Germ Diseases

Below we list the diseases now
known to be due to germs or their
toxins. Every physician knows that
medicine does not apply to them. be-
cause medicine can not kill inside
germs.
Drugs may relieve for a time; or
medicine may act as tonic, aiding
Nature to overcome the germs. But
such results are indirect and uncer-
tain, depending on the patients con-
dition. A cure is always doubtful
and often impossible.
Liquozone directly destroys the
germ cause Of these troubles. No
germ can escape it and none can re-
sist 1t; the results are inevitable. We
have seen diseases which had resisted
medicine for years cured In a week
with Liquozone And 1t cures diseases
which medicine never cures. In any
stage of disease In this list the re-
suits are so quick and certain that we
gladly send to every inquirer an abso-
lutte guaranty.

The Man Who Never Kicked.
From Leslie's Weekly.

Come, hear the story, children, of the
man who never kicked.
Who drifted round the earth while a
hapless derelict,
Until the angels took him to his hap
Ply home on high
He'll have no cause for kicking in the
blessed by-and-by:
For quite a while this easy mark had
stopped at one hotel,
Till every employe had come to know
him very WE'LL
They fed him on cold victuals and his
room was never clean
They all imposed upon him just be-
cause he wasn't mean.
He stood, without a murmur, these in
dignities a while,
Then asked his little reckoning, and
paid it, with a smile.
He gently warned his many friends,
who thenceforth Stunned the
place
The ruined landlord never grasped the
status of the case.
His wife, a winsome woman, caught
the eyes of all the men.
Who ogled at her freely, never caring
where or when;
They knew how very placid was her
husband, ana tney knew
He'd never, never make a scene, no
matter what they'd do.
one day their breaths were taken in
way you'd least expect
He'd filed a little paper that was le-
gally correct.
Then, ere they'd finished gasping Ger
this wonder. he became
The highly proper husband of another
winsome dame.
The daily press had slammed him in a
way that was a sight:
Why not. when he was easy and would
never make a fight?
Encouraged by his silence, they pro-
crossed from bad TO worse
Until the merest mention of his name
was With a curse.
The walls Of their wrath were checked
one morning when they learned
To their chagrin and terror that the
mangled worm had turned.
He'd bought rival paper and had cut
the price a lot.
And otherwise prepared himself to
make the battle hot.
In time this patient person grew I'M
considerably i'll.
He calmly fixed himself to die, and
paid his doctor bill.
He didn't even murmur when the law
yers stuck him hard
For shaping UP the business Of his
farm and lumber yard.
Zen when the undertaken did his old
emhalmng trick
With some inferior fluid he was game
he didn't kick.
The angels saw him coming. and each
trumpet blew a blast
Which meant: The anti-kicker's soul
is homeward bound at last"
That, children, is the story of the man
who never kicked.
Who drifted round the world a while
a hapless derelict,
II you would get a welcome such as his
beyond the sky,
You'd best postpone your kicking TIL
the blessed by-and-by.

