Kills Inside Germs

Liduozone is not made by compound
ing Grugs, nor is there alcohol in it.
It's virtues are derived solely from gas
largely oxygen gas-by process re-
curing immense apparatus and II
days time. This process has, for more
than 20 years, been the constant sub
ject of scientific and chemical research.
The result is a liquid that does what
oxygen does. 1t is nerve food and
blood food-the most helpful thing in
the world to you. It's effects are ex-
hilarating, vitalizing, purifying. Yet

will exactly repeat the New York ex-
perience. She will spend July motor
ing through France and Italy, and re.
turns to Paris during the latter part
of August, where she puts herself in
the hands of dressmakers for eight
weeks, varied by dinners at the smart
restaurants and weekend house par
ties at French chateaux
This omits the Newport season,
which she will take up the follow
ing year, as it is inconvenient to sand
wich it in every year. Her house will
remain open, however, under the care
of ten servants, in case she should
wish to run over at the end of the
London season for five weeks before
going to Paris.
If she decides on this she will go
to a ball or dinner every night, or give
one.
This Is the actual expenditure of
vitality, brains and moral and physical
energy which society requires OF its
celebrated leaders.

81 900 for d.sease germ that it can
not kill. The reason is that germs are
vegetables; and Liquozone-like an ex-
cess of oxygen is deadly to vegetal
matter.
There lies the great value Of Liquo-
zone. It is the only way known to kill
germs in the body without killing the
tissues, too. Any drug that kills germs
is Z poison, and it can not be taken in
ternally. Medicine is almost helpless
in any germ disease. 1t is this fact
that gives Liquozone it's worth to hui
mainly. And that worth is SO great
that we have spent over one million
dollars to supply the first bottle free to
each elk one we learned of.

We paid 100000 for the American
rights to Liquozone; the highest price
ever paid for similar rights on any
scientific discovery. We did this after
testing the product for two years,
through physicians am hospitals, in
this country and others. We cured all
kinds of germ diseases with it-thous-

it's popularity as money standard
during the political campaigns of 1896

In the east they have long been looked
on with disfavor, people infinitely pre-
ferring their paper representatives.
That now appears to be the case in the
west also. The demand for paper adj
vances while that for silver dollars
remains practically stationary. Our
standard silver dollars weigh 412.5
grains, or about twenty-five grains
less than an ounce avoirdupois.
Roughly speaking, it may be accepted
as weighing one ounce, so that no
large amount of silver money can be
carried in the white metal without
entailing the transporting OF burden
some weight. Although our circula-
ton per capita is in excess OF $31, the
reports do not show in the circulation
one silver dollar for each person in

of money in circulation approximates

this sum is covered by silver dollars.

Silver Giving Way to Paper

For a long time paper bills of the
smaller denominations have circulated
in the east while silver dollars have
been used for pocket money in the
west. The Boston Herald in the fol-
lowing article shows the tendency of
the paper to displace the coin in the
west also:
Evidently silver as currency is be-
coming unpopular, even in the west.
Merchants in that section complain

$4S0,000,000, while subsidiary silver
makes up more than 100000, 00o
1t is reasonable to suppose that the
bulk of the silver dollars actually In
circulation are to be found in the
west and south, and now that the west
is demanding paper rather than sill

POWER OF A MAN.
How Governor Folk Destroyed the
lobbv

Lobby.
(Speed Mosby in Golfers Weekly.)
When Joseph W. Folk in his in
augural address on January 9, 1905,
said professional lobbying should be
made crime" the public at once
knew that the governor meant pre-
cisely what he said.
For quarter of century, at least,
the railroad lobby has absolutely
bound and throttled and gagged near
ly every legislature that has assem-
bled in Missouri, and during the
whole of this time the state was sub
jected, in greater or less degree,
to the domination of tyrannical
junta of astute politicians known as
the railroad lobby. To antagonize
this formidable engine Of ultralegis-
lative power was folly, and to at
tempt the passage of law in the face
of it's opposition was always impracti-
cable and often utterly futile The
lobby was king.
Today that power no longer exists,
and probably in no state in the union
has change of such magnitude been
wrought SO suddenly and completely,
and without the enactment of single
statute upon the subject. Many times
within the past quarter of century
attempts have been made to legislate
against the lobby, and the last attempt
in fn oh
ten years ago. The chairman of that
committee, it may be mentioned, was
defeated for reelection two years ago,
by the hurting of empty baking pow
der cans into the political meetings
held in his interest.
Without statute to aid him, with
no constitutional authority" it is
said, and with scarcely a word from
the silent man who sits in the execu-
tive chair at the Missouri capital, the
lobby is vanquished. The reason of
it all is in the man Folk. Not rail
road pass has been seen in Jefferson
City since "JOe" Folk came to town
and none is sought by the members
and clerks of the legislature. Not a
whisper of bribery or corruption has
been heard. There is none. Joseph
w. Folk has made boodling danger
Gus profession in Missouri. The poll
ticians fear him, and they fear him
because the people love him-because
public opinion is back of him in all
that he says and does, and in Danish
ing the corrupt lobby from Missouri,
Governor Folk has indicated the ON
nipotent power of righteous public
opinion.

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-
rect and uncertain. Liquozone attacks
the germs, wherever they are. And
when the germs which cause disease
are destroyed, the disease must end,
and forever. That is inevitable.
