THE ,nsloIous oaAToRlcAL COCKTAIL

Another man whom fate endeavored
to conceal under the patronymic OF
Smith has pipped the shell of circum-
stance and made his Christian appella-
ton of William Alden stand for a
bright, particular star amid the milky
way of Smiths. Mr.. Smith became ia :
nous, or notorious-it is impossible to
define the precise point where noto-
liety leaves off and fame begins-the
other day when his suggestion OF
Speaker Joe Cannon as a presidential
possibility was received by the house
OF representatives with an outburst of
applause and approval The affair
was so entirely out of the ordinary
that it evoked the astonished wonder
nlent of the country and people began
to ask themselves and each other the
cause and consequence of so peculiar
faux pas on the part of Mr.. Smith
and his auditors.
The incident-it was only an incident
appears to have physical rather
than political significance. 1t was
merely manifestation of hysteria,
infrequent but not altogether unknown
In the lower house. Mr.. Smith had
been making an extraordinarily elo-
uuent speech and the house had been
raying him the compliment of intense
attention. Instead of arms and the
hero he sung congressman and con-
ventions, the lower house and partisan
victory. ,rhe listening representatives,
emarting under the nettled report of
Mr.. Bristow inclined a pleased, re-
ccptive ear to Mr.. Smith as he recited
the roster of its greatness. Mr.. Smith
himself felt the stimulus of an approx
ing audience. The current of his elo-
quence set toward the rostrum. There

tony shook Caesars mantle over the
Roman populace. And his auditors,
like sAntony's began to roar and break
up the benches. 1t was simply the In
toxication of oratory. the one draught
too much which as most congressman
and many private citizens know causes
al the trouble The house was drunk
on William Alden's eloquence. 1t was
tnst-a~ drop too much OF the insidious
cratorical cocktail.
Excess is a forerunner OF explana-
ton. The house and the orator find
themselves In the role of the sultan of
Sulu upon the cold, gray dawn of the
morning after the cocktail episode.
There is general and genuine ren1orse
for an Enmitigated blunder Mr.. Cam

practically unit for Mr.. Roosevelts
return. The most logical explanation
OF the incident is to attribute it to Mr.
William Alden Smiths ability as
barkeeper at the buffet of enthusiasm
and let it go at that. Neither he nor
the house will do it again. They have
sworn off.

Kills Inside Germs

The greatest value Of Liquozone
lies in the fact that it kills germs In
the body without killing the tissues
too. And no man knows another way
to do it. Any drug that kills germs is
a poison, and it cannot be taken IN
ternally. Medicine is almost helpless
in any germ disease, as every physi-
clan knows.
Liquozone will do for sick humanity
more than all the drugs in the world
combined. 1t does what no skill can
accomplish without it. 1t cures dis
eases which medicine never cured.

The result is a product that does
what oxygen does. Oxygen gas, as
you know, is the very source Of vital
ity, the most essential element of life.
Liquozone is a vitalizing tonic with
which no other known product can
compare. Yet it is a germicide SO GER
tain that we publish on every bottle
an offer OF $1,000 for disease germ
that it cannot kill.
The reason is that germs are vege-
tables; and Liquozone, which-lke
oxygen-is life to an animal, is deadly
to vegetal matter. 1t is carried by
the blood to every cell OF every tissue.
and no touch Of impurity, no germ OF
disease, can exist where Liquozone

Germ Diseases

These are the known germ diseases.
All that medicine can do fc1 these
troubles is to help Natu-c overcome
the germs, and such results are indi-
rect and uncertain. Liquozone kills
the germs, wherever they are, and the
results are inevitable. By destroying
the cause Of the trouble, it invariably
ends the disease, and forever.

ers OF that excellent newspaper. The
Journal truly says that the republic
cans of the big Eleventh district
ought not to stand by the wayside
waiting for the crook of a finger in the
shadow of a distant part of the state.
Some think that the mind of the edi-

think that he was driving at those

city on the q" The big Eleventh has
q record for Independence that has not
always been pleasing to the editor of
