thing which was probably worth more
to him than the six camels-his head.
In addition to the gift Of the viceroy,
a number of the fine dromedaries, the
blueblooded races of Oman, were pur-
chased, together with camels trained
to carry heavy burdens, and all were
placed on board the Supply, which
was in readiness for the return trip.

CAMELS FOR TRANSPORTATION
IN NEVADA.

that part of the west known as the |
Great American Desert, which lies |
southwest of Salt Lake and extends to |
the Sierra Nevadas, a waterless waste |
of nearly three thousand square miles.
Since the discovery of gold in almost
incalculable quantities in the midst of
this American Sahara, yearly toll in
human lives has been eXacted by the
guardian of the treasure. The desert
claims her price from the horde of
adventurous mortals who, while en-
deavoring to satiate their thirst for
gold, count without that which is far
more precious-water. With the dis
covery of valuable ore at Tonopah in
1900, the attack upon what Is consid
cred the worst part of this country
has been unceasing, and few stop to
count the cost in human life when
there are millions in treasure in the
balance.
A scheme is now well under way to
overcome the terrors of the desert
that, if successful, is expected to net
an immense fortune for a group of
men who have undertaken the task
that of importing camels into this
country from the Orient. Surely the
ingenuity of the American mind must
have reached an insurmountable OBJ
stacle when the use of camels for gold
mining purposes must be resorted to,
which is about to be done.

1856 that Jefferson Davis, who was
then secretary of war, conceived the
idea of organizing camel corps in the
army, and commissioned Major Henry
G. Wayne to proceed to Cairo and ar
range with the Egyptian government
for permission to import into the
United States a number of male and
female dromedaries for service in the
arid southwestern country in cam
paigns against the Indians, and for
rapid transportation of the mails and
supplies. The navy department, in

Shortly after the arrival of the mis-
sion in the Orient there occurred an
episode which almost led to inter-
national complications, and caused his
highness, the viceroy of Egypt, great
modification at the time, but the in
cident possessed a humorous side as
well. 1t seemed that when Major
Wayne and Lieutenant Porter re-
quested through the United States
consul, permission to purchase and
transport to this country small herd
of camels as a scientific experiment,
the viceroy was extremely gracious,
and as a mark of his good will and
interest ordered that six camels, the
finest obtainable, should be purchased
and presented to the United States
government through the representa-
tives sent with the mission.
This was very gratifying to the Of
ficers, who were notified that the gift
was ready to be delivered to them.

Worms in Hogs

The hog Is more infected with in
testlnal worms than any other domes-
tic animal. The worms are created
by impure Accommodations along The
intestinal track and generally pro-
daced by poorly digested food. rhe
nature of the hog and his manner of
eating renders hum more susceptible
of Intestinal worms than any other
animal. Under the present domestl-
Gated conditions he is not allowed the
use of his natural instincts to obtain
the necessary element that would de-
stroy these intestinal parasites. The
hog that is wormy can neither grow
nor thrive for the reason that the
worms destroy all the effects of the
nutrition furnished i'll the feed. lii
qnld koal strengthens the appetite
and tones up the system.

death to the animal before the owner
has discovered that it was diseased.
Thus through reasoning, two facts
stand out clearly First, that hog
cholera can not be treated succ i,
unless treatment Is commenced before
he germ has reached the period OF
rapid multiplication. Second, that
germlcide must be administered. and
therein lies the whole secret. AS we
pass down through the list of various
germlcides we are compelled one by
one to reject them, either because of
their inetlicacy or inadaptibility, until
we reach LIQUID kOAL.
And why choose LIQUID kOAL?
because it is the only known germi-
eide that will pass through the stom-
ach into the intestines and from there
INTO the bowels, permeating the entire
system. and still retain its germicide
properties.
1t is compound embracing every
practical germicide, anticeptic and

1t contains Creesol and Quiacol. 1t
is these Hydro Carbon compounds

stroying by its germicidol properties
all germ life.
The reader may ask If these prop
critics come from coal. The answer is
because coal yields those properties
only by distillatiOn at about $50 de
gree of heat and it is reasonable to
assume that hogs stomach could
not generate that amount of heat
without becoming roast pork, seasoned
with fired germs.
We would also call the readers at.
