BRIGADIER'S STRAPS
FOR COLONEL MILLS
Superintendent of Military Academy
Promoted by Recess Appointment.
Opposition to Be Met.

Col. Albert L. Mills. superintendent OF
the Military Academy, was advanced to-
day to the rank of a brigadier general.
The failure of the Senate TO confirm
Captain Mills appointment did not pro-
vent President Roosevelt from ad-
vancing the officer by recess appoint
ment. 1t IS believed, before Congress
reconvenes the President will be able
TO overcome its opposition to the per-
manent advancement OF the West Point
commandment
The vacancy in the grade of captain
caused by the advancement of Colonel
Mills. who has the rank of colonel while
serving al the Academy, but is in reality
only a captain in the First Cavalry, was

What LJQuozone Is.

Liquozone is the result of a process
which. for more than 20 years, has been
the constant subject Of scientific and
chemical research. Its virtues are de-
rived solely from gas-largely oxygen
gas-by a process requiring immense APP
paratus and Il days time Each cubic
inch of Liquozone represents the virtues
of ], $50 cubic inches Of the gas.
The result IS a product which does
what oxygen does. Oxygen is the nerve
food. the blood food, the scavenger of
the blood. 1t Is the very source OF
vitality, the most essential element
OF life. But oxygen is gas, and
unstable; while I.iquozOne is fixed
and concentrated. It gets an excess OF
oxygen virtues into the blood. 10 go
wherever the blood goes. The result is
a Vftalizing tonic with which no other
known product can compare.
