AIRsHIP FLIGHTS BOTH DAY AND
NIGHT.

One OF the attractions of the coming
state fair at Detroit, Sept. Ord 10 18th,
will be the flights of the great Strobel
airship, which will not only fly about
the fair grounds twice every day, but
will also leave the fair grounds, fly
around the city hall, eight miles dis
tant. and return to the grounds, a
trip OF sixteen miles.
The two daylight trips will be made
when the weather conditions are favor
able, it being understood that success
full flights cannot be made when high
winds prevail, hence no set time can
be made for the start. One flight will
be made about the grounds each night,
and the big ship will be followed by
searchlight.
The ship will be in charge of Jack
Dallas, the most daring airship navi-
gator in the country, and one of the
only two men who have ever attempt
ed to make night flights. Dallas made
daily flights at Jacksonville, Fla, all
last winter, and made for himself an
enviable record, having made success
full flights when 1t was thought almost
impossible to make the start on ac-
count of high winds.
The tent in which the airship is
housed is 40xS0 and 80 feet high,
which will give one an idea of its
size. The airship starts upon its flight
from its resting place in the big tent
and, after flying about the grounds
for time, returns without assistance
and lights in it's resting place.
The airship will be on exhibition TO
visitors during the entire fair.

A Cinderella Dance

For a short summer nights dance tc
be over at midnight an adaptation Of the
Cinderella idea would furnish interesting
suggestions for decorations and also a
cleYer excuse for bringing the evening to
close promptly at twelve o'clock, says
the August Womans Home Companion.
The invitations should be on cards in the
shape Of a slipper.
The dancing should cease at about
eleven o'clock and the guests be conducted
to the supper. which, il it can be served
on a sheltered porch. will be all the more
enjoyable. In the center Of the table,
surrounded by flowers, should be large
white slipper. This can be made by cut
ting piece of pasteboard into the shape
of slipper and covering it with crepe or
tissue paper. Small china or glass slip
pers surrounded by flower may be placed
here and there over the table. Small
slippers cut out of pasteboard and COW
cred will make dainty souvenirs. Ex-
actly at midnight large gong or bel
should be struck twelve times very slowly
and as soon as the last is sounded the
lights should be put out. .

NEARLY KILLED THEIR KEEPER

One of the best Midway attractions
ut the state fair last year was the
Mundy animal show, which is the
second largest independent animal
show In the country. The second day
of the fair. while trying to separate
two of his lions engaged in a fierce
fight, Prince, his largest lion, turned
on Mr.. Mundy, sinking his fangs deep
into his thigh and left arm. The fight
was fierce, and, having only small
whip at his command, he was unable
to cope with the enraged beast. While
pinioned on the floor of the cage, with
the fangs of the lion imbedded in his
right hip, he was handed chair, but
the lion broke this in an instant. An
iron bar was thrust at the lion, prying
his Jaws apart, and Mr.. Mundy was
liberated, removed from the cage and
taken to the hospital. His recovery
was very slow, and he was laid up for
five months. Today he carries use
less left arm, and on his right hip is
a deep pit, as large as a teacup. as a
result of the attack.
Mundy has two wild animal shows
on the road. Last year his small show
was on the Midway. This year he has
contracted with Manager Slocum for
his big wild animal show, and he will
be first on the Midway. Mr.. Mundy
will be in charge.

WHO OWNS THE STATE FAIR?

There seems to be some misunder.
standing in whom the ownership Of
the Michigan State Fair is vested. 1t
is owned by the Michigan State Agri-
cultural society, organized under the
laws of the state, and anybody can
become a member on the payment Of
81. and when that person becomes a
member, he or she has just the same
rights, so far as the state fair is con-
cerned, as any living person. When
we say anybody can become men,
Der we mean, In the broadcast sense
Of the word. any man. woman or child,
no matter what age or color. IL Is a
fair for all the people. governed by
the people, and it always will be. 1t
Is, therefore, apparent that every per-
son living in Michigan should take an
interest in making a success OF this
great fair. Your officers are working
hard TO make IL credit to the state
and they need the assistance of all
Of you. Just think what a mighty in
fluence the state fair would WELD IL
every loyal citizen would do his share
to make IL a success.
II you have anything that you think
u worthy of exhibiting, send 1t to the
Sur. You may secure some valuaDle
premiums. II you have nothing to ex-
hibit, arrange to attend the fair, and
arge your friends to attend.

Reader, this is one Of thousands Of
testimonials praising the marvellous
curative power OF Hyomei. If you are
sufferer, why not try it? Hanson &
emerson guarantees it, and will refund
your money if it fails to cure. Hyo-
mel is not stomach nostrum; it is
dry antiseptic and medicated air, and
all you have to do to cure any disease
of the nose, throat or lungs, is to
breathe it in through the Hyomei
inhaler. A Hyomei outfit, including
a scientific inhaler, only costs S1.0O.
Get one today. Subsequent treatment
Is only so cents bottle. Get one now
Hanson & Emerson take all the risk
They guarantee it.

Senator Nelson has made an
elaborate investigation and re-
port to the Senate on the pro-
posed law to prohibit the ship
ing of liquor into states where
it's sale is forbidden. The United
States government has virtually
nullified the states by permitting
the shipment of liquor on the
theory that it was interstate
commerce. A law has been pro-
posed which makes it criminal
to ship liquor into states where
it's sale has been prohibited. 1t
has been claimed the law was
unconstitutional, but Senator
Nelson shows that the law is
good if congress will pass it.
The days of Peruna will be over
if Congress ever passes it
