distance OF 120 miles. The balloon was
piIoted by c. H. Roth and c. A. Wollen
Of Akron, and made the trip in three
hours and forty-fire minutes.
The balloon was of the dirigible type,
shaped like large cigar, but carried
no motive power. 1t was steered by
means of planes and the trip was made
for the purpose of testing the steering
elevating and lowering planes to DEM
onstrate their liability for practical
purposes.
The pilots. in speaking of their trip
said that Ii was the first time that
such trip in balloon so equipped
had ever been attempted in this coun-
try, and that the idea is a new and un-
developed one in Europe. They said
that the fast time and perfect control
maintained over the airship proved
their contention as to the practical
worth of the planes for their purposes
In handling a lighter-than-air machine
without motive power.
The balloon was shot at over farm
in Green county, the pilots said. but
ballast was thrown overheard and the
machine rose out OF range without suf-
fering damage.

Declare Peace Under American
Auspices Could Never Be a

MENACE IN ATTITUDE
OF OFFICIALS HERE SEEN
Maj. Moraht Declares This Country
Is Coolly Calculating Promoter
of Allied Resistance.

AMSTERDAM, Holland. September'23.
cules Prince Alexander of Hohenlohes
recent article in the Neue Zuricher lei
tung, in which he reached the conclu-
sion that Pope Benedict and President
Wilson must bring about peace if gen.
eral European bankruptcy is to be
avoided, and also expressed the belief
that cessation of American supplies of
munitions to the allies would be fol-
lowed mechanically by the cessation of
the war.
Basis for the, New Attack.
The Tages Zeitung makes the article
a basis for new attack upon President
Wilson and Ambassador Gerard, point
ing out what it declares have been the
repeated declarations of the President,
Secretary of State Lansing and the am
bassador, that 1.-The duty of the United
States is to interfere as a mediator and
participate in the peace negotiations.
not as mediator, but actively, just as
one of the belligerents."
The newspaper declares that this at
titude menaces Germany, and con-
tinues:
Peace under American auspices
could never be German peace, but
would contain in itself German depen-
dence upon the United States, and
Herewith upon our enemies
Expects War to Continue.
Maj. Moraht, in the Berliner Tage-
blatt. speaks of the fighting on the
Somme as raging to and fro, and con-
tinues:
Something in this may perhaps change
the course of things during the autumn
or winter. but at present we must reckon
with continuation of the struggle. The
enemy is still standing. If America. the
coolly calculating promoter of all the re-
sistance, does not desist from this bloody
business. then only victory of the cen
trail powers can bring the enemy to
recognition that the endless continuation
Of the struggle in Europe only serves

A Reuter- dispatch from Bern says the
federal council. having received various
requests for Swiss intervention in favor
Of peace, has decided to recommend that
these suggestions be not acquiesced in.

SUGGEST|ONSTO
SICK WOMEN
How Many Are Restored To
Health.

First Almost every operation in
our hospitals performed upon women
becomes necessary through neglect of
such symptoms as backache, irregular
and painful periods, displacements, pain
in the side, burning sensation in the
stomach, bearing down pains, nervous
ness, dizziness and sleeplessness.
Second.-Themed;cine most success
full in relieving female ills is Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. It
regulates and strengthens the organism;
it overcomes disease.
For forty years it has been making
women strong and we'll, relieving back
ache, nervousness, liberation and in
flammation, weakness, displacements,
irregularity and periodic pains. 1t
has also proved invaluable in prepar-
ing for childbirth and the Change of
Life.
Third.-The great number of unso-
licited testimonials on file at the Pink
ham Laboratory at Lynn, Mass, many
of which are from time to time published
by permission, are proof of the value of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, in the treatment of female ills.
Fourth.-Every ailing woman in the
United States is cordially invited to
write to the Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine
Co. (confidentiaD, Lynn, Mass, for
special advice. 1t lis free, will bring you
health and may save your life.

