the clouds, when the more daring aV1- ators make startling plunges through the intervening mist to catch their opponents unaware. Always there is great manoeuvring for positions, and spectators are filled with wonder at what the modern airplane can do; even to excelling the birds in their own element by flying upside down.
 Most of the fighting avaitors en- deavor to "get on the other fellow s tail" This means a position above and slightly behind the adversary, where one can fire down into him. Others, however, prefer to attack from a position almost directly under neatf1,' thinking they have steadier firing platform in climbing than in diving.
 The latter day machines have such wonderful stability that they can be brought down only by direct hits, killing the pilot or piercing the petrol tank, in which latter event the air plane generally catches fire and falls in a blazing spiral Archie" shells often blow airplanes out of the line by making <many punctures in their wings, but the machines thus damag- ed generally are brought safely home. When the history of aviation in the present war is written it will contain some of the most thrilling chapters of the strange world conflict. The British Flying Corps has established records of daring and attainment which even in the colOrless official re- ports of the corps read like fiction. Recently there have been fights on the British front in which from 60 to 80 machines were engaged. Such battles begin with individual fights and gradually develop into what the aviators term a general melee" as endorsements arrive from both sides.
 / Fighting at Close Range.
 There have been as high as 96 dis tinct fights in a. single day on this front a1one,X Near the point where the BritisH and French lines join there have been fights in which the French have. come to the assistance of the English and the English have gone to the assistance of the French to help defeat the Germans. There have been numerous engagements in which 8 British aviator has closed within 20 yards of his adversary, fir ing< point blank into him. British and French aviators, as a last resort, have deliberately crashed into a Ger man. After one instance of that sort a British aviator brought his ma- chine down with only one wing.
 On one occasion three British ma chimes deliberately dived into g. for nation of IT German machines, de- stroying two. Another time two Brit ish aviators attacked II Germans, and once a Second Lieutenant of the British corps attacked five hostile machines. He was attacked from be- hind, but turned and got in the rear of the hostile craft and keeping lon it's tail'' drove it down.
 The British aviators take great sat isfaction at the result of recent fight when they attacked German bombing squadron which was trying to cross the British lines. In the heat of the aerial combat the Germans let go bombs which fell into their own lines.

Without Gripping or
Discomfort.

Indigestion and constipation are two
conditions that are closely related and
the cause of much physical suffering.
The tendency TO indulge ones appe-
tite is more or less general and most
people suffer at one time or another
from rebellion of the OyertaXed or
gans of digestion and elimination. A
pleasantly effective remedy that will
quickly relieve the congestion of poi
sonous stomach waste and restore reg
ularity, is the compound of simple lax
atiye herbs sold in drug stores for fiji

Dr. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin. This Is
a mild, pleasant laxative tonic, free
from opiates or narcotic drugs, and
has been the standard household rene

years.
