Warning Against Marriage Was to Be Part of Paternal Instruction.

Mrs. Daisy K. Prosser was granted @ decree of divorce from Charles Warren Prosser in the St. Charles Circuit Court Saturday. The decree was granted by Judge Barnett on the wife's cross-bill. In handing down his decision, the judge said that Mrs. the custody of the three children be- eause her husband has no settled in- une or place of abode.”’ Prosser lives at the Southern Hotel in St. Louis. Besides the custody of the children, Mis. krosser is: to have the home on Kuugs highway in St. Charles, and is to @.eusne $1200 in notes which she signed jU.uuuiy with her husband. 4he ciilldren are Charles W. Jr., 12 ayy 01a; icathleen, 6, and Richard Her- ert, 2. A At triday’s session of the trial a let- ter was read which Mrs. Prosser said she found in per husband’s pocket. She testified that he said it was from Pearl McCulloch, a former student of Linden- woou College. The letter, although not abounding in sentiment, contained a sei- tence Saying that this was because the Writer had been warned to aviod senti- rental expressions. It contined refer- ences to plans for future meetings. The reading of the letter divided inter- est with Mrs. Prosser’s testimony re- gaiding Proasser's plans for thé education of their son, Charles Warren Jr. She saii Prosser told her he intended to show his son the world, beginning when he should be 21 years old, and that he would teach him ‘‘not to marry, but to sip of each flower he finds. She said her husband neglected her at a Washington’ birthday — social, while he flirted all evening with a pret- ty Lindenwood College student. She re- roached him for forgetting her and evoting himself to another woman. “‘It is the way of socety,’’ she said he ex- plained. Mrs. Prosser told of meeting her hus- d while she was a college girl at rian, Mich., of their mariage at Newcomerstown, O., 14 years ago, and their removal to St. Charles. - Without suggestion from counsel, she plunged into the recital of their do- mestic troubles and carried it through to their final separation. 7~ =e Most Generous Man. “My husband had the reputation of being the most extravagant and gener- ous man in St. Charles,”’ she said. salary, $300 a month, was supplemented by money given me by my father in Ohio.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. FORT WORTH, Tex., March 23.~Bill Thomason, the gambler who shot and killed Jeff D. McLean, County Attor- ney, and probably fatally wounded Ha- mil Scott, a deputy, while they were making a raid on Thomason's gambling establishment yesterday afternoon. is Still alive this morning, though the phy- siclans report hourly that he can live but a few hours. The mob, which surrounded the. City Jail as soon as Thomason was placed in it after being shot by two _ police- men, thinned out after midnight, when it was announced that Thomason could not live until daylight. Heavily guard- ed, the gambler was removed to the County. Jail, a half-mile away, where there are better hospital facilities. These evident preparations to save the life of the gambler seemed in contra- diction of the stories that he cannot live and there is this morning a_ be- lief that his condition was largely ex- aggeratedg, so as to prevent action by the infuriated mob, which surrounded the City Jail. For the present, how- ever, there is no danger of that sort. Daylight found the town quiet as ever, but trouble may occur if it is found tonight that Thomason's condition is very much better. Hamil Scott, the deputy who wag wounded while fol- lowing his chief's assassin, is in a very dangerous condition, and, until an op- eration is performed later in the day, it will be impossible to tell how serious his injuries are. He is paralyzed from the breast fown. Expected No Trouble. The raid, which resulted so tragically, Was one the quietest of the many in which McLean’ has ‘participated. That McLean did met expect any trouble is shown by the fact that his wife, whom he married less than a year ago, ac- companied him and while the parapher- nalia was being loaded into a big mov- ing van, sat in a carriage a few yards away, waiting to -take her husband home. The gamblers offered no resistance to the invasion of the officers and _ the spectacular features of such a raid were lacking. When Thomason walked up to McLean on the sidewalk the bystanders expected no trouble. A few words passed between them and then the gambler pulled his gun, with his one good arm, fired one shot in the attorney’s throat, killing him almost instantly. He ran a few yards, Hamil Scott, the deputy,

