Tha City Council has approved the Fermentation and Flatulence Prevented In the Stomach by Charcoal, the Great Absorbent, Anti-Fermentative and Deodorant. V Some vears ago Dr. Belloc a retired surgeon of the French army, turned I his attention to charcoal as a remedy , for dyspepsia, fermentation and flat ulence, or gas In the stomach and in testines. He was himself a sufferer from these symptoms, and thus had an opportunity of testing personally lu therapeutic action. He decided after many tests that charcoal made of willow wood was by far the best. He found that charcoal made of other woods caused a disa greeable taste In the mouth even painful excoriations of the mucous membrane, as well as thirst, and a pinching sensation in the stomach; but not one of these symptoms ever oc curred when willow charcoal was em ployed. He was in the habit of prescribing from two to six teaspoonfuls for his patients, but he himself frequently took as much as 600 grammes, or more than fifteen ounces per day. Thera is really no such thing as taking too much charcoal. An excess cannot be taken, for the reason that the more you take the better it is for you, as it Is entirely harmless, and through its use your system will be completely cleansed of all its impurities, the fer mentation of food and the formation of gas in the stomach prevented and the absorption of toxic products or poisonous materlallnto the blood from the Btomach and lntes.mes estopped. When a regular physician took as much as fifteen ounces of charcoal dally. Its harmlessness and beneficial effects as an absorbent, deodorant, germ - destroyer and dyspepsia cure should be apparent to all. The Academe Nationale de Medicine of Purls reported very favorably on a memoir which Dr. Belloc published on the use of charcol, and in France it soon became a favorite remedy. Its reputation spread to this country and now we find charcoal lozenges exten sively sold, prescribed and employed as dyspepsia remedies. Dr. Belloc's charcoal was administered to his pa tients in tbe form of a powder stirred up in water, whicn was very disagree able to the taste; and Its efficacy was far less than In the form of a lozenge. Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges are a great and happy improvement upon this form of administering charcoal. They aro made of the best willow char -al, freshly prepared, and ren dered exceedingly palatable by the ad dition of pure honey, which gives them a taste that Is in. strong contrast to that of ordinary powdered charcoal. Nothing could be more efficacious in ts effects than charcoal given In this desirable form. Two or threa of Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges taken after meals arc sufficient to give complete relief. Go to your druggist and buy a box, but Insist on having Stuart's, as there are many worthless Imitations on the market, not made of willow wood, but of poplar, box-wood, dog wood, etc., which are uot good for the system. For sale everywhere, 23 cents per box. - Sample box wll be sent free by mail upon request. Address F. A.

The wrecked train left Philadelphia this morning, and was running at fair speed, when near Brunswick street an engine running light on the adjoining track was met.

FRIENDS ARE ALL SILENT Public Still Speculajes Regarding Reported Engagement of lieo B. Westcott and Miss BlUie Burke. After a two-days" stay In Portland Mr. and Mrs. Robert J. Hanoock. of Ban Francisco, departed last night on the Shasta Limited, accompanied by Mrs. Hancock's son. Lee B. "Westcott. While this Is an ordinarily cold and formal statement, gossips would have the public believe that there is a very pretty romance concealed in the event, although the story ends with all the unsatlsfactori ness of the most elusive of problem novels. Misa Blllie Burke began an engage ment at the Bungalow Theater Thurs day night. That morning Lee Westcott arrived in town and registered at tha Portland Hotel, where Miss Burke and retinue had engaged apartments. It appears that Miss Burke bad been entertained by Mrs. Hancock in 8an Francisco before coming to Portland and when Lee. her son. arrived so closely following Miss Burke, California friends became Interested. If youth is always a mark of susceptibility. JUBt how sus ceptible Lea may be to Culpd'a art. may be known when it is told that he U a freshman In the University of California. Obviously Leo is too immature to marry, but Stepfather Hancock has dead loads of money, and when Leo left his studies and Journeyed north Mr and Mrs. Hancock. It is whispered, realizing the possibilities of such a movement in the wake of the petite Miss Burke, took the next train. They reached Portland Friday and also atopped at the Hotel Portland. What transpired there among' the several persons in the plot Is unknown even to the traditional little bird that Is generally flitting near by. When It Is suggested that Mr. West cott and Miss Burke may be engaged, there is a chorus of "Why the Idea," from Miss Burke, her manager, Mrs. Hancock and all the others. Friendship among the several characters seems un impaired, but those who have been ob servant say that Mr. Westcott waa not a close attendant upon Miss Burke after Mr. and Mrs. Hancock reached Portland. Miss Burke went automobiling Friday and Mr. Westcott was not in the party. There were no breakfasts or luncheons together nor after-theater parties. Now Mr. Westcott and' his parents have gone away and Miss Burke will depart today in another direction. The puzzle is, has Leo gone back to his studies under stress of parental, author ity, never to smile again, or has there been anything more than a series of co Incidences In the whole affair? WOMAN 'IS PUT IN JAIL (Continued from First Pag..) them," was the statement made by Chief of Police Sullivan tonight. Captain Weir reported the leaders as having no desire to starve for the cause. "Their appetites are excellent," said the Captain, "and the starvation proposition does not appeal to them as strongly as to the men of the rank and file. They are not among those who have refused to eat." Tho singing and shouting service of the I. w. W.'s, who now number 124 in Jail, continues at night, a veritable bedlam being created. In the morning 30 of the prisoners scattered their breakfast, which consisted of fried halibut, potatoes, bread and coffee, and broke th plates. Chief of Police Sullivan says he never saw such a filthy crowd of men. Tonight there were 24 meals served and 93 pris oners put on bread and water. X'ncle Sam Takes Hand. Names of the unnaturalixed L W. W. members participating in the defiance of city government In their so-called "free speech" . fights in this and other cities, will ba made a matter of record on the files of the head naturalisation office at Washington, D. C. according to plans advanced by Federal authorities today. A record of near-revolutionary activity could be made the' basis for the non-granting or revocation of cltisen shlp papers. Desk sergeants at the police station have been keeping a record of the names of the foreign born I. W. W. membeis, their native land, age, length of time In this cduntry, and If they have citizenship papers. Comparison of the Government records with the police data by the naturalization authorities will enable that branch to find the exact number of non-citizens in the "free speech" agitation, and to block their applications for citizenship papers. First Federal Interest Shown. The names of the I. W. W. members arrested during the present agitation In this city will be sent to the Wash ington, D. C, authorities. The plan IB an innovation in the combatting of the trouble, and marks the beginning of t'nele, Sam's appearance in the game.

