The food we eat is like the fuel that is fed to on engine. When dur ing the forenoon following a hasty breakfast of toast and coffee you fell faint and hungry it is your body cry ing out for fuel.
 Many people who are under weight, thin, pale and run down, are actually starTing to death because they do not get the proper amount of nourish- ment from the food they eat Such people can gain weight only by taking food that is costly absorbed by the system and such a food tonic is Father yohn's Medicine which has tremendous food value.
 Scientific tests by expert chemists prove that Father Johns Medicine is six times more nonrishing than pure milk and many times more valuable as flesh building food than mony of the common articles of diet Crowded with nourishment and absolutely free from dangerous drugs and alco- hol Father Johns Medicine is recog- nized as the safest tonic flesh builder and tonic food for all the family

AIRMEN
 ESTABLISH NEW RECORD ON ENEMY

London, May 6.---Wounded British airmen back from France report that the squadron ope4ating in an fmpor- tarrt sector on the Amiens front prob ably established a record by bringing down 1O6 enemy machines in six weeks including 21 on one dayA
 The only member of the squadron wounded up to the time this man re- turned to London said it was hard work getting the German airmen to fight. Virtually the only times they would come out, he said, were when glare of the sun would be in our faces and in the evening. Even then they would slip away if they had half a chance.
 'eNearly all the machines we brought down were two seaters,'' he said. Tn fact, few of the German airmen fly anything else.
 ''The pilots like a man with a gun behind them"
 The airman said the German infan- try was bombed and machine gunned by the aviators four times a day reg ularly and that when the enemy came forward in masses they were easy prey for the air forces.
 ''We would swoop down while flying at a. speed of 130 miles an hour, firing OFT machine guns all the while. Some times we came within 50 feet of the gror1r,d. going so fast that they coul6 do nothing with us. Their machine gun fire from the ground did little danage"

MISAPPLICATION OF RULES
 IS ATTRIBUTED TO CAUSES
 OF MANY AVIATION MISHAPS

Dallas, Texas, May 6.---There is a reason for every aviation accident Sometimes it is an obvious one but too often only the dead flyer ever knew just what sent his machine crashing to the ground.
 Up to the middle of April there had been SS fatalities in the six Texas av- 1ation comps and in many of the &C., cidents that caused them no one knew just what unexpected condition, just what weakness in man or material had developed in the air. Fort Worth with it's three aviation fields and it's preponderance of flyers training un- der the British officers in the Royal Flying Corps had 49 deaths up to April IT.; Houston was next with 16.
 Crashes may be due to misapplica- tion of rules, unfamiliarity with pe- liar conditions, faulty material in tthe airplane, sudden fright seizing the aviator or mere recRlessness.
 In flying there are no brakes to ap- ply. The pilot must be alert and ready for any emergency. A plane just leaving the field has the advan- tage over plane about to land in an impending disaster. The landing plane is going much faster than the one just ''revved up.' The pilot just starting up must be careful not to misjudge his start and thus be over- taken by plane that is powerless to avoid the craJh.
 | Machines passing in the same direc- ton should have an interval of at least 200 yards to insure safety against collisions. When they are passing over and under, they must pass at a distance of at least 50 yards and those approaching a head-on pass must have at least 150 yards between them. | One of the most common reasons for accidents, as given by instructors, is disobedfence of orders. At a cer- tain height and going at a certain well defined speed, loops or dives o1 whatever maneuver is to be adopted may be made with safety. If the avi- ator disregards the laws of math- ematics in which he has been drilled and undertakes one more leap, the consequences may prove fatal.
 Landing in a cross wind is highly dangerous. It frequently causes the plane to turn completely over and pins the pilot underneath the heavy engine.
 There have been numerous deaths flight commanders say, from pilot:

THE MAKING OF \ FAMOUS
 MEDICINE How Lydia E. Pmkham's Vegetable Compound Is Prepared For
 Wonan's Use.

A visit to the laboratory where this successful remedy is made impresses even the casual looker-on with the reli- ability, accuracy, skill and cleanliness which attends the making of this greet medicine for woman ills. Over $50, 900 pounds of various herbs are used anua1ly and all have to be gathered at the season of the year when their natural juicesN9nd medicinal sub stances are at their best
 The most successful solvents are used to extract the medicinal properties from these herbs.
 Every utensil and tank that comes in contact with the medicine is sterilized and as final precaution in cleanliness the medicine is pasteurized and sealed in sterile bottles.
 It is the. wonderful combination of roots and herbs, together with the skin and care used in it's preparation which has made this famous medicine so successful in. the treatment of female ills.
 The letters from women who have been restored to health by the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Con- l pound which we are continually pub fishing attest to it's virtue.
