E THE OMAHA' SUNDAY REE: MARCH 14, 1000. Activities and Views of Progressive Women in Various Walks of Life A lloneevrnrk of the fa (a re. MENAGE, carrying Joyful antici pation and real comfort to corns Is offered by Mrs. Ellen 11. fUcharda of the Mnnwhui etts Boh ixi 1 of Technology t tha housekeepers of today and "Chops of the future will com outcfiera through a pneumatlo tomorrow, from the tube," ahe told a group of eager listeners in me New York Teachers' college. "We hall have a receptacle traveling through the air like the little thing that brings your change n the store, and when you press a button It will bring more bread or deposit a soup plate before each one. Tou laugh, and yet you are advanced students if household economics. Tou find nothing funny In such an Invention In a tore, but It provokea your mirth to think of It utilised In the home. If any mine, factory or store were run with the loss of time, strength and labor found in the noma It would go out of business." Mra. Richards then traced vary Interest ingly the course of events whloh has trans ferred tha work cf women to the fac tory. ' "Tha result of taking Industries out of tha home," she said, "Is that nothing has been left but the drudgery, the dirty, heavy, unskilled labor; the washing of pots and kettles, the scrubbing of floors. Any woman would feel pride In a beautiful web of linen, spun and woven by her own hands. It Is a finished, created thing; a thing to show one's friends; a thing to last for years, and always will be a re minder of her skill and Industry. On the other hind, nobody can fuel pride In wash ing a lot of dishes, which are going to be dirtied apaln at the next meal; In scrub bing a floor which will be tracked up In five minutes Inter; In cooking a meal which half an hour later will be gone. The only work left to woman In tha houira is this sort of work which is never done, which Is perpetually recurring. In which she never has the feeling of anything permanent ac complished. It Is peculiar, the effect this kitchen work has on Intelligent, trained women colleg graduates, perhaps, or women who had done competent work In the business world. I have known such women to begin housekeeping full of pride and seal. One year later they shut tha kitchen door as tightly as possible and shunned all dlsoustdon of Its problems. The things seemed horrible to them. They kept It out of their thoughts as much as pos sible. "Now, this condition Is steadily growing worse Instead of better. When man begin to moke the cloth he still left the making Of the cloth Into garments an equally great branch of manufacture In the home. But that is steadily leaving the homo also Women are charged to make the clothes for their families. Who would wear them If they did? What man would wear clothes made by his wife? The little boy will wear them as long as he Is at home, but when the home-made boy, and he comes home crylne; and won't wear the trousers mother made uny longer. "The home of the future will be a neat, compact place, containing no more room than cn be adequately kept up In good shape. We demand the shop stamp; we he gets into school at the age of 8 it Is all over. The little ready-made boys Jeer at demand neatness, style. To get them wa have got tp, sacrifice unnecessary space. This home will be ventilated In some way so that we will not need to open windows. It Is the window, open for ventilation, which admits the dust and coal smuts which create eternal cleaning. There will be apparatus which will wash and sift every particle of air admitted to the house, so thst It Is all pure and clean, and this air will be either warmed or cooled to tha exact degree desirable. There will be no more difficulty in cooling the house of the future In summer than In heating it In winter. This huse of the future will be lilted throughout with electrlo contriv ances. We shall cook and warm ourselves with electricity as unthinkingly as wa now light the house with it. All the work, also, will be done by little electrlo machines, woiked by the pressure of a finger. The houue will be cleaned by a ltttlo cleaner, cheap enough for every family In ordinary circumstances to havei "Now, to cieate this state of affairs women have got to demand It. A great many of these Inventions exist today. But thti call for them Is so slight that It doesn't jay to put them on the market. There Is In women a oeep seated fear of anything new. We have got to get rid of that typs of women before we can have the modern, up-to-date, twentieth century home. My hepe is In the rising generation. I don't hope much of tin old housewives. They were traliwd to ba afraid of everything new." I Tnur Olrl suffragette. Miss Ines Mllholland of London. Eng land, now a senior in Vaeuar college, ap peared at a meeting In Columbus insti tute In roughkeepsle Sunday afternoon and vigorously defended the methods of tha suffragettes In England, with whom she was arrested two years ago for ob structing a meeting, but allowed to de part In order to be In time to take up her studies at Vasear. "There are two camps of women favor ing suffrage In England," said tha young student. "One Is composed of euf fragises, the other of suffragettes. The first have been for sixty years 'acting real ladylike. Just asking for women's rights, the latter demanded and propose