This company, after testing Liquozone
for two years in the most difficult germ
diseases, paid 500, 600 for the United
States rights. That is by far the highest
price ever paid for similar rights on any
scientific discovery.
We publish this fact to show you the
value of Liquozone. The most worthless
product may have great claims made
about it; but men don't pay price like
that save for a discovery of remarkable
worth to humanity

Kills In side Germs.

Liquozone alone kills germs in the body
without killing the tissues, too. 1t is so
certain that we publish on every bottle
an offer of 81 900 for disease germ 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 a 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.

DISTRICT A STRONGHOLD
FOR SOCIALIST PARTY
Established Only Few Years Ago, Lo-
cal Organization Becomes Important
Link-Fear of nti-Socialists.

The rapid growth of socialism in the
District of Columbia has called forth
expressions of satisfaction from national
leaders of the cause. In scarcely any
other part of the United States has the
progress been so marked, and it is now
matter Of comment that the local
ranks are fast becoming an invaluable
addition to the party. The spread of the
doctrines in Washington has also caused
apprehension among anti-socialists of
grave dangers TO the Commonwealth.
The first sustained effort toward the
organization of a Socialist sentiment in
the city was inaugurated in March,
1901, when twelve persons met ina pri-
vate house in the Southeast and united
in forming the Bellamy Society. named
after Bethany. author of Looking
Backward
The pioneers In the movement were
Prof W. c. Lee and w. " Mahoney
who planned the first meeting and is
sued the first invitation.
In May the society started a series OF
weekly lectures and joint debates in
the Capitol Hill Young Mems Christian
Association. The meetings were largely
| attended. The following November a
successful series of mass meetings in

paign the first week In September 1902.

and became afiliaeed with the District
of Columbia League of Debating So
Cieties. The society then took part in
several joint DEBATES.
The Washington local Of the Socialist
party Of America, by which the organ
lied Socialist movement In Washington
is known dates from last February,
when it was evolved from the Bellamy
Society, whose general line of propa-
ganda it follows. with the exception
that IL has entered into definite political
work, from which the Bellamy So
ciety held aloof
Though deprived of the ballot and
hedged about by many great difficulties,
the Socialists in Washington are grow
ing steadily. Many men and women of
prominence in the business and social
life Of Washington are entering the
movement
The local subscribed a special fund
for the November campaign In Mary
land and Virginia. and sent three speak
ers TO Virginia. one 10 North Carolina.
anu ANc " 4AdTylduu- money was aiSD

This summer the interest in the So

TO omit the summer vacation and keep

Some of the clergy and leading mem

from time to time proven. their interest

Regarded Venetian Cardinal as Possible
Successor and Feared His Well
Known 0pen-Handed Disposition

LONDON, Dec. 19.-The quaint method
which Leo XIII devised to exercise n
guiding influence upon the papacy after
death-to teach an unknown successor
a lesson of frugality. and then reach
out from the grave a helping hand bear
ing abundant millions-is commented on
here as characteristic. The only particu-
lar in which the plan miscarried. it is
believed. is in the 3estowal of the en-
tire 900 of currency which he left
in one day upon the new Pontiff.
Leo. Il is presumed. had contemplated
a more earnest quest for his hidden
treasure than was made and thought
the bags containing S1,S50.OOO in gold
which he had secreted among the hang
gings Of his chamber would be found
early and would tide the Vatican fiscal
authorities over until the four months
had run which he had set as the time
for delivery of his larger bequest of

throws interesting sidelights on Gotti,
Pope Plus, and the late Pope Leo, in his
estimate of both. 1t becomes evident
that Leo. while still active. had sized up
quietly the characteristics as well as
the chances of the prominent candidates
for his successor. He seems to have
considered Gotti at once as a probable
choice and the safest business manager
As 20 Pope Plus the act is significant

of the then Cardinal Sarto He was not
a candidate for the papacy, but tradi-
ton has 1t that the far-sighted Leo had
picked him months before his death as
more than a possibility for the papal
chair. Sarto, it was known TO all his
colleagues, would give away his last
dollar. Money seemed to have no value
for him save for the good it could do

Plus Too open-Handed.

Consequently. it is surmised, Leo
imagined that should his mantle fall on
Sarto and the Venetian come suddenly
from a patriarchate controlling $500 a
year into the possession of fabulous
millions, there might be no limit to the
benefactions which he would undertake.
Having no conception of n regime call
ing for the expenditure of such sums
as are needed for the ordinary main
tenance of the Vatican, Sarto would DO

without limit upon almost any sort of
appeal that came to him. The result
would have been to bankrupt the
Vatican and leave the papal household
in dire predicament.
Whether Leo's apprehensions were
warranted is aside from the question.
1t may be said. however, that if he
failed to apprehend the inherent capa-
bilities of the diplomatic and sagacious

Sarto, il was no more than is true of
all those who have been studying him

he was elected Pope. 1t is interesting,
too, that Plus Y. while knowing that
Leo's visible estate was far below what
he was reputed to have owned. had not
bothered himself over much about a

The electrician has given it out that he VIII

later than June /. Arrangements that he
has made assure him good place with an
eastern electrical company.
Reports have been current in the city hall
for several days that Schurig had been
turned down for reappointment by Mayor
Moores. Such, however, is not true. Ac-
cording TO the mayor they had some con-

the mayor told the electrician he under
stood certain parties intended to file charges
against him in case he was named again

vaguely specified, were said TO be that
Schurig had favored the local electric light
company. The mayor says he stated If the
charges were filed it would be necessary
to entertain them In the proper manner, but
did not tell the electrician that he would
not again select him for the city job,

that he regretted the city would lose the
services of such a competent man.
