Her Description Of Flying.

The Countess La Bragiere, sister OF
Count de Lesseps, who made the
second cross-country fight in the
Halethorpe meet, has been up in the
air with her brother several times,
says the Baltimore News. This she did
at the Belmont park meet, and would
have done the same thing here had
not the storm interfered with her
plans as we'll as with the meet. She
was compelled to leave Baltimore for
her home in France without seeing
her brother fly the Halethorpe course.
Its just lovely and foolish and
wonderful, this flying" she said. MY
brother never seems to mind me
when l am up in the air with him. He
looks after his biplane and look aft
er myself. There is no interference
on my part.
'Oh. no, really am not afraid whe,.
am with him. But l don't think
would care to fly alone l have no
ambition to become a real. accredited
aviator. even though do like to go
up in the air. l mean this expression

Really Does the Work, Says
Noted Authority.

Thousands Of men and women who
have felt the sting and torture Of that
dread disease, rheumatism, which is
no respecter of age, persons, sex,
color or rank, will be interested to
know that it is one ofsthe easiest af-
fictions Of the human body to con-
quer. Medical science has proven it
not distinct disease in itself, but a
symptom caused by inactive kidneys.
Rheumatism is uric acid in the blood
and other waste products of the sys-
tenn which should be filtered and
strained out in the form of.urine. The
function Of the kidneys is to sift these
poisons and acids out and keep the
blood clean and pure The kidneys
however, are Of sponge-like substance,
the holes or pores Of which will some
times, either from overwork, cold or
exposure become clogged, and failing
in their function of eliminating these
poisons from the blood, they remain
in the veins, decompose and settling
about the joints and muscles, cause
the untold suffering and pain of rheu-
matism and backache, often producing
complications Of bladder and urinary
disease, and general weakness.
The following simple prescription is
said to relieve the worst cases of
rheumatism because Of it's direct &C.
ton upon the blood and kidneys, re-
lieving, too. the most severe forms of
bladder and urinary troubles: Fluid
Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce;
Compound Kargon, one ounce; Com
pound Syrup sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Mix by shaking well in a bot
tie and take in teaspoonful doses after
each meal and at bedtime. The in
gradients can be had from any pre-
scription pharmacy, and are absolutely
harmless and safe to use at any time.

Benny on BenevoIence,

Benevolence is great thing. When
you have benevolence you cannot rest
until you do something to make other
people feel grateful to you. The other
day my mamma went up into the attn
to find lot of old clothes to give
to poor people who could not afford to
buy any clothing for themselves.
While she was hunting around she
found a goldheaded cane worth s25
that grandpa had put up there IS
years ago, and forgot all about. Thus
we see, deaf friends, benevolence
brings its own reward-Benny.

CARNEGIE MAY BE
 CALLED AS WITNESS

New York. March l5-There were three important developments today in the grand jury's investigation into the af- fairs of the defunct Carnegie Trust com pany.
 The district attorney announced that Andrew Carnegie may be called as witness. who has pleaded guilty to larceny in connection with his banking operations probably will be the principal witness tomorrow.
 It came out in the text of a letter made public that William J. Cummns, directing head of the Carnegie Trust company, was recommended to Charles IT. Hyde, the city chamberlain, who su- pervises the deposits of city money, by Jordan J. Rollins, now counsel for the state banking department. Thousands of dollars of city funds have been tied up m the failure of the trust company and in Robins institutions. With regard to Mir. Carnegie. District Attorney Charles s. Whitman made this statement today:
 "The books of the trust company show that Andrew Carnegie lent it vast sums of money. He never got it back and I think 1t is doubtful if he ever will get it back.
 '-It Is more than likely that Mir. Car negie will be asked to tell the grand jury about these loans. He will be called If the evidence shows that his testimony is necessary"
