BALLOON MAKING and refilling
X will become a common sight in
~ Los Angeles as a result of the
race promoted by Dick Ferris with his
balloons, the United States and
America. The Aero club of California,
which has headquarters in Los Angeles,
is planning the building of a balloon
park of twenty acres near Bimini Inn
and a balloon to be named the Los
Angeles will be constructed there.
A great deal of care that the public
does not observe enters into the prepa-
ration for a balloon ascension, espe-
cially where an endurance race or other
contest is involved. Yards and yards
of the finest Japanese silk are used to
manufacture the envelope, as the bal
loon proper which holds the gas is
called. 1t is most carefully vanished,
and the work is done with air brushes,
as an interminable time would be re-
quired to do this solely with brush
by hand. The air brushes are followed,

however, by an application of the brush
to spread the varnish evenly.
AS the balloon must be vanished in
side as we'll as on the exterior it is
partially inflated with air by blower
operated by a small electric motor, and
the men crawl under the folds and APP
ply the varnish to the inner surface. 1t
often happens that the fumes of the

liarity in this is that the workers them
selves do not realize that they are los
ing consciousness, and it is necessary
for another man to look in occasionally
to see how they are withstanding the
heavily charged air. When the balloon
America, which is shown in the illus
tration inflated for interior work, was
being overhauled at Chutes park this
month one of the men who was operat-
ing a brush inside it was found vigor
ously scrubbing away with the back of
the brush. The effect of the fumes had
to a point which allowed him
still to work without realizing what he
was doing.

own hand after playing it, it has come to
be known as the Suicide symphony"
The theory that music may be really
poison for the nerves has led to the for
nation of society for the definite study
of the subject. Experiments are to be
made with different styles of music upon
patients variously afflicted, and the eff

MUSIC THE MIND-WRECKER

THE idea that music may be harmful
that it can create fever in the
blood dangerous to life and reason-will
come as a revelation to many.
Friedrich Nietzsche, the wel-known
German philosopher, declares that there
is something in some music-most notice
able in Wagner and Tschaikowsky-
which acts unfavorably on the brain and
nerves of many people

THE ETERNAL FEMININE

A MONG some African tribes, when
"a a man processes his love for a
woman and asks her in marriage, she in
varably refuses him at first, lest it
should appear that she had been thinking
of him and was eager to become his
wife By so doing she maintains the
modesty of her sex, as well as tests the
love and aliases the pride of her lover.
This policy is also intended to be OF
use to the woman in her married life
as. should there be quarreling, and the
husband threaten to send her away, she
can remind him of how he made re-
peated professions of his love and urgent
ly pressed his suit before she consented
to become his wife.-Wide World Maya

Cold Settles
on Kidneys
Cure is obtained promptly by using
DR.. A. W.Chase's Kidney and Liver
Pills.

Medical authorities place colds as the
most frequent cause of kidney dis
eases.
1t is customary to consider the lungs
alone in danger from colds.
This is a mistake.
The kidneys are quite as susceptible,
and the effect is to congest and clog
these filtering organs until the whole
system is poisoned and there comes
backaches, lumbago, aching head,
painful limbs and urinary derange-
ments.

If Your Fat Worries You Remember Marmola and You'll Forget
 Nour Eat

The most generously good and intensely pleasing way to get rid of the fatty flesh that you don't want-loose, shaky, soft extravagances-is to take a simple doc tors prescription, which, although no one knows how to explain it, actually makes fat people thin. As long as you take the medicine you keep on getting thin; when you stop taking the medicine you stop getting thin. For many years doctors have been trying to discover this remark- able substance compound, Marmola, but it has only been within recent times that it's true value was learned Marmola is best taken with two other ingredients. The full prescription is as follows ta ounce Marmola, F ounce Fluid Extract Cascara Aromatic and 31a ounces Syrup Simplex. Dose, one teaspoonful after meals and before bedtime. There is ab- s-olutely no danger in taking Marmola On the contrary, it is apt to strengthen the entire system and purify the blood, because 1t helps the stomach to assiml- late better, and by reason of its special action on the fat cells it is recommended as a general tonic as well. No person bothered with fat need hesitate about try ing bottle of the Marmola Prescription. Results are sure to follow. Good drug eists fill the Marmola prescription as written and never substitute.
