EXPLOSION WRECKS
Big U. 5. DlRICIBLE
OF ExPLOSiON-SHAKES
CANTONMENT.

Baltimore. - The big navy dirigi-
bic C-8, commanded by Lieut.. L. J.
Learned, with crew of six men and
two passengers, bound from Cape
May, N. j., to Washington, exploded
With terrific force just after landing
at Camp Holabird, near this city, to
adjust rudder trouble. The explosion
shook the cantonment and the east
ern section of the city like an earth
quake. The great balloon instantly
became a mass of flames.
Shooting flames and bits of blazing
fragments scattered over the crowd
OF nearly 200 persons, men. women
and children, who had gathered on
the camp field to see the monster
f1ier and many of whom were blown
partly across the field. Seventy-fve
persons, mostly women and children,
were burned or otherwise injured.
None of the officers or crew of the
C-8 was hurt, though several su5-
tanned severe shocks. They were at
work on the disabled rudder when
the explosion occurred The conf
mander said the explosion is believed
to have been caused by rapid expau-
sion due to heat. The bag contained
more gas than was required after de-
scending from a colder altitude temp
.erature. Lieutenant Learned was i'll

fyjng the naval authorities at Wash

trouble when the shock of the ex-
plosion nearly took him off his feet.

OPS, grows worse-the pain and dis

dawns that we have chronic storn-

The case Of Mr.. Louis Young, 205
Merrimac ST., Rochester, N. Y, Is
typical. He writes: Il suffered for
thirty years with chronic bowel
trouble, stomach trouble and hem
orrhages of the bowels. We bought
a bottle Of Peruna and took it
faithfully. I began to feel better.
MY wife persuaded me to continue
and did for some time as directed.

experience is not unusual.

what you need. Peruna comes in
either liquid or tablet form and is
sold everywhere. Your dealer has
1t or will get it for you. Ask for

Science says that old age begins with

This being true, it is easy to believe
that by keeping the kidneys and diges-

ing order old age can be deferred and
life prolonged far beyond that enjoyed
by the average person.

FINISH THE JoB-PAY THE BILL

(Bv Mrs. Marvin II. Lewis.
This is our Government. We elect
the men who make the laws. There
fore, We, are responsible. Our citizen
ship has its obligations no less than its
opportunities. y. ;,
Not only was it necessary for each
one of us to bend every energy to win
the war, it is now the duty of each
one Of US to finish the job and pay the
bill.
There are only two ways to pay it.
One is in taxes, the other by purchasing
Victory Liberty bonds. In the latter
case, we get short term interest bear
ing bond of our Government with all
the property in this country, your pro
perty and my property behind it. No
other bond is as good, no other bond is
as safe, and it is our duty to buy them.
We are careful to protect our credit
by meeting our obligations at the bank.
Are we fully as careful to protect our
credit as citizens9 Today that credit
is at stake. If we do not keep faith,
if we do not back up our Government,
if we do not pay the cost of the peace
which came sooner than anybody ex-
pected, then we are s1ackers and have
no right to enjoy the blessings Of this
great, free country.
Now, what is Victory Liberty bonds
It is more than the promise Of the Unit
ed States Government to pay a certain
fixed sum Of money and certain fixed
rate of interest at certain definite
time. It is our pledge to civilization,
to Christianity, that we shall meet our
great responsibilities growing out Of the
world war. It represents honor, truth,
freedom, justice, equality, under the
law, and the pursuit Of happiness. And
it represents these just as truly as those
brave boys Of ours, those human Liberty
bonds, who went across the sea with
the spirit Of crusaders to fight for
these priceless things.
Some months ago I picked up Louis
vile newspaper and read an account OF
the death in France Of young soldier
from wounds received in battle. A re-
porter asked that boys father if he
cared to make a statement about his
son s death, and the, father replied: ~
have nothing to say, except that my
son died doing his duty"
my son died doing his duty''-an
epitaph of the soul. -.
Are you willing to do your dutyi Are
you worth fighting fort Do you value
your citizenship Then finish the job,
pay the bill, and be truly thankful for
liberty and for peace. =
