WHEN FOES MEET IN AIR
German Lieutenant TIls of Engage

Lost Their Lives.

"One afternoon a French flyer ap-
peared," says German lieutenant
1T circled over Douaumont and then
rose high above the clouds. For q long
time it seemed to be just hanging in
the mir. And then-from our side there
arose a buZZing, fierce, sharp buzz
zing, and it made straight like bee
line for the little French flyer. 1t
went through the clouds and disap-
peared. Nothing could be seen. The
clouds covered all. Five minutes of
suspense passed, and then shot and
after that a roaring. We waited
breathlessly, and then two little black
spots were seen breaking through the
clouds. Tiny little spots, and these
spots were the two French aviators.
They grew bigger as they fell. Asmo-
ment after the men came the flaming
machine. 1t came down rearing and
crashing. Its wings were yet on fire.
and the red, white and blue Of the
trieolors looked like revolving
American barber pole. Everything
crushed to the earth, hopeless, man
gled mass. Again a spot broke through
the clouds. 1t came swift and straight,
without any spectacular Showing. r

Tho Human Limit In Quackery.

None can blame the often poor and ig-

these quacl1s. Recovery from the Gripping

of months and years No honest phvs-

The unscrupulous greed of the medical

Its willingness to play upon the natural

crippled limbs of little children into dol

depths of depravity seem to have been

Railroads. Perpetually In Trouble.

From the Christian Science Monitor.
Whatever sentiment Is now evident in

political relationship. has not by any
means been confined to the employees. It
has not been confined to stockholders or
been confined to passengers or to ship
pers. 1t has been shared by the public.
and by the government which the public
has set up and maintains at Washington.
A great part Of the time of congress, Of
the courts and Of the executive depart
questions growing out of unsatisfactory
railroad management In a period as
busy as any the United States has ever
known. tens of thousands of miles of rail-
way are in the hands of receivers. Re-
CARELESS of immense net earnings add-

An this is leading public thought to con-

railways management, to protect the
travelling and shipping public against rail-

own folly, it would not be better to ma

GOD PRESSURE DIET.

In the Interstate Medical Journal DR..
II. W.. Soper gives his opinions on nisn
blood pressure. He thinks that eating
too much meat is a large factor IN every
case and the largest factor, py lat, Ia
some cases.
He has been successful in reducing
blood pressure by dieting. A person
with a high blood pressure is given tho
following diet list:
One glass of cold water upon arising.
Breakfast.
Oranges or grapefruit.
Cereals with cream.
Eggs, soft boiled, poached, omeletlo.
Toast and butter.
One cup hot water favored with
cream.
II a. m. one glass OF cool water.
Lunch.
Orange or grapefruit.
Cream vegetable soup (no meat

Stewed white onions. oyster plant,
carrots, celery, spinach, asparagus

boiled egg plant, okra, or corn.
Raw celery, onions, tomatoes, owes

Custards, gelatins, cornstarch, tap

Bed time, one glass cool water.
Avoid all condiments, such as mus

sugar, little salt, and no pepper. Az
vegetables should be we'll cooked with
out the addition of meat, fat, or sugar.
The keynote of the treatment is tho
quantity Of protein taken. In nine cases
cut of 10 he restricts his patients to 400
grains of meat . lay-a little less than
one ounce. \ few took 6VO grams ana
very few $50 grains.
1t is Impossible to diet for high blood
pressure without weighing the amount
of meat eaten. The amount of pro-
tein allowed was 900 grains in the aV-
erage case. One or two patients got
as high as 1900 grains. Besides the
meat and eggs, the foods in the above
dietary which are rich in proteins are
toast cereals, bread and cream.
II the patient will weigh the amount
of bread, cereal and cream he can eat
about as freely as he wishes OF the ar
ticles on the above diet list.
Constipation must be over come when
present.

toms and had an average fall of 40

A New Meaning to Parole.

FROM the Phlladelph1a Pubnc Ledger.
The parole Of prisoner Of war Is uni
versally recognized by civilized nations as
his word of honor. When, therefore, the
German government. replying to Mr.
Of German naval officers informed in this
country in breaking their parole and es-
Gaping to their own country to serve
again in It's armed forces. tries to draw
a distinction between an assurance or
pledge and a word of honor it INDUCES IN
unworthy quibbling and lays itself open
to the retort that ''t does not appreciate
fully the seriousness Of the obligation as
sumed." These German officers had ex-
ceptional privileges because of the conn.
dence of the United States government
that they could be trusted not t. abuse
them. Now that this confidence IS shown w
to be misplaced, it is very properly with
confinement to their ships: What Is this
curious moral blight which has led

rest Of mankind?

What do you care for the insinua-

not to worry. Surely after all these
years he can't be injured in reputation
by-by an adventurer."
Yes, he can be injured" replied
Floyd, quickly. The frontier is a queer
place. There are many bitter men here

she went on. There was no other sound
like her voice. will you take my
hand? Will you forgive me-"
She gave it royalty, while the other
was there pressing at her breast. Duane
took the proffered hand; he did not
know what else to do.
Then it seemed to dawn upon him
that there was more behind this white,
sweet, noble intensity of her than just
the making amends for a fancied or
real wrong. Duane thought the man
did not live on earth who could have
resisted her then.

1t seemed to Duane that she must
have discovered what he had begun to
suspect-that her father and Lawson
We're not the honest ranchers they pre-
tended to be. Perhaps she knew more.
Her appeal to Duane shook him deeply.
He wanted to help her more than he
had ever wanted any thing. And with
