Because you yourself have never trav-
eled from New York to Liverpool In five
days, do you dsbeleve that it can be
done? If you had never Travelled except
by OK team, would you doubt that the
modern railway trains cover the ground
at the rate of 60 miles an hour?
Probably not, because both instances
are accepted as facts; because you are
acquainted with some one who has traY-
eled as mentioned, and whose word Is
believed by you. But have you not doubt
ed the claims of the Radio institute,
simply because they are new and strange
and sound perhaps, too wonderful to
believe? If you do doubt. If you or
your friend or relative is a sufferer from
any of the chronic diseases of mankind,
and fail to take advantage of the free
consultation offered by the Radio inst IT,
tute. then you belong to the hopeless
class who, were 1t left to them, would
still have this world travelling In OK
carts and sailing vessels.

From the Kansas City Star.

From the Kansas City Star.
A strapping fine young fellow was os-
car Erbsloeh, the aeronaut, who lost his
life in Prussia yesterday. At the inter-
national balloon race in st. Louis three
years ago, where Erbsloeh won the Lahm
cup given for the longest balloon flight,
he showed himself a good sportsman.
The director of the Blue Mound Observa-
tory, Harvard. was to have accompanied
him as aid but within a day or two of
the flight gave thoughts to his home and
family and decided he would stay on
the ground. That made 1t somewhat In
convenient for the aeronaut, who had
come all the way from Germany and
shipped a few tons of material. besides
to compete for trophy; but he made nc
criticism OF his delinquent aid.
Then came the question of duties on
his silk balloon and equipment. AL
though invited to come to America to
take part in an event that possessed ma
tional attributes, he had to deposit a
thousand dollars or more with customs
officers to guard against the possibility
of his going In the retail balloon bust

of that kind could easily be permitted tc

aeronaut's only purpose in coming tc

MENDOZA OPPOSED
FOR PRESIDENCY
Panama Is Excited Over Ac-

MATTER rs CONSIDERED
State Department At Washington Adj
mits That Mendoza's Succession
To ObaIdia Is Under Con-
sideration

Panama, August Pat was stated at
the American legation today that the
United States government would con-
slider unconstitutional the election by the
national assembly of Acting President
Carlos Mendoza as President Of the re-
public of Panama to fill out the unfin-
ished two years of the term Of the late
President Obaldia. This statement, com
ing SO close upon the time of the meeting
of the assembly to choose President mas
created great sensation in political cir
cles.
Senior Mendoza was second vice presi-
dent of the republic at the time of the
death of President Obaldia last March
and at once assumed the office of acting
president. With the success of the Liber-

it was the general belief that Mendoza

Eligibility la Considered

Washington, August 22.-As result oil
reports from Panama that the American
legation there had confirmed rumors that
the United States would oppose the cleo
ton of DR.. Mendoza as unconstitutional
the state department today took up the
incident, admitting that the eligibility of
Mendoza will be under consideration.
Mr.. Marsh, charge d. affaires Of the
Panama legation, in response to inquiries
from the Washington government. 1t Is
understood. made a statement of just
what he had said in an interview with
representatives of the Panama news
papers. According to the state depart
ment his interview was summarized into
these words
THE government of the United States
has entire confidence in the ability of the
people of Panama and the national as
sembly to elect their national officers
in accordance with their constitution
without need of outside interference"
Mr. Marshs interview was described at
the department as entirely spontaneous
and any inspiration of it from Washing
ton was denied.
1t was admitted 1t the department that
the United States, in view of the repeated
discussion In Panama as to eligibility of
DR.. Mendoza who has been acting presi-
dent of the little republic since the death
several months ago of President Obaldia,
had been giving some study to the prob
lem.
The department adopted this course. II
is understood, because of the provisions
between the United States and Panama
for the preservation of constitutional or
der in the little isthmian republic. Up
to the present time, however, the gov
eminent of the United States has not felt
called upon to make any representations
on the subject to the Panama govern
ment. What its course will bs officers o.
the department refuse to disclose.

abled to see through and into every part
of my body, l was encouraged. They
told me that had catarrh of the lungs
and consented to treatment.
THE Radio Generator was placed near
me, and Its powerful rays turned upon
my chest. Instantly could almost feel
the rays of concentrated sunshine pene-
trating through to my lungs. Then from
another apparatus the radio current was
forced by means of peculiar glass tubes,
through every tissue of my body.
There was no feeling save one of de-
lightful exhilaration, yet I was so
charged with this strange force that one
of the doctors lighted piece of paper
from my shoe. Then from this another
machine concentrated ozone was dis
charged through tube held beneath my

tors explained that the radio current
forced into my body was death to the
harmful germs and diseased conditions;
that the concentrated ozone l inhaled in
10 minutes equaled the amount man
would obtain on Pixies Peak in 10 months.
That sunlight, long Known for Its cura-

POLITICAL SKY Is DARK

Oyster Bay, August 22,-On the eve of
his departure for the west Colonel Roose-
welt spent a day not the least eventful
of those that have crowded upon him
since his return to politics. Overshadow-
ing everything else was the full text of
President Taft's letter, not received here
until this evening, but the colonel had
been given earlier intimation Of what he
might expect.
Representative Nicholas Longworth, his
son-in-law, arrived at Sycamore Hill
about noon and spent the afternoon in
earnest talk. To all inquiries he replied

that he was not the bearer of any mes

his old chief with the contents of the
Presidents letter. The colonel was great
ly pleased to hear that Sherman, Barnes,
Woodruff, Aldridge and Company" had
been repudiated.
When the full text of the letter ar
rived the colonel answered briefly, but
unhesitatingly, all questions upon pas
sages that seemed to need explanation.
When asked If Mr.. Sherman had carried
out his agreement with President Taft
to confer with Mr. Roosevelt or If he had
been invited to do so, the colonel re-
piled that he had received a written re-
quest for such a conference dated be-

He had replied to Mr.. Sherman's letter
that, in view of the action of the COM
mittee, a later conference seemed I'M
necessary.
When President Taft's statement that
no other name than Senator Roots had
been mentioned to him as a possible can
didate In opposition was called to the
colonel's attention he was asked If he had
ever heard Senator Roots name in that
connection before.
NO. he answered, with emphasis, and
went on with the letter.
