OBJECTION MADE TO
PLACARDING HOUSES
Men Whose Tots Are Sick
With Contagious Diseases
Want to Work

The ordinance introduced several
weeks ago in City Council by the
Board of Health providing for the
placarding of houses in which con-
tagious diseases prevail. is hung up
In the law committee of City Council
and there is a probability that it may
never be adopted. 1t is understood
that soon after the proS7sed new law
was presented by the Board Of Health,
many objections to it's passage were
received and for that reason the mat
ter has been allowed to lie dormant.
The objections we're principally re-
ceived from workingmen who do not
favor the ordinance because it would
inconvenience them in the event Of
one of the little members of their
families contracting diseases incidental
to children, such as membraneous
Group and other kindred diseases which
the Health oBard considers contagious.
These diseases are not prevalent
among adults and for that reason the
ordinance is objected to.
Many, however. believe that houses
in which diphtheria prevails should be
placarded and there is a likelihood Of
a change being made in the ordinance
i'm order to secure its adoption. Diph-
iberia is prevalent TO a large extent in
the southwestern section of the city
and is causing the Board of Health
alarm as an epidemic Of the disease is
feared.
DR.. Harrison w. Howell was dele
gated at the meeting Of the Board Of
Health this morning TO appeal to City
Council, showing the necessity of hav-
ing the ordinance passed. He will
probably appear before the law COM
rnittee Of Council tomorrow night.

ing low shot the prowler. The latter
dropped with a howl Of pain.

well was picking Dugan UP. The lat
ter was taken TO the Delaware Hospital
and Sidwell locked up on a charge OF

Only Oxygen.

Liquozone is simply liquid oxyren-no
drugs, no alcohol in il. II Is die dis.
covery of PAUL., the great German chem
ist, who spent 20 years on It. His object
was TO get such an excess Of oxygen In
staple form into the blood that no germ
could live in any membrane or tissue.
Liquozone does that. We spend "A
days in making every bottle, but the re-
suit is liquid oxygen-a germicide so Ger
tain that we publish on every bottle an
offer Of $1,000 for germ that it cannot
kill
Oxygen is a tonic to you-the most es-
sential element Of life. It's effects are ex-
hilarating, purifying, vitalizing Nothing
else is so good for you. But germs are
vegetables; and this excess Of oxygen
the very life Of an animal-is deadly tc
vegetable matter.

SOC. Bottle Free.
When Try LiquozOne-weTl Pay for it.

Medicine must fail in germ trouble,
because medicine never kills germs. ANY
germ-killing drug is a poison to you, and
it cannot be taken internally.
Liquozone-liquid oxygen-is the only
way that any man knows to kill germs in
the body without killing the tissues, too.
Its results in a germ trouble are abso-
lutely certain, for il always DESTROYS the
cause of the trouble. To prove this-if
you need tive will gladly nav for a
bottle aud give it to you to Try.
