Present Information Against the Trust.

All tobacco growers or dealers who
have had negotiations with the trust
r now presented with an oppor-
tunity of furnishing evidence to the
Government through the District At
torney of Tennessee. Rep Gains of
that State, who has been a leader in
the great antitrust tobacco fight, is
endeavoring to collect all testimony
possible, and has issued a circular
giving questions that it is desired
growers should answer. Replies may
be sent to either Hon. j. wv. Gaines,
Nashville, Tenn, or Felix G. Ewing,
Glenraven, Robertson County, Tenn.
The questions that are desired to
cover ire: Name the companies or
agents who we're the principal buyers
of tobacco in your vicinity prior to
1902. 2. Name the companies, ETC.,
now securing the same tobacco. 3.
When did competition cease? 4. Are
competitive buyers visiting your dis
trict now as they did before 1902
5. Has the change affected prices, and
how? 6. For. what market is your
tobacco bought? Z. State fully all
facts within your knowledge, tending
to show that an agreement exists be-
tween buyers. Give names, dates,
prices, details of sales, etc., that will
be of direct value in proving the ex-
istence Of a trust or combine among
tobacco dealers.-Exchange.

Increase in Church Membership.

In 1900 only Z per cent of the total
population of the United States were
church members, whereas to-day the
ratio is SO per cent, the members in
creasing from $4,000 to 29,0OO,O 900.
Not only has there been this great
gain in numbers, but there has also
been a great increase in activity, as
indicated by the rise of foreign mis-
sions, the modern Sunday-school,
young peoples societies, brother
hoods, young mems Christian asso-
Citations and kindred movements.
Investigation shows, however, that
the large majority of young men, or
9,O59,OOO out of 14,25O,OOO, are out
side of church membership. Even
after allowing a large margin for
those who are not members, but at
tend religious services at least occa-
sionally, it is safe to say that fully
one-half are wholly outside of church
fellowship or direct influence.
It may be a comfort to know that
this is no new problem. Professor
Wilcox in his book, "The Pastor and
His Flock" describes conditions a
century ago as follows: "There were
no young Christians in any consider
able numbers. When a young man

Home waterworks.

and villages promises to revolution
ize that class of homes, as much as
did the wire fence telephones, as it
gives to the farmers all the water
privileges enjoyed by their city
cousins. With a small outlay from
$40 to $40, everyone in the coun-
try may have water under pressure.
i. e., for the bathroom, closet, kitch-
en-, sink, stock water, lawn sprink-
ling, and last, but not least, for fire
protection. The principle involved
in this new luxury is as old as the
pen-stock of 1910, by which our
g~randfathers conveyed water from
the spring on the hillside to the wa
tering trough at the house through
hollow logs. The wind mill or gaso-
line engine now takes the place of
the hillside spring; iron pipes dis
place the wooden logs, and the faucet
holds the water in reserve until it is
needed.
Science has, however, added a new
feature, viz, the air-tight, under
ground, iron tank, either new or sec
ond hand. Into this from the under
side, the water is forced by the wind
mill until the air is compressed into
one-half it's normal volume. This
furnishes a pressure of from IS to so
pounds per square inch, equal to the
normal pressure of the Holly or
elevated tank. Again, from the un-
der side of this iron boiler, the water
is taken in iron pipes underground,
below frost, to the barn, kitchen,
truck patch or through the fire hose
to the top of the house. Any plumber.
who can cut a thread, or wipe a joint.
is capable of fitting up a practical
plant of this kind. Indeed, if the
plumbers are awake to their oppor-
tunities, they will find an unlimited
amount of this kind of work, as every
man who owns a windmill must soon
see the advantage of this plan over
hat of the open trough or elevated
tank.
The material and labor needed to
carry the water a hundred feet from
the windmill into the house, should
not cost over 800. 1t consists of a
one-inch galvanized pipe, a plain. or.
binary "cut-of" and iron boiler of
any size, the dimensions of which
must depend upon the size of the
pocket-book. A small one will act
as perfectly as a large one will, the
only advantage the latter has over
the former is that

Firet Bottle Free.