Delmas take charge of his case and follow such a course _as he deems best in presenting it to the jury. The de- fense considers this letter strong proof that Thaw is capable of advising his lawyers. The circumstances under which the letter was written are said to have been these: The second day of the defense, which was shortly after the trial began, it almost broke down owing to District Attroney Jerome's savage onslaughts upon its first medical witness, Dr. Wiley. Differences ensued among Thaw’'s law'vers and it was reported at the time that Mr. Delmas told Thaw that if the then confused state of his defense lasted he would not be re- file with the clerk with affidavits, a Delmas’ Affidavit. from the Tombs, making him his lead- lawyer, Mr. panied the letter tqday with an af- fidavit by himself that his client is well able to consult his counsel and that he has done so daily since the trial began. Messrs. MHartridge, Gleason, McPike, Peabédy and O'Reilly submitted sim- ilar affidavits: The two last named will set forth that they have sat beside Thaw in the courtroom every trial day and that they have visited him often in the Tombs and that on all occasions he has been capable of forming sane judg- ment as to the conduct of his case and expressing them. All the alienists for the defense ofter affidavits in kind. One of them has made an examination of Thaw as late as since last Wednesday, and his conclusions embodied in this fidavit. Among the alienists’ vits are is one by Dr. George Shiels, who has not testified = in — but has sat with Thaw during the rial. To further strengthen their contention that the prisoner is sane and compe- tent, counsel will file a series of notes and memoranda written by Thaw to them during the trial.

MEMBERS RENOMINATED

E. M. Grossman and W. Palmer Clarkson Fill Vacancies on Ballot. Garneau and Edward J. O'Neill, Democratic candidates for the School Board, met Saturday afternoon in the office of former Judge O'Neill tvyan and signed an agreement to with- draw fro mthe Democratic ticket. The Democratic City Central Committee will name in their places E. M. Gross- man and W. Palmer Clarkson, the pres- ent Democratic members of the board. Chairman Howe of the Republican City Committee has accepted Grossman and Clarkson, and will put their names on the Republican teket. The office of the Board of Election Commissioners remained open beyond the usual hour Saturday to record the wthdrawals and substitutions on both tickets. The board met Saturday morning and refused to reconsider its action in put- ting the name of A. L. Abbott on the Republican ballot instead of O'Neill. Six members of the Democratic com- mittee appeared before the commission- ers to protest against the authorization of Abbott as a candidate. Attorney Joseph W. Jamison represented the committee at teh hearing. The Democratic committee Friday threatened to seek an injunction to pre- vent the placing of Abbott’s name on the Reublican ballots, but decided not to do so. Members of the committee also talked of refusing to place the names of Rob- ert Moore and C. W. Johnson, Repub- lican candidates for the School Board, on the Democratic ticket. This was proposedw as a measure of retaliation for the action of Chairman Howe and the Republican committee in objecting to O'Neill. This plan also was abandoned, and the board was notified that the Democratic committee would place Moore and Johnson on their ticket. This was soon followed by the agreement by which Garneau and O'Neill withdrew. The trouble over the nomination by the Democrats of O'Neill. The Repub- licans refused to place him on their ticket, although accepting Garneau. The Democratic committee refused to change the ticket, and O'Neill refused, until Saturday, to withdraw. The objection to O'Neill was based on his political activity. LANTERN NEAR GASOLINE. Grocer’s Clerk Burned and Houses Are Charred.

3-CENT FARE BILL. Delayed by Unfavorable Report From Council Committee. The 3-cent car fare bill, introduced by President Forman of the Council was laid over for two meetings Friday aft- ernoon and, it is thought, practically killed as there are only two mare meetings before final adjournment. Councilmen Rolfes and Linde, repre- senting a majority of the Railroad Committee, explained that they had been unable to get an opinion from the City Counselor as to the validity of such an ordinance. The City Counselor told the commit- tee he would have to go over all of the franchises heretofore granted to street railways to see if the bill would be legal.

He said that at the time he shot Dr. Meredith, the latter was advanc- ing toward him with uplifted medicine case, and that he shot fn order to pro- tect his life. Thus he added the plea of self-defense to that of the unwrit- ten law. The balance of the witnesses for the defense were character witnesses, four in number, who claimed that the doc- tors reputation among women was bad. The prosecution showed a contradiction of this pointy Dr. Meredith's Dying Statement. Dr. Meredith's statement foliows: “I, 8. D.

