to Open Up Timber Lands.

Jackson, Miss, March 3.--(Special.)-
Governor Vardaman has been requested
to issue his proclamation authorizing the

Hattlesburg.
1t Is stated that the terminals of said
proposed railroad shall be in the city of
Birmingham, Ala, and Baton Rouge, La,
passing through the counties of Wayne.
Jones. Perry, Lamar, Marion and Pike
In the state of Mississippi.
The privilege of constructing branch
lines from Meridian to some point on the
Alabama line opposite Lauderdale or
Clark county, Mississippi. Another branch
line is proposed from Waynesboro in a
southeasterly direction through the coun-
ties of Wayne, Green and Jackson to
the city Of Pascagoula, or Scranton in
Jackson county
The incorporators express the hope that
they will be able to complete the road
in the state of Mississippi within six
years.
This is one of the most important and
interesting railroad construction propo-
sitions that has been submitted to the
governor of the state of Mississippi in
years. If constructed it will open up a
country and pine region that Is almost
virgin, and the wealth of which is prac-
tically unknown.

DOGS DO GOOD WORK.
Locate Man In CulIman County In a
DrizzIing Rain.

Decatur, March B. Especial -One of the
most remarkably successful catches that
has ever been made by bloodhounds in
this portion of the state was made by
a pair Of thoroughbred bloodhounds own
ed by It. K. Boggs of this city, late yes
terday in Cullman county.
Mr.. Boggs was telegraphed to go to
Cullman yesterday, which he did reach
ing there with his doge lat Elm the even
ing He was wanted to chase down
young white man named Tom Wowden,
who was wanted on the charge of at
tempt to murder, besides being wanted by
the sheriff of Cullman county on half
|, dozen other charges. Wowden has escaped
the sheriff of Cullman county no less
than a dozen times.
When Mr.. Boggs reached the scene of
the crime yesterday the trail was nine
teen hours old, but the dogs followed 1t
through a drenchlng rain for a number
of miles and finally located Wowden In
his fathers home near Brooblin, fourteen
miles east OF Cullman. Wowden was hid
ing in the attic of his fathers home when
the dogs found him. He was arrested
and taken to Cullman where he was
placed in jail
These bloodhounds of Mr. Boggs have
the reputation of being the purest blood
and best trained dogs in this portion of
the country. They have caught a num-
Der of criminals in the past few months.

We Paid 100000


For the American rights to Liquo-
zone, after hundreds of tests had been
made with 1t. After its power had been
demonstrated, again and again, in the
most difficult germ diseases. Then we
spent, In two years, more than ten
times that sum to let others test 1t at
our expense. The result is that mil
lions of people, scattered everywhere,
have shared in the benefits of this In
vention.
We make the same offer to you. We
ask you to prove, at our cost, how
much this product means to you. Let
Liquozone itself show how wrong 1t Ia
to suffer from a trouble that 1t cures.
Germ Diseases.
Most of our sickness has, in late
years, been traced to germ attacks.
The list of known germ diseases now
numbers about one hundred.
Some germs-as in skin troubles
directly attack the tissues. Some create
toxins. causing such troubles as Rheu-
matism, Blood Poison. Kidney Disease
and nerve weakness. Some destroy
vital organs, as in Consumption. Some
like the germs of Catarrh-create
Inflammation; some cause indigestion.
Directly or Indirectly, nearly every
serious ailment is germ result. Such
diseases call for Liquozone-not drugs,
which can't kill germs.
Every germ attack. no matter what
its symptoms, calls for a germicide.
The mildness of Liquozone makes some
of It's results seem almost incredible.
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1906-03-04
What LiquOzOne Is

The virtues of Liquozone are de-
rived solely from gases, by process
requiring large apparatus, and from
to ii days time. No alcohol, no
narcotics are in it. Chemists of the
highest class direct the making. The
result is to obtain from these harmless
gases a powerful tonic-germicide.
The great value Of Liquozone lies in
the fact that 1t Is deadly to germs, yet
harmless to you. Germs are OF veget'
able origin; and this gas-made product,
when absorbed by them, stops their
activities. We publish an offer of $1,000
for disease germ that 1t cannot kill.
But to the body Liquozone is exhilarat-
ing, vitalizing, purifying. It is helpful
in the extreme.
That is its main distinction. Com
mon germicides are poisons when
taken internally. That is why medi-
cine proves so nearly helpless in a
germ disease. Liquozone is a tonic.

or LiquozOne is Best Told OF by Test

The actual results of Liquozone-
there is nothing else so convincing.
This product is SO new, and its effects
So unusual. that one can scarcely be-
lieve what 1t does till he tries 1t.
That is why we ask you 10 try
Liuuozone-try 1t at our expense. You
have tried to cure germ trouoles-aii
people have-with remedies wnlcn
don't kill germs. We ask you to try one
that does. See how quick the results
are. Note how different they are from
the results of common drugs.