to get those rights. "They complain of the vtolenoe of tha suffragettes In England," went on Miss Mllholland. "But even men have never won much for freedom, or from govern ment, without fighting for it. They have used the boycott, the gun, the sword, violence of all kinds. If we borrow man's methods, and use them. It Is be cause the men refuse to do us Justice. A member of Parliament once said to me, 'Tou women have a good cause and you are going about It In a ladylike way; but you can never win unless you throw a bomb or two.' ''Well, that Is Just what the men have done when suffering under Injustice. Why is It so terrible If women adopt th methods by which men have attained liberty, .when all other methods fall so utterly to achieve It? The women of England have simply announced that no government, liberal or tory, shall be per mitted to proceed until women shall re ceive the ballot. "We English women believe In going Into politics because wa know we shall elevate politics when we begin to vote, as wa elevated literature when wa be gan to writ, the stage when we began to act, the church when we began to take part In Its work. Bo long as tha Injustice' of one class ruling another Is kept up, so long will tha suffragettes keep up the fight, even If we have to do soma very unladylike things In order to win. Ridicule us and we smile, put us In Jail and we are received with demon strations when we come out. a fine ad vertisement of our causa all along the Una." Miss Mllholland Is the leading actress In the hall plays at Vassar. It was she who led a party of young women Into a cemetery near the college grounds to ihold a suffrage meeting last June. When she Is graduated next June aha expects to return to England and throw herself into the fight Mra. Roosevelt. The press has had little to say about the woman who left the White House to re turn to her home on Long Island, says the Charleston News and Courier, and we can think of nothing that would create a stronger presumption than this silence that she is a good and gracious woman. In this American democracy there ts no reason for the wife of the president to Illustrate other characteristics than those which any modest gentlewoman should have, but there Is a constantly Increasing snobbishness In the land that would make of her a public character. Only a woman of tact and good sense In the White House can save herself from being continuously advertised, and It is easy to Imagine that the wife of the retiring president has had no easy task In avoiding officious persons who would have dragged her constantly be fore the public In one way or another. Mr. Theodore Roosevelt has been the most spectacular of all presidents; waking and sleeping (a full page picture in an Illustra ted weekly of the president sleeping will be recalled) Mr. Roosevelt's every sound and motion have been repeated or displayed and several of the members of his family have shared the publicity to which he has been exposed; but tha American public has heard no more of Mrs. Theodora Roosevelt than It hears of any woman content with the privacy of an American household. We may with safety go further and say that In keeping herself In the background ths wife of tha president has succeeded to a degree that betokens her possession of ex traordinary refinement and common sense. Whatever may be said for or against tha administration of Mr. Roosevelt, Mrs. Roosevelt's administration of the White House affairs has been Ideally correct, and the proof of It Is that tha gaping crowd knows little more about her now than It knew before her husband became president of tha United States. This woman has set a very valuable ex ample; her life In the White House recalls to the American people their traditionally wholesome view of what a wife and mother should be, and so she carries with her to good wishes of everybody. True to Her Ideal. Miss Mabel Boardman society woman and philanthropist, ts said to be one of the hardest workers In the government offices, her efforts In behalf of the American Na tional Red Cross society taking up a great part of her time. The humblest clerk Is not more punctual than Miss Boardman, who Is st her desk In the War department at I o'clock every morning. She wears a trim office dress and works alt morning, walking from her home to the office and returning at lunch time. Bha often' works In the afternoon and she does this six days In the week and nine months In the year. She receives no salary for her work as secretary of the organisation, but she works harder than most others connected with the work. Gardenias; a Beast y Aid. Gardening, the real kind, that Is done out of doors. Is the newest beauty cult. Many physicians say It Is the best thing In the world for woman's loveliness. Women who have adopted gardening as a pastime soon find It lends grace td tha figure. Is bene ficial to the health and of necessity Im proves the complexion. Besides this, the freedom of short skirts appeals to them, and they delight In gardening In the same way that nice, clean, well-bivught-up children revel In mud pies. Gardening, to those of their grandmothers who Indulged In It In their delicate muslin gowns, meant tha dilettante crossing of a rose or the ty ing up of a few rebellious flowers that trailed their blooms on the pathway. But the present