constipation

Most laxatives and cathartics af-
ford only temporary relief and should
be used only for that purpose. When
you want permanent relief take Cham
beralin's Tablets and be careful to Oh
serve the directions with each pack
age. These tablets not only the
bowels, but improve the appetite and
strengthen the digestion.

mansion. standing on. tor. of its 15o-
foot hill. From that height it looked
as II it sat on a dead level.
That house. we know" said Mai
Rand, 'fs on top of hill. We know
that that would be a good place for
German field guns and that the hollow
behind the hill would probably shield
a battery of light guns. From this
height and at this angle we could
not see the flash of the guns. but by
see the flash from the muzzles and by
picking out the spot on the map /
have here, the location could be ex-
actly ascertained and our guns. by
indirect fire from behind a similar
hill in our own lines, could wipe that
German battery off the map"
Was on Lorraine Sector.
Maj Rand spent six months with
an observation squadron in the Ameri-
can lines on the Lorraine sector and
is familiar with all the tricks of bal
looming.
Our balloonists were given slight
preliminary training before being al
lowed to go up from the lines in
France" he said. But once up they
must rely on their own resources, for
their only connection with the ground
is through the wire cable which holds
the balloon to the ground, and the tele-
phone. If German plane suddenly
appears and sets the balloon on fire,
the observers only chance of escape is
to drop over the side into space and
trust in the efficiency Of his parachute,
and one Of the favorite stunts of Ger
man aviators was to take pot shots at
the man hanging to the parachute as
he dropped to the ground. Balloonists
take fully as much chance as the men
in airplanes and are absolutely de-
fenseless against attack, the only
guard being the anti-aircraft guns be-
low them"
From the balloon the winding. sill
yer streak of the river as far north
as Great Falls could be seen and in
the dim distance the mountains
through which the Potomac flows at
Harper's Ferry could be made out in
the blue haze with the aid of field
glasses. Far down the river a small
steamer was making its way north,
and Washington's mansion at Mount
Vernon was discernible through the
field glasses.
They Escape Danger.
After having been in the air TWEEN
ty-five minutes, Maj. Rand gave the
order to haul down, and smoothly
swinging from side to side, the big
balloon approached the ground. From
the 1,601-foot level it took eight min
utes to reach the earth. When the
balloon got about 200 feet from the
truck on which the wire cable was
being wound, gust of wind from the
east suddenly forced the big bag out
over the river. The cable motor was
Immediately reversed and the bal
loon rose again to 500 feet. This
was done, Maj. Rand explained, to
avoid cutting the cable on the sharp
sides of the drum on which the cable
is wound.
Finally the soldiers of the 2Sth bal
loon section, in charge of the ascen-
sions in Potomac Park, got hold of
the thirty-odd ropes which dangle
from all sides of the bag and hauled
the balloon down so that the basket
touched the ground and the journey
was over.