This question is. be- fore the Supreme Court In connection with: a suit brought by several citizens to restrain the city from selling the bords and making a tax levy to meet the interest on them. _ The Site Committee was composed or Councilmen Lesser, Rolfes and Moell- _ jman and elegates Simmons, Connvil and Heffernan. They had been at work ‘on the seleetion of a site nearly two months, and at their direction engineers made borings at Chouteau avenue, Mul- lanphy street and Cass avenue to deter- mine the depth of bed rock At those *points. - According to the report it was found that conditions fot the sinking of shore piers were better at Chouteau avenue than at any other proposed site, and that the municipal bridge can be built there more cheaply than elsewhere. }Accompanying the reports are reports Of several engineers who were asked to ane estimates as to the probable cost | S a combined wagon and railroad ridge. Estimates Low Enough. The cost of the bridge, as authorized by the popular bond issue vote, is to be not more than $3,500,000, including the. purchase of property for ap- proaches on both sides of the river. Though the report says that the com- mittee is convinced that the bridge can be built within the prescribed cost, none Sor the estimates submitted contain any item as‘to the cost of condemning and buying property for approaches and terminal yards. They are the estimates of engineers who cae figured only; the actual cost of building. They range from $2,727,000 to $4,520,000. The estimate submitted by Ralph odjeska “is $3,016,236. He figured on ns for a three-span cantilever bridge. fe says that the piers would cost a i the superstructure $1,322,528, yest approaches $569,700, and east ap- hes $519,632. Modjeska built the bes bridge. gineer Cary Gayler is the only one the experts who includes in his re- ‘t an estimate for a one-span canti- r bridge. He points out that the Government may require a bridge of + al to prevent obstruction of the channel and interference with naviga- t His estimate for such a bridge is the same as that which he makes for a etal gaee bridge, $4,520,000. The chief ms are: Piers, $1,060,000; superstruc- ture, $1,550,000; west approach, $875,000. The other engineers state that a one- bridge would be more expensive han one of the three-span cantilever eonstruction, and that cost of maintain- ing would be greater.

In its present form as passed by the Council it is not acceptable. In substance the amendments should be as follows: (1) A clause providing that no arbitrary charge shall ever be made on freight or passenger traffic transported over any bridge constructed or acquired by or controlled by the railway. (2) A Clause providing that after a reasonable term of years—say 25—the city shall have the right to acquire the railway Property by paying its cost with interest. These amendments are in harmony with publis opinion, with the best municipal practice in grant- _ ing franchises, and would mark a most beneficial advancement for the City of St. Louis. The prohibition of an arbitrary charge would, in the event of the building or acquiring of a bridge by the Manufacturers’ Railway, forever abolish all arbitrary charges on Mississippi River bridges in this city, if the arbitrary were not previously abol- -Tailroads or through the influence of the : free ‘bridge. Should arbitrary charges be abol- ished before the Manufacturers” Railway shall build a bridge, the provision would not affect that proj- The amendment giving the city the right to ac- quire the property after a reasonable term of years is in accord with progressive franchise legislation, and would guarantee the city against the sale of the property to anv monopoly. If within the period of 25 years or so the city shallMhave progressed to the point of owning its own terminals, this pro- vision would enable St. Louis to acquire the prop- erty and control its operation, if it does not want to operate it. : Adolphus Busch and August Busch, who are at the head of this great railway project for the de- velopment of South and Southwest St. Louis, have With an aside of one-fifth of ‘a mill of the city revenue, its value would be vastly increased.

The statement of Director Ives of the St. Louis Art Museum that two St. Louisans had practically guaranteed the raising of the $950,000 necessary to build and equip the Hall of Architecture if the annual income for the museum is voted at the approaching city election, emphasizes the impor- tance of assuring the success of this measure.

OOO retrtene PHILOSOPHY FROM IRONTON, The signed .statement issued by ex-Senator Bur- ton of Kansas on his release from the Ironton Jail explains the philosophy he has reached during his retirement. It is so elevated that perhaps it is much easier for an active and really able mind to think it out in jail than to live up to it afterwards. Perhaps Senator Burton may do 80, however. He ought to have all possible encouragement in the attempt. When he reasons the operation of everything, right and wrong, in American politics down to what seems to him the final cause, it is that “bad pol- icies make bad men and bad government, while true policies make good men and good government.” This is a discovery worth making and Senator Burton will have enough to do if he spends the rest of his life, as he says he intends doing, in oppos- ing bad policies, without regard to men. Beyond this, there will be enough for everyone else to do in Kansas and out of it. For if bad policies make bad men, bad men make policies bad and force the worst results from even the best pol- icies. If Senator Burton lives wholly up to the level of the philosophy of politics announced from Iron- ton, he may hereafter reach a point where he may do much in an inconspicuous way to help the work of those who rely for results on good men and good policies, and, at the last resort, on good prin- ciples regardless of policy.