race of women mean something much more strenuous by the same torm. They dig and weed, or do something else that Is necessary In the garden, scorning to call In the assistance of a man for any part of the work. "More women are Interested In garden ing than ever before,' said a seed mer chant recently. "Thousands of them around New Tork are Impatient for the planting season to begin. Not a few of the old fashioned blooms still are favorites. A popular border for a small garden Is the hardy little blue lobelia, which Is pictur esque In effect mixed with white alysaum. Tha sweet pea probably Is the most popular flower grown In the open. There are many varieties. MInonette seed, too, has a great sale; so has. cornflower. Roses are culti vated, generally In the suburbs, as they are little trouble to grow. Various kinds of snapdragon are loved by gardeners; hyacinth flowered candytuft and the sum mer chrysanthemum also are extremely popular, while love-in-a-mist Is a charm ing flower that never goes out of favor." Revival of Old Silverware. Tha old family silver, which a few years ago was banished from the dinner table. Is now resuming Its honored plsce. The teapot and candlestick, the epergens and compotlers, and even the soup tureen, have been taken from tha plate chest, bur nished up and placed upon the buffet 80, In the modern New Tork hotel, the costly old silver and their equally valuable mod ern replica are to be had as "a matter of course." At the Knickerbocker chickens are served In casseroles of solid silver and fruit In baskets of silver wlckerwork. The ordinary cutlery used at Sherry's, the Knickerbocker, the Astnr. the i'lasa and the Waldorf Is the same for the private dinner room as the restaurant, but for special occasions the gold service Is brought Into requisition and the price of the dinner Increases accordingly. The St. Regis has gold enough to serve thirty-six persons, the Knickerbocker hag a gold ser vice for sixty persons knives, forks, but ter spreads, etc. valued at $10,000. The Belmont has a complete gold service for 100 persons, which Is used for all private dinners which cost flj or upward for each person. Three or four such dinners are held nearly every evening at the Belmont during the season, but the gold Bet li large enough to accommodate all. Woraaa as a Wireless Chief. Anna A. Nevlns, 22 years old, has taken active charge of the station of the United Wireless Telegraph company on the roof of the Waldorf-Astoria hotel. New Tork. She holds the distinction of being the only woman wireless operator in the world, and she Is believed to be one of the most skill ful In. the service of the company by which she Is employed. The young woman will be on duty regu larly every day for eight hours. She has been detailed to the busiest period of tho day, and at present her chief work will be to keep In touch with vessels plying be tween this port and southern points. Many wireless messages are sent out by passen gers on these vessels, the majority of whom are bound south for the Florida season or else to Cuba or other parts of the West Indies. Miss Nevlns, it was told, flashes mes sages through the air to her sweetheart, who Is the wireless operator aboard the steamship Oceana of the Hamburg-American line. She has picked up the Oceana at 1,000 miles, the record for the Waldorf Astoria sending station. She has several times flashed messages to her sweetheart at that distance, and has carried on a lengthy aerial conversation with him at a distance of 800 miles. This ts believed to be the second In long-distance talks in which Cupid has had a hand. The young woman operator wears the uniform, cap and coat of the service. She has altered the lines of the coat, giving It a femlnlno cut, while preserving Its strictly service appearance. The cap also has been slightly altered, giving it a smarter look, and It also differs from the regular cap of the company In that It is held in place by a hatpin. Miss Nevlns I:' an expert In wireless instruments, and wa. selected for the post partly by reason o! her practical knowledge of the system sh operates. 1 Leaves from Fashion's Notebook. Sunshades are as gay 'as the hats, and of the flat, Japanese shape. Evening gowns show very little that Is new, unless It be that the latest models all hnve lower waistlines and fuller skirts round the feet. The dlreetolre coat Is by no means out, and braid la still the favored trimming on the new spring models, which have Urge revers cf either ottoman silk or satin. It ts worth nothing that collars are get ting higher and higher, and some dress makers across the sea are even fixing on them little hooks of pink silk wire to slip round the ear. Despite all the rumors of a revolution In dress and the tentative offering of full skirts on some of the new models, mist leading modistes cling to the long, scant costumes that have prevailed all winter. One of the really delightful revivals, it a mode that so recently rose and fell may be called a revival, is the sleeveless coat It was originally intended that this manner of coat should be worn all winter with w A Badge of Honesty Is printed on the outer wrapper of every bottle of i1" Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription I a a a a a see M 1 . m w sF .ti and it is the only medicine tor woman s peculiar ailments.

