AER0NkUTS HAVE
THRILLING TRIP
BALLOON is CARRIED OVER MT.
LOWE BY STRONG WiND-PAR-
Y REACH CAMP.

LOS ANGELES, Cal. March "a
Capt. A. Z. Mueller and five compan-
ions who assembled in the racing bal

day landed In the Sierra Madre noun
tains Saturday. They arrived on foot
at Switzers camp on the slopes OF
Mount Wilson, unframed, yesterday,
and told their thrilling experience.
The balloon was In the air less than
two hours. 1t was carried by the
strong north wind over the mile-high
summit OF Mount Lowe and swept on
across the intervening peaks and can
ons TO the lofty summit OF Mount Ca
briel Their balloon was thrown out
and the ballon scared toward Straw
berry peak in the third range. Cross
ing this at low altitude. the balloon
encountered strong current OF cold
air, which brought IL rapidly TO earth.
A successful landing was effected
on the north side of Strawberry peak,
in what is known as Little Tejugga
canon. about o'clock Saturday al
ternoon. less than two hours after the
ascension at Pasadena. The distance
covered was less than 10 miles in a
direct line, but by any possible foot
route IL was many times that dis
lance.
A terrific snow storm had swept the
mountains and for hours the men SUI
fered from cold. The meager supply
of provisions which they carried was
sufficient to guarantee against hunger
until their arrival at the ranch.
At the ranch the party remained un-
I'll Monday afternoon when the storm
ceased. They Immediately took up the
snow-choked trail across the noun
tains toward Pasadena.

AFTER=EFFECTS
 OF THE GRIP
Tonic Treatment Is Necessary After the Aeate Stage of the Disease Is Past Before the Health Can Be Fully
 Restored,

A single attack of the grip may mean llifetime of misery if proper precautions are not taken to restore the blood and iriye out the lingering poisons that cause the so.called "after.effects" of the disease.
 The danger from the grip is seldom over when the characteristic symptoms, the fever, the catarrh, the headache and the depression of spirits pass away. The grip leaves behind it weakened vital powers, thin blood, impaired digestion and over.sensitive nerves-a condition that makes the system an easy prey to pneumonia, bronchitis, rheumatism, ner- vous prostration, and even consumption. Too much stress cannot be laid on the importance of strengthening the blood and nerves during convalescence.
 This tonic treatment quickly restored Mrs. J. G. Reid, of No. 253 1.2 Fifth street, Jersey City, N. J., to health. She says:
 After an attack of the grip, which confined me to bed for about three weeks, I was left in weak, rundown condi- tion. l was short of breath and had palpitation of the heart upon any little exertion. After going up stairs l would have to rest for several minutes. I was subject to splitting headaches and my kidneys were affected.
 "The doctors medicine was very slow in benetiting me and I decided to try Dr., Williams Pink Pills as they had cured my daughter of weakness. Twas relieved while taking the first box and continued with the pills until cured. I have been in perfect health since and have great faith in Dr. Williams Pink Pills. cheerfully recommend them to anyone who is suffering as did"