A serious defect of criminal law is shown when a fine and brief imprisonment are imposed by the court at Union, Mo., in the case of two St. Louis youths concerned in the killing of two men in that county. The evidence showed no malice in the case and purposeless killing in a moment of frenzy, shown by the evidence to be one of the low degrees of manslaughter, the law treats lightly. It is not a question, however, of inflicting pain or penalty on a criminal, but of protecting the pub- lic. Whether criminal or not, the person who, with- out malice, is liable to the sudden frenzy which results in homicide in “heat of passion” or merely as a result of excitement, is the person who of all other man-slayers is most dangerous to the public. There is no sudden cure for a moral disease of this kind. The object of criminal law ought to be to cure it if possible; or, if, not, to protect the public from it at any rate. At least the public ought to be protected from cases of access to dead- ly weapons on the part of such irresponsible per- sons. The weighing of the soul of a California murderer on the gallows will draw additional attention to him. There is nobody in the public eye so much as a man who is to be hanged, and the soul-weighing feature added to capital punishment will make him more conspicuous and interesting than ever. a a, ae SUMMER LIGHTNING The unseasonably hot weather, usually culmina- ting in electrical displays, makes two articles on electric pranks played by human beings, in the Sunday Pos.-Dispatch, timely and interesting. One of these articles, in the Post-lispatch M_ga- zine of March 10, told what Nikola Tesla, who has acquired a reputation as an electrical wizard, is planning. The other article, which will appear in the coming Sunday Post-Dispatch Magazine, dis- cusses the very remarkable electrical experiments recently performed in a St. Louis theater by anoth- er “wizard!” This man lights his cigar with a spark from the tip of his finger, puts out an elec- tric lamp with a wave of his hand, and declares that the electrical tension which he passes through his body without injury measures as high as 75,000 volts. The two articles easily prove to the average reader that he khows little or nothing of electricity. For example, Tesla says that a man subjected to the rapidly alternating pressure of an electrical oscillator of two and a half million volts “pre- sents a sight marvelous and unforgettable. One sees the experimenter standing on a big sheet of fierce, blinding flame, .his whole body enveloped in a mass of phosphorescent cloud. From his ears, nose, and hair issue irridescent wriggling stream- ers like the tentacles of an octopus. Bundles of light stick out from his spine. As he stretches out the arms, thus forcing the electric fluid out- wardly, roaring tongues of fire leap from his finger tips.” But how is this? Two thousand volts, half million volts merely give him a saintly halo with a playful corruscation of weird-looking fire- works. It’s all in the oscillator. And what is an oscil- lator? Simply a machine that cuts and reverses the current so swiftly that it is subdivided into @ > yeaa or millions of tiny and comparatively harmless waves of energy.

I think, however, it is better with 5-cent fares ‘and transfers, as at pre- sent, than two $-cent fares. For Brides. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Marriage is a serious thing. Many wives forget that there is a “for worse’’ clause in the ceremony. The first year of married life is conceded to be the most difficult to endure. Therefore, pa- tience, love and endurance are n in large measures. Keep your troubles to yourself while they are molehills. Don’t rush off to mother or some “dear friend.”” Get busy; don’t board; don't pine for the unattainable; be optimistic; | practice economy and your time will come. Silence is golden! It takes two to make a quarrel .When he comes home be so sweet,.so clean and bright that he will always breathe a sigh of content upon entering. A restful per- son is the most charming companion in the world. Do not gossip. Money mat- ters seem to be the bone of contention among a great many young couples.

The historic conmiet of 144 appeared in 1531, 1607, 1682, 158 an in 1835. Its mean period of utlo is 75% years. The orbits of most comets ot are beyond comprehension. The fart? est from the sun that Halley's comet f allowed to play is only a Jittle matts 3,321,000,000 miles, while Erick’s ¢ goes only 212,000,000 miles away from th sun.

That comets contain very little ma ter seems quite clear. It is sald — comet passed between the earth #7 the moon in 1454, eclipsing ft, but mak- ing no change in its motion, or earth's.

