diseases have been shown to result from the
presence of bacteria or germs Compound oxy-
gen is rich In ozone and is, therefore, revital

A great many people wonder why on earth Dan Maloney ever selected the Opera house as a place for hold ing his wedding on Monday January 27s more especially those who are aware of the fact that the intended brides parents strongly object to the union. Maloney gives as his reason that he has an untold num- Der of friends, a large majority of whom he expects to attend, conse- quently he has secured the Opera house on account of the capacity and location, as he expects everybody to make merry and laugh loud as they choose; as he will exert himself to make each and every one enjoy them- selves that evening sure.
