THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful It it In
Preserving Health and Beauty.
Nearly everybody knows that char-
goal Is the safest and most efficient
disinfectant and purifier in nature but
tew realise ns value when taken into
the human system for the same clean-
ting 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
gases and impurities always present
In the uromach and intestines and
carries them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking drinking or after eating
onions and other odorous vegetables.
Cha coal effectually clears and Un
proves the complexion it whitens the
tpeth and further acts as a natural
and eminently safe cathartic.
If absorbs the Injurious gases which
collect 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
is in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges;
they arc composed of the finest pow-
dered Willow charcoal and other
harmless antiseptics in tablet form or
rather In the form of large pleasant
tasting lotenges the charcoal being
mixed with honey.
The daily use of these lozenges will
soon tell in a much Improved condi-
tion of the general health better com-
plexion. sweeter breath and purer
blood and the beauty of tt 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 ad-
vise Stuart’s Charcoal Ixizcngea to all
patients suffering from gas in stomach
and bowels and to clear the complex-
ion and purify the breath mouth and
throat; I also believe the liver is
greatly benefited by the dally use of
them; they cost hut twenty-five cents
a box at drug stores and although in
some sense a patent preparation yet
I believe I get more and better char-
coal tn Stfiart’s Charcoal lozenges
than in any of the ordinary charcoal
tablets.”

A NEW DEPARTURE IN INDUS
TRIAL CAMPAIGN
National Biscuit Company Sends Spe-
cial Representatives to San Antonio
on important Mission.
San Antonio has been invaded. For
tbe time being it is the headquarters
of the special reception and exhibition
committee of the National Biscuit
Company who are now in the city.
Already evidences of their coming aro
apparent and there is more to follow.
The purpose of their visit will be ac-
complished tomorrow afternoon when
a reception will be given at 214 West
Commerce street to which all the
of San Antonio and vicinity are
cordially invited.
Thu object of the entire undertaking
is U» enable the public to satisfactori-
ly answer the now celebrated ques-
tion. ’’Do You Know Uneeda Biscuit?”
and incidentally acquaint them with
many other delicious products of the
baker's art as manufactured by the
National Biscuit Company
The popularity of Uneeda Biscuit
has been earned within the last five
years and is an example of good busi-
ness Judgment. Six years ago the Na-
tional BLcuit Company came to the
conclusion that the time had arrived
when the American public was ready
for something better than the common
soda crackers put on the market in
barrels and boxes delivered to the
consumer in a paper bag more or less
damaged and defiled without a spon-
sor and without a name. The idea
was. first a cracker as nearly culinary
perfection as it was possible to manu-
facture. Then to protect this perfec-
tion by inclosing it in a package which
should gxclude al) air dust and mois-
ture. and finally to guarantee tho
whole to the consumer by the trade
mark of the National Biscuit Company
on each end of the package. Of the
appreciation of the consumer the sale
of more than three hundred million
packages of Uneeda Biscuits bears the
best witness.
The same methods that have proved
so successful with Uneeda Biscuit
have also been extended by the Na-
t'onal Biscnit Company to many other
lines of biscuit crackers and Wafers
such as Butter Thin Biscuit Graham
Crackers. Oysterettes Social Tea Bis-
cuit Zu Zu Ginger Snaps and others.
No matter what is wanted whether a
cracker for the sobp or the most de-
licious wafer for dessert it can be
purchased any time anywhere with
the absolute surety of always getting
It fresh and good.
Nabisco Sugar Wafers and Festino
Almonds are two of the delicacies that
will be served with the refreshments
at the reception. They are among
the most delicious of tbe products of
the National Biscuit Company and are
especially appropriate as desert con-
fections.
Every lady In San Antonio Is cor-
dially invited and should be present at
the reception which will be held at
214 West Commerce street tomorrow
afternoon from two until five o'clock.
Appropriate refo will he
served under the supervision of a chef
who accompanies the reception com-
mittee. The musical features of the
entertainment will be ably rendered
by Lovece’s Orchestra and a hearty
welcome extended to every guest.

