What Is
PURIFINE?

It is the new disinfectant which
has superseded all other disinfect-
ants, being a scientific compound,
having no odor, yet possessing the
qualities of powerful disinfectant
The automatic distributor should
be placed in every house in Homo
lulu. where doors and germs of dis
ease exist. They are placed free
of charge, taken care of and kept
working day and night for $1.00
per month. It's an innovation, but
on scientific principles, and ap-
peals to everyone of common sense.
The idea is this: The distributor
drops two drops minute, day and
night. Foul odors are killed, yet
no disagreeable smell of carbolic
acid or crude disinfectants takes
it's place. You don't know that a
powerful disinfectant is being used
if you judge by the lack of odor
But it's doing the duty-doing it
well. Can we show you the Ideal
Automatic Distributore' Our Mr..
Washburn will call, if you'll tele-

-Commissionor Washburu registers q

kick against the Enterprises statement
TINT Mr.. Washburn misrepresented
the views OF tho Republicans OF Otero
county. He seeks to evade tho force Of
the charge by alleging TINT the only Re-
publicans there arc in the county are
those who support Mckinley. He claims
that those Republicans who have do
clared for Bryan are Democrats and
should have nothing to say in the affairs
OF the Republican party. But Mr..
Washbun is badly wrong. A large ma
jority OF the Republicans Of Otero county
will vote for Brynn and at the samo time
arc anxious to support straight Republi.
can state and Legislative tickets. Such
men can not be read out Of tho party
with any show OF justice. They are Re-
publicans and intend to remain Republi.
ems, but on one vital issue propose to
place principle above partisan feeling.
Mr.. Washburn was chosen member Of
the state central committee because Of
his pronounced free silvor views and his
advocacy Of Teller's reelection. Had
Mr.. Washburn expressed his present
views at the county convention which
named him rs member OF tho state cen.
trail committee he would never have had
the opportunity to give encouragement
to the nnti.silver leaders Of tho east by

terests OF agriculture and horticulture
will mnke joint display OF tho products

people Of tho several counties of Colo.

exhibits. Arrangements are made where
by no charges will be made to exhibitors