OF INTEREST TO THE WOMEN
THEIR MARRIED LIFE"

girls tall slim figure; the blue skirt
and the simple white blouse low at
the throat, her hair was loose in tum-
bled waves of glory, and it was a long
time before Helen forgot the picture
she made standing there.
What's that you say?" Frances said
a little sharply. 81 can't hear you"
And then all the color fed from her
cheeks and she trembled little. Yes,
understand, you want me to come
right over He is asking for me?
Very well, l will come And she
hung up the receiver with a little
click
What is it dear" said Anne, ten
derly, hurrying over to Frances, where
she leaned for a moment against the
wall.
Helen sat perfectly still. Something
told her that the only thing in the
world that could make Frances look
like that was Avery Atwood.
Frances was almost herself again
in a moment She Strengthened UP
and walked quickly into the tiny bed
room followed by Anne and Helen.
You might as we'll know" she said
slipping into her coat and the hat
that she had just taken off, its Carp. y
That word Carp told a volume, and
Helen felt the tears spring to her
eyes.
He's been hurt" Frances voice
went on. "and he is asking for me. OF
course 1 must 60"
Frances spoke almost tonelessly.
She did not give way to any emotion.
Anne offered to go with her, but she
shook her head.
NO, I'll take a taxi, don't need
anyone. I want to think"
1T was only when she was leaving
that she gripped Helen's hand close
and whispered:
\ Tragic Thought
What if he should die? He mustn {
die Helen. I couldn't bear it,
Then she was gone, and Helen and
Anne turned and faced each other.
Helen hardly knew what to say be-
cause she was not aware of how much
Anne knew about the situation. Anne
evidently surmised this and she said
simply.
Il know all about it, Helen. I
couldn't live here with Frances and
not know that she was unhappy. Why,
she does nothing but work; she is al
most feverish about it as though she
hated to give her mind a minute for
anything but the things she writes. If
it could have been someone else! oh,
if it only could have been someone
else"
And Annes cry was echoed in Hell
ems heart. Why was it that Frances,
beautiful, talented Frances, with her
capacity for feeling and her elements
of greatness should have fallen in love
with a man that she could not marry 4?
1t seemed a hard, terrible thing, a
thing Helen could not understand.

story will appear here soon.)

can arise in any ones mind not an
tagonistic to the real facts that they
are not used for any purpose of adul-
teration or deception.
Some of the reasons for their use
are as follows:
At this point the advertisement in
dulged in statements of a kind that
from food faddists, muckrakers, and
sensational journalists. These words
are quoted verbatim:
In the leavening OF bread the
yeast, besides forming the gas, carbon
dioxide, which makes the bread light,
also forms alcohol and certain by
products which in the similar process
of fermentation of grains to form
whiskey we call fusel OIL
This fusel oil is a very poisonous
and rather disagreeable smelling oil.
This action takes place whenever
bread is raised by yeast whether in
the household or in the bakery.
The amount of fusel oil and GER
tain other disagreeable acid products
thus formed is very small, but has its
effect upon the bread and certainly
does not make the bread any more
wholesome.
I'm the new process the amount of
these fusel oil products is dimin-
ished almost to the vanishing point.
The result is a bread with better
taste, odor, color, texture, and flavor,
and a more wholesome bread because
of the absence in this process of these
small amounts of Objectionable prod
ucts"
These statements, astonishing as
they appear to be on the surface,
really mean that the many millions
of loaves of bread baked by the Ward
bakery prior to the discovery of It's
yeast food powder contained the very
poisonous and rather disagreeable
smelling fuel oil and certain other
disagreeable acid products which de-
velop in all bread in which the Ward
yeast powder is not used.

A NEW FRUIT SALAD
BY Constance Clark

Fruits salads are steadily growing
in favor, and nothing is more health
full or delicious than judicious mix
ture of fruits with delicate dressing.
The following receipt is new, and
makes tempting salad: Take three
apples, chopped fine, the sliced pulp of
one grapefruit, six canned pears, cut
into small squares. three stalks of
celery, half a cup of chopped walnut
meats. Mix we'll together, arrange in
a pile on platter with thick mayon-
naise dressing.
Dressing-to three-fourths of a cup
of thick mayonnaise, add two table
spoonfuls of lemon juice, a saltspoon-
full of paprika pepper, pour the dress
ing on the salad, using a pastry tube
with plain round pipe to decorate the
ton.

