cHlcAGo's BIG STOCK SHOW.
Fourth Annual Display of the Inter
national Exposition.

national Exposition.
With an attendance that surpassed
that of any previous first day, Chicago's
fourth annual International Live Stock
Exposition was formally opened to the
public.
Never before have so many breeders
sent the best products of their stock
farms to compete for the valuable prizes
offered by the International Live Stock
Association. Seventy-fve thousand dol
lars was TO be distributed in prizes be-
fore the show closed, and when Dexter
Park amphitheater was opened to the
public 12.500 of the worlds finest live
stock specimens were in stalls to he in
spected and judged.
An unusual interest has been shown in
the exposition this year by the stock
breeders of Canada. Many of the most
interesting and largest exhibits were
from the Dominion.
France and Belgium, England AND
Wales were also well represented in the
exhibition, and while in the last three
years the big annual show of live stock
was termed International this is the first
year that the association has come very
near realizing its ambition to make the
Chicago exposition of worldwide inter
est.
Before the next exposition the new
coliseum will be completed at a cost of
$4,000. 1t will adjoin Dexter Park pa
vilion on the south, and will have a seat
ing capacity of $4,000

TIckETs,oF-LEAvE IN ENGLAND.
Ex- convicts Who Can Afford Smart
Vehicles.

A Stratford England magistrate
says he knows ticket-of-leave men who
drive up to the police station in car
riages to report themselves, leaving the
offices with smiling faces. The police.
who should know, say they would like
to see them.
Most of the ex-conyicts reporting
their whereabouts to Us come TO the
station wearing odd boots" said a city
police officer. They scarcely have the
money TO pay for a drink, much less
a cab. while q carriage is out of the
question"
While such cases may be uncommon.
however, the fact remains that there
are men who, leaving a penal estab-
lishment, return to enjoy ill-gotten
wealth and TO partake OF the pleasures
of idleness. says the London Mail.
Three years ago a business man who
had suffered imprisonment for serious
charges of fraud drove up to a police
station to report himself, leaving In q
smart brougham inside his two well
dressed daughters, and wearing the
tall hat and frock coat of respectable
ty. He asked for the superintendent in
the ARREST of manners. saying ne had
to see hirn.on "a matter of private bust
ness" Only the severe and gruff man
ager of the station sergeant, who rec
ognized him, brought him to realize
his position.
The man whom the Stratford magls-
trate sent 10 Jail for his failure TO
report himself every month said that
he had been turned away from his
work and lodgings on two occasions
when it was discovered that be mad

that with the Home Secretary's per-
mission ex-conyicts are allowed to re-
port themselves by letter.

turned up, the average woman
turns hats up. If milliner says
hats down, down they go. If
our tailor says long coat is
the thing, we wear long coats though
the heavens fall. A dress suit before
6 o'clock is a scandal. anything else
after is a crime.
And so it goes. The man or woman
who dresses to be comfortable is &
the man or woman who lives a life
out simply, naturally and individually
is set down as a degenerate.
But this artificial life of ours goes
worse things still. 1t is the cause of a
good part of our modern dishonesties
First it makes us pretend to be what
we are not. To keep up appearances
people wear clothes which they have
not paid for and cannot afford. To
march with the procession people eat
food for which they have not paid the
grocer, live in houses with rent in ar.
rears, affect a style of life ard living
they have no visible means of support
ing. The cheapest of hypocrites is the
hypocrite for appearances sake.
Living at our present pace is respon-
sible for the most of our modern
crimes. From the snare of small debts,
brought on by expensive living, many
man seeks to escape by uncertain
speculations and finally by certain pee
ulations.
We cannot go back TO the outward
simplicities of former days. 1t may be
desirable, but it is impossible. But
we can cultivate the spirit of simple
ity, live within our means, follow our
own tastes, wrest more of Joy from
life than we do. and act like sane,
human beings, instead of the crazy,
jaded, overworked, overplayed, over.

This company, after testing Liquozone
sor two years in the most difficult germ

States rights. That is by far the highest
price ever paid for similar rights on any
scientific discovery.

value Of Liquozone. The most worthless
product may have great claims made
about it; but men don't pay a price like
that save for discovery Of remarkable
worth to humanity.

Kills Inside Germs.

Liquozone alone kills germs in the body
without killing the tissues, too. 1t is 50
certain that we publish on every bottle
an offer of s., 900 for diseaseger that it
cannot kill. Liquozone destroys at once
and forever the cause Of any germ disease.
And there Is no other way to do It..
ANY drug that kills germs is poison to
you, and it cannot be taken internally.
Liquozone alone can attack a trouble
that is caused by inside germs; and it
cures diseases which medicine never
cured.

F. Columbus, O., Oct. 1.-THE PROPOSE
ton to amend the taxation section of

discussion. In some quarters it is be-

The Ohio State Federation of Cath
