ALEXANDRIA CHURCH IS
DESTROYED BY FLAMES
Loss of $4,000 on a Fine Brick
Structure Which Was Built
Only Two Years Ago.
PIPE ORGAN IS BURNED

Special to the indianapolis Journal
ALEXANDRIA, Ind, Jan. 3f.-F1ames
were discovered i'm the basement of the
First Methodist Episcopal Church of this
city, a fine brick structure, at o'clock this
morning by Janitor Mcdowell, and before
they were extinguished had practically de-
stroyed the church. except the basement
rooms. The loss will perhaps reach $4,000,
on which there is $1,000 insurance in the
Liverpool, London and Globe and the Com
mercial Union companies on the building,
with 5000 additional on the furniture, and
$1,000 additional in another company, a total
of $4,000 insurance.
The flames originated in an overheated
and defective hot-air furnace. and crept be-
tween the walls TO the large attic, and
were past control when discovered. The
waterworks were handicapped in having one
boiler cold for Sunday washing-out, and
pressure was lacking. The church was
built two years ago at a total cost of $4,000.
including the lot, leaving $4,000 in the
church which has been added TO by addi-
tion of furniture until IL represented per-
haps an investment OF $4,000.
Included i'm the ruin was a fine $500 pipe
organ. the only one in the city.

GHOST SITS DOWN TO
NATIVE BANQUET
Apparition Has Also Been Seen
Proving Along the Beach
Leisurely.

HONOLULU, Jan. 31.-A bona fide ghost
which, like unto that of Banquo, appeared
and took its seat at the feast, has, according
to a report brought by the steamer Mauna
Loa caused wholesale immigration of the
Hawaiian population of Punaluu, in Kau.
The story was told as follows by many
Hawaiians, who were positive that they
themselves saw and recognized the ghost:
n short time ago a Hawaiian, Stephen
kunuiakea by name, died at the house be-
longing to j. X. Kekaula in Punaluu He
was buried in ordinary fashion, and his
friends naturally supposed that this was the
end OF Stephen so far this mortal world
was concerned. Kunlakea, however, had a
surprise up his sleeve for them. On New
Years eve a big luau was given at j. K.
Kekaulas place A large number of Ha-
waiians from the vicinity were present. The
luau progressed in fine style and everyone
was in the best of humOr when a sudden
stop was put TO the merriment by the APP
pearance of the ghost of Kuniakea, who had
been dead and buried for a couple of
months. The ghost took its seat at the
table, but the rest of the company did not
relish its presence. Every mothers son
present fled precipitately and did not stop
before they had put a considerable distance
between themselves and the haunted house.
Everyone present at the luau Is positive of
the appearance and identity of the ghost.
The shade appeared once since then on the
beach, where he almost frightened couple
Of his former friends to death. These, how
ever, had the presence of mind to jump into
the sea, where they were picked up by a
canoe. AS ghosts cannot cross water, they
escaped their erstwhile friend.
The late Kuniakea is making considerable
trouble in his late home district. j. K.
Kekaula has moved from his house and a
large number of the Hawaiians living at
Punaluu have moved mauka.

Medicine Can't Cure

Your physician will tell you that medicine
is almost helpless in any germ disease. The
utmost ii can do Is to act as a tonic, aiding
nature to overcome the disease. Such re-
suits 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 to
other causes than germs, and medicine was

Acts Like Oxygen

Liquozone Is the result of process which,
for more than % years. has been the con-
slant subject of scientific and chemical re-
search. The process consists in generating
gases, made in large part from the best
oxygen producers. These gases are con-
fined under pressure and. by the employment
Of immense apparatus and Ia days time, are
made part of the liquid product.
The result is a product which does what
oxygen does. Oxygen. as you know. is the
vital part of air. II is the very source OF
vitality, the most essential element of life
II 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 gas, and unstable. Liquo-
zone is liquid which is not even volatile.
Ii carries its virtues into the stomach, into
the bowels and into the blood. to 90 wher-
ever the blood goes. II forms a vitalizng
tonic with which no other known product
can compare. II is life to the human body.
And germs are vegetables; and Liquozone-
like an excess Of oxygen-is deadly to veg
etable m after. For this reason, Liquozone
destroys every germ in the body. And no
man knows another way to do IL without
killing the tissues, too.

This offer is published on every bottle OF