It's foolish and often dangerous to experiment with new or but slightly tested medicines sometimes urged upon the afflicted as "just as good" or better than "Favorite Prescription." The dishonest dealer sometimes insists that he knows what the proffered substitute is made of, but you don't and it is decidedly for your interest that you should know what you are taking into your stomach and system ex pecting it to act as a curative.

I the last few seasons, and yet. matters pertaining; to children's dress, these hats have in creased In childishness as well as In plcturesqusness. One sees very few ' overtrlmmed absurdities In children's mil linery and a majority of the little bonnet and hat models suggest a quatnt sim plicity even when their daintiness Is of a very expensive variety. The mushroom hat with narrow or wide brim and simple trimming has been one of the most satisfactory child models of the last year, furnishing protection for eyes and face, and at the same time fram ing the little face effectively. The shaps Is not to be discarded, though It will not reign alone, and drooping brims appear upon most of the hats Intended for chil dren past the bonnet stage. But first a word as to those bonnets. Never were more bewitching little crea tions of lingerie and of tine straw braids offered for the very small girls. They are comparatively small, these bonnets. The old) large crowned, wide brimmed af fairs which made even the prettiest of baby girls look topheavy have made way for smaller, snugger shapes in better pro portion to the small heads which will wear them, and, though there may be a frill or flare around the face for finish, this Is merely wide enough to ba becoming and make a soft fluffy frame. Many of the prettiest lingerie bonnets have a plaited frill of fins lace next the face, but over this fulls a plain trill If one may call that a frill which is shaped but not really fulled. This plain brim Is of finest lingerie material exquisitely embroid ered and with an edge of little hand-embroidered scallops. The crown may be shirred and corded: or draped ot the lingerie material, or perhaps It, too, shows hand embroidery In Its cen ter. Knots and ties of soft pink or blue liberty ribbon are the trimming, and some times little clusters of babyish flowers are added, pink tipped English daisies, tiny roses, forget-me-nots, or fine pink and white hawthorne blossoms. Straw bonnets are made of the finest lacy braids, soft enough to be handled like lacs Itself, and follow much ths same lines as the lingerie bonnet, with a very moderate flaring brim, under which U softening lace or chiffon, among whose folds tiny flowers may or may not be tucked. Flowers almost invariably appear somewhere upon these straw bonnets, but they may be among the ribbon or at the head of the ribbon ties over the ears. One delightful model had a crown formed of dull finish white braid loosely plaited or Interwoven, and around the face was a fringed ruche ot soft white chiffon taffeta. Tiny pink rosebuds were set along ths renter of the niche at Intervals, the fluffy fullness almost concealing tbem and a cluster of the pink rosebuds headed each of the ties. Inside the silk ruche, next to the face, was a frill of Valenciennes lace. Bonnets made entirely of lace frills and email mushroom hats made la the same way are dainty and becoming for summer wear, and some particularly quaint bonnet models are made up like the one Illus trated here. The close-fitting crowa Is composed of, or rather covered with, over lapping frills of valenclsnncs run ning from side to side, but toward the bottom these frills do not curve in to fol low the head shape, falling Instead straight from the crown of Uie head In curtain fashion. Two or three frills of the lace finish the bonnet around the face and ribbon knots and ties may be supple mented by flower, trimming or not. ac cording to Individual taste. The mushroom hats of overlapping Valen ciennes frills are of course Intended for girls older than those who will wear the bonnets, but some wee models are shown which would not be out of place in associa tion with 5-year-olds. Usually the only trimming upon such a and buttonholed, and bordering the brim and In the crown center ts a fine openwork embroidery design done like the button holingIn white. Pongee has ben used for ?ome little hats built on these same general lines, but Is harlly so childish as the wash stuffs. For girls, a trifle older, there are Innum erable pretty things in straw and lingerie and lace, but the designers are showing a lamentable tendency to Introduce the off shades so popular in millinery for grown ups Into children's millinery too; and even for the schoolgirl who has left bibyishncss behind her, the odd berry and rose and blue and green tones of the fashionable garment do not seem to have the proper childish note. Much prettier and more becoming are the ecru and burnt straws trimmed In franker hues; and, fortunately, there are plenty of