she could not be quoted. She talked

Mrs. McDonald's explanation to tho

Statements from Guerin's relatives
seem to place a different light on the
tragedy. They declared that since
Guerin was boy in school, Mrs. Nc
Donald was enamored of him and thai
she continued her attentions even
after he used every influence to break
his relations with her

engaged to marry West Side woman.
This situation was considered sig

It's a Pity


You who lack Liquozone-you don't
know what you miss. And the product
itself can best tell you. We ask you
again-in fairness to yourself, let US
buy you bottle to try.
You who are sick and discouraged
you need it most. You VINO are still
treating germ troubles in the old, in
effective ways. 1t is time that you
know, as millions know, what Liquo-
zone means to you. The results will
surprise you, for nothing could be
more convincing than the way in which
Linuozone deals with a germ attack.

The most difficult thing to keep in

ward. Frequent complaints are re-
ceived from husbands whose wives
have lost heavily. and it is known that
there are five lotteries opening more
or less daily in Singapore which are
almost exclusively supported by mon

something to stop this vice among the
Straits-born women, but it mast be
confessed that its effect in that direc-

What Liquozone is.

Liauozone is a tonic-germicide, the
virtues of which are derived solely
from oxide gases. No alcohol. no n1r-
cotic. nothing but gas enters into 1t.
The process of making requires large
apparatus. and consumes II DAYS
time. The object is to so combine the
gases with liquid as to carry their
virtues into the system.
The result is a germicide SO GER
tain that we publish with every bottle
an offer of $1,000 for a disease germ
that Liquozone cannot kill. 1t des-
troys them because germs are Of veg
etable origin But to the body Liquo-
zone is exhilirating, vitalizing, puri-
tying.
That is its main distinction Com
mon germicides are poisons when Ia
Kan informally. They are imunssibie.

Professor Starr of the University OF

Africa interviewing the pygmies and
asking them when they think they will

a trunkful of photograph records to
prove that the American popular song
is nothing new under the sun.
OF course the African song writers
are handicapped in some respects. fol
they cannot use bad grammar. as their
language does not run much to gram
mar and most anything goes. but the
professor assures us that they can
stay with us on the tune until the cows
come home and the milking is all done
