COMES WITHOUT a WARNING.
Calculations of Meteorological Experts
Are Upset by the Storm.

storm No. 1 went over into Utah
and Nevada" said Professor McAdie
last night, "but storm No. came in
Unexpectedly from the ocean and dis
appointed us in our expectations Of
fair weather for to-day" That is the
reason why it rained again yesterday
after the skies had cleared Friday
night. 1t was thus, too. that Central
and Northern California escaped
cold snap.
Utah and Northern Arizona expert
enced the coolest weather of many
years yesterday. At some points in
that section of the country the mer-
curry fell to degrees below zero. Nc
Adie states that perishable products
shipped East Thursday and Friday are
likely to spoil in transit as a result of
the low temperature.
The rain was general throughout
Central and Northern California dur
ing the day and last night the storm
appeared to be making its way south.
The farmers and stock raisers will be
glad TO see the continuation of wet
weather. Showers generally is the pre-
diction for the whole of California to-
day and snow and cold weather for
Utah, Nevada and Arizona.

REICNS
IN CHINATOWN
TongS Lay Away Guns and Axes
Until After Their New Year
Holidays Come to Close

Peace reigns in Chinatown again and
this condition will prevail until Chinese
New Year is at an end. An agreement
was reached by the warning tongs last
night by which hostilities will be sus-
pended during the season of good will
and axes and guns were Immediately
piled OF the shelves. Members Of the
factions that have been in hiding since
the night Of the first tragedies walked
forth once more, secure in the edict Of
amity. and the district resumed it's old
stir and action.
The recent war commenced between
the WI Ting Tong and the Sen Sue
Ying Tong on one side and the Hop
Sing Tong on the other. Its beginning
was marked with unusual viciousness
and the entire Chinese quarter was
struck with terror. During its progress
several crimes have been committed,
from which deaths have resulted, and
all effort to restore friendliness be-
tween the factions came to naught.
Meetings. have been held nightly, but
the representatives Of each tong re-
mained firm in a determination to bat
tie until one side or the other acknowl-
edged defeat.
Yesterday the mercantile bodies Of
Chinatown called the tong men to-
gether and appealed to them to come
TO some agreement by which their
weapons could be laid aside until after
the New Year festivities which begin
next week, are at an end. The mer-
chants spoke of the injury to trade and
of the hesitation that has been mani
tested by the Chinese in preparing for
festivities while matters remained as
they were. Time for consideration was
asked and last night the desired an
swer was given to the arbiters.

THE GROWING TRADE
OF THE PHILIPPINES
For Eight Months of the Last Year
the Increase i'm Commerce

the Increase i'm Commerce
Was $6,OOO,OOO.
The import and export trade Of the
Philippine Islands for eight months
ended August, 1908, according to figures
appearing in the monthly bulletin OF
the insular bureau OF the War Depart
ment, amounted to S4S,1SS,SO4. the cor
responding period Of 1902 showing but
$37, ,2O2, ,796, or an increase during the
present year of nearly six million dol
lars, over four-fifths Of which may be
credited to shipments from the archi-
pelago, the hemp and copra output be-
ing especially large. These figures are
exclusive of coin and Government sup
plies, and in eight months Of 1908 show
imports S22, ,266. .5s1 and exports valued
at s2O,s67, ,313.
The purchase Of rice in large guam
titles continues, importatiOns for the
month Of August being greater than
the value entered under all other
classes of supplies combined, and with
the exception of the French Indies,
which furnishes the islands with nearly
all Of the foreign product used. a gen.
eraI falling off is noted among the
principal importing countries, as COM
pared with the record FOR the previous
year. BY the increase Of approximate

of rice receipts during eight months of
1902 the purchase Of meat and meat
products, fish, vegetables and other
food stuffs, as we'll as the import trade

needed throughout the archipelago for
farming purposes
Exports of hemp show an advance Of
approximately three million dollars
over the figures of last year. in eight
months Of 1903 reaching a value Of S13.-

cine has been employed for these
troubles, but germs were unknown
then. More than half these diseases
have been traced to germs within the
past FIVE years. The germ cause of
Rheumatism. for instance, was not
discovered until August, 1902.
Medicine is not for germ troubles
You must either rely on Nature to
overcome the germs, or you must kill
them with Liquozone. You can never
kill them with drugs.
These diseases yield at once to
Liquozone. We have seen thousands
of these troubles ended in a week.

will cure it.