these. As we have said, the mushroom shapes, scarf trimmed are popular and many models with bowl shaped crowns and brims thst while drooping, are ullghtly y, enveloping furs, but the Idea did not ap peal. It Is promised for this spring and summer with much assurance, and Indica tions point to Its success. Hats with hardly any brims and ' high crowns ornamented with flowers and leaves, which remind one of a Dutch gar den In their set and precise arrangement, are to be met with on all sides, as are the black tulle and Jelled large toques, some of which have two long and sharply pointed quills made of emerald green sequins dart ing out of a "boquet" of tulle or plumage. Josephine hats are also on view; Indeed, the variety of styles is exceptionally great this spring. Now comes the cry that panters are com ing In, which would mean that the days of exaggerated slendernesa and hlplessness are numbered. Panniers and pointed bod Ices may evolve Into a style as attractive as our own direotolre, but we can hardly imagine it at this stage. The pointed bodices are already making their Influence felt, and there are evident suggestions of the panniers In many of the new arrivals. Perhaps the most interesting, If not the most important, feature of fashions Just now Is the trtirmii gs and color manipula tion. Both are designed to be most effec tive without btlng In any way aggressive. Beautiful, even brilliant pinks, greens, blues and yellows are used, but there Is a brown ish cast over them that subdues and makes them generally becoming. While there is a leaning toward the monochrome effects ths new shades are also cleverly combined. What Women Are Doing;. Miss Rhea Whitehead of Seattle, has Just been made deputy prosecuting attorney for Kings county, Washington. Bhs is sn honor graduate of the law school of the University of Washington In the class of MHiS. When Mrs. Bva Galllson of Hancock Point, In the state of Maine, caught a large henhawk "forty-two Inches from tip to tip" making trouble in her poultry yard, she Just threw her apron over the ma rauder's hend and made him a prisoner. Miss Floretta Vlning of Boston, Mass., the only woman who Is the exclusive owner of a chain of newspapers, Is In Washing ton. Miss Vlning does not show the weight of her responsibilities, and Is above all else a wotiinrly woman, and In appearance de cidedly attractive. There are a great many fine old women passing from the stago of life Just now, among them being Mrs. Emily P. Collins, 96 years rid. of Atlantic, Mass. She organ lard the first women suffrage association. Just sixty-one years ago. She was a nurse durinr the civil war. and at the age of 70 took entire charge of the Hartford Ex aminer during the absence of the editor, and her friends say some of the best num bers of that Journal were issued while she was to charge. Mrs. Aubrey le Blond, who has climbed many mountains, says that a climb of many hours becomes no more fatiguing than a hard game of tennis. "Only a short time ago the mother of one of our mem bers, who Is nearer 80 than 70, did an ex pedition of 14 or :5 hours in the snow with out turning a hair." Mrs. GayVord Wllshlre Is the president of the Woman's National Progressive league, which among other things declares. Its Intention of creating a new literature for children with a view to fostering in children the view of human solidarity. The first book is to be written by John Bpargo. Miss Jesnette Lee, the writer of bonks for young people, Is a teacher of English literature at Hmlth college. She sye she talks very little to her pupils. She prefers to make them think and get them to do the talking. Bha has Just eomplnted a story, "Simeon Tetlow's Shadow," that will be imbllshed In one of the prominent maga clnc s. Dr. Mary Merritt Crawford ts only 25 years old, but she has been made house surgeon, which means chief of staff In the Williamsburg hospital at Brooklyn. ho will be head of staff of seven men s.nd will hold the position for one year. She Is the first woman to hold such an Im portant position. Elisabeth Chesser, writing of the women In prison In England, says that skilled workers are seldom among them. It Is generally the woman without a trade or an educations that gets Into trouble, anj it does not sbem right, she says, that a girl arrested for a first offense should be obltsred to associate with hardened crimin als. The nobility of labor and the grandeur of work are the things that an Ideal sys tem of prison training will endeavor to teach. Fashions la Men's Wear. 8ome handkerchiefs have long slim monograms embroidered on them which are six Inches long. ' A new cane ts being manufactured hav ing a diminutive auriphone In the handle. This Is an extremely convenient and unobtrusive-form of ear-trumpet," which will be appreciated bv fleaf men who contem plate visiting public ga'herings where there Is to be "speechifying" of any kind. Flannel shirts of material having narrow satin stripes crossing it at stated Intervals