I'm dead tired" said Frances, slip
ping the strings of her shopping bag
over her arm. Lets go home and
I'll make some tea. have some fresh
rice cakes, too, and you know you are
crazy about them"
Helen did not need much urging and
the two made their way to the tiny
apartment which Frances and Anne
Redding shared together.
Have you selected your place YETI"
Helen inquired as they entered the
lobby.
the latter part of June. That is / am
going to have all my things taken over
and in a general sense take possession
before I go out to Kansas"
Frances fitted the key into the lock
of her apartment and suddenly it was
opened from within and Anne's laugh
ing face peered out. II thought that
was you" she said delightfully."-. "Hel-
en- Curtis, where have you been? I
thought you had deserted Jack and
me-"
Helen laughed. "I knew you were
busy, dear, but Warren and 1 want to
have you up to dinner some night next
week Frances, you must come, too
and I'll get some man for you to flirt
with
We'll, not DR.. Marshall" Frances
protested "and I'll promise. l can't
firt with DR.. Marshall, actually
haven't the temerity, he is so young
and full of illusions"
Wouldn't one think her terribly
cynical?" laughed Anne. and we
know that she isn't at all, don't we
Helen2"
Helen sank into one of the COM
Portable chairs and watched Frances
pour the alcohol into the lamp and
adjust the brass kettle.
Il have something for you, Anne"
she said suddenly reaching for a par
eel.
For me? How lovely. Every one
is being so good to me. What is it ?"
And Anne, with trembling fingers un-
wound the wrappings and disclosed a
dainty lace scarf.
That's just a little gift from me,
the gift of silver was from both Mr..
Curtis and myself" But" protested
Frances, its too much, really Helen
you oughtn't to do so much for me-"
Something to Eat
Helen laughed and at that moment
Frances returned with a silver dish
filed with preserved ginger and
plate of rice waters.
There's the telephone, Anne" she
said, as she sliced the lemon with a
tiny knife. "I know it's for YOU"
And Anne tripped lightly over to the
telephone and took the receiver from
the hook.
ITS for you dear" she said, after a
few preliminary words. Il can't make
out the voice"
Frances put down her tea things
calmly and crossed over to the tele-
phone. Helen could not help noticing
how the late afternoon sun touched the

NEW POTATO METHODS

New potatoes when they are still a
little unusual. are a very interesting
vegetable. Here are some of the
methods of preparing them that add
to their interest:
One of the best ways of cooking
them is to steam them. They should
be freed from skin and placed in the
top part of a steamer and cooked until
they are tender
A good way to boil new potatoes is
to scrape them and put them in cold
water with a sprig OF mint and then
boil them till done. The mint adds a
delicious flavor.
Boiled or steamed new potatoes can
be rolled in melted butter and chopped
parsley and sprinkled with pepper and
salt.
Fried new potatoes are novel pre-
pared in this way: Scrape the potatoes
and then with sharp knife begin cut
ting them as If you were pairing them,
around and around in a long spiral.
Fry this in deep, hot fat The spiral
should be as long as possible.

EVEN GLOVES
ARE STRIPED

This has truly been a great season
for stripes. The short woman has
been grateful for the vogue, and the
tall woman has, too for that matter,
for she can wear the real broad
stripes and can afford to have them
running every which way. Everything
possible has shown the effect of the
stripe craze. The latest thing is a
pair of silk gloves having wrist sec
tions of black-and-wnite striped silk.
The effect is very pleasing, especially
when the gloves are white and show
black stitching.
Silk gloves are coming more into
prominence. They are splendid for
the summer season, because they are
comfortably cool, and yet they give
the dressy effect of Kid gloves An
other good feature is the fact that
they can be cleaned at home with
soap and water.
