H. C. Green of Hood River writes:

y Well, there' goes the sunlight for the
day. Mr, Greene has almost knocked
the Joy out of living, and if it wer not
lor this answer of W. M. Candy, the
pussle editor would Tt very sad. But
-Mr. Candy says: , .
"The solution f yoar skidoo prob-
; lent is: rind the least common mul
tiple of the numbers 2 to 22. inclusive,
and add 1; this gives '222.722.SU pen
. ais."
. Now WU1 Mn Greene be good? '
, Closing the Oevtee. , .
Her Is a rather Important announce
ment: The skidoo problem has brought
in from 76 to 12 letters a day sine It
as started; this makes It the most
popular contest of the sort that was
ver begun in a Portland -paper; but a
limit has got to be put to the time for
receiving answers. The time Is: '
'. Sunday. December .
'; :.' ' This means that replies received after
? that date will not be counted. As sooa
v as possible after Decern ber very
1 probably on Sunday, December II, the
- names of the winners will be announced.
. The temptation waa great to close the
: contest en December 1. and announce
the names of the winners on December
; 21, but the number 22 has cropped up
z ma often ia tbe skidoo column that tha
" UU was advanced a week. Don't for
( get that the- prise is for to best soU-
Won. Get tn your answers before De
cember t. Here are some callings from
today's msll-v . , . ... - -
' What frank Xestef Thinks,
The deluded people who send in 121
for an answer are incorrect; 62 -will
not divide by 6 so ss to leave 1 over. I
do not think that this Is a mathematical
problem. The1 correct anawer la skidoo

. Many of those vTho have Joined The
Journal Skidoo- elub-p-th only rules of
Initiation consist of sending in aa an
swsr to the pussle hsvs an idea that
23, so universally acquainted with the
term. Is the correct answer. Possibly
even probably It ts; nothing Is Impos
sible or Improbable with the akldoos.
Here are the names of those who think
there wer 22 pennies in the boxes:
John Nelson. 1182 ' Drummond street;
Fred Huber. 270 Sellwood street; H.

Some of the Skidoo club member
have given anawers that run from mod
eat mlUiona Into figures thst the mind
of the ordinary man falls to grasp
readily.' But the solutions may be right;
if there I anything in ambition and
industry they should be right. --

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL
rw People Know Mow Useful It Zs ts
sTtoesiiiay Kealta aa Seaaty.,
Costa sTotalas' to Try.
LrXewlr' eveiybudy knows that "CTiar-
eoai is tne sareat ana - moat efficient
disinfectant and purifier In nature, but
few realise Us value whan taken into
the human system for the same cleans
ing 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
tbe 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 tb
teeth and further acta as a natural and
eminently safe cahurtla. ..
It absorbs the injurious gases which
collect In. the stomach and bowela; 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 moat for tha money
Is In s Stuart's Charcoal Losenges; they
sre composed of. the finest powdered
Willow charcoal, and other harmless
antiseptics In tablet form or rather in
the form of large, pleasant tasting
losenges, the charcoal being mixed with
honey."
The daily us' of these loseng will
aoon.tell.ia -a saaaA4sprovet centft
tlon of the- general health, better com
plexion, - sweeter breath and. purer
blood, and the beauty of It Is, that np
possible harm can result frqm their con
tinued use, but. on the contrary, great
benefit.
A Buffalo physician. In speaking of
the benefits of charcoal, ssys: "I ad
vise Stuart's Charcoal Losenges to sll
patients suffering from gss in stomseb
and bowels, and to clear the complex
ion and purify the breath, mouth and
throat; I also believe the liver is great
ly benefited by the daily use of them;
they cost but twenty-five cent a box
at drug store a, and although in. some
sense a patent preparation, ' yet I be
lieve I get more and better charcoal .In
Stuart' Charcoal Losenges than in any
of th ordinary charcoal tablets."