Just how much terror was created by the comet which appeared 48 years be- fore the birth of Christ is not known, but as the Romans believed it to be the metamorphosed soul of Caesar, slain by Brutus in an election row not long before, all who have read his commen- taries can form a fair estimate of the fear engendered. But history records mi- nutely the widespread alarm when the comet of 1456 made its appearance, and the daily prediction was that it would destroy the earth. Pope Calixtus III ordered that the Ave Maria be repeated three times a day, instead of two, and to the prayer was added: “Lord save us from the Devil, the Turk and the Comet,”” which trio was daily excom- municated till the harmless comet had rounded the sun and gone away into space, leaving the world as it found it. The comet of 1680, with a tail 96,000,000 miles long, did not excite 80 much alarm, as history recalled that of 1456 and science had robbed the monsters of their awfulness to a great extent. Yet the comet of 1856 was in this coun- try largely regarded as the flery har- binger of war, and the war of the Re- bellion, coming five years later, to the superstitious, confirmed the idea.

Baxter was signed with Indianapolis, but atter Watkins had secured Carr's signature to a contract he agreed to release him it “the advance money was returned. This Haxter failed to do and when Watkins heard that McCloskey wanted him, he balked and demanded a bit besides. The Qffair was amicably arranged in St. Louis between Stanley Robison and Wat- Kins, and Baxter signed a contract yesterday. Aside from the above, nothing Of interest happened in the Cardinal Gamp.

SPORT ERRATICS

LONG WALK WILL. BE TAKEN IN Mit Richard Beile and “Cowboy” Smith Agree on Cross- Country ‘Hike.’

ARE OLD-TIME WALKERS ‘A cross-country walking match be- tween Richard C. Beile and William “Cowboy” Smith, from St. Louis to the Jamestown Exposition, starting early in May, is what is likely to result from the recent statements issued by both in which they announced themselves ready to walk for any prize, against anybody, for any distance at any time. The one was not the more magnanimous than the other and after both had conferred with the sporting editor of the Post- Dispatch it seems to be agreed that the long ‘‘hike’’ will be undertaken, $ Richard Beile is 39 years of age and Smith has reached the forty-second year. Both are old-timers in pedestri- ‘anism. Beile started training when he was only a small boy, at the time when Dan O'Leary was doing stunts at the Washington Hall in St. 1883. Both Smith and Belle have par- ticipated in hundreds of matches of ey- ery sort. Beile’s longest walk was from St. Louis to New York City in 1895, He made the trip in 43 days, starting from St. Louis on the seventh day of April and arriving in New York May 20. Law Restricts Contest, The proposed contest between Smith and Blele will be restricted to 12 hours per day, as laws recently eee pro- hibit a greater number of hours being taken up in 24 In a race of any kind. Biele says that if Smith does not want to make the Jamestown trip he will match him for a walk to Texas or any other place Smith may name. While this match will undoubtedly ex- cite a great amount of interest in the almost defunct sport of pedestrianism, the game is practically dead and buried. But the match calls to mind the time when famous walkers competed 24 hours a dey and six days a week instead of the limited 72 hours a wetk. But the game reached its zenith a few years ago and now it has almost altogether de- clined. Six-day pedestrianism was once very opular. Pithe names of : O'Leary, Weston, Hughes, Albert. Campana, Guerrero, Vine, Vint, Cavanaugh and others were household words in America % years ARDY. Fine often wonders what has become of tre old-timers of the tanbark. Dan O'Leary, known as the father of walking, is traveling in the South for a big publishing house. He is past & years of age, and although he made at jeast $60,000 In matches he has none of his fortune left. In one match alone O'Leary and Old Bport Campana got $17.0 each out of the event for their share. ‘Lepper’ Hughes runs a saloon at Westchester, near New York City, and has a son Who isa walker also.

The rooms have perfect light from three sides; prominent en- trance on Seventh street; only 75 feet from Washington avenue —thus convenient to the whole- sale trade, and in the heart of the new retail district.