FOOD AND STUDY.
A College Man’s Experience.
"All through my high school course
and first year in college" writes an
ambitious young man "I struggled
with my studies on a diet of greasy
pasty foods being especially fond of
cakes and fried things My system
got into a state of general disorder and
It was difficult for me to apply myself
to school work with any degree ot
satisfaction. I tried different medi-
cines and food preparations hut did
not seem able to correct the difficulty.
"Then my attention was called to
Grape-Nuts food and I sampled It. I
had to do something so I Just buckled
down to a rigid observance of the di-
rections on the package and in less
than no time began to feel better. In
a few weeks my strength was restored
my weigh! had increased. I had a
clearer head and felt better in every
particular. My work was simply sport
to what It was formerly.
"My sister’s health was badly run
down and she had become so nervous
that she could not attekd to her music.
She went on Grape-Nuts and had the
same remarkable experience that I
had. Then my brother. Frank who is
in the postoffice department at Wash-
ington city and had been trying to do
brain work on greasy foods cakes and
all that. Joined the Grape-Nuts armv.
I showed him what it was and could
do and from a broken-down condition
he has developed into a hearty and
efficient man.

ally and physically by tip? use ofrthfs

ATTRIBUTES DOWNFALL
TO SCHOOL SYSTEM
ALVIN WALTHERS TELLS OF
CAUSES LEADING TO SON’S
DIFFICULTY.
School Teacher s Should Be Such as
to Manage Bo ya and if Women Can-
not Do So. Should Have Men to
Teach Schools—After Being Ex-
pelled From School Boy Got In Bad
Company.
Officers Alvin Walthers whose son
Fritz was implicated in the box car
rebbery near Macdona with several
other boys some of whom were sen-
teuced J' o May by thg court a
statement this morning attributes the
cause to tbe system of teaching in
the public schools.
“I have heard it mentioned” said
Officer Walthers "that it was because
tbe parents of the boy did not take
proper care of him that the boy got
into the trouble. 1 want to deny this
most emphatically. I have done every-
thing in my power to make a good boy
of him and may say that I never
stopped until I bad. exhausted every
means in my power to do so."
“The boy was a good lioy until he
was expelled from school and 1 at-
tribute the present difficulty to that
one act. I had informed the school
authorities not to expel) him under
any consideration and gave them my
authority to punish the boy whenever
he deserved it. Later the teacher
camo to me and said that she was un-
able to manage the boy.”
“If the teacher could not manage a
small boy like that then In all can-
dor I pili say what business had she
to teach school. I think the system
wrong. Since that time the boy grew
worse. He being expelled from school
became associated with bad boys and
once having tasted of the ways of
the outside world could not be
changed regardless of my utmost en-
deavors.”

Singer Manufacturing Company Files
Plans for Structure In New York
Which With the Exception cf the
Eiffel Tower Will Be the Loftiest
Structure In the World—It Will
Cost $1500000.
Associated Press.
New York. Feb. 22.—The Singer Man-
ufacturing company filed plans yester-
day with Buildings Superintendent
Murphy for a structure which will be
higher than all existing skyscrapers
by from 200 anil 300 feet and will be
utiuut 4o feet aigber than the Wan-
ington monument.
Accompanying the improvement of
the property which it already owns
a (joining its present building at Broad-
way and Liberty street the company
will erect over the central part of the
enlarged structure a tower of forty
stories which will rise to the height
of 593 feet. 10 inches. The tower will
be 63 feet square for 36 stories and
will be surmounted by a dome contain-
ing four additional stories above of
which will be a cupalo and a flagstaff.
Borings have been turned over the
area to be covered by the tower aud
it has been found that there will be uo
difficulty in reaching a sufficient firm
foundation on bed rock to carry the
enormous weight. All engineering
problems in connection w-ith the pro-
ject it is said have been satisfacto-
rily worked out
The total cost ot the Improvements
including the tower as estimated by
tho company's architect is $1500000.
With the xception of the Eiffel
