harmful product from the apparatus can
be found in the sterilized water. The
great advantage of ozone as a purifier is
that it adds to the water only oxygen

rmon Corral, the vice president of
Mexico, to run with him again.
Gen. Bernardo Reyes was so pop
ular that clubs and societies
sprang up everywhere to advance
his nomination for the vice presi-
dency, but Corral had previously
worked hand IN glove with Diaz,
and therefore Reyes mysteriously
withdrew, though the article de-
clares that a word from him
would have produced the most
powerful revolution in 80 years.
Today Reyes is in Europe on a
government mission which pre-
|sumably takes him out of the vice
presidential campaign. Reyes is
popular because he has always
opposed the government ring and
the exploitation of the country.
He has been practically exiled
from Mexico.
A few weeks ago Celso S. Cor
|tez, an officer of Reyist club,
was imprisoned for saying that
the reelection of Corral would
be dishonorable to Mexico. In
spite of Reyes absence the cam
paign for his nomination goes on.
