Acts Like Oxygen.

Liquozone Is not made by compound ing drugs. nor is there any alcohol in 1t. It's virtues are derived solely from gas-largely oxygen gas-by a process requiring immense apparatus and 14 days time. This process has, for more than 20 years. been the constant sub ject Of scientific and chemical research.
 The result is a liquid that does what oxygen does. It is a nerve food and blood food-the most helpful thing in the world to you. Its effects are ex- hilarating, vitalizing, purifying. The reason is that germs are vegetables; and Liquozone-llke an excess of oxy- gen--is deadly to vegetal matter.
 Liquozone goes into the stomach, into the bowels and into the blood, to

Chicago Tribune.
 In l6,ooo Chicago residences some day this week papa and mamma and little willie and all the other persons who gather around the family table every time the dinner bell rings will be told that new cook. who knows all about proteids and fats. has been installed in the kitchen. Then a menu something like this will be served: E
 Vegetable soup.
 Beefsteak or roast beef au jus.
 Mashed or baked potatoes. ,tt
 Lima beans. stewed tomatoes.
 Hot rolls. Cookies.
 Pie. Coffse
 Danghters Are the New Cooks.
 And after the coffee has been served and every one has said how good every thing was, mamma will run out into the kitchen and bring in her new cook ana introduce her. The family will be surprised to find that the new culinary expert is none other than little Mary. who has been taking cooking lessons at the public school.
 It Is intended this week to give the school cooking a practical test in the houses of the 15.00o pupils enrolled in the domestic science classes. Every child will be asked to gain permission to prepare at least one meal at home for the purpose of demonstrating to skeptfcal parents that the public schools are teaching practical cooking. The enroIlment in the cooking and sewing classes and in all classes or Eanized in the household arts and do- mestic science departments has increas- ed each day since the schools were opened on September 6. At the close of the school year last May 13,387 boys were enrolled in the manual training shops, 6,54s girls in the cooking classes. and TORS in the sewing classes. May was a record breaking month of last year. Already this year the record has been broken and the daily attend ance a& the cooking and sewing schools averages nearly 16,oAp.
 Spread Good Housekeeping Gospel.
 The girls are being urged to carry into their homes the lessons they are learning in school and in this way spread in the poorer and more con gested districts the gospel of good housekeeping, of wholesome food and cooking, and of sanitary arrangements for culinary work Hundreds of the school girls have already put into prac- tfca at home the lessons in domestic economy learned in the schoolroom.
 One girls experience tells the story of the, experiences of many others, This girl who attends the Washington school, asked her fathers and mothers permission to run the household es- tablishment for one month.

The Care of Plants fin Winter.

 Give plants all the fresh air you can. Open doors and windows at some dist ance from them on pleasant days and give them a chance to breathe in pure oxygen in liberal quantity.

Miss Clyde to Mothers.

There's a great deal more in that than one may suppose. If mothers re- alized that holding girl back makes her reign last longer there would be less precocity and fewer old women blase with the world at IS. If any thing were to be gained by forcing a girl to develop early I shouldn't say a thing. But there isn't. The best years for a girl to marry, 1t has been proved, are between 22 and 27. 4 girl then knows what she wants, and, what is even more important, she knows how to get 1t. In nine cases out of ten the man a girl chooses at IS she wouldn't consider seriously at 27.

the cactus are obvious, but did you ever consider for your own satisfaction. perhaps, another point of similarity?
 Did you ever notice how much more quickly some plants seem to shoot up and come to maturity than others how when they have barely stem and a couple of leaves they blossom and then in nine cases out of ten never amount to anything again? On the other hand, some other plant you voted slow because 1t did nothing but wax tall and fat and round and put out leaves eternally-why, that plant sud- denly bore not one. but dozens of beau tiful blossoms and remained the stur- diest plant in the lot.

 Then there's her chum who enjoyed her dolls at IS, was voted slow by the advanced set in school when she was 16 and played basket ball uncorseted when she was IS. At 20 or there abouts she has her first sentimental af- fair.

Terrible TussIe Terminated by Shades

| 1t is not often that the spectators at
a ball game will miss their suppcrs to
witness the finish of IL drawn out
struggle. but such was the case at the
Driving park, last evening. when the
game between the Post Office Clerks
and the Bank Clerks was terminated at

was nearly I o'clock.
But the game was worth it. AS was

men not in training, but they were
happily disappointed. The game had

Waterville, by score of Q to s. john
son was i'm the box for the Corners, and
Hega-ty for the visitors. Johnson had
the better of it all the way through.
At the opening of the sixth inning the
score was to 0. in favor OF the home
team. but the visitors got in some stick
work in the sixth, eighth and ninth in
ming. together with the often errors on
the fielding Of the Corners, and tied
the score in the ninth inning. Hanks
opened the last half of the ninth. with
a single and stole second. Perham went
out, Finlyson to Willy. Hanks went
to third. Harvey hit to Finlyson. who
let it go through him and Hanks
brought in the required run. thus the
matinee ended with the score, 9 to s, in
favor of the Corners.

not made their presence particularly

manner nest had become detached
from the inside Of the western chimney

boys. But the Bank Clerks forged
ahead with runs by Thomas and w.
Johnson in the last half. The feature
of the inning was the double play by
Stamm and Fleming.
The fifth witnessed the three ba gger
by Dodge, which sent Poor across the
plate when two were out. There was
nothing doing in the Bank Clerks half.
one of the reasons why was the phe-
nOmenal stop of red hot line drive by
Grady. He threw it 4 bit high, and
Kerry saved the day by making one

The game WAS unique in many par

ture was the diversity of talent gather
ed together. The post office boys were
all more or less interested in playing
the game but a few short years ago.
In the ranks of the Bank Clerks were
