TAKE "CASCARETS", IF
HEADACRY, BILIOUS
and C0NSTIPATED
Best for liver and bowels, bad breath,
bad colds, sour stomach

Get 1O-cent box.
Sick headache, biliousness, coated
tongue, head and nose clogged up
with a cold always trace this to tor
pid liver; delayed, fermenting food
in the bowels or sour, gassy stomach.
Poisonous matter clogged in the
intestines, instead Of being cast out
of the system is re-absorbed into the
blood. When this poison reaches the
delicate brain tissue it causes con-
gestion and that dull, throbbing, sick
ening headache.
Cascarets Immediately cleanse the
stomach, remove the sour, undigest-
ed food and foul gases, take the ex-
cess bile from the liver and carry out
all the constipated waste matter and
poisons in the bowels.
A Cascaret tonight will surely
straighten you out by morning. They
work while you sleep-a 1O-cent box
from your druggist means your head
clear, stomach sweet and your liver
and bowels regular for months.

some extent to his technical ability.
The man, whether he has marked me-
chanical ability or not, who has an in
telligent mind, is willing to work with
out having tasks assigned him and is
above all so thoroughly careful and re-
liable that an aviator can feel perfect
ly confident while flying an aeroplane
he has been working on Is desirable
for the flying corps. On account Of the
nature of the work it becomes impera-
tive to remove man who shows the
slightest signs of carelessness.
Qualifications for an enlisted pilot are
mainly physical and psychological, and
men for this position will be chosen
for their suitable qualities. In general
the man should be absolutely perfect
as regards heart, eyesight, digestion,
sense of equilibrium and nervous sys-
TEN. He should not be over thirty
years old. There should be no question
as to the quality of his nerve" This
does not mean recklessness. The man
who has undermined his constitution
with dissipation will not be chosen.
Marines assigned to the flying corps,
whether trained as pilots or not, re-
ceive 80 per cent increase ON their pay
and so cents per day for extra duty as
aviation mechanics. The crew of each
aeroplane consists of the chief me-
chanic, with rank of gunnery sergeant
or sergeant; one nOncommiSSiOned Off
Ger as motor man, one nOncommiSSion-
ed officer as plane and wire man and
two privates as helpers. From this it
can be seen that the flying corps needs
comparatively few men who are not
suitable for nOncommissioned officers.
Enlisted men in the navy flying corps
have unusual opportunities not only
for advancement in rank, but they re-
ceive an excellent mechanical course of
training which will fit them for good
position in civil life
Enlisted men assigned to aviation,
regardless of their rank, are treated as
students until they have been given
a thorough course of training in han
ding, cleaning and repairing aeroplanes
and motors on the ground They are
then trained in assembling aeroplanes
and lining them up properly. Next they
are given thorough course in disas-
sembling. cleaning. assembling and
making all adjustments to each type
OF aeroplane motor used at the station.

AVIATION SERVICE NOT
The MOST DANGEROUS
Records of Allies Show 1t Is
Fourth In the Percentage of
Casualties.

Washington. - Contrary to popular
opinion, the air service of the army, al
though perhaps the most thrilling
branch, is not the most dangerous.
Captain Aubrey Lippincott, in charge
of the personnel of the signal corps Of
the army, says the records of our al
lies put air service fourth in the per-
centage of losses. The heaviest losses
have been in the medical corps, next in
infantry and third in artillery.
Although applications have been nu-
merouS for enrolment in the six cadet
schools for flyers recently opened, Cap.
tain Lppincott says many more men
will be needed before the end of the
year. One hundred and fifty men are
trained weekly. Enough men have been
accepted to keep the schools supplied
with recruits for more than two
months, but several thousand will be
required later on, as the supply of men
must be constantly augmented.
Only small percentage Of the men
who apply for enrolment In cadet
aviation schools at the universities of
California, Texas, Illinois and Ohio,
Massachusetts Institute Of Technology
and Cornell can be accepted. The re-
quirements are stricter than in any
other branch of the service. The i'm
preston that only college graduates
are admitted is incorrect, but sub
stantial foundation for intensive tech,
nical training is necessary. 1t has oft.
en- been found that three years at col
lege or its equivalent gives a man the
knowledge which makes the training
come with reasonable rapidity.

MAY MAKE SHOE LEATHER
FROM HIDES OF SHARKS
Secretary RedfieId Hopes to Re-
duce Price of Footwear
In This Manner.