Our method of convincing you that Liquozone will cure is to buy the first bottle for you. We ask you to try 1t at our expense. The product itself Is the best evidence we have.
 If you need Liquozone, and have never used 1t. please send Us the coupon below. We will then mall you an order on your druggist for a 50c bottle and will pay your druggist ourselves for 1t. This applies only to the first bottle. of course; to those who have never used it.
 This offer itself should convince you that Liquozone does as we claim. We would certainly not buy a bottle and give 1t away if there was any doubt of results. If you want those results-if you want to be well-accept the chance which we offer to test Liquozone free. Don't use medi- cine for what medicine cannot do.
 We shall not ask you to buy Liquozone mot urge you to continue it. Do as you think bess for yourself when you learn what the product does. But be fair enough with yourself to try 1t when we pay the cost of your test. Before our of- fer ends, see what this new product means 10 you.
 Liquozone costs Soc and q.

 Then we spent $5OO.OOO to give a million bottles away-to let a million sick ones try 1t. We thus staked a total of $500 coo right at the start on our absolute faith in this product Can anyone suppose that we made such an investment without knowing that Liquozone would do what we claimed for 1t?
 We publish no testimonials, no evidence of cures; no letters from physicians or patients, though we have more such let ters than any other concern in the world We simply buy bottle of Liquozone for each sick one we learn of. and ask him to see for himself what 1t does Don you know that a product mist have re- markable inertia virtue which brings in- stant benefit to alto stand such test as that?

Act.C Like Oxygen.

But Liquozone is more than a germi- eide. l. is also a tonic, with which no other product can compare. It Is just such tonic as an excess of oxygen gas would be, If it could be held in the blood
 Oxygen is the vital part of air; the very source of vitality, the most essential element of life. It Is oxygen that turns the blue blood to red in the lungs It Is oxygen that eliminates the waste tissue and builds up the new. Oxygen Is the nerve food, the blood food, the scavenger of the blood It Is so essential to every function of life that We could not live three minutes without 1t. There. would be no weak nerves. no lack of vitality, no impure blood, If we could feed to the blood little more oxygen.
 But oxygen Is a gas and unstable. The blood cannot hold an excess. Liuuozone Is liquid, concentrated and stable-not even volatile. In the process of manufac- ture it takes from the gas It's virtues. and 1t carries those virtues to every cell of every tissue. It gives to every nerve cen- ter just the food that 1t needs. It gives new power to every function of nature The results are remarkable and quick.

What Medicine DoeC

The utmost that medicine can do is 70 act as spur to Nature. This is true in any disease, as your physician will tell you Drugs never give to the body any element it needs. And drugs never kill inside germs.
 Medicine sometimes spurs nature to overcome the germs; but those results are indirect and uncertain. They depend on the patients condition. A cure by drugs is always doubtful. and in some diseases impossible. Some of you have continued medicine for years without getting more than temporary relief.
 Liquozone is direct and certain, because f. destroys the cause of a germ trouble Then 1t acts as q tonic, not as a stimulant IL gives food to the nerve centers-the food which nature intended. The results are inevitable and permanent. There 's no reactioE

'The farmers are not a trust" said Secretary Wilson, and to give all the de- tails of their enormous business would require too much space. Still can give you some of the items. Take cotton, for instance. We got high prices for that last year. Our exports amounted tu about 100000 pounds day, not includ- ing Sundays. and our receipts were about q .o0o, coo a day, or a gross amount of s31T.- 000.0o0 per year. This was all cold. clean money brought into the country for stuff sold abroad.
 Our grain exports were $6oO.o0 a day. We sent 204.000.000 bushels of wheat and almost half of that went in the shape of four We exported $17S,00o,0O0 worth of meat and enough beef and pork to have given every man, woman and child of the whole world one-half pound and enough additional to have made mess of hash for every one of them the next day. Those figures show you something of our agricultural interests. The Amer ican farmer Is the backbone of the coun- try. He is the biggest institution in it."

 Thirty-Three Dollars Every Second.
 Have you any idea," said Secretary Wilson as he turned to his desk, picked up pencil and made sdme figures on a slip of paper. Have you any idea of the money Uncle Sam's farmer capital ists bring into this country every year? The steel trust, the shipbuilding trust, and all the other trusts are peanut stands in comparison with 1t. I don't mean what our farmers sell at home, but what they sell abroad. The amount is so enor- nous you cannot comprehend it.

