and South St.F Liquozone cmd Give paratus and 14 days' time, these gases are made part ot tne liquid product. The result is a product that does what oxygen does; and oxygen is the very source of vitality, the most essen tial element of life. The effects of Liquozone are exhilarating, vitalizing, purifying. Yet it is a germicide so cer tain that we publish on every bottle an offer ef for a disease germ that it cannot kill. The reason is that germs are vegetables: and Liquozone like an excess of oxygen is deadly to vegetable matter.

1 hat is why Liquozone kills every disease germ, and with a product which to the human body" is life. Germ Diseases. These are the 'known germ diseases. All that medicine fan do for these troubles is to help Nature overcome the germs, and such results are indirect and uncertain. Liquozone kills the germs, wherever they are, and the results are inevitable.

By destroying the cause of the trouble, it invariably ends the disease, and forever. asthma A baoeae A DMlIk BltKMl Potion Bright' tiireaK.

Bottle of Liquozone is the "only war known td kill germs in the body without killing tne tissues, too. it is the only way to end the cause of any germ disease.

It is also a vitalizing tonic with which no other known product can comrare. It is new in America, and millions who need it don't know of it. For that reason, we make this remarkable offer. We will buy the first bottle and give it to you if you need it. We will do this gladly to let the product itself show you what it can do.

IV Paid $100,000 For tne American rights to Liquo- tone the highest price ever paid for similar rights on any scientific discovery. We did this after testing the product for two years, through physi cians and hospitals, in this country and others. We paid it because Liquozone does what all the skill in the world cannot do without it. Any drug that kills perms is a poison, and it cannot be taken internally. Every physician knows that medicine is almost helpless in any germ disease.

Not Medicine. Liquozone is the result of a process which, for more than 20 years, has been the constant subject of scientific and chemical research. Its virtues are derived solely from gas, made in large part from the best oxygen producers. By a process requiring immense ap- Bulgarian Amazon Volunteers. Odessa, March 18.

The senate in executive session confirmed the nomination of Leonard Wood as a major general In the regular army. The Tote to 16. The confirmation of General Wood's nomination ends one of the bitterest fights ever waged by senators against the confirmation of a nomination by the president. General Wood was a surgeon In the army with the rank of captain when the war with Spain broke out. He was appointed by President McKlnley colonel of the First MAJOR GE.VEHAL WOOD.

volunteer cavalry (the rough riders). It is understood that the appointment was at the request of Mr. Roosevelt, then assistant secretary of the navy, who became lieutenant colonel of the regiment. After the battle of Guantanaino Wood was promoted to the rank of brigadier general of volunteers, and Roosevelt succeeded him as colonel of, the rough riders. Subsequently General Wootl was made a major general of volunteers and governor of the province of Santiago.

this position he was advanced to the office of governor general of Cuba. He was made a brigadier general in the regular army by President McKinley. Great Opposition to Promotion. Last spring President Roosevelt promoted General Wood to the rank of major general in the regular army. This promotion aroused great opposition In the army and in congress because of Its seeming Injustice to the 400 or more officers of the regular army over whose head General Wood had been advanced since the beginning of the Spanish war.

An investigation was ordered by the senate. About that time General Wood was sent to the Philippines as military governor of the province of Mindanao, which position he now holds. The senatorial investigation was long, and the fight before the committee was very bitter. It was led by Senator Hanna, a member of the committee. Charges of the gravest nature were ULUUUI.

When the special session of the senate adjourned last fall, to be succeeded immediately by the regular session, President Roosevelt sent General Wood's uame again to the senate, raising the mooted question of the "infinitesimal Interim." Since the death of Senator Hanna the campaign against General Wood bad waned. Masked Men Wreck Ivory Soap Plant. Kansas City, March 18.

ASKS FOR COPY OF THE ORDER Also For an Estimate of the Inorease It Pension Expenses Which It Entails House Democrats Severely Criticise Mr. Roosevelt's Action. Washington, March IS.

At the be ginning of the session of the senate Mr. Overman offered the following resolution, and It was adopted without discussion: That tho secretary of the Interior be ana he is hereby directed to Inform the senate: First. Whether an order has recently been Issued enlarging the pension act ol June 27, USO, and amendments as to disabilities of applicants for pensions, and il so to send to the senate a copy of said order. Second. By what amount, If any, will Bald order probably Increase pensions annually, particularly when the same shall become fully operative.

President Roosevelt is being severely criticised by Democrats In the house, for having Issued the order which give a service pension to all veterans of the civil war over sixty-two years ol age. Much pressure has been brought to bear on the house by old soldiers foi tho passage of a service pension law. and it was the Intention of the Republicans to pass suck a bill In the house and then permit it to die In the eenate. Sulloway's Estimate Low. The Democrats feel that the president has usurped the powers Of congress.

They hold that the issuance ot this order is but another step in the dangerous policy of "legislation by construction." Some of the Republicans feel that the president is exceeding his authority it doing by executive order through a liberal construction of the pension laws what congress should do by legislation Chairman Sulloway of the committee on pensions does not believe the present service pension scheme will add more than from $3,000,000 to $5,000,000 to the pension rolls, but the estimate of the Democratic members is from $10,000,000 to $20,000,000. Chairman Sulloway believes that the amount turned back into the treasury each year from the pension appropriation bill will be enough to carry out the order. During 1900, 1901 and 1902 more than $5,000,000 was returned because of rejected applications. Congressional Contests Decided. Washington, March 18.
