seems experiments were more signfi-
cant, aviation as service in the army
was apparently neglected. The idea
of protecting flying corps with steel
'armor, at one time considered, was
abandoned and was only taken up
again after German armored flying
machines had been captured.
The French also stuck to the mon
oplane until they had captured
enough Of the German biplanes to
give them demonstrative proof that
they were superior for most different
kinds Of air work. The French also
learned from the Germans that Sc
curity at great height is fallacious.
Fragments of shells reached them
even at height of $500 yards, while
at 1900 yards it is often more. diff
cult for the gunners to get the range.
The fire at that point is generally
too high.
Again, at the beginning, the
French aviation service used the
same type Of machine for all kinds
Of missions. All at once they dis

Great Business Losses Duo to
Neglect

WWlTHERS MILLER
President Of the Polk-Mlller Drug
Company, Richmond, Va, is authority
for the following extraordinary state
ment:
II estimate that the business men Of
this country could increase their eff
cheney fully ten per cent by taking an
occasional laxatiye and not ncglecting
the bowels as most Of them do"
He also said that If the Department
Of Commerce in Washington would
present each business man in the coun-
try with box Of Rexall Orlerlies, It
would be Of great benefit to the na-
tlonal welfare. Rexall Orderlies are
prompt in action, pleasant to take and
never grippe, can be used by men, wom-
en- or children. and are just the thing
for toning up sluggish livers.
