they operated their first gliding motor

attached an anvil to the biplane for
ne first flights. On the nth day OF
October, 1903, the machine flew, with
its inventor. Owing to their secrecy.
the world doubted their success until
four days later, when they publicly
demonstrated their ability to fly and
proved beyond contradiction that two
years before any other man had flown
for one minute they had flown re-
peatedly for more than twenty miles.
Perfected the BipIane.
With the perfection of the Wright
biplane, Wilbur Wright went abroad,
where he was nailed in every land as
the ingenious Yankee who really
could fly. In Paris, the native aero
nauts served only as a background
for his fame. Royalty and nobility
aonored him everywhere, but he re-

or In his own country" was a world
idol to be honored at last at home.
AT the White House honors were
showered on him and the army adopt
ed him as savior OF the nations pres
tige in aerial navigation as applied to
military manoeuvers. Dayton closed
up shop and held threeday fete in
honor of the two men who had been
known to them years agone as those
crazy Wright boys"
Never Played the Hero.
But the Wright brothers were too
busy to play the hero. They had ma.
chimes to make for the world. They
were making them in Germany, in
Scotland and in Dayton and still they
could not make enough of them.
Their business grew and they quit
flying. They taught others to fly and
soon the countryside of every state
was billed with flaming announce
ments of aviators in thrilling exhibit
tons in the Wright machine.
Wilbur Wright always counseled
caution in flying. 1t was a science
with him; not circus performance.
The heavier-than-air machine he had
ERECTED had a valuable purpose in
world advancement and his hopes for
it were most sanguine, but at the
same time conservative. The main
purpose of the biplane, he said. would
be to make short trips speedily; that
it would ever carry more than two or
three passengers or engage in freight
rattle he did not believe.

had refused 100000. his health broke

Rexall Orderlies are eaten lust like
candy, are particularly prompt and
agreeable in action, may be taken at any
time, day or night; do not cause
dlarrhoea, nausea, gripping, excessive
looseness, or other undesirable effects.
They have very mild but positive
action upon the organs with which they
come in contact, apparently acting as a
regulative tonic upon the relaxed
muscular coat of the bowel, thus over
coming weakness, and aiding to restore
the bowels to more vigorous and healthy
activity.
Rexall Orderlies are indispensable and
ideal for the use of children, old folks and
delicate persons. We cannot too highly
recommend them to all sufferers from any
form OF constipation and its attendant
evils. That's why we back our faith in
them with our promise of money back II

When Pride is Justified.

Far too many mortals are vain and self
satisfied because of some temporary mer.
cenary advantage, and in their eagerness
to display that advantage at every oppor-
tunity often destroy their greatest bless
ing, the physical counterpart of sunshine
which is their own health. Neglected
colds, irregular meals, overloaded stom-
achs and night revelry result in shattered
nerves, depressed vigor and fatigue all of
which invite decline and disease.
Each person stands sentinel at the
portals of his own health and he who
guards, protects, strengthens and builds
up rugged constitution is justified in
pride and finds therein his own recon-
pense-the capacity to enjoy the fullness
of life.
The strain of modern commercial and
social living taxes strength and energy
and in maintaining the highest self
efficiency we should not only cultivate
deep bre thing, out of door exercise,
regularity and temperance in all things,
but study the greatest of all physical
ment In this, alcoholic preparations
should be carefully Stunned and such
pre-digested nourishment as SCOTS
Emulsion which enriches the blood and
creates vitality by building, healing and
strengthening, should be selected.
SCOTS Emulsion is scientifically pre-
pared and is good for teething babies,
nursing mothers, growing children, the
aged and infirm. 1t contains no wine or
stimulent, but is wholesome and pure
and has helped millions to regain health
