The Living Present.

F. Marion Crawford, the prolific nov
elist, has little sympathy with the
''ara for arts sake" cult. He has a
swift, fluent pen, and does not believe
in that indefatigabIe polishing which
Walter Pater advocated. Otherwise
Mr.. Crawford could not possibly turn
out the number of volumes annually
that he does.
A young woman was introduced to
Mr.. Crawford recently. Hearing that
he was novelist, she said:
And have you written anything that
will live after you are gone:
4 don't know" he replied. "You
see. what am after is something that
will enable me to live while 1 am

To reach my home too SOON

Near where the statue stands.
There walked a son and father,
And they were holding hands.
But, as 1 watched them sadly,
The man in anger flung
Aside the little fingers
That to his own had chung.

The weary boys demands.

We Shall Spend 100000
To Give LiQuozone Away.

This Company, after testing Liquo-
zone for two years in the most difficult
germ diseases, paid 100000 for the
American rights. That is the highest
price ever paid for similar rights on
any scientific discovery.
We are now spending $4,000 to
give the product away--one bottle to
each of a million sick ones. We are
doing this so that every sick one may
let Liquozone itself prove what it
can do.
The commercial. (Union City, Tenn.) 190?-193?, 1904-02-05

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
ternalIy. 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 il. 1t cures dis
eases which medicine never cured.
