Starting a Big Business.

1T was the spread of the prohibition
movement" the opinion says. that gave
vitality to this character of traffic in
liquor With statewide prohibition
came the Interstate traffic in liquor
The decision of the Supreme Court that
this traffic was interstate, and. there
fore superior to interference by the
state governments, gave the industry
tremendous impetus and established the
express companies as the carriers of
practically the whole Of this traffic.
1t is also declared that the traffic has
an evil effect on and is one of the i'm
portant factors in the race problem of
the south because Of the large quantity
of very cheap whisky manufactured and
shipped there for the consumption of the
negro pOpulatiOn."

Reaches Height of 1900 Feet.

Only one of the government hangers
has been entirely completed. There are
three more in course of construction. and
when they are finished there will be one
and later two more machines added to the
government string. No fancy flying has
been attempted The greatest height
reached today was about 100 feet. The
next thing that will be attempted will be
some crOsS-cOuntrN flights.
The new Rex Smith machine that is be-
ing assembled at the park is almost ready
for trial. The old machine that has
been brought back and reassembled is
now in working order. and was given
some flights Yesterday afternoon. The
new aviators that are being trained on
this machine are Fred Fox Raoul La
Mat, O'Hagan and Peck. Historian. the
professional who flew a BleriOt abroad, is
also being given trial, and as soon as
he gets used to the control of biplane
is expected to make some good flights.
The new machine is fitted with differ
ent type of aviation motor from that pre-
viously used. and is different In number
of particulars from the old biplane. 1t is
intended for crcss-country machine and
is expected to make some good flights.
Naval Maneuvers in August.
4 statement has been printed to the
effect that extensive naval maneuvers
will be tried off the capes by the Allan
tic feet in August and that shooting at
box kites and balloons will be practiced
with big guns. Officers of both the army
and navy say that this is entirely untrue
When the fall target practice is held In
the navy there will probably be some
shooting at box kites. as there was dur
ing the past spring. but the shooting Will
be done with small arms and light cali
Der guns. One difficulty about using big
guns on aeroplanes even If the navy
wanted 10 try ii is that the naval guns
cannot be elevated more than Is degrees
and this would mean shooting at a flying
machine al ten or fifteen miles, even II
the aviator were accommodating enough
to come down within range.
The seacoast mortars can be elevated
about 20 degrees, but they are never like
~ to be used against aeroplanes or bal
looms. as army men say IL would be a
case of taking a sledgehammer to kill a

1t Is worse than useless to attempt
to cure constipation with cathartic
drugs. Laxatives or cathartics do
much harm. They cause reaction,
irritate, and weaken the bowels and
tend to make constipation more
chronic. Besides, their use becomes

Constipation is caused by a weak

To expect permanent relief you must
therefore tone up and strengthen
these organs and restore them to
healthier activity.
