; HouO to Help Thousands


Most everyone is anxious to help in
some way to remove pain and suffering
that is why so many homes now
have on hand, ready for instant use,
bottle of Minard's Liniment. 1t is sold
by druggists everywhere as the one de
pendable liniment for stopping pain of
all kinds. For backache, lumbago,
rheumatism, soreness, stiffness and for
sore hands and feet, Minard's Liniment
quickly and surely gives instant relief.
It is absolutely pure, entirely stainless
and cannot burn nor blister. Tt soothes
The fevered wounds and bruises and
heals BEAUTIFULLY. Be sure your bottle
is not empty. You may need it any
moment. Nothing can take it's place.

The technical questions are for experts; but the
administrative question is for the people, the congress,
the war department, the president, to meet. The army
itself is heIplessly dependent on what the civil admins
tration Of the war department, and congress, will con-
sent to do. It is incredible that reports have not been
made on the deficiencies of the army airplanes. Why
have no efforts been made to remedy them?
Airplanes have proved of great use in Mexico,
DESPITE the handicaps of poor design and low engine
power. But only eight machines were sent in and three
fourths of these have been out Of commission most
of the time. Now we learn that the four machines
newly arrived are also defective. What is the answer?
What right has the civil administration of the
army. to send brave men up in the air IN machines that
are unfit and unsafe? The matter Of money is a small
item, compared with the issues involved The Mexican
expedition is running into money at a rate of more than
100000 a week, and its total cost will hardly be less
than Il 100000 so why higgle over the investment of
100000 or 100000 in an adequate number Of high
powered modern machines for the flying corps? The
puzzle is left with readers.
There is another phase of the question that suggests
itself: Why would it not be well to establish some
flying CORPS schools hereafter in the mountain region
instead of all on the coast or in the low country OF
the interior? It is pretty well established by now that
the flying problem is very different at an elevation Of
1000 to 10000 feet or more, from what 1t is at sea
level and up to 1000 feet. And the currents in the
mountain and table land country are a study in them
selves. It is probably safe to say that any machine and
any flyer that can navigate the air in the mountain
regions can also sail safely near the sea level But
the reverse does not hold true.
1t certainly does look as if an important aviation
school should be established here or somewhere else n
the mountain region, so as to develop machines of high
power and large spread suitable for mountain work and
flying in high attitudes. The seacOast schools can do
good work with hydro-airplanes and naval scout planes;
but undoubtedly there will be work for our aviators, if
