admissions and the common knowledge of all Delaware.
 The little State of Delaware was the first of the original thirteen to adopt the Constitution. From time imme- morial almost 1t had been represented In the United States Senate by two Democrats. But in 1888, swept by the political wave which carried the Republicans into power, Delaware was moored within the Republican harbor and 1t became evident within two days after the election that the Democratic Senatorial succession was about to be broken
 Addicks was in Europe when the election took place. but he developed the Senatorial ambition and fixed upon i Delaware as his favorite State with re- markable celerity. Almost before the cable had told the news on the other side Addicks wired to his friends that | be wanted to be a Delaware Senator and asked them to hold the seat" for him.
 The seat which Addicks wanted held was then occupied by George Gray now a United States Judge. who headed : President Roosevelts coal strike com mission a few years ago. It already had been decided by the Republicans that Anthony J. Higgins should take Gray's place in Washington. and there fore the Addicks cablegram didn't make much of an impression.
 Early in 1889. however. Addicks jour neyed to Dover the lit1e States capital It was just about tben that he charter ed his Delaware Bay State Gas Compa- ny. concerning which that accomplish ed litteratcur and financier Thomas w. Lawson has since written so entertain ingly. Addicks had with him on that visit to Dover two friends of his from Boston.
 Addicks and his friends made exten- sive inquiries about the political situa- tiOn in Delaware, learned for the first time apparently, that Higgins was a candidate for the Senatorsbtp. and an-

 Certainly the fight for a United States Senatorship from Delaware was a suf- ficient strenuous contest to satisfy the longings of most men, no matter how eager for excitement and nervous strain. But in sense the Senatorship Aght was a side issue for Addicks. since all the time 1t was in progress he was also fighting the battles Of the Bay State Gas mpanies-there were three of them, one incorporated in Mas sachusetts, one in New Jersey and one in Delaware-which gave him the nick name of Gas Addicks."
 In the fight over gas, Addicks had to go through all sorts of ordeals; his companies were constantly beset with perils, both from within and without; there were receiverships and intunc- tions, the necessity of hurled journeys of guarded offices and all the weird things which go along with the modern strains and struggles for dollars by the ton, and make those who win more fa- nous than statesmen, poets or philan- thropists Lawson of Boston" then sort of so-between for the Rocke- fellers and Addicks. has told this part of the story with such breeziness. dash and vigor as to interest readers by the hundreds of thousands. even If some Of them were not wholly convinced.
 Meanwhile Lawson himself set out tc achieve something which 1t turned ou was beyond the power of mere money to bring about. He didn't try to wir the plaudits of his fellows througt philanthrophy, as the world believes Rockefeller has. nor yet to get public office. after the manner of Addicks. What Lawson of Boston tried to dC was to defend the America's Cup witf yacht built with his own money. IT this he laid out the cash as freely probably. as Addieks spent his in try ing to be Senator.
 Neither spent as much as Rockefel- ler's philanthropies have cost, but that has been only because he had had more to spend. That the three men were well tied up together in affairs at one time IS as curious phase of the whole business as that they are now at outs
 Lawson's fight to be recognized as a yachtsman was as tense and bitter while 1t was on as Addick's fight to be Sena- tor but Lawson's fight lasted only two or three years. He must have planned his campaign in 1899. He announced his purpose to build a cup defender In 1900 and set about building the famous Independence forthwith. She was de- signed by B. B. Crowninshield. She cost $2OO,0OO straight, not counting the thousands spent in maintaining her during her short life. in breaking her up after the hopelessness of her mis- sion was apparent, and in other ways.
 The first snag Lawson ran against was the refusal of the New York Yacht Club men to allow . yacht owned by or chartered by any one not a member of the club to compete in the trials pre-

It was proposed to him that he should sell a share in his yacht to a member of the New York Yacht tClub and let her sail in the trials un- der this members flag. but Lawson wouldn't do that.
 Lawson was all stirred up about the whole business. but not bit more than was the New York Yacht Club. nor more than the general public. The question Has Lawson been treated fairly?" became national, even ansfn-' ternational one. and those who discuss- ed 1t took sides, often violently. Fin- ally, when Lawson broke Independence up he had much of her remains made into cups and mugs and other souvenirs for his friends and admirers.
 Lawson's history of the America'a Cup prolonged the excitement some- what. He had 5000 copies printed for private distribution, at a cost of $6O,00os In 1t he paid his compliments to the New York Yacht Club in terms almost as vigorous as he has since used in tell~ ing about the wickedness of H. H. Rog- CTS, J. Edward Addicks and the others who compose the Copper-Standard oil crowd.
 Many have supposed his cup history to be his first literary venture. but 1t wasn't. In 1888 he wrote history of political parties, of which the Republi- can National Committee distributed 100000 copies. Long before then. when little more than a boy, he wrote book of verse entitled '"The Krank. His Ian- guage and What It Means" It had to do with baseball. and here is c sample of its contents:
 Only a murdered umpire, Only a bushel of bricks,
 can, a cat and such things as that, And an umpire done with his tricks.
 He had the book printed on blood parchment paper" of his own invention. and 1t was sold extensively.
 It is worth while adding that yacht- ing has never been Lawson's real game. any more than politics has been Ad- dicks. Lawson tried to play the garne with the aid of money. merely. and he failed.

