LIGHT BOOZE
Do You Drink 1t?

A minister's wife had quite tussle
with coffee and her experience is in
teresting. She says:
During the two years of my train
ing as a nurse, while on night duty, L
became addicted to coffee drinking. Be-
tween midnight and four in the morn
ing, when the patients were asleep,
there was little to do except make the
rounds, and it was quite natural that
l should want good, hot cup of cof-
fee about that time. 1t stimulated me
and / could keep awake better.
after three or four years of coffee
drinking | became a nervous wreck
and thought that / simply could not
live without my coffee. All this time
| was subject to frequent bilious at
tacks, sometimes so severe as to keep
me in bed for several days.
after being married, Husband
begged me to leave off coffee for he
feared that it had, already hurt me
almost beyond repair, so / resolved to
make an effort to release myself from
the hurtful habit.
II began taking Postum, and for
few days felt the languid, tired feeling
from the lack of the stimulant, but
liked the taste of Postum and that
answered for the breakfast beverage
all right.
FINALLY began to feel clearer head
ed and had steadier nerves. After
years use of Postum now feel like a
new woman-have not had any bilious
attacks since | left off coffee"

The Tyrrany of Yesterday.

There are some people over whom
yesterday tyrannizes. That is to say,
they shrink from doing to-day any
thing that differs in the least from
what they did "a hours ago. Emerson
has called consistency, under some
circumstances, "the hobgoblin of lit
tie minds" and Walter Bagehot has
said there are many persons to whom
it, is a positive pain to entertain a new
idea. This slavish defense to yester-
day robs us of many a fine inspira-
ton, and many splendid opportunity.
Letting L dare not wait upon L
would" we cover and faltef and
shrink upon the verge of great ex-
ploits and achievements merely be-
cause these would involve strange and
unfamiliar experiences OF death it
self we are afraid, not because death
is painful, but because it is different
or seems to us different from what we
have been doing all along.

seccnd is toe Parseval, which is be-
ING developed by Mai. Won Parseval,
retired officer of the army, and the
third is the famous Zeppelin, the de-
sign of Count Zeppelin, also retired
army officer.
The first balloon of the Gross type
made its initial ascension about two
years ago. AS a result of the sue
cessful experiments with the first of
this type, Maj. Won Gross has quite
recently brought out perfected air
ship built along the same lines, but
with greatly increased volume and di-
mensions. The latest has volume
of 1860 cubic feet and is driven by
two as horse power Daimler motors,
and has speed of 81 miles an hour.
The most remarkable performance of
this airship occurred last fall, when
1t left Berlin at 1925 in the morning,
carrying four passengers, and re-
turned the next day at 1880, having
covered 176 miles in little more
than 13 hours. This is the longest
trip, both in point of time and dis
tance, ever made by any airship re-
turning to its starting point.
The Parseval is owned and con-
trolled by the Society for the Study
of Motor Balloons. This organization,
composed of capitalists, was formed
practically at the command of EN-
peror William, who is very much in
terested in aerial navigation. The So
ciety has a capital of 100000 marks
owns and controls the Parseval pat
ents, and is ready to construct its
type of balloons for the government
or for commercial purposes.

fleet has been organized in sections
throughout the country. 1t has an
nounced its intention of building 90
garages for the housing of airships.
France is not far behind Germany
in the matter of supplying her army
with dirigible balloons. There are
two French types, the Patrie and the
Republique. The Patrie, the third OF
it's type, was first operated in 1906. 1t
was developed by an engineer named
Julliot, employed by Lebaudy Broth
ers at their sugar refinery in Paris.
The second French type is the Re-
publique, which is 200 feet long and
35 u feet in diameter. 1t has lifting
capacity of 5000 pounds, of which
2,70O are available for passengers,
fuel and ballast. The best it has been
able to do was to cover 125 miles in
61h hours in an unfavorable wind.
The English budget this year car
ries an appropriation of 100000 for
military aeronautics, and a keen in
terest is being taken in the subject, so
much so that there has been a vigor-
GUS protest made by those officers who
have the subject in hand against the
smallness of the allotment for the
work.
Compared with the five officers and
the II men which the United States
has detailed for aeronautical work in
the army, whole balloon battalions
are maintained by Germany, France
and Russia, and q company by Eng
land. The French battalion consists
of four companies with factory and
an experimental station at Meudon.
The German battalion has three COM
panies of trained officers and men
with headquarters and school at
Tegel. Russia, which only recently
purchased a dirigible of one of the
French types for military purposes
has assigned three battalions for its
study and operation, and is contem
plating some extensive Investments In
this means of war preparation. Italy
also purchased dirigible last year
and has FIVE officers and 80 men as
signed to the study of aeronautics
Spain has also acquired small dirig
ible. and even Belgium Is as far ad
vanced as is the United States In this

In view of the constant agitation
and misrepresentation with regard to
the treatment of consumption, the
National Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis has issued
a statement in which it states that the
only sure cure for this disease is fresh
air, rest and wholesome food. Hardly
week passes without some quack
doctor" or eminent specialist" in
forming the public that he has at last
discovered the sure cure for tubercu-
losis. After examining every one of
these so-called cures, several hundred
in number the National association
states that, one and all, they are mis-
representations or fakes.