are made up with bosoms having a numlier of box pleats on either side fit the front opening. White flannel waistcoats of all kinds are being shown now in the majority of the furnishing shops. Plain white, striped snd fancy patterns axe being offered, mostly single breasted. A new shirt Is mads of green madras having a basket weave. It is of a very light green snd has a dark, green stripe on the edge of tha oenter pleat and also on the edges of the cuffs. There Is a tendency In the spring coats to get away from the straight front that has been so popular for some time past, and the sack coots of the moment are slightly cut away In front. Lw cut, two eyelet Oxford ties f gray suede are among the latent showings In one of the smrt shoeshops. It remains to-be seen if footgear of this kfnd wilt ever be worn In town, but one can Imeglne comfortable shos of this character being entirely suitable for wear at the bench or in the fashionable country resorts. A new, silver-trimmed umbrella handle has a small celluloid nsree plate set In the silver band and over It slides a piece of the same metal In grooves. When lowered Into position an all-silver effect Is given. It may be a personal satisfaction to have one's name on one's umbrella but It Is doubtful if It will deter ths wily borrower. Never at any time have the socks for day dress been more elaborate. They are black, of course, and of rich silk weaves, but even when Intended for wear with boots Instead of low shoes, have striking designs In either white stripes or white figured patterns. Blnok silk ribbed socks are popular now for wear with evening dress. The man who has much desk work to do and whose trousers, as a consequence, are always out of shape and In need of pressing, will he Interested In a new In vention that has anrmared recently by which trousers ma v he creased while they are being worn. This device has already made Its appearance In some of the metro politan cities where a chap, If he so de sired, moy now have his trousers croasad as often as he has his shoes shined. Home of the soring scarfs are exceedingly narrow. If nc slim shoulderlees models such as were w-rn by a few men last summer, but which will pmbsblv be mere univer sally In vrKue this spring. As the ten dency Is toward the narrower scarf It Is now possible to get the most wonderful bargains In high class cravats which have a derided shoulder and which.

Fanchlld's Magsilne. hat ts an effu sive bow of soft ribbon, posed on on ths left stde, but a French hat of this type in tended for a child of or T years had a soft scarf of pale blue rib bon folded about It under one of the frills. At the left side and a little toward the back this scarf was caught by a small wreath of pink and- white hawthorne and fell In loops and ends over the brim. Of the be be hats In lingerie, linen and pique, with fall or e o r J e d crowns and frill brims, there Is nothing new to say, though, of course, details vary, and some of the models are made exquisitely fine and dainty with hand work. They are always charm ing for summer, and ths plainer models ot linen or pique, with embroidered scal lop borders and crowns buttoning on the brim, ars still among ths prettiest snd most practical of summer play hats, though by no means new. Boms attractive models In this class are of blue or ping linen, embroidered In white, the edges of brim and crown are scalloped HATS OF BTRAW AND LACE FOR LITTLE GIRLS. Irregular Instead of having ths mushroom severity are shown. Ribbon of one kind or another is the prettiest trimming for these, and in the way this ribbon is handled Ites the success or failure of the hat. Tying a smart bow Is a ticklish buslnesa The browns appear Insistently In child millinery as in child coats, and some good effects are obtained with the beautiful double faced soft satin ribbons which show two shades of one color et Us Pay For a Dottle of Liquocide. and Give it to Vou to Try There Is nothing to buy not a penny to pay. We will buy the first bottle It you will try It snd learn what Ltquoclde means to you. Countless people have done that during the past seven years. Borne were dis couraged and hopeless, believing that help was Impossible. To many the fact seemed too good to be true. But they let the product Itself prove its power. Then they told the results to others, and the others told' others, until millions of people, all the world over, have shared In the bene fits of this invention. What LiquocHe Is Liquocide Is a tonlc-germlclde, the vir tues of which are derived solely from oxide gases. No alcohol, no narcotlq, nothing but gas enters into It. The pro cess of making requires large apparatus, and consumes 14 days' time. The object Is to so combine ths gases with a liquid as to carry their virtues Into the system. Ths result Is a germicide so certain thst we publish with every bottle an offer of (1,000 for a disease germ that Liquocide cannot kill. It destruyj tnem because germs are of vegetable origin.
