busy Wednesday watching the fortunes
az j. Armstrong Drexel Of this city, who
established a new worlds record and
Claude Grahame- White, the English
man bird who brought to close a
series Of exciting exhibitions at the Point
Breeze race track in the southern sec
tion of the city.
Drexel broke all aeroplane altitude
records Wednesday when he climbed
above this city until his Bleriot mono
plane was unable to make further prog
ress in the rarifed atmosphere. The
ink in the needle Of his Paragraph ran
out at $3.50 feet, which was accepted
as new worlds record Wednesday
night by Clifford B. Harmon, chairman
Of the national council of Associated
Aero Clubs of America, and James King
Duffy, the secretary of that body. The
instrument is the same one which John
stone carried when he made the former
record of OKLA feet at Belmont park on

tion yesterday. He tried to fly to Phila-
delphiG in a Bleriot monoplane from
Oreland, Pa, where he landed Wednes-
day after his record breaking fight, but
he got lost and was forced by lack of
gasoline to land at Trenton Junction,

He said he mistooll the Delaware river
for the Sckuylkill and travelled north IN
stead Of south He had intended fol-
lowing the SehuylkiIi to Point Breeze,
After arranging for the safe keeping
OF the aircraft, Mr. Drexel returned to
Philadelphia by train.

persons We're awaiting Mr. Drexel at
Point Breeze and when word which
proved to be untrue. was received that
the former was coming down the river,
Mr.. White sailed up the river to meet
him. After his descent word Of Mr..
Drexel's landing was received.
Mr. White gave several exhibition
flights yesterday and on one of his trips
took aloft General James Allen, chief
signal officer Of the United States army.
General Allen was taken over the Phila
delphia navy yard which is about

Unhappy is the man or woman with
bad back No rest, no sleep, no peace
at all. 1t begins in the morning, when
you get up from bed so lame sore and
stiff that it is hard to bend over to put
your shoes on.
All day there is a heavy. dull, throb-
bling pain in the small of the back, just
over the kidneys. II hurts to bend over
to lift anything or even to get up from
chair. Any sudden, awkward move
ment sends a sharp, darting twinge
through the sore spot.
When night comes the sufferer re-
tires to fitful sleep, can't lie comforta-
bly, in any one position, or turn over
without a painful effort
Don't look at backache as merely a
muscular pain, that will pass away with
rest There is deeper trouble. Nine
times out of ten 1t is the kidneys that
throb and ache, and there can be no re-
lief until the kidneys are given help
The kidneys have a big work to do

be freed of uric poisons. 1t is a heavy