PietrO BuSalacchi'S Criticism

there is nursing a cash on the right
arm. Pietro Busalacchi, residing at
5S2 Chestnut street, who welded the
weapon, has been booked on a charge
of an assault with a deadly weapon
and released on $50 cash bail.
All of the parties to the affair are
Italian fishermen and incidentally
cousins. Yesterday morning, in COM
pany with two other relatives, they set
sail in their smack for the fishing
grounds. Nothing noteworthy occurred
until the noon hour, when in the vicin-
ity Of San Quentin it was decided to
partake of a light lunch. Busalacchi
either from a disordered stomach or
loss of appetite did not relish the food,
which had been prepared by Frank
Balestiere, and voiced his displeasure.

food was too rich for Busalacchi, who
he maintained was only acquainted
with plebean cooking. One word led to
another until Balestiere determined to
end the argument in an abrupt manner.
Selling a hatchet Frank Balestiere
advanced toward Busalacchi. That
gentleman was averse to being used as
chopping block and struck his angry
cousin on the head with a club This
ended the dispute for the time being.
While Busalacchi was busily mending
his net Frank Balestiere determined to
be revenged and accordingly laid his
plans. He again seized his trusty
hatchet and endeavOred to execute a
flank movement. Busafacchi was not
to be caught mapping, however, and de-

Beware the "ChrysumphaIus Minor"

Beware the "ChrysumphaluS Minor"
The French Minister of Agriculture
has received from the Riviera a report
which shows that the orange growers
are threatened with the worst of ca
lamities. A microscopic insect, scien-
tifically known as chrysumphalus
minor, is the cause of an orange dis
ease as potentially destructive as the
potato disease, which spread famine
and devastation over Ireland fifty
seven years ago. NJ. Belle, an expert
in Nice, has been investigating the
origin and propagation of this malady
among the oranges. The Council of
the department Of Nice has taken the
matter in hand. Orange growers are
combining for the. extirpation of
chrysumphalus minor. 1t is said that
the insect was imported from Amer
lea some years ago and that the first
signs of its depredations were detected
in Florence.-New York Commercial
Advertiser.

Acts Like Oxygen

Iiauozone is the result of a process
which for more than 20 years has
been the constant subject OF scientific
and chemical research. The process
consists in generating gases, made IN
large part from the best oxygen pro-
ducers. These gases are confined un-
der pressure and by the employment
of immense apparatus and ID days
time, are made part of the liquid prod
uct
The result is a product which does
what oxygen does. Oxygen, as you
know. is the vital part of air. 1t is
the very source of vitality, the most
essential element of life. 1t is oxygen
that turns the blue blood to red in the
lungs. 1t is oxygen that eliminates
the waste tissue and builds up the new
And no germ of disease can live IN
the presence of an excess of oxygen.
But oxygen is a gas, and unstable.
Liouozone is liquid which is not
even volatile. 1t carries its virtues
into the stomach, into the bowels and
into the blood, to go wherever the
blood goes. 1t forms vitalizing
tonic with which no other known
product can compare. 1t is life to
the human body. But germs are veg
etables; and Liquozone-like an ex-
cess of oxygen-is deadly to vegetable
matter. For this reason, Liquozone
destroys every germ in the body. And
no man knows another way to do it
without killing the tissues, too.

Medicine Can't Cure /.

Your physician will tell you that
medicine is almost helpless in any
germ disease. The utmost it can do
is to act as tonic, aiding nature to
overcome the germs. Such results
are indirect and uncertain, depending
on the patients condition. A cure is
always doubtful and often impossible.
And the cures that do result are due
to Nature, not to medicine. A cure
can't come until those germs are
killed, and medicine never kills inside
germs.
These diseases were long attributed

cine was used to doctor them. Up to

tain diseases are due entirely to germs
and medicine in no way applies to
them. Any drug that kills germs is
poison, and it cannot be given inter