A IA propriati on directly
"a A available for the
" Va work, the aeronautical
v division of the signal
corps of the army is
about to begin its summer campaign
for the study of aerial navigation. The
fact that $20,000,O00 or more are now
being expended annually by this gov
eminent for the construction of bat
tleships may be making the United
States one of the foremost naval pow
ers of the world, but the further fact
that not single penny has been set
aside by congress for the building of
airships or for their operation or de-
velopment is causing this country to
be left far behind the nations of Eu-
rope in the matter of military aero
nautics.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
signal corps, with the approval of the
secretary of war, has asked congress
/ II modest allotment of funds with
(which to equip itself with the means
of studying and experimenting with
the subject, the lawmakers have al
ways turned deaf ear to the appeals.
Now, at time when Germany,
France, Great Britain, Russia and
even the weaker nations, such as
Italy and Spain and Belgium, are de-
voting large sums of money and the
time and experience of experts to the
solution of the problem, the accom-
plishment of which has been mans
dream for ages, the United States
finds itself handicapped, and it's prog
ress estopped because it has been i'm
possible to obtain a meager appropria
tion to carry on it's work. The only
encouragement which the signal corps
has thus far found in it's attempt tc
keep pace with the development o.

unofficial announcement of Presiden
Taft that he will advocate a suitable
appropriation by congress at its mex

Signal Corps at Work.

In spite of the discouragement oc-
casion>d by the lack of money the
signal corps is going ahead with the
means at hand, and expects to make
some substantial advancement in bal
looming during the coming summer
Five officers, Lieuts. Lahm, Fulois,
Winters, Bamberger and Dickinson,
and II men of the corps have been
assigned by Gen. Allen to the aero
nautical detail, and will conduct what
ever experimental work is done. None
of the men has ever made an ascen-
sion, and the same is true of two of
the officers. Lieut.. Lahm is the only
recognized pilot, by which is meant,
according to the rule of the various
aero clubs, one who has made not less
than ten ascensions, at least one of
which must have been alone, and one
at night. Under this rule. Lieut.
Lahm, who recently made a success
full ascension from Fort Myer, Va, in
the governments spherical balloon,
is the only officer who can qualify.
Aside from two spherical free bal
looms, one of $40 cubic meters and
the other of 1000 cubic meters ca
pacity, the government possesses one
dirigible balloon. Just now the men
of the squad are being trained at Fort
Myer In the work of handling the
spherical balloons, in learning how to
fill them, and fare for them. Within
a few days they will be advanced to
the work on the dirigible, known as
Dirigible No. 1. This balloon was
built for the department by Capt
Thomas S. Baldwin, under specifica'
tions, and delivered to the signal
corps last August.
The money with which 1t was paid
for came from the fund allotted In the
regular annual appropriation to the
board of ordnance and Notifications.

Plant at Fort Omaha.
In anticipation of the governments
taking up the subject of aeronautics
on scale commensurate with its
Importance complete plant has been
constructed at the signal corps post
at Fort Omaha, Neb. This plant COM
prises steel balloon house 200 feet
long and large enough to house a
dirigible the size of the new French
military airship known as La Repub-
lique. An electrolytic plant has been
installed capable of furnishir 5000
cubic feet of gas an hour Various
other appliances have also been
added, but unfortunately the corps has
no balloon to operate at the plant.
There is, however, some doubt as to
the wisdom displayed in erecting this
plant at Fort Omaha, owing to the
disadvantage caused by the prairie
winds at times. All things considered,
the most of the experimental work in
aeronautics conducted by the army
for the present will be at Fort Myer,
where the conditions are good both
for experiments with dirigibles and
with aeroplanes.
Compared to the progress with
dirigibles which has been made in
Germany, France and England. the
United States is practically at a
standstill in this rapidly advancing
form of military preparation. Devel-
opment in the science of aerial navi-
cation is going on with such strides
that it is almost impossible for this
4 government, with its single small
dirigible, to keep pace with the ex-
periments in other countries. Ger
many is regarded as further advanced
than any of her sister countries in the
way of making the dirigible a prac
tical military necessity.
Already three of her principal cities
along the French border are equipped
with balloon defenses, and a fourtt
will be similarly equipped within the
coming summer. During the pas
year the German government expend
ed more than $1,00O.O0O in the pur
chase and development of dirigibl'
balloons.

and the amount to be paid for the lab
ter is $4,000. Technical delivery OF
both machines has been made to the
signal corps at Fort Myer, and. so far
as the Wright brothers are concerned,
they completed part of their trials
last fall before the accident which re-
suited in the death of Lieut.. Selfridge
and the injury to Mr.. orville Wright.
Since that time Mr.. Wilbur Wright
has been continuing his experiments
in France with success. Although
the war department has not yet been
officially advised, 1t is expected that
the new aeroplane of the Wright
brothers will be delivered on time,
and that its trials will occur at Fort
Myer during the month of July. The
conditions of their contract require
machine which will have a speed of
| 40 miles an hour, and in its trial
| flights remain continuously in the air
| for at least one hour. 1t is designed
to carry two persons with combined
weight of $50 pounds, and also suf-
ficient fuel for 125 miles. The trials
last year indicated that the machine
would be able to fulfill the require
ments.
AS soon as the aeroplanes are deliv-
cred at Fort Myer and the trials COM
pleted to the satisfaction of the mill

pose of the signal corps to train the
