100000 Bales for This
Figure.

carrying into effect the holding over Of
about two million bales Of cotton of the
unsold portion of the crop of 1904, until
January, February and March, 1906, noS
more than one-third Of which should be
sold in each of these months, will be
acted upon the board of thirteen general
directors who will meet In New Orleans
February 4 to consider the preliminary
work Of organizing q permanent cotton
warehouse system throughout the entire
cotton states and territories.
This will leave about two and a half
million bales of cotton to be marketed
between this and October /, 1905. 1t
seemed to be the consensus of opinion Of
the delegates that not a bale Of these
two and one-half million bales should be
sold under any pretext whatsoever until
the price of cotton has reached a ten cent
basis, middling, New Orleans.

Millions of people. of nine different
nations, are constant users OF Liquo-
zone. Some are using 1t to get well;
some to keep well. Some to cure germ
diseases: some as a tonic. No medi-
cine was ever so widely employed.
These users are everywhere; your
neighbors and friends are among
them. And half the people you meet
wherever you are-know some one
whom Lquozone has cured.
If you need help. please ask some
of these users what Liquozone does.
Don't blindly take medicine for what
medicine cannot do. Drugs never kill
germs. For your own sake, ask about
i Liqozone; then let us buy you full
