What Liquozone Is

The virtues of Liquozone ARE de-
rived solely from gases, by a process
requiring large apparatus, and from
to Ia days time. No alcohol, no
narcotics are in it. Chemists of the
highest class direct the making. The
results is to obtain from these harm
less 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 veg
etable origin; and this gas-made prod
uct., when absorbed by them. stops
their activities. We publish an offer
of $1,000 for a disease germ that 1t
cannot kill. But to the body Liquo-
zone is exhilarating, vitalizing purify
ing. II is helpful in the extreme.
That is its main distinction Com
mon gerrnicides are poisons when
taken internally. That Is why medi-
cine proves so nearly helpless in a
! germ disease. Liouozone Is a tonic.

Coal Trust Criticized.

Some of the politicians of Wall street
are saying that the anthracite coal trust
is suicldally short sighted in not coming
To peaceable and prompt terms with the
miners The burden of their plea is that
it is poor time for a display of arrogant
power on the part of rich combinations
and that to lock horns with an army of
wage-earners would add fuel to the fires
of unrest, discomfort and class prejudice
already burning too brightly for the COM
fort of the entrenched interests. They see
material in the existing situation for a
political and social explosion of the first
magnitude and argue that the stronger
the coal trust is the more cash and coal
1t may have and the more oppressive or
unrelenting its methods for the suppress
sion of strike, the worse 1t will be in
the end for the barons. The argument
is advanced that under the terms of the
truce entered into three years ago. the
trust has realized on that settlement an
additional profit of IS cents per ton for
the miners on every ton produced in that
time, the average price to consumers hav-
ing been arbitrarily marked up 81 per
ton, and that such being the case the
trust will be placed on the defensive If
1t goes to an extreme in refusing larger
share to labor. Expressed in the con-
crete. the trust by reason of the truce
referred to, is $4,000, 600 ahead ON direct
ket price of coal road shares mot less
than $3.50, O0O000) while the workmen re-
ceived approximately $40, 1000 600 in the
form of increased wages The politicians
voice the idea that trust turbulence now
will be strengthening the hands of the
radical element and assisting powerfully
in the upbullding of a Hearst party, in
comparison with which the Bryan party
may be as nursing baby to a raging
lion. These fearsome forebodings have
seemingly not produced much of an inn
preston on the coal barons and bankers,
but they are stirring up the spectators,
contributing to an important sense to the
liquidation of long stocks and to the Hood
of short selling of coalers. of late a dis

how best we can profit from their ex-

TO have a disc CussiOn of social political
