TOnsiline The throat is one Of
the most delicate parts
lures of the body. 1t is also
SOro Tnroo@ one Of the most im-
pOrtant, and should
be given the best possible care.
The throat is the gateway to the body.
The air we breathe, the food we eat, the
liquids we drink, all pass through it. It is
very easily affected by cold, strain, ex-
posure, etc., and Sore Throat is therefore
one Of our most common ailments.
Strangely enough, it is also one of the
most neglected.
Sore Throat is a very serious matter,
for the whole system is in danger in
consequence of it.
Every Sore Throat patient is a candidate
for Tonsilitis, Quinsy, Diphtheria and
other serious or fatal diseases, all of which
can be prevented by the timely cure Of the
Sore Throat by the use of TONSILINE.
IL taken IN time dose or two will do it.
TONSILINE is made to cure throat dis
eases and nothing else. 1t is the one
remedy for this purpose sold largely in the
United States. Every user endorses it;
every physician, knowing its virtues,
commends it.
The one most important thing to n
remember about T0NSILINE is the Ga
fact that it really does cure Sore
Throat. E5

showing hereditary difference Most Euro
pean aeroplanes are descended from the
Bleriot.
The first feature of the Bleriot was Its bird
like appearance: wings front and tail be-
hind-dinerent from the Wright pracuce
Of that time but a development they have
come to-and with the motor in front OF the
pilot with the high speed propeller rotating
at the front of all and pulling the machine
after it-called " tractor" propeller. The
present Bleriot differs only in details from
the cross-channel flier.
Closely following the Bleriot is the Morane,
one of the most notable copies, which il
shown In the drawings.
Comparison with Parent Type.
In describing it l shall name as go the
differences in comparison with the first Of
the type.
The first difference that strikes the novice
is in the landing device.
The Bleriot has wheels and no skids, the
rrheels being mounted with plenty of spring
nm and down. The Morane has two short
sL,ds with the wheels supported from them
by rubber bands, so that in humping on land
ing the wheels spring up and the skIds hit,
thus bridging many gaps which wheels might

& the weight OF the wings in landing, they
being loose when in flight. "
For warping the wings to maintain lateral
balance the wing spars at the rear are con-
nected across the top through a pulley on
the "cabane" f" by wire, so that when one
wing is pulled down the other goes UP.
Wires below from the same spars run
around a pulley on the bracing frame below,
so that when the pilot moves his control
lever above this pulley in rotating pulls down
one wing or the other.
A feature Of the Morane which Bleriot has
taken over on his later machines is that Of
having no bearing support in front OF the
motor, between It and the propeller. Thus
the motor sticks out at the front, as shown
at N, all in the open and easy TO get at for
any repairs. A hood OF metal above protects
the pilot from a bath Of castor oil when
flying.
As to records. the Morane stands only
second TO the Bleriot, N Vedrines being It's
greatest pilot as Beaumont Ii Of the Bleriot
and weymana Of the NIeuport.