A 12,ooO,OOo BALE CROP PREDICT

According to a Meridian. Miss, dis
patch, the cotton planters Of that state,
Louisiana, Texas and Alabama are
expecting a record breaking cotton
crop this year. They are counting on
crop of 100000 bales, if they can
get the labor to pick the cotton.
They are greatly disturbed by the
labor problem. They have sent to the
lumber districts where the mills are
idle, only to be told no labor is to be
had there because the millmen expect
to begin operating their mills soon.
They have sent to the mining camps
of Colorado where there are thousands
of miners out of jobs, and have en-
gagged 1000 to come to Mississippi with
their wives and children, agreeing to
pay their transportation expenses. If
these miners can work in the cotton
fields they will, in all probability, be-
come permanent citizens of the locali-
ties in which they first make their
homes.
The planters have also asked the
Department of Labor and Commerce
to assist them in getting a share of
the immigrants coming to the country.
and have received a favorable answer.
The department stated that within the
next six months as many as 100000
italian immigrants would arrive, and
that at least 10000 of them would enter
Southern ports.
1t looks therefore as if something
were being done to get a supply of la
Dor. No doubt the planters will find
some way to get the cotton picked 1t is
apparent now that the acreage is
much larger than it was generally be-
lieved to be earlier in the season. If
the season remains good, and frost
doesn't come until late, the probabili-
ty is that the crop will reach $4,000. 900
bales.
1t wouldn't be surprising if the pres
ent cotton crop added many thousands
of people to the population of the South.
White people can pick cotton in most
parts of the South as well as negroes
that is, they can stand the work. About
three-fourths of the crop is now made
by white labor. In many parts of the
cotton section of Texas black labor is
almost unknown. In this state a large
part of the crop is the product of
white labor, from the preparing of the
ground to the marketing of the cot
ton. The Italians that settled on cot
ton plantations in Louisiana last year
made more satisfactory cotton field
hands than negroes if accounts Of
them are to be relied upon. 1t is not
improbable, therefore, that there will
be a large movement of Italians to
the Southern States during the next
few wears

Loses His Fee.

THE most unusual. and certainly the
most exciting, wedding at which
ever Officiated-or intended to officiate
failed to occur" said a chaplain in
the United States navy, according to
the New York Herald. THE ship to
which I was attached at the time was
then off Malacaibo. In that fever in
tested town was a wealthy Venezue-
Ian with a beautiful daughter. The
girl was in love with a handsome Span
lard, who, judging from what l was
told Of him, was about as dissipated
a rake as the land of manana ever
produced.
The father was unalterably opposed
to this romance, and wanted his daugh-
ter TO wed a young American who was
attached to the office of the American
consul. The American was willing TO
marry the girl. Perhaps it was as
much owing to the old Venezuelan's
dollars as anything else. He had been
promised partnership in the biggest
business in mild coffee that there was
in Venezuela. But the girl was equal
ly firm. She would have her Spanird
or no one.
Il. knew something of the case.
Certainly l had listened to all its
of the girl. The old man asked me
if I would marry his daughter to the
American and l consented. The girl
Historically informed me that 1 never
should.
We'll, the night of the wedding az
rived. The guests were gathering.
and it was about time for the cere-
mony. Houses in Maracaibo are open
about as they are in Japan. There
came a tap on the open easement and
low cali to the girl. 1 saw her start
to the window and beyond her l caught
glimpse of the sinister face of the
Spanfdrd. The girls father followed
her and tried to draw her away. There
was struggle and then three shots
rang out The father fell first. Then
the girl sank to the floor shot through
the heart. The murderer then killed
himself So we had funerals instead
of weddings"

THE wonk OF Tnr LEcIsI,ATTnE,

Some of the members of the House
object to the comments of the news
papers on the fact that the Legsla-
ture, although it has made a record
for talking, has accomplished very lit
tie in the direction of legislation Of
benefit TO the people. No doubt both
Houses have been sincere in their eff
forts to accomplish something. but it
must be evident to Senators and Rep
resentatives, from their experience
during the present session, that if the
Legislature were in session all the
time there would always be bills enough
to occupy its time. There is always
some member that wants a new law,
or an existing law amended, and nine
times out of ten the people would be
better off and better satisfied without
the proposed new legislation It is
only once in a while that a real neces-
sity arises for a new general law.
This, most of the states have found
out, and consequently they have adopt
ed the biennial or quadrennial session
system. There are only three or four
states which still cling to the annual
session system, and Georgia is one of
them. Somehow or other. the Georgia
Legislature cannot bring itself to sub
NIT the question of biennial sessions
to the people. Its members want to go
to Atlanta every year and talk for
fifty days. This Legislature will have
been in session $50 days when the
present session closes, and what
has it done that is calculated
to greatly benefit the people that it
couldn't have done in one session
of fifty days?
1t is true that at the present session
it has passed a Australian ballot bill,
or will past 1t doubtless before it ad-
journs, but it isn't a bill that is at
all satisfactory in its present shape.
The chances are that the very coun-
ties that ought TO have it will not
adopt it. To make it really valuable
il ought to be the law in every coun-
ty. instead of being a local option
measure.
But that bill is foreign to the sub
ACCESSIBILITY Of limiting the sessions of
the Legislature to one session every
two years. BY means of biennial SEES
sions a large amount of money could
be saved to the people and all the
legislation needed by the best inter
ests of the state could be had. Is there
no member of the Legislature who be-
lieves that biennial sessions would be
good thing in this state? If so, let
him introduce a bill submitting the
biennial session question to the people
at the next general election. Let the
people have their say about the mat
ter. We are sure they are getting
tired Of paying the expenses of an
nual sessions, particularly as they
don't see that they are getting the
worth of their money.

