Liquid Oxygen.

Liquozone is simply liquid oxygen-no
drugs, no alcohol in it. 1t is the dis
covery Of PAUL., the great German chem
list, who spent 20 years on it. His object
was TO get such an excess Of oxygen in
staple form into the blood that no germ
could live in any membrane or tissue.
Liquozone does that. We spend "a
days in making each bottle Of it, but the
result is a gcrmicide so certain that we
publish on every bottle an offer of $40
for disease germ that it cannot kill.

TOO MUCH COST
GOVERNMEN" OBJECTS TIC
CHANGING THE CHANNEL
UP THE RIVER.

The secretary of war, in his report,
submitted to congress day or two
ago, reports against attempting to
change the channel of the Ohio river
up about Elizabethtown, ILL.,, to get it
over against the Illinois shore. A Pc
tition was filed asking that . survey
be made at that point, and the secre-
tary states that the channel is divided
by Hurricane island, the through chan
mel being between the island and the
Kentucky shore. The proposed i'm
provement oontemplates the closing of
the channel and opening . new chan
mel between the island and the Illinois
shore in front of Elizabethtown. The
secretary states that the improvement
is not desirable as the local commerce
of the town is so limited that the ex-
pense of creating q channel would not
be warranted.
1t is understood that the cost of the
improvement would be about $50. 900.

GOVERNORS VETO roo LATE.
So Attorney.Cenerai King OF Connecticut
says Of the Norwalk Neasu


HARTFORD. Conn, April 22.-In compli-
ance with a request made last week by
the Senate, Attorney-t'enera King sent to
that body to-day an opinion regarding the
Legality Of the veto Of the joint resolution
dividing the town of Norwalk which the
Governor sent TO the House on last Wednes-
day.
After the House had voted to sustain the
veto the question OF the validity OF the
veto was raised, the point being whether
the three days which the Constitution gives
the Governor for the consideration Of a
bill means calendar days or Legislative
days. If the former, the Governor would
have lost his opportunity TO veto the bill
in question,
A resolution 10 obtain the opinion Of the
Attorney General was offered In the House
and rejected. and the vote sustaining the
veto was not disturbed That was sup
posed to have killed the bin. but the Senate
decided to ask for the Attorney Generals
opinion. Mr.. King says 1t is clear that
calendar days are intended by the Ian
g,iage OF the Constitution. and that the
veto Of the Governor came too late. He
adds, however, that as custom has sane
toned the Interpretation adopted by the
Governor, II is probable that the Supreme
Court would sust ain him
1t ia not thought that the opinion OF the
Acknowledgement will change the situation
in any way, as the action Of the House In
sustaining the veto ends the matter and
the opinion OF the Attorney General has
only sentimental value.