The department Of commerce has
contributed good deal already to the
governments war conservation pro-
gram, according to a statement by Sec
retary Redfield. One of the most i'm
portant problems before the depart
ment, the secretary Of commerce said,
IS that of developing leather substi-
tutes.
The department is conducting ex-
periments through the specialists of
the bureaus of standards and fisher
ies,' he stated, for the tanning Of
shark hides, porpoise, grayflsh and
grouper, with view to making them
commercially available. Some very
fine leather is made from some Of these
fish hides, and If we are successful In
this it vii. mean much to the people,
who must be shod, and will tend to
bring the prices of footwear downward
"a crisis has been averted in con.
nection with the supply of tin cans
through the development of fiber con-
tainers as substitutes, a matter Of i'm
portance to the conserving of summer
fruits and vegetables. The bureau of
foreign and domestic commerce has ap-
proved various fiber containers. which
will relieve the drain upon the can
supply, and the department is urging
the use Of the fiber containers for
products not necessarily requiring the
tin cans. This releases for use mil
lions Of cans to store food.
THE bureau Of standards has dis
covered the process by which the
Germans have been making chemical
porcelain. without which the laborato-
ries and chemists would be seriously
handicapped. That porcelain is now
being produced commercially ly in the
United States, rendering us independ-
ent of foreign markets. -
"Much assistance has been rendered
by this department to the placing of
the synthetic dye industry on its feet
Our experts have been of great help.
and the United States is now making
dyes successfully and in increasing vol
ume each month"

The world lay smiling in a dream
Until the drumming guns, the smoke
From burning cities, pillaged towns,
Upon the sleep of nations broke.
Ent we. since we had drawn the ends
OF all the earth into our heart
Confuiion wrought within our soul:
We hoped to play the neutraPs part.
The neutrars part full soon we
knew
The kaisee's ultimate device:
Tho world his altar, he the priest,
Democracy the sacrifice! -
Our dream has fed; we, too have walked
To strike with splendor, faith and power
In issue of the highest cause
That ever greatened history's hour;
Our eagles climb the crying dawn
On wings of no uncertain flight;
We set our banner, full of stars,
By yours, on wars accepted height;
The drums are reused, the bugles blow;
The die of destiny Is cast
The full decision of our days
Is yours at last! Is yours at last!

Mothers Doll Story
The Party

Once upon a time all the dolls in the
nursery decided to have a party. But
upstairs was the incest place for
party-upstairS in the garret where real
folks never came.
Now how do you think the dolls ever
got up to the attic?
Why, they rode on the backs Of the
animal crackers, of course.
Gee up" said the paper doll to the
cracker elephant. If you have never
been to the circus and ridden on the
elephants back you don't know what
fun it is to ride there
whoa" cried the niger doll to the
zebra. Just then the zebra kicked up
and almost tossed the niger doll over
his head.
Next came the rubber doll astride the
wild pigs back, and after that the wax
doll followed on a side saddle that the
cracker dog had fixed upon the giraffe.
Oh, 1t was jolly band of dolls that
trudged up the dusty attic stairs, you
may believe.
They danced and they sang. and
while the poor animal crackers were
taking nap they ate up the crumbs
OF cracker kitten that had got STEP
ped on while coming up the stairs
Just before the sun arose they alE
trudged softly back to the nursery and
got into their places again.

represented by only few aged painters
and sculptors too old to wear a uni
form.
The citys chief function in the pres
ent war is to nurse back to health the
sick and the wounded, and for this pur-
pose every villa on the wooded hills
surrounding the city has been convert
nd either into a hospital or a sani-
tarium for convalescing officers not
only of the Italian army, but of the
Servian and English as well. .....
The Florentines had never seen the
queen before, and in the street the
frail figure Of Elizabeth attracted no at
her inborn interest in hospitals and
medical clinics in general brought her
in contact with the italian Red Cross
that her identity was disclosed.
Yet when visiting hospitals nobody is
permitted to render to her the homage
due to queen. For the nurses Of the
Red Cross, as we'll as the doctors and
orderlies, the queen is simply French
countess.
Colonel d'Autremont, who accom-
panies the queen, said that three years
Of incessant work in Belgian Red Cross
hospitals and among the destitute
population of the little kingdom had
begun to tell on the queen, who is not
constitutionally very strong. A trip
abroad and long rest in different sur
roundings became imperative.
With the arrival of the queen the
public has also learned that her daugh-
ter, Princess Mary Josephine, will be
educated in Italy and at the expense
Of the italian nation. In connection
with this it is related that soon after
the English government decided to edu-
cate Prince Charles, King Albert's Sec
ond son, the italian government re-
quested the privilege Of looking after
the education Of the princess. The royal
parents accepted, and the princess, who
is a girl Of twelve, will enter the Col
lege of the Annunciata, where only
girls belonging to the nobility are as
mitted

Hours by Threatening to Jump.

people watched for two hours from be-
hind ropes that barred the street in
front of ST. James Roman Catholic
church while woman sat on the cor
nice threatening to jump. Firemen
spread nets to break her fall, police
reserves attempted to reach her, and
three priests pleaded with her from the
slylight.
Finally the Rev. Philip J. O'Donnell
reached her before she fulfilled her
threat and escorted her back through
the skylight.
AT the Psychopathic hospital she
gave her name as Mrs. Celia Vennard,

said relatives were trying to commit
her to an insane asylum. She would
