SANTA FE BALLASTING.
Rock Crushers ON Southern Kansas
Division Are Working Steadily.

The work of ballasting the entire road
bed of the Southern Kansas division of
the Santa Fe with rock and of widening
the bridges so that they will stand dou-
BILE tracks goes ahead rapidly. Whenever
the Santa F'e undertakes anything it ac-
couplishes it without any waste of time
or energy. When the constantly increas-
ing business of the Southern Kansas
railroad demanded a double track be-
tween Kansas City and the Indian Terri
tory the Santa F'e management at once
made arrangements to meet the demand
and they are meeting it. Between Cha
mute and Ottawa there are four giant
rock crushers always at work supplying
the ballast for the Southern Kansas. This
rock is being laid every day. Train
loads amounting to hundreds and hum
dreds of tons have already Been placed on
the lines south of Ottawa.
The Southern Kansas is now one of the
most profitable divisions of the Santa. Fe
and the traffic over it's rails is heavier
than during last year. This is especially
true of the southern end of the division
along the line between Chanute and Bar
tlesville. Not only is the freight traffic
the heaviest in the history of the South
ern Kansas, but passenger traffic shows
a tremendous increase.
Before next summer comes the work of
ballasting and double tracking the line
between Kansas City and Bartlesville will
be nearly completed.

Liquozone is the result of a process

chemical research. The main result is
to get into a liquid, and thus into the
blood, a powerful, yet harmless, germi-
eide. Another result IS to create a vi
talizing tonic with which no other
known product can compare.

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 Ma
ture to overcome the germs. But those
results are indirect and uncertain. They
depend on the patients condition.
When drugs were prescribed for these
troubles, nobody knew of germs. Now
every good physician knows that they
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. Diseases which have re-
sisted 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 re-
suits are so certain that we will gladly
send to any patient who asks it an
absolute guaranty.
