LONGEST AIRSHIP FLIGHT

Washington, Aug. $40 bird OF
the air ever sailed a truer course
from point to point than did the Bald
win dirigible. Straight as an arrow
from the bow, the airship sped across
the county at a height of 500 feet.
The westerly course was held for
eight minutes. during which time the
ship travelled two miles to Balston,
Va. Here they swung to the north
in another wide circle and sped back
to the parade ground, still at the
same speed. This was the longest
flight made. lasting altogether seven
teen minutes and finishing exactly at
the starting point, much as a man
would walk over field and return
TO the place he started for exercise
and with IS much apparent ease.

LODGES FEEL EFFECT OF -

Odd results have followed the
panic and how ramifled its effects
were is shown by the complaints OF
secret orders that new members have
been few and far between since the
depression began. They say that
many probable members are remain
ing out OF the lodges, because they
do not care to turn loose the price OF
an initiation fee and the subsequent
dues. Riding the goat, therefore.
has been a rare sight in the lodge
rooms and the treasurer's report
some little backwaTdness in the col
lection of dues. However. prospects
are Frightening In this as in all other
lines, and by fall the lodges hope to
see great boom from the enforced
quietness.

To relieve the worst forms of
Rheumatism, take a teaspoonful of
following mixture after each meal
and at bedtime
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce Compound Kargon, one
ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsapa-
rilla, three ounces.
The harmless ingredients can be
obtained from our home druggists,
and are easily mixed shaking them
them we'll in a bottle. Relief is
generally felt from the first few
doses.
This prescription forces the clog
ged-up inactive kidneys to filter and
strain from the blood the poisonous
waste matter and uric acid, which
causes Rheumatism.
AS Rheumatism is not only the
most painful and torturous disease,
but dangerous to life. this, simple re-
cipe will no doubt be greatly valued
by many sufferres here at home,
who should at once prepare the mix
ture to get this relief.
II is said that person who would
take this prescription regularly, a
dose or two daily. or even few
times week, would never have SER
ious Kidney or Urinary disorders or
Rheumatism.
Cut this out and preserve it.
