We tell you this fact because it best
indicates the value of Liquozone.
Claims are easily made, but men of our
class don't pay a price like that save
for product of very great worth to
humanity.
Before making this purchase, we test
ed Liquozone for two years through
physicians and hospitals in this coun-
try and others. We tried it in all kinds
Of germ diseases, in thousands of the
most difficult cases obtainable- We saw
il cure hundreds of sick ones with whom
everything else had failed And we
saw many a patient brought back from
the verge of the grave by it
We proved, to the satisfaction of the
best physicians, that in germ troubles
Licuozone did what nothing else could
accomplish We proved it to be of
more value to sick humanity than all
the drugs in the world combined Then
we staked our fortunes and our reputa-
tons on it.
Every member of this company uses
Liouozone daily in his family ito pre-
vent sickness. and millions OF others
are learning to do likewise LiQuozone
is now employed by hospitals every
where. and by the physicians of nearly
every nation.

SEPTEMBER WEATHER.
Dr. Snow Notes an Absence of Frost
or Fog.

Lawrence, Kan, Oct 5--Dr- F. H
Snow of the University of Kansas has
completed his weather report for the
month of September. The warm
weather, with an absence of frost. has
matured the late corn and other agri-
cultural products that were planted
late on account OF wet weather The
extreme heat of the last week came at
a time when it was most needed and
the rain OF the last three days has put
the ground in excellent condition for
the wheat In his report DR.. Snow
says in part:
1.-The most conspicuous meteorolo-
gicaI feature of this month was the
high temperature of the last eight
days, which exceeded that of the same
period in each of the thirty-seven
years of our record Another interest
ing fact was the absence of frost, max
ing this the sixteenth September out
of thirty-seVen in which the earliest
white frost has been delayed until
October. The rainfall was but little
more than half the average, but this
deficiency has not been harmful. as
there is already an accumulated sur
plus of nearly nine inches above the
average since January l. The clOudI-
ness was normal and the wind velocity
was not much more than half the Sep
| TENDER average. The entire absence
of fog was noticeable"

President Davidson of the Eastern

Alton and the Wabash persisted in re-

TO insist on a differential or reduced

Central, it is stated a general democrat

Chicago-St- Louis situation the differ

into the Chicago-St- Paul situation,
which always is desperate and also
into the Chicago-Omaha situation.

Frederick Norton F'inney, who now
becomes president of the Katy, has for
a number of years been connected
with the road as manager of construc-
ton. besides being a director and
member of the executive committee.
He also holds the position of president
of the Milwaukee Trust company. He
was born in Boston and entered rail-
way service in 1854 in connection with
the engineering department His first
service was with the Cincinnati, Har-
risOn & Indianapolis Short Line. After
two years employment with that road
ne went to the Winnebago railway as
resident engineer and remained with it
for two years, when he went to the
Chicago & Northwestern in the same
capacity
In 1854 he became first assistant en-
gineer of the mountain division of the
Union Pacific. In the fall of the same
year he went to the Lake Shore and
from it he went to the Erie & Pitts
burg in 1867 and continued with that
road until 1870 when he went to the
Canada Southern as chief engineer and
general superintendent In 1875 he
accepted a similar position with the
Toledo, Peoria & Western. Three years
later he became general manager of

Another fact is that an excess of oxy-
gen destroys any disease germ The
reason is that germs are vegetables;
and an excess Of oxygen-the very life
of an animals deadly to vegetal
matter.
So with Liquozone, but the vital diff
ference is this: Oxygen is a gas, and
an excess of it cannot be maintained
in the blood Liquozone is a liquid,
concentrated, stable and powerful. It
goes wherever the blood goes; and. as
no germ can escape it. and none can
resist it. the results are inevitable.
To the human body Liquozone is the
most helpful thing in the world. But
anything vegetable instantly perishes
wherever LiQuoZone goes The fact that
germs are vegetables has enabled the
discoveries of LiQuozone to solve the
great problem of killing germs in the
body without killing the tissues, too.
And there is no other way. Any drug
that kills germs is a poison. and it can
not be taken internally. In that fact
lies the great value of Liquozone- 1t is
the only product known-the only pro-
duct man can conceive of-that can
destroy the cause of germ trouble
without harm to the living tissues

LAND OF MILK AND HONEY.
Kensington Is Having a Great Boom
in Building.

Kensington, KanS-, Oct Sine Dig
crops in northwestern Kansas this year
have given the country such a growth
in all lines of business as never was
known before. New additions are be-
ing added to towns and it is impoSS1-
BILE to find carpenters, bricklayers and
pIasterers enough to do the building
that has been planned. Kens1ngton. for
example, has two new lumber yards
that have been started in the last so
DAYS and lumber can not be shipped
in fast enough to supply the demand.
A new addition has been added to the
incorporate limits of the city of Ken
sington this fall to supply the demand
for building lots. No less active are
the farmers who are building large
barns and elegant farm houses Land
has doubled in value in the last five
years and is steadily increasing and
many farmers will not put a price on
their farms. Corn will yield as high
as sixty bushels per acre and will make
the highest average ever known in
Smith county and this county is noted
as corn county. Alfalfa, corn and
wheat are extensively raised and are
great money-makers for the farmers.
There are large numbers of hogs and
cattle in the country 4-hich will yield
a profit to the farmer because of the
abundance of alfalfa and corn.
Smith county is the land of milk
and honey and no more prosperous
and contented people inhabit any state
or country.

Not Medicine.

This product has. for more than 20
years. been the constant subject of
scientific and chemical research The
soject to its discoveries was to get
the virtues of oxygen in stable form

oxygen alone can kill disease germs
without harm to the living tissues

never cures. In all of them, the results
from drugs are doubtful and slow.
Medicine is not proper treatment for
any form of germ attack.
Liquozone goes directly to the cause
of these troubles It attacks the germs,

must end when the germs are killed;
nothing is more certain than that Then
Liquozone, acting as tonic, quickly
repairs the damage done, and restores a

diseases which medicine never cures In

the results are so certain that we will
gladly send to any patient who asks it
