AIRCRAFT MIsHAPs.

Why do aircraft behave so badly when turn
ed from the art of war to the uses of peace?
This is question a host of people are asking
and it is probable no answer is at present pos
sible. It may be that the many mlshaps at
tending the New York Chicago aerial mail serv-
ice are simply accidents incident to the expert
mental stage of any aerial enterprise. But ar
craft in the war have made as long voyages as
the relays of this service permit, have carried
heavy cargoes and reached definite goals LII
is possible that mail service will require for
regularity as large number OF aircraft as mil
tary enterprises have engaged. But there is
one advantage lacking to civilian aviation
which military aviation has enjoyed-suitable
landing places. In military flights the pilot
sought his objective and returned, if possible,
to his starting ground where he knew he was
sure of proper facility for landing his ma
chine Before we get far with regularly timed
civilian aviation services we shall have to con-
istruct large number of landing grounds, so
related as to form routes to which pilots may
become accustomed and SO placed that descent
may be safely made when mechanical defects
demand it, A number of accidents to planes in
mail service have occurred, it is reported,
through the necessity of remaining in the air
after the machine began to show signs of
trouble. Once the various projects of COM
imercial aviation engage the attention OF COM
Imunities and are determined as definitely prac-
tical and desirable, the cooperative effort to
provide proper facilities will bring results.
1t is recalled that the Cologne Gazette Of
Isweet-scented memory some two years ago said
that after the Germany would settle with

THE MAKING Of
A FAMOUS
MEDICINE
How Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound
IL Prepared For
Woman'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 great
medicine for woman S ills.
Over $50, 600 pounds of various herbs
are used annually and all have to be
gathered at the season of the year when
their natural juices and medicinal SUBJ
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 a final precaution in cleanliness
the medicine is pasteurized and sealed
in sterile bottles.
IL is the wonderful combination of
roots and herbs, together with the
skill and care used in its preparation
which has made this famous medicine
SO successful in the treatment of
female ills.
The letters from women who hav.
been restored to health by the use Of

fishing attest 10 It's virtue.
