What Facts They Are!

am pleased to be able to inform
you that L am very much benefited,
in fact almost entirely cured from
using Liquozone. This is certainly
a wonderful cure, for the reason
that my complaint; nasal catarrh,
had become extremely severe, be-
ing of FIVE years standing and
having become chronic. During
the past five years L have used
every catarrh remedy 1 heard of,
but received no material Benefit
from any of them.
A friend induced me to try
Liquozone. 1 had used it but a
few days when 1 experienced
material benefit. l continued its
use Systematically, and continued
to improve. 1 have now used
about half a dozen bottles, and
feel that I am almost entirely
cured. 1 know f<om the progress
1 have made with its use that my
entire system will be cleared of the
germ by the use of just few more
bottles; and that not only will my
catarrh be entirely and perna-
nently cured but my whole system
will be purified and built up. 1
have great faith in I,iquozone, and
cheerfully recommend it to suffer
ers of like disease. (Signed) L.
E. Adams, 7o5 Dearborn Bldg,
Chicago.
Honest statement that! Merely
gives facts, and what facts they
arel If everybody who suffered
from catarrh knew about Liqu-
ozone, the uo-drug method of curing
disease, there would be less catarrh,
more people having Mr.. Adams
experience. Send 10 cents in
stamps or-coin for our special five
days treatment. 1t will give you
all idea as to The value of using
Liquozone.' Kindly mention this

The Mistake of Cecil Rhodes Life

There is much comment being made
as TO the character of Cecil Rhodes,
whose dream of empire was inter
rupted by death. and there are few
critics who have n kind word to say
for him other than that he was n
fearless financial giant. That may
or may not be creditable to him.
There is difference of opinion on that
point. At all events it is well to re-
serve severe criticism of the dead.
One thing can be said of Cecil
Rhodes. however. He lived life
which may prove lesson of great
value to those who live after him.
Cecil Rhodes love of gold was his
fault. Rhodes did not fairly repre-
sent the English nation-let us hope
not-says the New York Evening
Post. but he did exemplify pretty ac-
curately the spirit in which it went
TO war with the Transvaal. Like
him. il was overweeningly confident
of the power of money; like him, it
was not too scrupulous about the
means. provided the end seemed good.
To possess unlimited wealth meant
to it, as to him. to be able to carry
out your grandiose ideas.
But Rhodes and the English govern
ment were alike in failing to reckon

REPRESENTING Conry of Massachu-

Representative COnry of Massachu-
setts recently sent out a general
consignment of garden and flower
seeds. The other day he received n
nice letter from Il lady in Boston
acknowledging the receipt of seeds.
She said there was a plot of ground
in her back yard which she had long
desired to make blossom as the rose.
but poverty had prevented. Now.
through the kindness of Mr.. COnry.
she had the necessary materials to
carry out her wishes. In view of his
generosity in sending the seeds, she
hoped he would forward her at once
a full set of garden tools. a lawn
mower, and 100 feet of hose with
which to keep the plants watered.

why He Never Tired.

He had taken pains when he applied
for work to assure the farmer that he
never got tired. When his new employ
er went to the field where he had put
the man at work, he found him lolling
on his back under a tree.
what does this meanT' asked the
farmer. 'T thought you were a man
who never got tired?"

tOus Subsidy.


tOus Subsidy.
This is the warning of the Chicago
Tribune. Will it he needed?
The program of some republican
house members to postpone action on
the ship subsidy bill is not wise. 1t is
always mistake To underrate popu-
lar intelligence. The people of the
United States are not dull. Even If
they were less well acquainted than
they are with the petty tricks of
politicians they could not be fooled
by so transparent device as that of
temporarily pOstponing action upon
a measure with which they are fa-
miliar and concerning which they
have formed positive opinions. This
is an old shop-worn device. 1t en-
ables representatives who seek re-
election TO gO before~the voters with
out weakening their chances by vot-
ing FOR an unpopular measure. In
the event of defeat these representa-
tives, freed from all sense of respon-
sibility and influenced by financial
and other redsons will be at liberty
to support the obnoxious measure.
If this ship subsidy bill is permitted
to slumber in the house il will become
one of the lively issues of the cam
paign. Speakers on every stump Will
he asked TO discuss it. The repub-
Leans will he expected to defend il or
convict their own party of that kind
of Il blunder which * nearly AKIN to
a crime. The situation is something
like this: If the bill has merit it
should be passed now. If il has NO
merit il should he defeated now.
Whether il is bad or q good measure
it should not he postponed. but
should he voted ON according To its
merits. The republicans in the house
should have the courage of their con-
victions, whatever those convictions
or lack of them may be.
The country should he Informed

TWO SILENT WORKERS.
Washington Times.

Warrington Times.
Representative Glenn of Idaho is
one OF the new members of Congress
who has won distinction for himself,
and established record in the face
of adverse circumstances. Being
member of the minority, he has not
had the opportunity of being heard
on the floor, but has done effective
work in other ways.
He is hard and conscientious
worker, and it is due to his efforts
and those of Senator Turner that the
Democratic Congressional committee
was lined up in favor Of irrigation,
and that the committee gave it's un-
animous Endorsement of the propo-
sition and adopted it as policy.
While attending to his other duties
he has been instrumental in thus
making potential issue for the
Democracy in the West.
Representative Randell of Texas,
like Mr.. Glenn, works without max
ing q noise about it. 1t was he who
was responsible for the Democratic
caucuses that resulted in bringing
about harmony in the Democratic
ranks. He drafted the Boer resolu-
ton, and obtained caucus on the
same day that it passed by a unani-
NOUS vote.
Resolutions had been introduced
by many members of long experience
but were pigeonholed by committees.
The RaDdell resolution was couched
in such language that 1t met with the
appreciation of his colleagues.
Both representative Glenn and Rep
resenahve Randell have gained APP
probation among their colleagues,
and should it so happen that their
party is successful in organizing the
next House they will receive due
recognition.

A NEW DEPARTURE

The Chicago, Milwaukee & st.
Paul Railway has recently put in
service on it's Pioneer Limited trains
the largest and hsndsomest dining
car ever built 1t is 80 feet in
length from tip to tip, and its body
is inches wider and higher than
the usual dining car. 1t seats SO
people comfortably in movable
chairs, and has a kitchen large
enough 10 permit the working of six
cooks which with six walters and a
conductor make up the crew. The
dining cars heretofore in service did
not provide sufficient space to prop
erIy care for the large number of
patrons of the Pioneer, 80 that it
became necessary to have a larger
Car.
