= Aberdeen, S. D.,.April 1S.-Edmunds
and Potter county republicans Saturday
held their county conventions, and the
delegations from each are for the organ
ization, neither selecting Crawford dele
cations, tho both were claimed for him.
Edmunds instructedafor Major McDougan

According to a prominent ttorganiza-

the state, who spent Sunday in the city,
the count of delegates now elected stands
40 for Crawford to 366 for the organiza-
ton, not counting Clay county, which had
not been heard from, but which it was
counted would give the organization from
16 to 20 out 26. Turner which is counted
Is to 20 out of 80 against Crawford, or
Campbell county, instructed for Schamber,
which will give 9gto IL against Crawford
under any circumstances.
The gentleman referred to has been in
most of the counties of the state in. a few
weeks and said: "Out of Il ,O14 delegates

held their conventions are: sure to go

Acts Like Oxygen.

Liquozone is not made by COM
pounding drugs, nor is there any al
cohol lin lit. Its virtues are derived
solely from gas-largely oxygen gas
by a process which requires immense
apparatus and IA days time. Each
cubic inch of Liquozone represents
the virtues Of 1880 cubic inches Of
the gas. The process by which these
virtues are concentrated into liquid,
stable form, has been the constant
subject of scientific and chemical re-
search for more than 20 years.
The result is a product which does
what oxygen does. Oxygen is the
nerve food, the blood food, the scav-
enger of the blood. It Is the very
source Of vitality, the most essential
element Of life. But oxygen is a gas
and unstable; while Liquozone is fixed
and concentrated. 1t gets an excess OF
oxygen virtues into the blood, to go
wherever the blood goes. The result
is vitalizing tonic with which no
other known product can compare.

insurance was carried on the building and
but $1,000 on the contents. The mill had
