just Oxygen.

Liquozone is simply liquid oxygen-no
drugs, no alcohol i'll it. 1t is the discovery
of PAUL., the great German chemist, who
spent 40 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.
Oxygen Is life to an anima1-the very
source of vitality. We would die in three
minutes without it. In this liquid form
its effects are exhilarating, purifying,
vitalizing. But germs are vegetables, and
this excess Of oxygen is deadly to vege-
table matter.

As a result of the account in the Age Herald of yesterday morning about the condition of Mrs Mary Hamilton. white woman. who appeared at the office of Mayor Drennen and stated that neither she nor her children had had anything to eat for three days, a donation of s5 was sent during the day by Mrs. T.

 Private Secretary Pepperman will visit Mrs Hamilton today and see the real con- dition of her family, and If it is as bad as has been represented, will give her this $5 and donations which may be sent in.
 At the headquarters of the United Char ities yesterday 1t was stated that the woman had never called there and had never asked for assistance It was also stated at a meeting of the Charities yes terday morning that B. B. Conner of the Avondale cotton mills had reported that there was fund at the mills for the re- lief of any of the employees there, and that this woman had never applied to the mills for assistance.
 Mrs. R. G. Lewis, president of the Char ities, has written the following letter in reply to the statement that the organiza- tion refused to aid Mrs. Hamilton:
 Tn this mornings paper there is an ar ticle headed "Without Food for Nearly Three Days" which stated that needy person, a Mrs. Hamilton, applied to the United Charities for assistance and was refused help because she lived outside of the city limits. Upon inquiry learn that no one of that name or description has applied to the office for help, and while 1t is true that we are required to confine our mnistrations to the city limits, our rules are not so strict but what we would have relieved the sufferlngs of anyone in the distressing condition depicted in this ar ticle
 Moreover understand that the man. agers of the Avondale cotton factory, where this woman and her two sons are said to work, are kind and generous to their operatives, and keep fund on hand just to help the needy ones in distress
 During the short month of February the United Charities have helped sixty seven families and given out a supply of provisions one hundred GOO times; and given away thirty-seven loads of coal. Mrs. W. II. Johnson is in the office of the United Charities every morning, Sundays excepted, until 12 o'clock, to attend to the wants of all deserving applicants. She keeps a careful record of each one. with name and address. We pay a drayman to deliver this coal, and this winter we have had to pay for a good deal of the coal. In connection with the office is a store room, where all staple groceries are kept (the society buying these suppiies), which are literally dispensed to those needing and deserving help"
