Every person in this section who
suffers from rheumatism in any
form in invited to read the story Of
Mrs. A E. Deane, the we'll known
resident of 1912 Marion Street, Co.
lunbia.
Mrs. Deane was victim of this
dread malady up to short time
ago. She thought her case was hope
les: until she discovered an herb-and-
root medicine that proved to be just
what she needed. She tells about it
in her own way. This is what she
says:
Il had rheumatic arthritis and my
knee was so stiff / could not bend my
right limb. I could walk very little.
I often had to stand on one foot on
account of the pain in my knee. But
all this is over now because / have
discovered a recipe that proved to
be Just what I needed. Just as I was
about to give up hope Of ever getting
rid of the pain I found new root
ard herb medicine called. Dreco. /
tock just one bottle Of Dreco and the
pain is gone. Now can bend my
knee as well as ever and walk any
distance -.

u. "A. BORON, ana fr1V2te 0dnoeTS.
From the elaborate artillery prep
aration, the size of the box barrage
and the extensive front occupied,
the coup de main attempted by the
enemy was clearly intended to be on
a rather extensive scale.
Whatever may have been the OBJ
iect of the attack it was successful
ly frustrated. No enemy party sue
ceeded in getting within assaulting
distance or any part of the line ex-
cept at one point and here they
were quickly pressed back and then
driven Oft The shell-torn condition
of the ground tells of the fierceness
of the action. That the enemy suf-
fred considerably in casualties is not
doubted, as some Of their groups
pushed close into the machine gun
fire, but as their men fell they were
carried off. The casualties on oul
side were small and none Of them Sc
rious.
The chief importance Of the actor
| was in bringing this American unit fo'
the first time under fire and demon
strating the steadincss and fighting
ability of the men.

San Juan, Porto Rico, August 10
Charges of favoritism in the work
ing Of the selective draft by which
well-to-do young men escaped mill
tary service have been investigated
and report of the facts ascertafned
has been sent TO Governor Yager by
Attorney General Kern. AS yet the
authorities are not prepared to make
it public.
The adjutant general of Porto Rico
John A. Wilson, in commenting on
the question of favoritisna, said that
he had personally investigated q
number of accusations against local
boards made to him in letters and
that, so far, he had not found a case
where exemption had been granted
or men had not been called because
Of unfair or dishonest action on the
part of the boards.
Frequently Investigations have
shown that a charge was made in
haphazard, irresponsible fashion
without any effort to learn the facts
in the case.

JAMES 3. M'CUDDEN.
English Flyer With Il Record of 5:
Hun Machines.

London, July 25 Correspondence
Of The Associated Press)-Ma]or
James, 3. McCudden, recently Killed
in an aviation accident, was an ex-
tremely reticent boy who hardly look
ed his % years but who, within ut
tie more than two years of flying had
won a long string of decorations and
had come within two victories of be-
ing the premier flier of the British
and Canadian forces. He was IN
Quest of these victories when killed.
While with a party of friends in
London one night shortly before his
death he lamented the fact that ne
soon was to be ordered to instruction
work and probably would not have
another opportunity to better his rec
ord of 50 Hun machines. He conhded
to friends however that he planned
to slip across the, channel soon from
a British aerodrome and attempt to
down two more German machines be-
fore he settled down to the safe IN
structiop work.
McCudden's flying peer is a Ca
madam with a record of So but who
has been transferred from combat to
instruction work. 1t was this situa-
ton coupled with the fact that he
was so close to gaining the highest
flying honors that stirred young Nc
Cudden to his last fatal effort.
True to his plans he drove fast
battle-plane from British aerodrome
to France and was flying toward the
German lines at a low altitude when
his M chine crashed to the ground.
Those who witnessed the accident are
certain something happened to the
airplane but the real cause Of his
death may never be known.

FLYING BECOMING SAFE.
Veteran Aairman Explains Some Of
The Tricks Fliers Learn.

An American Aerodome in Eng
land, August 15-(Correspondence
of the Associated Press)-Flying in
the air is becoming rapidly more safe,
veteran instructors at the British
American aerodromes in England tell
their pupils. The proportion OF
casualties during training in the Air
Force are now no higher, they say
than in any other branch Of COM
batant service.
During three years flying eX-
perience I haye seen upwards of fifty
crashes, but I have not yet seen any
man receive more than skin-deep in
juries as the result of these crashes, y
declared Lieutenant L. Walmsley, OF
the Royal Air Force. in a talk with
American airmen recently.
Probably my experience has been
unusually fortunate, but statistics
showthat the proportion of fatalities
to crashes is extraordinarily small.
Some of the first airplane acci-
dents were due to the collapse Of the
machine in mid-air, and because the
pilot in those days was merely
strapped to a board or strut, without
any covering whatever, the results
were mostly fatal. The Introduction
Of the fuselage or body, made strong
~ Of steel and wood, in which the
pilots and passengers seats were
placed, made it possible for an air
plane to fall from great heights
without the occupants being killed.
Because Of the central position Of the
fuselage, this is always the last part
to feel the effects Of a crash, the main
force of which is broken by the un-
dercarriage and planes, which act as
buffers.
1.-TWO days after I joined the Royal
Force saw machine come down in
a giddy spinning dive and land
squarely on the root Of one of the
hangers. The pilot climbed out and
lighting cigarette, calmly asked if
the other machine" was ready.
During the next few weeks, I saw
no fewer than five crashes, and not in
a. single case was either pilot or OBJ
server hurt
''Since then, in nearly three years,
of flying, I must have seen perhaps
fifty crashes. I have seen airplanee.
crash into hangers. stone walls,
houses, lamp-posts, trenches. motor
lorries and bridges Personally
have crashed into bar IN a tennis
court, in flooded field, and into
tropical forest; the last at a speed Of
so miles an hour. And in all these
adventures, I have not yet seen
man receive anything worse than a
skinned nose as the result of
crash. and the only wound ever
got myself was made by a thorn from
prickly pear bush.
An airman can usually tell when
crash is inevitable. and like light
ming he must make up his mind how
he can use his undercarriage and
planes if necessary, to best advant-
age. first of all to save the life of his
observer and his own and if possible
to save the engine. the most valuable
part of the machine
He may have to pancake into a
patch Of bush, or he may have to fly
between two trees and
strip his wings; but SO long as he
keeps his head the chances of max |
ing a successful crash are greatly in
MS favor

NONE IF THESE GOODS
 STOLEN IN PHOENIX

After a careful inspection of more than $1,000 worth of merchandise be- lieved by the Nogales police to have been stolen, Detective Grove of the Phoenix police returned to the city from Nogales yesterday to report that none of the goods corresponded with goods stolen from the New York and other stores in recent burglaries and shopliftings.
 Louis R. Ruelas, formerly a cook in one of the leading hotels in Phoenix, is under arrest in Nogales, charged with committing a felony. The Nogales police advance the theory that Ruelas has been acting as a sort of clearing house for stolen goods on their way from American cities to Mexico. Grove said that the Nogales police have proof that much of the merchandise. includ- ing silverware and jewelry. was stolen in San Francisco and other coast cities.
 They also told Grove that they have goods already has passed over the bor- proof that a large quantity of such der through the hands of Ruelas.
