LOST ABOVE THE CLOUDS
Participants in BaIo0:": Race Relate
Thrilling Experience Were

| Cleveland, Ohio. H. Wade, Jr.,
| the young Cleveland millionaire, who,
with Lieutenant Frank Lahm Of Mans
| field, Ohio, participated in the inter
national balloon race for the James
Gordon Bennett cup trophy, in the
balloon Buckeye. has returned to
| Cleveland and relates a thrilling story
of their perilous flight. Lost for
hours in darkness high above the
| clouds, driven miles by terrific
gale, forced to the ground by heavy
rain and dragged through woods and
across fences, were some of their ex-
periences of late last week. They
finally were compelled to land in the
center of the Wisconsin flood dis
trict, having covered 365 miles and
having been in the air nine hours.
Starting at 6 o'clock" said Mr.
Wade, before dark we were high
above the clouds. For hours we flew
through darkness and intense cold.
After midnight we ran into a yeritable
tempest. The rain weighed the bal

steadily despite out throwing out bal
last. The wind was blowing fifty
miles an hour. Drenched to the skin
and blinded by the wind and rain we
were almost helpless. The rain was
holding us down, while the wind was
sweeping us onward.
Owing to the darkness, wind, rain
and clouds, we never knew where we
were going. 1t was growing too
to keep going. Now we
were swinging over fields, going
through fences, splashing in great
puddles of water, blowing through
thick woods, or just missing striking
farm buildings
Soon we threw out our anchor in

RASH ALL OVER BABY's BODY
Itched So He Could Not Sleep

ION July ~, 1908, we left Boston for
trip to England and Ireland, taking
baby with us. After being in Ireland
few days a nasty rash came out all
| over his body. We took him to doc
tor who gave us medicine for him.
The trouble started in the form of a
rash and was all over baby's body,
head and face, at different times. It
irritated, and he would scratch it with
all his might. The consequence was
1t developed into sores, and we were
afraid it would leave nasty scars on
his face
When we reached England we took
baby to another doctor, who said his
condition was due to change of food
and climate, and gave more medicine.
The rash got no better, and it used to
Itch and burn at night so bad that the
child could not Sleep He was CON-
pletely covered with it at different
times. 1t was at this time that my
mother advised us to try Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. After using Cuti-
cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment for
about nine months the places disap-
peared. There are not any scars, or

One of the items OF ship news pub
lished in Philadelphia papers is to
the effect that ton of quinine. in
capsules. has just been shipped to
Brazil
A few years ago our tariff rate on
Peruvian bark. from which quinine
is made, was SO high that sick folks
were forced to pay IS an ounce for
quinine. There was no possible
protection" reason for any such
duty. as the bark was not produced
could not be produced-in this coun-
try.
Finally the duty was removed and
the price of quinine fell to 10 cents f1
ounce,
Now, as shown by the Philadelphia
news item. we are able to manufac-
ture the quinine, put it up in capsules
and export It by the ton-right back
to the section from which the bark
comes.

How Prohibltory Tariff, Falsely
Called protective" Works Under
Business Methods That Are
at Present In Vogue.

What should easily be shown as an
unreasonable" restraint OF trade
exists In the case OF the International
Paper company If the detailed state.
ment made by Mr. Norris in behalf OF
the American Newspaper Publishers
association be true. He told the SEN
ate committee on tinance-where Sen
ator Roots friends are trying with
his help to defeat Canadian reciprocity
by defeating the wood pulp and paper
clause-the old familiar story of
trusts and combines. Bankrupt and
lantiquated paper mills have been
brought up and taken in" while by
agreement a reasonable purchaser OF
print paper is deprived OF an opportu'
nifty to buy paper at fair market
prices. Production Is restricted to 81
per cent. OF modern equipment. while
dividends are paid on the combined
capital of $4O,O0O,0O0. Prices are
marked up secretly and purchase at
the mills is refused, the reason OF the
latter being that the paper makers
do not want a public quotation oil
prices. Dovetailing with these tried
and true trust IN ethods is the practice
OF shutting down work at mills In this
country leaving much labor idle
while Canadian mills are allowed to
sell here to their advantage and tc
that OF Canadian labor.
There are other features. such as a
gigantic. woodland speculation by this
International Paper company. which
is now in the words of Mr.. Norris
asking congress to put premium
on the antiquity of plants in mills
that were verging on bankruptcy thtr
teen years ago." The whole situation
in brief. is that of a close combine
controlling the American market
making prices in secret. shutting out
American labor In idleness, restrict
ing the use of paper and paying divi
dends on an enormous capitalization
while the capacity represented In do
ing this amounts to only IS per cent
Of modern equipment. To "cinch'
this situation the combine is having
the help OF American senators to
break the proposed reciprocity agree
ment.
There is nothing new in all this u
is the old. old story OF the workings
Of a prohibitory tariff called pro
tective." It is retold because OF the
efforts now Of the American people
to give themselves bit of freedom
to buy at normal prices. This effort
OF lnonopoly may not fail here and
now. brit It is on the road to failure

as soon as the first nodules are

fowls have. been known to recover
without any treatme emit. Insanltary
conditions and dampness seem to
cause the disease.
Treatment.-As 1t II a contagious
disease. the affected birds should be
removed from the flock Immediately.
II the nodules are removed with a
sharp knife. and the affected PARIS are
treated with carbolated vaselfne, the
birds should recover in a few. days.
If the case is very far advanced the
sick fowls should be given few
grains each OF sulphur and cream Of
tartar three times a day, and oxide
Of zinc ointment should be applied to
the affected parts twice day The
latter treatment Is recommended by
Doctor Lehman, and has proved a sat
