Stirring Up tho Animals

Miss Ada Tarbell's personal history
OF John d. Rockefeller. in McClure's
magazine, has finally evoked reply
from the oil king, not from him per

which is the same thing The reply is
in reference only to one phase of her
sketch, the one which she alleges he

Oil stock out of former friend and
business associate, James Colrigap, of

Mr. Rockefeller, goaded by Miss
Tarb III S attack, denies that he be
trayed Corrigan.
Mr.. Corrigal, who has heretofore
kept silent follows with a denial OF
the Rockefeller denial, as it were, and
says he was robbed by Rockefeller
through attorneys who were paid to
rob him as they are paid now to de-
tend the Standard magnate.
Mr.. Corrigan says the half has not
yet been told.
Miss Tubell appears TO err in one
respect in her Rockefeller character
study, namely that her subject would
not break his policy of silence. 1t is
to- much to hope, however, that he
Will now talk freely.
Even honest investigator ever
made OF the Rockefeller career has
evoked the testimony that his almost
incalculable wealth has been acq uired
by robbery, legalized and otherwise,
oppression and fraud Yet chufc hes
aud other associations are willing to
render him aod his ilk and their can
cerous methods respectable by ac-
cepting with ;ow-hung obeisance

Liquozone is the only way known to
kill germs in the body without killing
the tissues, too. Any drug that kills
germs is poison, and 1t can not be
given internally. Medicine is almost
helpless in dealing with inside germs.
But germs are vegetables; and Ii
quozone-the very life of an animal
is deadly to vegetal matter. This fact
above all others-gives Liquozone
its value. There is no other way to
directly end the cause Of any germ

The way to know Liquozone, II you
have never tried it, is to ask for bot
tie free. We will then send you an
order on local druggist for full-size
bottle-a SOC bottle-and will pay the
druggist ourselves for 1t. This applies
only to the first bottle, of course-to
those who have never used it.
The acceptance of this offer places
you under no obligations. We simply
wish to convince you; to let the prod
uct itself show you what it can do.
Then you can Judge by results az to
whether you wish to continue.
This offer itself should convince you
that Liquozone does as we claim. We
would certainly not buy bottle, and
give it to you, II there was any doubt
of results. You want those results;

New York or Chicago is $500 on the
car of stoves. Carson City pays 1881
more for 1913 mile shorter haul than
to Sacramento.
1t seems the traffic will bear fairly
good rate at Carson City, and it must
be true as Mr. Morton says that no
complaints are made with a gum
otherwise, were it not for the four
pound limit to merchandise in mails,
people there would surely ship stoves
by mail.
If one stove weighing 500 pounds is
shipped from Chicago to Carson City,
New, it takes third class rate (S3.47
per 100 pounds) the freight being
$1735. If the stove is shipped from
Chicago to Hawthorne, New, 141 miles
from Reno, the freight ($4.20 per hun
dred) is $21. The same weight Of news
papers carried in the mails for the
publisher would require S. postage to
either point, from any point.
When we get to point two hundred
miles east of the coast at Champion,
Calf, the rate is the same as if made
on the class rate ($1.85 per hundred
pounds) from Chicago, or if billed to
the coast points and shipped back to
Champion, Calf, on the local sixty
cent rate from Sacramento, Calf. If
we ship to Summit, Calf, 1875 miles
from the coast we save $14.40 freight
on the car billing it on the coast rate
and back from Sacramento If sent to
Fulda, Calf, the rate is $10S per car
less than class rate, because Of being
able to bill back locally.
This is the same principle, or want

they charge us the through rate to
