That the Pension Office is in state

promulgated order announcing that all
veterans of the civil war shall receive
pensions at the age of siXty-two, is
shown by recent disagreements between
Commissioner Ware and Deputy Com

cisions made by the Commissioner rela-
tive to pension claims and the reversal
of these reversals by Assistant Secretary

bunals. The trouble involves Mr.. Ware

The allotment was made by the Board
of Ordnance and Fortihcauons, on the
ground that a solution of the problem
would be Of military value.
At the last session of the board. the
personnel OF which has entirely changed
since the original allotment to Prof.
Langley, 1t was decided that it would
not be profitable to eXpend any more
of the departments funds for that pur-
pose.
All of Prof Langley's work has been
inspected by an army officer, who repta-
sented the Board of Ordnance and For
ti6catioD. The criticism OF the board
bv members Of Congress for giving the
money to Pref Langley is responsible
for its failure TO make an additional
allowance to him. IL was feared that
granting more funds to Prof. Langley
might result in the cdrtailment by Con-
gress of the experimentation fund.

We publish this offer in every great
newspaper in America. The cost OF
the offer, we expect, viii reach $780,
600. We pay that price because IL
seems the only way to quickly let the
sick know what Liquozone does.
The greatest value OF Liquozone lies
in the fact that it kills germs in the
body without killing the tissues, too.
And no man knows another way to do
it. Any drug that kills germs is a
poison, and il cannot be taken in
ternally. Every physician knows that
medicine is almost helpless in any
germ disease.
Liquozone does in germ troubles
what all the drugs, all the skill in the
world. cannot do without il. IL cures
diseases which medicine never cures.
