this. he entered New Brunswick Theo-
logical seminary, graduating in 1880.
His first pastorate Was in the North

Rev. Dr.. Allen r. Bartholomew. pres-

recently elected by the board of foreign
missions of the Reformed church to
the office of secretary, was born at
Dannersville, Pa, Sept. 1G, 1870. In
the year 1874 he entered the TheOlOg-
ical seminary at Lancaster and was
licensed by Lancaster classes at Man

ton and installation as pastor took
place at Hummelstown on June II of
the same year.
Upon the resignation Of Rev. George
" Richards as pastor of Salem church
at Allentown DR.. Bartholomew was
chosen to succeed him. 1t was & most
trying ordeal for him to enter a Ger
man English charge after preaching no
German for almost eighteen years but
he adapted himself to the situation,
united the people and the first year
rallied them in the bold effort to pay
off entirely an indebtedness of almost
$4,000.
Dr. Bartholomew untiring efforts for
the cause have led to his elevation to

Louisiana DAY at st. Louis.
P~icayune. Sept. Is.
Yesterday, which was Liberty
Day in Louisiana, was specially
celebrated as Louisiana Day in
the great Louisiana Purchase
Exposition at St. Louis.
The Governor of Louisiana,
attended by a brilliant uniformed
staff. and accompanied by the
Governors of several States and
ladies', was escorted to the Ex-
position Grounds by a body Of
United States troops and some
Louisiana militia.
On arriving on the Gene. in
the Louisiana State Building, the
ceremonies of transferring the
vast province of Louisiana from
the Emperor of the French to
the United States Government
were re-enacted. several of the
gentlemen participating in the
proceedings being lineal decend-
ants of some of the original
actors in the transfer. The
Louisiana building, in which the
exercises we're held, is an exact
reproduction of the Cabildo. or
Council House, in which the
transfer was made in New Or
leans in 1903.
In the course of the ceremonial
speeches we're made first by
Governor Blanchard, represent
ing Louisiana as it is to-day:
next by Mr.. Omer Where. who
represented the original French
domination, and by Hon. A.
Estopinal, who stood for the
Spanish domination, which sue
ceeded the French proprietor
ship Of what are now thirteen
great States and Territories,
covering One-third'of the entire
area of the Union and peopled
by fifteen millions of inhabitants.
New Orleans, which was the
first. city in Importance in the
Louisiana Purchase Territory,
with its population of over 3OO,-
200, has been passed in that
respect by st. Louis with 6OO,-
900, while Minneapolis and St.
Paul in Minnesota, Omaha in
Nebraska, Kansas City in Mis-
souri,, and Denver in Colorado.
are all cities of from 100000 to
POO 900 inhabitants in the limits
| of the original Louisiana.
The Louisianians had an auspi-
cious day for their celebration,
and as carried out it appears to
have been a great success. It
is interesting to know that the
acquisition of Louisiana from the
French: of Florida from the
lSpaniards; of Texas, New
Mexico, California, Nevada and
Arizona from Mexico, was &C.
c0mplished by Democratic adj
ministratiOns, while that of
Alaska from Russia and Porto
Rico and the Philippines from
Spain, was made by Republicans.
The Democratic additions to the
national territory were charac-
terized by the greatest wisdom,
and have added enormously to
the wealth and power of the
Republic. On the other hand,
the conquests made by the Re-
publican administrations, with
the one exception of Alaska,

One of the main medicinal values of the new substance radium consists in it's power to produce liquid sunshine, ' which is drunk to the great .betterment of the internal organs of the patient that is, it seems somehow to reproduce real sunshine. Nevertheless it can in no measure improve on the real sunshine which we have all around us and which we can avail ourselves of always.

She was so fee- ble she could not walk across a room without fatigue. She had left only the will to be well. Alter all. that Is more than half the battle.
 The young lady resolved that, she would live, even though lung disease had already carried off some of her family. It seemed to her during the win ter months two years ago that if she "could only get out of doors' there would be help for her. She had to wait till June to gain her wish. By that time she could scarcely walk. Her brother, a woman friend and a cook accompanied her to a sunny spot in the Adirondack

Act.r Like Oxygen.

The virtue of Liquozone lies in the fact that 1t does what oxygen does. 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 10 red in the lungs. It is oxygen that elim mates the waste tissue and builds up the new. It Is the nerve force, the blood food; and every functin of life depends on it.
 But an excess of oxygen-the very life Of the animal-is deadly to vegetable matter. And germs are vegetables. There IS no douht that oxygen was intended by Nature to protect man against germs.
 But oxygen is gas, and unstable. Liquozone is not even volatile It carries Its virtues into the stomach, into the bowels and into the blood, to go wherever the blood goes. And as no germ can es- cape It. and none can resist 1t, the re- suits are inevitable.
 But Liauozone is more than a germl- eide. It Is a tonic with which no other

Germ Diseares.

The diseases in this list are known to be caused by germs or their toxins. The only way to cure them is to kill those germs. and medicines cannot do that. Medicine sometimes acts as a tonic, aid ing Nature to overcome the germs. But those results are indirect and uncertain, and they depend on the patients condI- ton.
 Liquozone is the only way to directly attack the cause of these troubles. For that reason. diseases which have resisted medicine for years yield at once to Liquo- zone; and it cures diseases which medi. cine never cured. The results are so cer- tain in any stage of any disease in this list that we will gladly send to every patient who asks 1t an al0'oIute guaranty.

 Of course the papers next day call him a crank, but they admit that he is man of tenacity of purpose, and that is a beloved American trait, so he scores a hit whenever he Is cranky that way.

This is how Liquozone came to be known in America.
 A few years ago some Chicago men in their travels learned that a new product had been discovered which would destroy at once and forever-the cause of a germ disease
 This product had for more than 20 years been the constant subject of scientific and chemical research. It was manu factured solely from gas. made in largo part from the best oxygen producers, and by a secret process requiring IA days. The product was then known as 1iquified ozone. because 1t accomplished what oxygen does.
 The remarkable cures due alone to this product led these men to investigate 1t. For two years they tested 1t, through physicians and hospitals. in this country and others, They cured with 1t thousands of the most difficult cases obtainable. in- cludlng every disease which was then called incurable. Then these men com bined and staked on this product their fortunes and their regulations.

 While the knowledge is fairly general that many old coins command high pre- miums.'' said coin dealer the other day, "still there are very few who understand why certain coins are worth more than others says The New York Times. '-The great majority of people wrongly think that the value of coin depends upon it's age, the result being that every coin coming into their possession more than fifty years old Is carefully laid away for some future time when there may be demand for 1t. The principal reason for large premium on Q coin is it's scarcity. The date has nothing whateveg to do with It. There are plenty of Roman coins thousands of years old, In good condition, which can be bought for S cents, while a. New Jersey cent issued in the latter part of the Revolution will bring 7oO. It Is due to the fact that there are only eight 1894 dollars in existence that those coins are worth from $l.200 up to any fg- ure one choose to pay for them.