 That Is true to a minor extent" re- piled Secretary Wilson. But for years the farmer has been bringing over for eign gold from Europe Australia and Asia to even up our losses in other branches of trade. In the last thirteen years our average excess of exports over Imports amounted to about PIC million doiars per year. and during that time the annual balance of such trade in fa- vor of the farmer was 337 million dollars, that is, the farmer had not only to give the balance of trade in our favor, but he hau to pay $62.oOO.OO0 in the shape of an adverse balance to other imports. In the last fourteen years the farmers balance of trade amounted to almost five billion dollars. It was enough to pay all the losses of our other foreign business and to put 4.000 millions of dollars, in round numbers, to the credit of the nation

Kills Inside GermG.

The greatest value of lquozone lies in the fact that It kills germs in the body without killing the tissues, too There Is nothing else known which will do that Any drug that kills germs is q poiscn n, and 1t cannot be taken internally. For this reason. medicine is of little enect In a germ trouble, as every physician knows
 This problem Of killing inside germs Is the greatest problem that medical men ever met. These germs are the cause of most of the serious diseases And the only way to cure such diseases is to kill those germs. An internal germicide. ef- fective yet harmless. has been sought af- ter more than anything else in the history of medical practice.
 Liquozone has solved this problem.
 The chemist who discovered Liquozone first proved that germs are vegetables. Then he found that an excess of oxygen - the very life of an animal-is deadly to vegetable matter. Then he sought a way to get the virtues of oxygen In stable form into the blood. The result. after 2o years. is a product which kills inside germs-whieh does what nothing else can

 That may have been so some years ago." replied Secretary Wilson. Tt is not so now. You can't whine on a full stomach. full barns and full pocket book. That is the condition of the farm CT today. He Is growing rich. He has become a creditor instead of a debtor. He is a capitalist hunting places to in- vest his surplus. He has had good crops and good prices. and today his deposits are rolling in like golden tidal wave. flooding the western banks with more money than they can handle. The local banks are sending their millions to the East, and New York is taking what they cannot lend out in the West.

 Tt has always paid" replied Secretary Wilson, when managed in a business like manner. But the day has passed when you can take 1t up as a makeshift. The man who would make money in farming to-day must know his farm and how to farm 1t. He must know the na- ture of foods, and fertilizers. He must understand the markets and bring the same business judgment to bear that Is necessary to the success of other busi- nesseJ Above all the farmer must keep up to the times and farm scientifically, for it Is only in that way that he can get the most out of his land.

 Washington, D. C.. April 9.-I called on Secretary Wilson yesterday to ask some questions on capital and labor from the standpoint of the farmer. My interview was held at the Department of Agricul- ture during the busiest hour of the day, and the Secretary answered my ques- tions between jobs. As he did so I was surprised at his versatility. He is like Napoleon in that he can do four things at a time and do them all we'll His mind seemed to jump at seconds notice from the pasture lands of Dan to the grain fields of Bersheba, and when it landed it was all there.

 Why don't they take up their mort gages,'' said I. Not long ago 1t was said that the whole United States west of the Missouri was practically owned by the savings banks of New England"
 That Is not 90 now" replied Secretary Wilson. Those mortgages have been paid long ago, and vast sums have been spent in improving the farms. There are mortgages still, 1t is true, but they have been gwen by the sons of the farmers. who are now buying farms of their own"

 Do you consider farm lands a good in- vestment, Mir. Secretary

''That was in 1901." Secretary Wilson continued. Last year our exports were almost as large, and so 1t is going on year after year.

We are working for him and although we look over the fence now and then at the strug- gles of labor and capital we keep on our way saying nothing as to anything else but steadily saving wood"

 don't think such a thing possibIe,'' replied Secretary Wilson. This is a big country and farming is a big business. All the world is more or less engaged in 1t, and you can't control elements like that. Besides each farmer Is independ- ent of the other. and while all have to large extent common interests they are somewhat antagonistic to one an- other I think the farmers might be unit ed in tppposltion to anything vitaiiy against the interests of all, but that matter settled t--ey would as before act as individuals"