One-fourth of Chicago's police force
is now on duty, for the purpose of
maintaining peace and protecting prop
erty, at places where the employees are
out on strike and are trying to pre-
vent other workers from taking their
places. Chicago is normally a strike
ridden town. Industrial peace in Chi
cago might well be taken as an indi-
cation of the immediate beginning of
the millennium. Probably not i'm
twenty years has the city been without
strike or lockout, and the average
condition is dozens of strikes at a
time. But not since the Debs strike
has there been a time when so many
policemen were required on strictly
strike duty.

the hotel proprietor, according to the
New York Press. I've just had an ar
gument with my friend On the matter
of terms. and I want you to decide"
Fire away" said the proprietor.
We'll, l told my friend l was com
ing down here to the office to pay my
bill. My bill. you understand? Was
that right?' sa
"Of course. What did he contend ?"
"He said I should have said your
bill. How about it?"
well, yes. 1t certainly is my bill.
That seems to be correct"
But you said just now my bill was
right"
"Oh. we'll: it's both. It's your bill
and it's my bill"
THAT sorter makes it our bill, doesn't
it?'
Yes" assented the proprietor, anx-
ious to get rid of the man. That's
what it is-our BILL"
well, that decision suits me to a

and I'll pay you right away. There s

QUAKERS GETTING THEIR EYES
OPEN.

Until within the last few years there
was a strong sentiment In Philadel-
phia that the South didn't treat the
negro justly-that it imposed upon him
in many ways, and didn't allow him
his rights or a fair showing The
good Quaker people We're certain that
the negro was much better citizen
than he was represented as being. IN
deed. the Quakers were earnest de-
tenders of the negro, and were sure
that the Southern people were TO blame
for most of the offenses with which
he was charged.
The Quaker view of the negro is
undergoing a change. The Philadel-
phia newspapers are telling about ne
gro criminals in that city. They know
something about the subject because
ir Philadelphia there are more negroes
than in any city in the country, ex-
cept Washington. That doubtless is
because of the sympathy that has been
expressed for them there.
The Philadelphia North American
says there are twice as many offenders
against the law waiting for trial dur
ing the August term of the courts as
were tried during the June term, and
that four-fifths of those awaiting trial
or are under Indictment ror minor Of
lenses are negroes. In the June term
there were 222 cases tried. OF this
number forty-seven We're negroes
charged with aggravated assault and
robbery. OF the remainder by far tho
larger part were negroes.
The negro population of Philadelphia
is between 10000 and $4,000. The total
population OF the city is about 1.400,-
600. 1t can be readily seen, therefore
that about one-twentieth of the city's
population furnishes more than two
thirds of the cases tried in the Grim
inal courts. In 1908 there were 81.
ia arrests made in Philadelphia foI
all kinds of offenses. OF that num-
Der Ga per cent. We're negroes.
In the course of time probably the
people of the North will understand
that the South is doing much better
by the negro than they would do un-
der similar circumstances. They are
getting the facts of the situation into
their minds slowly, and perhaps by
the time that Congress gets ready tC
| seriously consider the Crumpacker bill

of it that they will utter an emphatic
protest against that bill
