given almost as much emphasis as the b
street front, the principal difference beingg
that the columns of the B street front are
replaced here by pilasters. The two other
fronts are without either columns pilas-
tiers, and have been Intentionally kept very
simple in treatment.
The finish of the court facades has not
been determined. They will be either en-
tirely of stone will have stone in the
lower stories and light brick above.
The construction of the building has al
ready commenced. The general excavation
has been entirely completed, ard by the
10Th of March work will be commenced on
the concreted footings. Estimates stone
work for the entire superstructure are to
be received March 10, and by the time the
first stone is delivered the walls will be
ready to receive it, and by the time all the
walls are leveled up to the basement floor
line the contract for the steel work will be
let. By proceeding in this manner the
building will be ready for occupancy at
least eighteen months earlier than would
be the case should no work be commenced
until the drawings were entirely finished
and one contract let for the entire construc-
ton. The building will be of masonry con-
struction, as distinguished from the 'skeI-
eton' type of construction. The only steel
work used is for the floor beams, all Of
which rest on the walls of solid masonry.
All floors and partitions will be fireproof.
In Charge of Superintendent Woods.
The making of all the drawings and the
erection of the building is under the per-
sonal supervision of Mr.. Elliott Woods,
perintendent of the United States Capitol.
He has associated with him on the House
office building as consulting architect or
architectural adviser Mr.. Thomas Hastings

The process OF making takes IA days. and requires
immense apparatus. At the end Of two weeks, We

product has, for more than twenty years, been the
constant subject Of scientific and chemical re-

The main resalt is, to get into liquid, and
thus into the blood, a powerful, yet harmless

Kills Inside Germs.

The greatest value of Liquozone lies in the fact
that 1t Kills germs in the body without killing the
tissu ;. too And knows another way to
it cannot be taken internally. For that reason
medicine Is almost helpless in any germ disease.
Liquozone is a germicide certain that pub
germ that it cannot kill. Yet it is not only harm

else in the world for you. No is well that
be cannot be helped by it.

When we purchased the rights to Lquozone the
great problem how to let the sick know its
power. For years we had watched it cure diseases
which medicine could not cure. We had proved
that in germ troubles its results were almost in
evitable. We were using 1t daily in our own homes
as preventive of sickness, and we knew that
every home should have 1t.
II every nelghborhood, all America, there
was sickness which nothing but Liquozone could
cure. There was everywhere suffering which I.quo-
zone alone could stop. And thousands were dying
whom Liquozone could save. What was the right
way-the best way-to quickly let those sick ones
know it?
We decided to buy the first bottle and give it
free to every sick one we learned of. And pub
lished this offer in $500 papers The result is that
millions know Liquozone almost as well as we do.
And half the people you meet, wherever you are,
know some one whom Liquozone has cured

cross and banneret stands meekly on the
Book of the Law, all resting on a fertile
green isle in the blue Caribbean sea. over
the lamb, in an azure sky, are the world
famed crowned initials of Ferdinand and
Isabella, and still higher are the bow and
arrows of the erstwhile hostile Caribs-an

and the spread of the church.
The new arms typify the new Porto Rico
and her hopes. At the top of a golden
shield appear the red, white and blue of
the American Union. On this shield, from
an agle-surmounted scepter, spring the
coffee and tobacco which yield the islands
great revenues. Porto Rico, green and fer

Grounds Surrounding Fish
Ponds to Be Improved.
CHANGES PROPOSED
RESERVATION TO BE GIVEN
PRETTY LANDSCAPE EFFECT.
Part of the White House Grounds and
in Plain View of the Presi-
dents Home.

1t is proposed to convert the picturesque
park which surrounds the government fish
ponds, south of the White House, into
minia turc Eden during the coming spring.
Some of the plans for the Improvement OF
the reservation have been placed in the
hands of Superintendent c. X. Green by
the chief of the bureau of fisheries, Mr..
George NJ Bowers, and the preparatory
work is now in progress.
The ponds or small lakes with their pretty
surroundings are in reality part of the
magnificent White House grounds, and can
be seen from the south windows of the
Presidents mansion. For this reason Pres
ident Roosevelt is said to be taking per-
sonal interest in the improvements that are
under way.
When Superintendent Green was seen by
Star reporter today in his office, over
looking the stretch of ponds, he said that
a part of the Identification contemplated
is the erection of a substantial and orna-
mental iron fence along the 18th street
side of the Enclosure, with a large gate for
the entrance of visitors from that side, to
keep pace with the proposed improvements
of Potomac Park, which is contiguous.
1T will be the policy of the fish commits

ington fish ponds as picturesque and
trancing as any other spot in the District
of Columbia. and when the plans are car
ried into effect. as they Will De, the GROUNDS

and the citizens of Washington
Landscape Scene Proposed.
The old guardhouse and other ancient
structures which formerly stood in the CEN
ter of the Enclosure have been RACED to make
way for the landscape scheme, which will
include flower beds in fanciful design, with
their many-colored buds and blooms. shrub
berry. trees and greenswards. In the midst
of this scene of beauty will be fountains
spraying water high into the summer air,
and perhaps laJticed arbors. In the sur
rounding pools and ponds goldfish and silver
fish will disport themselves in the sunlight,
while in the larger lakes the snappy bass
and crappie will dart hither and thither in
