 How much does Porto Rico produce3" I asked
 "We annually raise about forty million pounds. We have 1660000 acres under cultivation and there are large areas which might be planted. The coffee lands are back from the sea on the slopes of the mountains. They are to be found in nearly all parts of the island, although some districts produce finer coffee than others. As for me I drink only Porto Ri- can coffee except where the social de- mands are such that I have to do other wise. Our coffee has a flavor which is beyond compare"
 Cheap Lands in Porto Rico.
 What are coffee lands worth.'
 That depends on the location and the soil" replied MT. Degeatu. If the lands are accessible to the ports and in good coffee districts, they will bring much more than where 1t is hard to get the coffee out Tho coffee business has been so bad that you can buy some lands for $12 an acre, and very good lands for little more than that think good speculation could be made in such lands and in other lands on thu island. Indeed, I bought a piece my self the other day for one-tcnth what it's value was just after the war. This was not strictly farming land. however It was a tract of twenty-four acres adjoir- ing the own of Aibonito. It is high up in the mountains not far from Ponce, in one of the most healthful regions of the wolrd. It cost me- not counting the buildings, about $40 per acre.

 The conversation next turned to the fruit industry, and Mir. Degetau ventured the prophecy that Porto Rico would some day be the chief orange grove and pine apple plantation of the United States He says the fruit lands are being taken up. and that many Americans have gone there to raise oranges. He cited one in- stance of a man who was offered a 1oh at s5,000 year fin the United States The man had recently lived in Florida and had just begun to raise oranges in Porto Rico.

In addi- ton to these sugar lands there are some devoted to pasturage which might be used for sugar. Altogether we have about 2000 plantations"

What Liquozone IC.

Liuuozone is the result of a process which, for more than 20 years. has been the constant subject of scientific and chemical research. Its virtues are derived solely from gas-largely Sxy- gen gas-by a process requiring i'm mense aparatus and IA days time. Each cubic inch of Liquozone repre- sents the virtues of 1,25O cubic inches of the gas.
 The result Is a product which does what oxygen does. Oxygen is the nerve food. the blood food, the scav- enKer of the blood. It is the very source of vitality. the most essential element of life. But oxygen Is gas and unstable; while Liquozone is fixed and concentrated. It gets an excess of oxygen virtues into the blood, to go wherever the blood goes. The re- suit Is a vItalizing tonic with which no other known product can compare.
