Springfield, His, March l4.-There
was less than a quorum present In the

most interesting part Of the session be.

on appropriations. reported resolu-
ton which directs the state architect
to make plans and specifications of the
various buildings for which appropria.
lions have been asked, In order that es.
Inmates OF their cost may be made.
Thinks the RESOLUTION ridiculous.
Bundy arose to question OF 5infor
nation and said: Il think this resolu.
ton is ridiculous. The law defines the
duty of this architect and a law is
usually pretty effective. 1 imagine
that his architect will pay about as
much attention to this resolution as he
appears to have paid to the law. I'M
derstand he has been constituting this
law so as to draw Il lot of additional
fees. The only way to fix the
present incumbent of this office Is eth.
er to prohibit the auditor from paying
him any money other than his salary
or TO impeach him.
Sherman got the floor and went
into a discussion which occurred
before the appropriations COM
mittee Thursday, and reiter-
ated charges made by him at that time
on the question of Illegal fees He also
attacked the state board of charities
for passing a resolution under which
the fees were authorized. He accused

Kills Inside Germs.

Any drug that kills germs is poison
to you, and it cannot be taken internally.
Liquozone is the only way known to kill
germs in the body. 1t is carried by the
blood to every cell of every tissue, and
no germ can live where it goes.
Yet Liquozone is simply liquifed
oxygen-just the vital part of air. 1t is

Germ Diseases.

These are some of the known germ dis
eases. The cause of these troubles is
germs, and germs only; and these germs
must be killed before the trouble is cured.
Medicine sometimes cures these trou-
bles by helping Nature to overcome the
germs, but the results are indirect and
uncertain. Lifuozone always kills the
germs, and the results are direct and
sure. The best physicians and the 1arg-
est hospitals now employ Liquozone-
not medicife-for germ troubles.

Wine prepares a woman for a speedy

Wine of Cardui, in reinforcing the

was Among the can.e. of the Bloody

Tragedy In Scrvin's Capital.
One OF the contributing causes, and
perhaps the greatest, to the revolution
In Servia, in which King Alexander
and Queen Draga persisted, was Lieu
tenant Colonel Nicodem Lunjcvics. one
Of the Queens younger brothers.
When Draga, who had been lady in
waiting to Alexander's mother, ex-
Queen Natalie. became Queen, one of
her first actions was to send Modem
to Paris to round oft his education
and obtain knowledge of French mil
itary methods. She had formed q
great design for the young man. her
ambition being in the event that there
would be no issue to her marriage to
Alexander, to set him upon the Ser
Wan throne. Possessing an unbounded
influence over King Alexander, Draga
had no difficulty in making him look
upon her scheme favorably, and in the
designs Of the royal couple. Nicodem,
who had not drop of royal blood In
his veins. was selected us heir to the
throne.
When Modem returned to Belgrade
from Paris he staggered about the
streets as though his succession to the
throne was already settled. and re-
fused to salute his superior officers, on