During the past two years, this re- markable product has sprung into worldwide use in the treatment or germ diseases. It is used more gen. erally than any remedy ever used be- fore.

And in numberless homes where Idquozone is daily used. sick ness has been almost banished. But there are millions of others who don't know Liquozone yet.

For the American rights to Liquo- zone. and the rights in other countries have sold for proportionate sums. We mention this fact to indicate the value of Liquozone-the value to you. Men have never before paid such a price for any discovery used in the cure of sickness.
 We need not tell you that we proved Liquozone well before buying it. For years it was tested through physicians and hospitals, in this country and others. It was employed in every stage of every germ disease; in all the most difficult cases obtainable. With thousands of sick ones, considered in- curable, we proved that 1t did what medicine could not do Then, and then only, did we pay the price.
 Since then we have spent nearly 2,000,O00 to make Liquozone known. We have bought the first bottle and given 1t free to every sick one we learned of. These people told others, and the others told others. The re- suit is that Liquozone is now more widely employed than any medicine ever was. And no one can doubt that 1t is doing more for sick humanity than all the drugs in use combined.

All belonged to the old Creole aristoc- racy--the proudest and most exclusive In the land-dating their titles to their estates back to the early days of French and Spanish occupation and boasting that they had kept their blood pure through all changes of gov@ ernment and all vicissitudes of for tune. Each family took along such og It's former slaves as preferred to foI~ low the fortunes of their old masters rather than Sccept their freedom and try the uncertain and hazardous expa4 riment of making their own way In the world.
 'The immigrants arrived in Belize in the summer of 1865, and were cordiallx welcomed by the colonial authorities. They were given 500 acres each ot crowns lands and were exempted from taxation for ten years. The new set~ clement was called Toledo.
 The example of the aristocratic Southerners in carrying out for them- selves new homes in the tropic jungle has rarely been emuIated. They had been reared in the land of luxury. A host of slaves had always been ready to obey or anticipate their slightest wish. Yet they set to work with axe and machete, toiling in the woods alongside their former chatteIs, to provide temporary shelters from the elements and to plant crops for their future necessities. and ere long a nain~ fature Louisiana arose where the 1ord~ ly palm had held undisputed sway. Most of the houses are patterned after the old colonial mansions of the South. The blacks arc free. of course. but the relations between master and servant are practically the same as those that existed in the cotton States half a cen- tury ago. The old black mammy "a still the household tyrant and the children's defender. just as she was in the days of Uncle Tom.
 The same open-handed hospitality that has always characterized the sun~ ny South rules in Toledo today, and the tourist or trader who is drawn hither, on pleasure or. buisness win never regret the chance.

We spend 14 days and nights to create the virtue which you find in Liquozone. During all of that time 1t employs immense apparatus, and skill and care. At the end of two weeks. we get one cubic inch of Liduozone Tor each 1250 cubic inches of gas used.
 This process has. for more than 20 years, been the constant subject Of scientific and chemical research. The obiect is to take gases which are ger micides. tonics, nerve foods and blood foods, and to condense their virtues into liquid, stable form.
 The main result is to get into a Mquid. and thus into the blood. pow erfuI yet harmless germicide. Ana the product Is so helpful-so good for you under any condition-that even well person feels its instant benent.
 Liquozone is not made. like medl- cine, by compounding acids and drugs; nor is there any alcohol in it. It's virtues are derived solely from gas. made in large part from the best oxy- gen producers. Nothing but gas en- ters into it.

Kills Inside Germs.

The greatest value of Liquozone lies in the fact that 1t kills germs in the body without killing the tissues, too. And no man knows another way to do it. Any drug that kills germs Is a poison, and 1t cannot be taken inter nally. For that reason. medicine is almost helpless in any germ disease.
 Liquozone IS a germicide so certain that we publish on every bottle an of- fer of S1 900 for a disease germ that It cannot kill. Yet 1t Is not only harm less but of wonderful benefit-better than anything else in the world for you. No one Is so well that he cannot be helped by 1t.
 The reason is that germs are vege- tables; and Hquozone-like an excess of oxygen-is deadly to vegetaI matter.
