Germ Diseases.

These are the known germ diseases;
all due TO germs, or the poisons which
germs create. These are the diseases
to which medicine does not apply, for
drugs cannot kill inside germs
All that medicine can do for these
troubles is to act as a tonic. aiding
Nature to overcome the germs. But
those results are indirect and uncer-
tain They depend on the patients
condition. When drugs were pre-
scribed for these troubles, nobody
knew of germs. Now every good ply
sician knows that thew call for a
germicide
Liquozone alone can destroy the
cause of these troubles. 1t goes
wherever the blood goes. No germ
can escape it, and we have found no
disease germ which can resist it. Dis
eases which have resisted medicine for
years yield at once to Liquozone, and
it cures diseases which medicine never
cures. In any stage OF any disease in
this list, the results are so certain
that we will gladly send to any patient
who asks it an absolute guaranty.

CARRIERS POOR WAGES.
Representative Hearst Sought to
Have Rural Service Cond.-

Rural letter carriers have lost their
fight to obtain adequate compensation
from the government The Republic
an majority in congress has gone on
record in favor Of the meager allow
aDce Of $50 a month to rural carriers
who have to buy and feed their own,
horses and work every day in the year
in all kinds Of weather.
When the rural carriers went to con-
gress with their petition they found
but half a dozen active supporters, and
in the lead Of the fight for justice and
decent wages stood Representative
William Randolph Hearst Of New
York. Against the united opposition
to a fair increase Mr. Hearst and a
few fair minded Democrats sought to
amend the postal appropriation bill
and give the carriers salaries commen-
surate with the service they perform
Their efforts were frustrated by de-
termined majority. The rural carriers

The Birth OF the Opal.

There is i beautiful little story told
about the opal, that delicate stone
which you have no doubt seen in rings
and bracelets. The story is that the
opal was long ago promised to any
body who could discover it. 1t lay hid
den away, so the old fortune tellcrs
used to say, at the place where the
sunlight and the moonlight joined
each other, and whoever could ind
that spot would be rewarded by
quantity of large, beautiful opals. Aft
er long search for the place where
the sunlight and moonlight joined
each other the place was found by a
Spanish traveller, who followed up the
rays Of the setting sun, and when he
had reached the end Of the last ray he
waited until the nloonbeams shone up
on the earth, and there he found the
opals. They are said to be very lucky
stones for those who are born in the
fall Of the year and very unlucky for
those born in the spring. Of course IL
is only a saying that these are lucky
or unlucky, but the rest Of the story ls
true, as you will believe If you look II
the heart Of an opal and see the pink
tints Of the sun and the blue rays OF
the moon nesting in the middle Of it.

Chcs9 Coal.

IL recent report by the American
consul at Eladiyostok it is stated that
coal is mined in that district at cost
Of cents i ton Until short time ago
the cost Of production was S cents a
ton In fixing wage rates for Amer
lean miners the coal barons invariably
make comparisons With the cost Of pro-
duction in other parts of the world,
and this tends to keep the earnings Of
the American ut the lowest possible
point. ABOUT the only influence in this
country which has combated the wage
reducing tendency of the coal barons
has been the insistent and persistent
effort of the Hearst papers, which are
under the direct editorial management
Of William Randolph Hearst.
Attempts have been made to enforce
antitrust laws to loosen the grip Of the
coal operators upon American domestic
and industrial life, and the publicity
given the methods Of the greedy monop-
olists has been effective in mitigating
somewhat the unjust conditions.

TIE ANGRY TREE.
Peculiar Antics Of This Curiosity of
Plant Life.

Peculiar Antics Of This Curiosity of
Plant Life.
There is in the wildS Of northwestern
Idaho a species of the acacia tree
which is entitled to be classed as one
of the wonders Of plant life. 1t grows
to height of about eight feet and
when full grown closes its leaves to-
gether in coils each day at sunset and
curls its twigs to the shape Of pigtails.
After the tree has settled itself thus
for q nights sleep. if touched the whole
thing will futter as if agitated or i'm
patient at being disturbed. The oftener
the foliage is molested the more vio-
lent becomes the shaking Of the
branches. and at length the tree emits
nauseating odor. which if inhaled for
a few moments causes violent, dizzy
headache.
The angry tree, as it has been named,
was discovered by travellers, who upon
making camp for the night placed one
end Of a canvas covering over one Of
the sensitive branches. using it for a
support. Immediately the tree began to
sharply jerk its branches. The motion
continued. growing more nervous. until
at last the sickening odor which 1t
gave out drove the tired campers to
more friendly location. Curiosity Of
course prompted an investigation. One
of the angry trees was dug up and
thrown to one side Immediately upon
being removed from the ground the
tree opened its leaves, its twigs lost
their pigtails, and for something over
an hour and half the outraged
branches showed their indignation by
series Of quakings, which grew
weaker as time passed, finally ceasing
altogether, when the foliage hung limp
and withered. The next morning the
tree was placed upright in the ground
again, a little water was applied to the
roots, and very soon it resumed Its
normal condition.-Boston Globe.

