existing laws by the class of saloon
keepers who run disreputable places.
If the measure is passed it will prob
ably result in the raising of licenses
in practically every city In the state
in order that the revenues may not be
impaired. This, Senator Moon argues,
will also be a move in the right direc
tion and will tend to establish a high
er standard of citizenship among
saloonkeepers and liquor dealers gen
erally.
Traveling Men Happy.
Traveling men throughout Iowa will
have cause to jubilate over the report
of the public health committee in the
senate today, which will carry a fa
vorable recommendation on the O'Con
nor bill for the inspection of hotels
and for fire escapes and other provis
ions for safety and sanitary measures.
The bill by Smith of Mitchell, intro
liouse and is recommended for_ pas
sage by the senate without change.
The bil lby Smith of Mitchell, intro
duced in the senate and providing for
the same measures as are carried by
the O'Connor bill, is recommended for
indefinite postponement by the sen
ate committee, through an agreement
between the authors of the two bills.
Without excepting fire proof hotels,
the bill further provides for inspection
of all hotels by state inspectors, who
shall enforce the laws as to fire protec
tion and sanitary conditions. The
measures relating to the construction
of fire escapes and the placing of ropes
for the use of guests in escaping from
their rooms in cause of fire contain
some provisions which are being
fought by the representatives of the
hotels which are not of fire proof con
struction.

In the Morning
Try a Charcoal Lozenger and a Glass
of Water if Your Breath is Foul
and Your Mouth
Tastes Bad.
Immediately upon arising in the
morning, should you have a bad breath
and a disagreeable taste in your mouth
try a charcoal lozenger. Simply chew
the lozenger up as you would so much
candy and drink a glass of water,
washing it down into the stomach in
this manner. The effect is almost mag
ical. The mouth becomes sweet and
the breath pure and fragrant In a very
short time.
After a few days you will notice
that your stomach is digesting food
much better. All traces of gases and
sour stomach will disappear and the
perfect assimilation promoted by a
healthy stomach will build up strength
and muscle and your bad breath and
coated tongue will be a thia.? of tl
past.
Give Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges a
trial, remits are ast-ured and posi
tively no bad effect can aris-3 from
the use ol charcoal. Stuart's Charcoal
Lozenges are made of young willow
vood charcoal and pure, fresh honey,
taken direct from the bee hive. You
may eat all you want, give them to
every member of the family. They
will cleanse" and purify the stomach
and keep it clean and sweet.
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges are good
for everybody at any time. Try them.
For sale everywhere, 25 cents per box.
Sample box will be sent free by mail
upon request. Address F. A. Stuart

Will Suspend Action,
"I was sorry to have this romance
come to such a sad end," said Father
Romenelll yesterday, "but I must take
every precaution to protest the inno
cent party. I received a cablegram
announcing that there was a wife and
child in Italy, but I must hear more
before I decide not to let the marriage
go on. I will suspend the bans until I
hear again from Italy. I am sure in
my own mind that Sarconi has ao
wife and child."