CONTRACTS TO BE ' LET Bulky Postal Matter Sot Carried Over Trails in Winter Point Barrow May Be Reached Three Times Yearly. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Nov. 6. Improved service is one of the chief aims which the Poatoffice De partment is undertaking to accomplish in making new awards of mall contracts for Alaska for the four years beginning July 1. 1910. Bids for carrying the mails over all routes to and within Alaska have re cently been submitted to the department in response to advertisements issued June a and those bids are now being consid ered with a view to making awards where they can be placed to best advantage. On many of the routes in the interior of Alaska proposals were invited for serv ice with a maximum weight limit to be carried each trip, and also for service requiring the carrying of all mail offered. The difference in the rates named for the two classes of service will determine which class shall be provided. Cannon Overloaded. One of the great drawbacks to tne Alas ka mail service in times past has been the Inability of carriers to handle all mail turned over to them for, transmission. Particularly has this been true during the Winter season when travel is difficult, and heavy loads difficult of transmission. It is not expected that this difficulty can be entirely overcome at the approaching let ting of contracts, but as great a stride will be made in that direction as the bids justify. The department prefers, prices permitting, to award contracts to bidders who will agree to transmit all mail of fered. Parts of Alaska have enjoyed the bene fit of better roads in recent years, as a result of appropriations made by Con gress and work done by the- Army, and this circumstance has tended to facilitate the postal service, crude as iv yet may seem. Increase Called For. An Increase of 12 per cent in the weight of mails to be carried has been called for In the last general advertlse nT. th rtnrtment beinjf determined to exert every proper means to handle tha IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT SMARTLY DRESSED MEN WILL WEAR THIS SEASON, ASK BEN SELLING The BEN SELLING Standard of Quality and BEN SELLING Guarantee go with every garment I sell.

Men's Suits and Raincoats $20 to $40 Boys' Suits and Raincoats $5 to $20 Misses' Middy Blouses Ladies' and Misses' Raincoats Second Floor take elevator SELLING LEADING CLOTHIER largest quantity of mail possible through out the territory. During the coming Winter, when the roads will be difficult, It is thought that not less than 110,000 pounds of mail will be delivered by way of Valdez and Fair banks. This mail, of course, will go overland, but much of it will be trans mitted by horse teams wherever the roads are suitable. The more difficult stretches will be served by reindeer or dog teams. - All malls for Alaska go by way of Seattle. When navigation is open, all classes of mail are forwarded. When the Winter season sets in, however, the dispatch of mail, except for points on the southeastern coast, is limited. Preference is given then lirst to let ters and postals, and next to single newspapers addressed to public libra ries, publishers of newspapers and to individuals. Books, catalogues, news papers and periodicals sent to dealers in bulk and merchandise cannot be for warded to the interior of Alaska during the Winter season, usually between Oc tober 1 and June 1. The department announces that, ir possible, three instead, of two mails a year will be provided for Point Barrow, the northernmost postoftlce In the world, lying, as it does, within the Aro tic Circle. The Alaska mall routes Interior routes are from 150 to 650 miles long, and are traversed from twice a year to twice a week, depend ing upon the number of people to be served, and the accessibility of the various objective points. Heavier mails are carried each year, and the fre quency of the mails, especially between the larger settlements, is Increasing. STREET WILL BE OPENED i . Appraisers Are to Go Over Villa Avenue Tuesday. The county surveyor and appraisers will go over Villa avenue, extended, between the Reams and Baker roads Tuesday, to make final examination, according to orders of the County Court, with a view to opening the road. Seneca Smith and C. N. Rankin submitted a petition asking the County Court to open Villa avenue between these cross roads, and qualified In the sum of J300 to make good expenses of surveys in case it is not opened. The bonds verj approved. Tha road is to be made 80 feet wide, and when opened between Reams and Eaker roads further proceedings will be started to continue the road on to Fair view. Owners of property generally signed the petition and it is reasonably certain that the road will be opened. It now appears that the eastern or countv end of the road will be opened be fore the street la widened to 80 feet be tween the west side of Laurelhurst and the city limits. Proceedings for the street have dragged along for two years and have finally come to a halt. Butte Sends No Reinforcements. BUTTE. Mont., Nov. 6. No information of a confirmatory nature could be se cured here today relative to the report from Spokane that 200 representatives of the Industrial Workers of the World were expected from this city in a day or two to. reinforce the ranks of the street orators. Men affiliated with the I. W. W. here profess to know nothing about the reported exodus ot their brethren. Aged Man Accused of Fraud. PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 6.