entire skin covered with thick coat

which prey upon the fish.
This extraordinary fish is one OF the
few fishes Of little or no use to man.
."I am of the opinion" says a natu-
ralist, that the hard skin might be
utilized. I once learned that the boys
OF a certain village in Maine were
anxious to secure the muscular en-
velope of a specimen caught by me to
use it as rubber. They cut the hard,
elastic substance into round shapes
and used them for the interior of home

They Can Smell Land Long Cefore VI
Comes In Sight
The ability Of horses to smell land
when far at sea is not generally known,
but the equine must be credited With
this acute sense.
When a well known horseman Of
Philadelphia went to Europe some time
ago he took blooded horse with him.
The animal was in specially prepared
stall on deck and enjoyed the trip
despite the rough weather. When the
horseman thought land should soon be
sighted, he asked the captain how far
the ship was from the Irish coast. The
commander of the steamer, in his usual
gruff manner, replied: sYour horse will
tell you. Watch him
The owner Of the animal could not
understand what the captain meant,
and he was rot particularly pleased
with the answer. Finally, however,
and u couple of hours before land was
observed, the horse, which was mag

the grating and, stretching his neck,
whinnied loudly

"a great many people contend that

Is q native Of the Wabash valley, in
Indiana. 1t was found by William
Henry Harrison's troops during that
solemn march to TippecanoFin 1911.
Harrison gathered small army at
Ohio Falls and started north. AT Vim
cennes the gallant heroes realized that
they could not so 200 miles up the
Wabash without feed for their horses.
General Harrison had two cribs Of
corn at Terre Haute and persuaded the
men to go on. AS they came on with
hungry horses and scant feed they
found the ground covered with blue
grass.
six miles west Of Newport, on the
Collett farm. was found bountfful
supply Of blue grass. Some places in
the bottom it was growing three feet
high, and such feed had never been
heard Of by the Kentucky soldier. At
State Line City more blue grass was
found, and from there to Tippecanoe
the whole line of march was covered
with blue grass.
"The seed was carried back to Ken
lucky and sown there, but they could
not make it thrive alone in the warm
soil, and it had to be sown with oats
and rye. Mr. SanduSky told me in an
early day that no blue grass grew in
Kentucky until after it was imported
from Indiana. Tom Downing Of Terre
Haute was an ardent admirer Of Hen
ry Clay and once vent to visit him at
bis home near Ashland. Ky. After
seeing the fine farm we'll set in blue
grass Downing suggested that Mr..
Clay let him have some Of tic seed to
take back to Indiana.
Tom, don't make a fool Of your
self said Clay. The grandsire of
Kentucky blue grass is growing
around your house and in the fence
corners Of your fields. We got the
seed from Terre Haute and the mid
die Wabash and after hard struggle
got it to grow here In its present lux

robbers were put to death without

after interment, but in the case Of q

Of bis possessions was the penalty.
Constantine decreed that q woman
might obtain a divorce If she could
prove that her husband had disturbed

MONKEY MOTHERS.
They Display iiore Pure Affection
Than ANY Other Animal.

They Display Store Pure Affection
Than Amy Other Animal.
A wild beast tanner Of long expert
ence tells some interesting thi&ss OF
the affection of animals for their
young. He had an elephant once, he
says, who did all in her power to spoil
her young one. She fused over it and
cuddled it up so that when the time
came for it to leave the cage it was
simply unmanageable. When one OF
the men made bold move toward the
baby he was promptly butted In the
stomach and bowled over in peculiar
way which the youngster had Of ex-
pressing his feelings toward those
whom he disliked. at last by ruse
the mother and son were separated.
But there was no such thing as keep
ing them apart. The baby rubbed the
skin off it's forehead and trunk trying
to get through the bars, and both
walled so long and piteously that the
keeper was obliged to put them to-
gether again.
\ shy baby camel that passed
through the hands Of this same trainer
refused to look upon the world except
from its favorite station between its
mothers legs. The mother, too, would
show her displeasure at any effort to-
ward intimacy by splitting violently at
every one in sight.
The kangaroo also is very fond Of
her offspring and will patiently carry
It about long after it is ready to hop on
its own account.
But for a display Of pure affection
the mother monkey beats any other
animal, and when there IS an addition
to the family circle there is general re-
joicing. 4 baby monkey sticks fast by
it's mother, and, asleep or awake, it
seems always IN her thoughts.