Frightened at Undemocratic Reception, Leaps From Fourth Story Window. FALL DOESN’T HURT HIM —_—_—_ -_—- Lopes Away, Wiser as to Atti- tude Toward the Lowly in High Places. A small dog who has nothing to be proud of in the way of a pedigree and who doesn’t growl, but only feels hurt when human beings call him “a cur,’ is wandering somewhere around St. Louis with a bruised body and a changed 1dea about American democracy. Mriday afternoon this dog saunteredd over to the City Hall. As he approacaed the great building his gait snowed con- fiacnce. To anyone who knows iuny-

thins about dogs this plainly i- licated ty at the dog was thinking that in the City Hall, where the lowest citizen of all was welcome, he would hn cord aliy we. comed. The dog walked slowly up the Market Street steps, restraining himself by an apparent effort from turning his head fuitively from side to side after ike niaiiner Of curs. In through the. wide doors he went. Then his heart went up into his throat with a jump as he saw the form of Patrolman Lee in the main cor.:iaor. The little cur could have tured and run, but he didn’t. Still Ke2pog his d gnified stride, he went on, a mest a slance out of the corner of his eye for ne policeman. Lee started towards tne dog. Then the little cur forgot everything, except that he was a cur. His gait changed instinctively to the siinking movement of his kind, and he uarted past the policeman. The door to one ofr the elevator cages was open. The terr!- fied animal probably thought this led to the street and freedom. He 1ushed by the elevator boy. A minute later the door of th? cage was closed and the trapped cur found himself going up. At the fourth floor the door was opened long enough ior ae to dart between the elevator boy's CZs, There were several men coming uw the corridor. In a spirit of fun they ipiead themselves across the path of the fugi- tive, but the dog without a pedigree saw no humor in the situation, and with a wild bark of terror tried to dodge into an open doorway. Here more human beings were standing by high tables— he was in the drafting department—and his terror increased. There was a big hole in the _ wall, through which he could see blue sky and the city. With a dodge or two he evad- ed the men and the next instant was on the window sill. He tried to turn back, but lost his balance and plunged out. The men in the room rushed to the window. They saw the twirling body land on a soft spot of ground and get slowly to its feet. The dog took one backward look at the undemocratic City Hall and then. was off on a sidelong gallop as fast as a dog could go. ‘hs HE PAID $200 TO PREVENT STRIKE Employer Sues for Money He Charges Walking Dele- gates Got From Him. Employer and two walking delegates are pitted against each other in Judge Shields’ eourt, where the case of Wil- liam Burke against Frank C. Fay and Charles Dalton is on trial. Burke is a plumber, in business at 1811 Pine street. Fay is business agent of Gasfitters’ Union No. 8 and Dalton was, until re- cently, business agent of Plumbers’ Un- ion No. 35. Burke is trying to get back from them $200 which he says he paid them under duress. According to his story, told on the witness stand, the men came to him and demanded $200, which represented, they said, the expenses of making an investigation of his ‘‘fairness.’’ He de- murred, and they told him that if he did not pay the money his employes would be called off. He asked time to consider and then told them that he had decided not to give them the money. His men were called off and his work was tied up for three days. The business agents, he says, told him that the men would be ordered back if he paid the *™ He gave in and paid the money, and the rmen returned to work. Dalton and Fay were indicted on the charge of xetortion, but the indictments were quashed by Judge Moore of the Court of Criminal Correction on the ground that the correct offense was not charged. This matter is now before the Court of Appeals. BUSINESS NOTICES. a satin skin, secured using 25c.

Donnelly, a traveling sales- man of Decatur, Ill., who is stopping at the Planters, was arraigned in the City Hall Police Court Saturday on complaint of Mary Towers, 14 years old, of 1803 Locust street. On motion of Donnelly's attorney, Judge Tracy continued the case till March 29, Donnelly was arrested Friday after- noon at Broadway and Washington avenue. A policeman was attracted by the screams of the girl, who was with her mother, Mrs. Ellen Towers. Mary said that Donnelly had patted her on the back and tnsulted her, Donnelly hurried away as the ‘po- liceman approached, but was caught. The girl and her mother identified him. They went with Donnélly and the policeman to the station and pre- ferred charges of disturbing the peace against him. Donnelly at first told the police that his name was James Cummins and that he was un- married. Later he said he was 30 years old and married. He said that he jostled the girl accidentally.

What Liquozone Is. Liquozone is a tonic-germicide, the virtues of which are derived solely from oxide gases. No alcohol, no nar- cotic, nothing but gas enters into it. The process of making requires large apparatus, and consumes 14 days’ ay The object is to so combine the gases with a liquid as to carry their virtues into the system. The result is a germicide so certain that we publish with every bottle an offer of $1000 for a disease germ that Liquozone cannot kill. It destroys them because germs are of vegetable origin.
