We Arc Behind In Aviation.

Europe is in earnest In seeking the
ultimate conquest OF the air, while
America looks on as the spectator of
contest in which she was once su-
preme. The chief reason why mill
tary aeronauts fail to go ahead in
America is that the government does
not make the pursuit of the science re-
munerative enough to attract the best
qualified experts to engage in it. The
only way by which America can re-
gain her lost laurels Is for the govern
ment to pay its military birdmen lib
orally for their risks and guarantee
the support of their families in case of
disability or death. At present the
newest military arm of the service is
undermanned, inadequately equipped
and poorly paid, Notwithstanding the
fact that an American officer perfected
the most deadly bomb-dropping device
aud thereby secured for our coast de-
lenses an invulnerable offensive ally.
It is time for the government to wake
up or this question.-Philadelph

Zones of silence such as that dis

to scientists for long time. Some
years ago committee conducted a
series Of experiments IN the English

that sometimes on the clearest and

WILLING TO MAKE SACRIFICE
Darky Would Accept Offered Post,
Though He Admitted He Would
Lose Meat by Deal.

A Georgia planter was continually
missing hogs from his pen. His sus-
picion fell upon Daddy Stepney, an old
negro who lived near by, but he didn't
care to accuse the old man. There
fore he devised a scheme to put him
on his honor.
Daddy Stepney," he said one day
after he had missed couple Of fat
porkers, somebody's been stealing
hogs and l cant find out who it is.
The trouble is I haven't had anybody
to look after them. Now you live
pretty close by. Tell you what Ill do
If you'll take the job and be respon-
sible for those hogs I'll give you a
shoat every year just before KILN
time. Will you do it?"
Old Stepney scratched his wolly
head and thought long time. Then
he said:

DIDN'T KNOW
That Coffee Was Causing Her Trouble.

So common Is the use of coffee as a
beverage, many do not know that It Is
the cause of many obscure ails which
are often attributed to other things.
The easiest way to find out for one
self is to quit the coffee for while,
at least, and note results. A Virginia
lady found out in this way, and also
learned of new beverage that IL
wholesome as well as pleasant to
drink. She writes:
Il am 40 years old and all my life,
up to year and a half ago, had
been coffee drinker.
Dyspepsia, severe headaches and
heart weakness made me feel some
times as though / was about to die.

would almost stop and was SO nerv-
GUS l did not like to be alone.
IF I took walk for exercise, as
soon as was out Of sight of the house
I'd feel as If was sinking, and this
would frighten me terribly. My limbs
would utterly refuse to support me,
and the pity Of 1t all was, did not
know that coffee was causing the trou-
BILE.
Reading in the papers that many
persons were relieved Of such ailments
by leaving on coffee and drinking Post
um, got my husband to bring home
a package. We made it according to
directions and liked the first cup. Its
rich, snappy flavor was delicious.

The three men loped onward through
the darkness, weighted heavily with
disappointment.
Affairs at >the Flying Heart Ranch
were not all to Jack Chapin's liking.
Ever since that memorable foot-race,
more than month before, gloom
had brooded over the place which
even the presence Of two Smith Col
lege girls, not to mention that of Mr..
Fresno, was unable to dissipate. The
cowboys moped about like melancholy
shades, and neglected their work to

upon them. 1t was task to get any

The master Of the ranch sought his
sister Jean. to tell her frankly what
was on his mind.
"See here. Sis" he began, II don't

house-party, but l think you'd better

night like needle, then, with a
wall Of tortured soul, died away
amid discordant raspings: the voice
OF phonograph. 1t was their own,

day. when the Flying Heart Ranch

Hamlett had gone to Life to
meet his mother, who was re-
turning from Lexington, and
when the train arrived, he with
some other boys, walked across
the track, just before the train
Stopped. In fact, 1t is said that
the young man thought he was
across the track, but was not,
and before the train started was
knocked down and dragged un-
der the wheels of the engine.
He was carried to a sanitarium
in Jackson and every possible
means taken to save his life, but
died about Al hours after the acci-
dent. The remains were buried

Leads in Snuff.
Produces and
Probably Dips l1ore
Than Any Other State;

Nashville, Tenn, Feb. IA
Tennessee is the greatest snuff
producing state. Tie following
figures from the local internal
revenue office are of interest:
For the six months of the fs
cal year, .191l-l2, tax was paid
on 6,445,lll pounds; 19l2-l3,
7,724,25l pound; increase, 1919
lao pounds.
For December, 1911, tax was
paid on 1885, 1855 pounds; fer No
vember, 1912, 1,192, ,2S3 pounds,
and for December, 1912, 1902
1S4 pounds, or more than all the
other states combined.
For the month of January, 1912,
the sale of snuff stamps amount
ed to $84, ,624.25, and for January
1913, $129,575.46, an increase for
the latter month of $44, ,946. and
breaking all previous recores for
any one month.
The world will never cease to
wonder what class of people con
sumo the enormous amount of
snuff manufactured in this state.
1t has been said that the con
sumers are limited to the south
and southwest, and that the
southern negroes are more ad-
dicted to the snuff habit than
