STUNT FLYING.

Although stunt flying has been discour-
aged by American military officials, the
aerial duels of Europe and the amazing
maneuvers to get in range or out of range,
show that thorough control of an airplane
in every position that it might possibly find
itself, is necessary for the safety. of the
pilot and the successful discharge Of his
mission; and that the lesson is not lost in
this country, is indicated by a recent edi-
torial in the Naval Flying Monthly, Of the
Pensacola Aeronautic Station, advocating
that "stunts" be included in the regular
training course Of the school, We quote:

Mine Fatalities for Year
Are Far Under Record

Washington, Feb. 23.-Fewer men
were killed in American mines acci-
dents in 1916 than in any one of the
previous nine years, despite the fact
that the year just closed was the busi-
est and most prosperous in the his
tory of coal mining, with the great
est tonnage ever taken from the earth
and more men employed in the in
dustry than ever before. There was an
army of more than 100000 toilers en-
gagged I'm this industry during the year.
Announcement to this effect was made
by Van II. Manning, director of the
United States Bureau of Mines. Facts
standing out in the information just
collated by Director Manning were:
THE number of men killed was g.
225, which is forty-four less than in
1915 and 229 less than in 1914 and
$50 less than in 1918. There were
65,000,000 more tons of coal mined
and there were more men employed
than in 1915. The death rate for each
/ zoe men mployed-3. OBS the
lowest in the last eighteen years, at
which time about half as many men
were employed.
There were 269,OOO tons of coal
mined for each life lost, which is the
greatest tonnage per fatality in the
history of the United States. The in
crease in tonnage for each life lost is
nearly 5000 tons over the year 1915"

What the Doctor Knows
KIDNEYS MUST BE RIGHT
TO INSURE HEALTH.

Few people realize to what extent
their health depends upon the condi-
ton of the kidneys.
The physician in nearly all cases OF
serious illness, makes chemical an
alysis of the patients urine. He knows
that unless the kidneys are doing their
work properly, the other organs can
not readily be brought back to health
and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected
or abused in any way, serious re-
suits are sure to follow. According
to health statistics, Bright's Disease,
: which is really an advanced form of
kidney trouble, caused nearly ten
thousand deaths in one year, in the
State of New York alone. Therefore,
1T is particularly necessary to pay
more attention to the health of these
important organs.
An ideal herbal compound that has
had remarkable success as q kidney
remedy is DR.. Kilmers Swamp Root,
the great kidney, liver and bladder
remedy.
The mild and healing influence Of
this preparation, in most cases, is
soon realized, according to sworn
statements and verified testimony of
those who have used the remedy.
When your kidneys require atten-
ton, get Swamp-Root at once from
any pharmacy. 1t is sold by every
druggist in bottles of two sizes-56c
and S1.0O.
However, if you wish first to test
this great preparation send ten cents
to DR.. Kllmer & Co, Binghamton
N. Y, for sample bottle. When writ
ing be sure and mention the Harris
burg Daily Telegraph.
