PENSIONS GO ABROAD.
Veterans all Over the World on Uncle
 Sam's List.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-Col. s. l.. NVulson, the local United States pen sion agent, is now receiving the vouch- eers from Germany which were illegal 2y executed. They were sworn to be- Sare the local magistrates when they sShould have been executed before an samtsrichter or a consular officer. He is returning to the pensioners their sold vouchers, accompanied by a new voucher and a circular letter explain ing to them the recent decision of the commissioner of pensions regarding their execution. Of the whole number of vouchers received from Germany Col. Wilson estimates that three fourths of them will have to be re- executed.
 In speaking with reporter Col. Wilson presented many interesting facts in regard to Uinted States pen -sioners living abroad. It appears that all the foreign pensioners of this gov eernment are paid through the agency at Washington. Their total number is 3,781, and they are paid each year $5S2, ,7S5.38, by checks, on the United States treasury.
 It is rather remarkable fact that in some parts of the world these checks are at a premium. The reason is that they are generally understood to be payable in gold, if demanded and as such they pass at the rate of gold coin. Every three months these checks are mailed at the agency here. They go to all parts of the world.
 
 scattered all over the earth, and now they draw their pensions in Algiers and the South African republics, in Switzerland and Tahiti, in Portugal and Peru, in Mexico and Mauritius, in Belgium and Honduras, in Finland and in Egypt. In all there are pen sioners in siXty-two countries outside the United States
 The pensioners in foreign lands are more expense to the agency than those i'll this country for the reason that on all the checks and vouchers sent to them. with the exception of those in Canada and Mexico, the agency has to pay postage. In these two countries the government frank carries all the letters the same as in the United States, but to all others the foreign postage rate is paid, so that postage is a considerable item in dealing with 4this class of pensioners.
 In this country, if a letter is over weight, the difference only is required but in Germany a double rate is charged as penalty, so the depart ment is careful to pay in full. All vouchers and checks are necessarily made out in English, as are usually all instructions and papers. But sometimes, in dealing with German pensioners, the documents are sent in the language Of their country.
 There was a law passed some years ago to the effect that when pensionel went to a foreign country his pension should be stopped unless he swore that he was only travelling abroad and had no intention of residing there per manently. But this did not stay long on the statute books. For about two years the foreign pensions were held np, but when the law was repealed and payments were resumed. the pen sioners received their back pensions in a lump sum.

NONE BUT AYERS AT THE
 WORLDS FAIR.
NONE

Ayers Sarsaparilla enjoys the ex- traordinary distinction of having been the only blood purifier allowed an ex- hibit at the Worlds Fair, Chicago. Manufacturers of other sarsaparillas sought by every means to obtain a showing of their goods, but they were all turned away under the application of the rule forbidding the entry of patent medicines and nostrums. The decision of the Worlds Fair authori- ties in favor of Ayers Sarsaparilla was in effect as follows: Ayers Sarsapa- rilla is not a patent medicine. It does not belong to the list of nostrums. It is here on it's merits"
 Nine reasons why Ayers Sarsaparil- la should be taken in preference to any other blood purifier: 1st The drugs from which it is made are the most carefully selected. 2d. They are i combined in such scientific propor- tions that they may always be depend ed upon for successful results. Sd. It is a concentrated extract, only small doses being required. 4th. It is perfect ly safe, either for young or old. 5th. It acts upon the blood more speedily than any other blood purifier. 9th. It cures disease by removing the conditions which make sickness possible, and therefore cures permanently. 7th. This remedy has a well-known scientific value and it's formula is familiar to scientific men. Sth. It has been before the public for half century. Drug gists and physicians recommend it and employ it in their practice. 9th It was the only Sarsaparilla admitted at the worlds fair. It stands first. It leads all other blood purifiers Be sure your druggist sells you Ayers Sarsaparilla. It cures others, and will cure you.

No household which is blessed with children should be without Ayers Cherry Pectoral. In the treatment of croup and whooping cough the Pectoral has an almost magical effect. It al lays inflammation, frees the obstruct- ed air passages, and controls the de- sire to cough.

Never let cough run on from day to day. It indicates either infiamma- tion or irritation, which, if allowed to continue, may result in serious injury to the lungs. A few doses of Aver s Cherry Pectoral cures any pulmonary complaint not entirely beyond the reach of medicine.

Mr.. Miller at first regarded the whole thing
as a joke, but on telephoning to other persons
