Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1910-09-10

Eugene B. Ely, the tri-city aviator,
who flies in the Curtiss aeroplane ex-
hibitions at the Rock Island Exposition
next week, is the youngest of the Cur
tiss aviators. but is one of the few bird
men of the world who learned to fly
just by flying, that is, without having
seen more than one flight and having
no instructor. Although painfully in
jured number of times in dangerous
accidents while learning the art of
flying without a tutor. Ely persisted,
and is one of the most successful and
daring man-birds of America today.
Ely enjoys the unique distinction of
having been the first to demonstrate a
heavier-than-air flying machine to the
kite-fying people Of Japan. Last spring
he took his Curtiss biplane machine to
the FloweTy kingdom, and by imperial
command gave flying exhibitions before
the mikado and his court. After his
tour of the island empire he returned
to America and participated in a
number of the large aviation meets and
exhibitions in the far west, eastern
cities, and in Canada.
Recently, while flying at Winnipeg,
Manitoba, he descended from height
of 500 feet when his motor stopped and
demolished his machine. although es-
Gaping himself with a few scratches
and a severe shaking up. Press dis
patches, however, reported him in a
dying condition, and a telegram was
sent to his relatives asking where the
remains were to be shipped.
A few days later, Ely, accompanied
by his wife returned to the States, and
his homecoming was in the nature of
a resurrection.
Ely was one of the most prominent
aviators at the recent aviation meet
held at Sheepshead Bay, New York,
which was headed by Glenn H. Curtiss
and participated in by six professional
aviators and machines that could fly
At this meet Ely won the plaudits of
the New York press and the applause
and commendation of the public by es-
tablishing a record at this meet for the
longest maneuver and highest altitude.

corps, two weeks ago reached a
height of 1900 feet in his aeroplane

five miles and finished in the lead.
During the race Ely was up in the
air 100 feet. During the meet in
Rock Island next week an effort will
be made to best these records of
Ely.

SCRATCHED so SHE COULD
NOT SLEEP

II write to tell you how thankful I
am for the wonderful Cuticura REM
edies. My little niece had eczema for,
i've years and when her mother died
took care Of the child. It was all
over her face and body, also on her
head. She scratched SO that she could
not sleep nights. used Cuticura
Soap to wash her with and thea ap-
piled Cuticura Ointment. I did not
use quite half the Cuticura Soap and
Ointment, together with Cuticura Re-
solvent, when you could see change
and they cured her nicely. Now she
is eleven years old and has never been
bothered with eczema since. MY
friends think it is just great the way
the baby was cured by Cuticura. I
send you q picture taken when she was
about 10 months old.
"She was taken with the eczema
when two years old. She was covered
with big sores and her mother had all
the best doctors and tried air kinds ol
salves and medicines without effect
until we used Cuticura Remedies. Mrs.

Feeding the Cow When Fresh

milk production Is that during the
first 20 days, If fed properly. they in.
crease gradually In their dow of milk.
and after that time they begin to grad
ually decline until at tie end Of a
certain period they are again dry. In
this particular, dairy COWS differ
greatly from common or dual purpose
for the purpose of milking persistently
as well as largely throughout the year.
The common COW or the dual purpose
cow has not been bred or raised par
ticu!arly with this point In view. and
as consequence she dries up very
readily, oftentimes at the end of six
or eight months. The cow which is
profitable is the COW which milks
throughout the entire year. and the
most profitable methods of caring for
and feeding the dairy COW are those
methods which induce her to milk
largely over this long period of time.
First 80 Days an index.
Now. it's plain to be seen by any
reader that If during the first thirty
days the COW is stimulated in her milk
production In gradual manner and in
such way that the climax of her pro-
ductlon when reached Is a large
amount. it will take her longer to de.
cline In her milk flow 10 the period
when she is dry than though her milk
flow is stimulated to the degree which

condition. but also IN keeping up the
flow of milk which the conditions OF
June has stimulated. When fall comes
along with the cold nights and the
rainy days. there is another chance
that the COW will begin declining in
her dow. The farmer and dairyman
always dislikes to SEQ the time come
when 1t is necessary for him to con.
fine his ani1aals to the barn so he puts
OH from time to time taking the cows
In from the pasture, aid as a result,
although he is not aware OF 1t, unless
the milk is weighed daily. the cows
begin dropping CT seriously in their
milk flow because their feeder and
owner is not following the dictates of
the lessons which he learns from Ma
ture when she was supplying the con.
d1tions most suitable. The feeder
should bear in mind that whenever
the COW declines in milk flow, wheth.
er the amount Is small! or great, it 10
impossible to bring her back to the
point Of production where she will
supply SO great an amount of milk
even though the conditions be greatly
bettered.
The conditions that are most suit
able to milk production are surround.
ings that are comfortable tc the COW
and feeds supplied in abundance that
furnish the nutrients required tor
making milk and having the COW in
that condition which makes 1t possible
for her to do her best work.

The Useful Crocodile Fish.

In the rivers and lakes of the Mex.
lean state of Tabasco there swims g
fish known as the crocodile fish,"
which, according to word received at
the department of commerce and la.
Dor, Is most useful to man.
The skin Of the crocodile fish II
properly cured, may be utilized for
any of the purposes for which the
lighter weights of leather are en,.
ployed. The oil of the crocodile fish
is perfect lubricant, and also used
for softening leather. In addition to
its qualities as a lubricant and emol.
lient, the oil possesses medicinal qusl.
tiles for which a superiority to the
finest Of Norwegian cod liver is
claimed. The flesh of the crocodile
fish is extensively used by the ma
tives as food and highly relished by
them as one Of the delicacies of the
country. Crocodile fish range in
length from ten inches to four feet
and when dried assume an ashen
hue, with lighter shadings Of a blue
ish tint.
