Dne-we'll Pay for it.
We Paid 100000

For the American rights TO Liqro-
zone-the highest price ever paid for
similar rights on any scientific dis
covery. We did this after testing the
product for two years, through physi-
clans and hospitals, IN this country
and others.
That price was paid because Liquo-

the drugs, all the skill IN the world,
cannot accomplish without it. 1t car

harmless germicide. to destroy at once
and forever the cause OF any germ dis

81 900 for a disease germ that it can
not kill.

If an experienced team, an abund-
ance of new material and the most en-
couraging enthusiasm count for
aught. Moline high school will have a
champion track team this spring. Med
ais and banners already loom up be-
fore the numerous candidates for field
and track honors, and the prospects
are the talk of the school. A few
days of spring-like weather have in
spired a renewal of the crusade for
the quara ter-mile cinder track, which
will surely be installed as soon as
the ground will permit. Mayor Skin
'ner has displayed his good will by
promising to personally see that the
track will be ready for use within
two weeks after the ground thaws.

When Medicine Fails Try Liquozone-ve'n

Medicine must fail in a germ trouble,

Germ Diseases.

These are the known germ diseases.
All that medicine can do for these
troubles IS to help Nature overcome
the germs, and such results are indi-

the germs, wherever they are, and the
results are inevitable. By destroying
the cause OF the trouble, it invariably
ends the disease, and forever.

Woman IS Years Of Age Killed y
Bear in Pender County-Shot Him
With Single-BarreI Shot Gun.

An act Of unusual bravery that
occurred in Fender county several
days ago was related by a citizen of
that county yesterday.
The scene of the occurrence was on
Sandy Run, near the old New Bern
road. Late one afternoon a few days
ago., Mrs. Sarah Clair, a woman rs
years of age, who lives with
Mr.. and Mrs. Peter Batson.
was near the house in the
woods, when she heard a pig squeal-
Ing. Her first thought vas that some
one was attempting to steal the pig
and she went to see il she was correct.
To her establishment. when she came
in sight of the pig, instead of seeing
a full-grown bear slapping the pig
with his paws. h slapped her
hands at the bear in an attempt to
brighten him away, but he continued
TO play with his victim.
h aged woman had no intention
of allowing the bea to injure the hog.
SO she proceeded to the house and
began % get ready for battle.
No n was at the house but Mrs.
Clair and Mrs. Batson. The former
armed herself with a single-baruel
shot gum, and h also carried along
an axe to use in case the gun did not
put an end to bruin.
There was a fence a short distance
from where the bear was, and Mrs.
Blair laid her gun on this and took
aim. AT the discharge of the gun the
bear. ceased worrying the pig, and
at first looked like he was going to
attack Mrs. Clair, but suddenly turn
ed and dashed into the woods. Mrs.
Clair had her ready for use in
case the bear had attacked her.
A few days after the occurrence the
bear was found dead several hundred
yards from where he was shot. The
load had entered his left side. The
bear weighed nearly 500 pounds. Mrs.
Clair had not fired a gun in more than
fifty a In the years to come the
descendants of Mrs. Clair will often
relate h story Of her brave and fear
less act.
