted of vessels obtaining subvention. The tonnage tax on foreign vessels entered in United States ports is pro- vided for in section eight, as follows: That & duty of 8 cents per net ton, mot to exceed in the aggregate S0°cents per net ton in any one year,.is hereby imposed at each en- in any port of the United States from any for- elgn port or place in North America, Central America, the West India Islands, the Bahama Islands, ' the Bermuda Islands, 'the coast of South America bordering on the Caribbean Sea, or Newfoundland; and & duty of 16 cents per met ton, not to exceed in the aggregate $1 60 per net ‘ton in any one year, is hereby imposed at each entry by sea op all vessels which shall be entered in any poft of the United States from any other foreign port or place, not, how- ever, to include the vessels in distress or not engaged in trade.

Such payment | ‘shall not be made after July-1, 1807, except in spect of any boy who {s enrofled in the naval volunteers, or s an apprentice indentured in | accordance with law. : | Section.10 repeals all conflicting acts | and section 11 fixek July 1, 1905, as the time the proposed legislation shall | take effect. GREAT SAVING POSSIBLE. An adequate American ocean fleet, the commission says, would mean the saving to this country of $100,000,000 a year, which now goes to build up the commercial power .and naval strength of Europe and Asia. It is strongly emphasized by the commission that the nayal subventions offered in the proposed bill are not ‘bounties outright or mere commercial subsidies, but are distinctly based on important public services to be given by the ships and ship-owners that re- ceive them. In the proposed bill not one dollar is added to the expenditures for any one of the five established contract ocean malil lines. The present ocean mall act is not_ amended except as to certain specific new routes to be estab- lished and the new requirement as to naval volunteers. citizen or citizens of the | 21 years of age, suitably | MOODY SCORES BEEF COMBINE Argues Before the Supreme Court of Nation That It Is a Merciless Corporation R N OPPRESSIVE CONTROL Attorney General Declares That a Clear Case of Con- spiracy Has Been Show WASHINGTON; Jan. 4.—The brief of the Government in the case of Swift & Co. vs. the United States, known as the beef trust case, pre: pared by Attorney - General Moody, was presented to the Supreme Court of the United States to-day. The brief is devoted principally to an ar- gument to show that the packers are engaged in a conspiracy to monopo- lize interstate commerce in fresh meats. The Attorney General says: It may be remarked that Judges have dif- fered as to the validity of agsregations of capital eftected by ' some forms of organic union between several smaller and competing corporations, and economists are far from agreed that'such aggregations, within limita. tions, are hurtful. So, too, assoclations of manufacturers to_regulate competition within a restricted area have not alwa; con-— demned by courts and have sometimes been approved by publicists. But has a responsible voice yet been heard to justify, legally or eco- nomically, a conspiracy or agreement between nearly all the producers of & commodity neces- sary to life by which the confederates acquire abeolute control and dominion over the pro- duction, sale and distribution of that modity ' throughout the entire territory zation, with the power at will to ralse prices to_the consumer of the finished product and lower prices to the producer of the raw ma- terlal?” Yet such is the case mow at the bar of this court. That there is a conspiracy to control the market of the nation for fresh meats, that it does control it, and that its control is merci- less and oppressive, -aro fa men. The broad question here is, does the Government's petition with its statements of fact. standing unchallenged, discover that con miracy to the court? We submit that it ddes a at the decree of the civil in all things be affirmed. e e BUREAU CHIEFS NAMED. New Posts for Admiral Converse and Captain Mason.

CALL BUREAU, POST BUILDING, ! WASHINGTON, Jan. 4—It is safe to | say that the statehood bill, given the right of way in the Senate to-day, will | not pass at this session. The Demo- crats are united against it and show an intention to filibuster. Senator Tel- !ler in an interview to-night said flatly that the bill would not be allowed to come to a vote. Senafor Foraker, who | introduced an amendment, which re- | quires a majority vote of both Arizona and New Mexico to r-ake the law op- erative, also stated in an interview | that the bill would never pass in its present shape. Teller's opposition to | the bill would probably be withdrawn if Foraker’'s amendment prevails. Sen- | ator Bard will make a speech against the bill to-morrow. Upon reconvening to-dayeafter the | holiday recess the Senate plunged d | rectly into the consideration of the | statehood bill. The reading of the bill | being concluded, Bate moved to commit that measure because the tes- timony taken before the Committee on Territories had not been reported, ren- dering it_difficult to make a minority | report. He pleaded against undue haste in the matter and argued against the consolidation of the four Territo- ries into two States. Referring to the proposed union of Arizona and New Mexico, he said they would make a State of greater area than is comprised in all the New Eng- land States, with New York, New Jer- sey and Pennsylvania added. The only reason for the consolidation was found, he said, in the desire to prevent an in- crease of United States Senators. Bate’s motion was votéd down, 15 to | 31, Heyburn voting with the Democrats for recommittal. Nelson supported the bill as reported by the committee. Referring especially to the Territories of Oklahoma and In- dian Territory, he said they were so constituted as to be the complement each of the other.

I think I have done so. } ““One of the things | have found | out to my entire satisfaction is the | proper thing for ailments that are due directly to the effects of the | climate. For 116 years | have wrth- stood the changeable climate of the United States. “I have always been a very healthy man, but, of course, subject to the affec- tions which are due to sudden c in the climate and temperature.

It protects me from the evil effects of sudden changes; it keeps me in good ap- petite; it gives me strength; it keeps my blood in good circulation. I have come to rely upon it almost entirely for the many lfttle things for which I need med- icine. “When epidemics of la grippe first be- (e their appearance in this gan to country I was a sufferer from this dis- ease. “I had several long sieges with the grip. At first | did not know that Peruna was a remedy for this disease. When | heard that /a grippe was epidemic catarrh, | tried Peruna for la grippe and found it to be just the thing.”’ In a letter dated January 31, 1908, Mr. Brock writes: “I am well and feeling as well as T have for years. The only thing that bothers me is my sight. If I could see better I could walk all over the farm and it would do me good. I would not be without Peruna.” 1 Yours truly, Jpr c%m/zi, ‘When,old age comes, it brings with it catgrrhal diseases.

It is the only remedy | vet devised that entirely meets these | cases. Pe¢-ru-na Contains No Narcotics. One reason why Peruna has found per- manent use in 5o many homes is that it contains no narcotics of any kind. Pe- runa is perfectly harmless. It can be | used any length of time without acquir- | ing a drug habit. Peruna does not pro- duce temporary results. It is permanent in its effect. It has no bad effect upon the system, and gradually eliminates catarrh by re- moving the cause of catarrh. There are a multitude of homes where Peruna has been used off and on for twenty years. Such a thing could not be possible if Peruna contained any drugs of a narcotic nature. STATION TMMIGRANT i FOR ANGEL ISLAND Metcalf Favors Appropriation $250,000 for the Proposed Buildings. WASHINGTON, Jan. ‘¢.—Secretary Metcalf of the Department of Com- merce and Labor, in a letter setting forth the needs of a detention station at San Francisco for the examination of immigrants, has submitted to Speaker Cannon a detailed estimate of the cost, as proposed by Walter T.
