UNIFORM WILL BE
RECOGNIZED AT STATE FAIR

The following letter has been
sent to the headquarters of the
local Red Cross Chapter from the
secretary of the Kansas State Fair:
"Will you please notify the sold
iers of the Worlds War of your
County and vicinity, through notices
in your local papers or otherwise
as you may see fit, that the Kan
sas State Fair has invited all the
veterans of the Civil, Spanish and
Worlds War to attend the State
Fair at Hutchinson on Tuesday,
September 10th free. The uniform,
G. A. R. button or other accept
able credentials will be sufficient
recognition.
The State Fair is a regularity
organized State institution the same
as the Agricultural College, the Uni
versity or other legisatively created
institutions. The war ceased since
the last session OF the State Fair
and this is the first opportunity
to show, in State way, the ap-
probation of the services of the
men who upheld the honor of our
country at home and overseas. They,
and their compatriots of other wars
! will find welcome on Tuesday, Sept.
18th.
Send to A. L. Sponsler, secretary,

At last however, the machinery was

"By an advertisement in today's

Almost continuous fair weather
marked the voyage of the Savannah
eastward. When seas became rough
and winds high the wheels were
drawn in on deck by a curious ar
rangement for which Capt. Rogers
was responsible, and the sails were
unfurled that the precious "cole"
might be saved. The ship reached
England safely with her machinery
and parts intact. But off the coast of
Ireland ambition was the cause of
its undoing. On being spied by the
kings cutter Kite. on coast patrol,
the vessel was mistaken for a ship

Right Eating for Health.
BY DIR. LORNE A. SUMMERS.

THERE are certain fundamental
principles which must be fol-
lower II we are to attain and main-
tain health OF first Importance we
place the principles of right eating.
1t has been said that the secret Of a
long and healthy life lies in the fol-
lowing: First. proper mastication.
which means thorough chewing Of all
food eaten (and if the food is thor
oughly chewed 4 person will not be
apt to eat too fasD; second. eating
moderately at all times: third, hav-
ing the diet consist Of simple. plain
foods and avoiding a great variety Of
mixtures at one meal.
The most prevalent cause Of dis
ease is overeating. The inclination
to overeat would not be SO great il
we were to confine our meals to slm-
pie foods in sufficient variety to keep
the proper balance.
The human body may be compared
to a steam engine. If the proper at
tention is given the engine in feeding
the right kind and amount of coal.

engine from performing its work.
Science has it all figured out that
the normal man requires so many
calories or heat units. and the aver
age woman so many. The rule Is hard
to apply in most cases, but here is
simple rule that can be followed with
safety: Never eat after You are en-
tirely satisfied Always leave tho
table with the feeling that you could
eat just little bit more with pleas
ure. 1t is much better to be hungry
than sorry. 1t is always well to avoid
heavy meals. The practice Of having

following labels:
The first successful flight made by

engine. using gasoline as fuel. it rose
to between 20 and 100 feet, and
travelled over half mile, at a rate
of between 20 to 25 miles an hour,
the propellers making 1900 revolu-
tions a minute.
"A second flight of about the same
distance was made the same day after
replenishinE the fuel. The total
weight OF the machine is &c pounds.
THE second successful fight Of a
machine heavier than air. driven by
its own power, was made by this
steam flying machine on November
%, 1895. over the Potomac river at
Quantico, Va.
This is a quarter size model Of the
large original Langley machine. 1t
made the third successful flight Of a
machine heavier than air. driven by
it's own power. This fight took place
August s. 1908, over the Potomac
river near Whitewater. Va. The total
weight is 5S pounds
Next is shown the original Wright
airplanc used in the United States
Army in l909l9l0. This was the
first flying machine purchased and
put into practical service by any gov
ernment. 1t flew at Fort Myer.

Evidence that the United States has
not been behind in the aviation
science Is given in French airplanes
There are two French planes which
were purchased by Ambassador Sharp
and shipped back to the United States
for study. and which. by the way,
were out of date before they got here.
The Voisin bombing plane, used in
1917. was employed by the French
army for bombing at night in the
war with Germany and was the latest
development to that date. The wings
have stretch Of ffty-nine feet.

Another French plane shown is the
Caudron. used by the French army
for photographing and reconnoiter-
ing. 1t was the latest development
Of it's kind up to late in 1917. The
stretch Of wings is forty-five feet.
There is also exhibited one of the
early Farnham planes, which were
used in 1916.
This exhibit has already been in

ing. In the metal building row being
prepared for that purpose will be
shown the most modern aircraft and
accessories produced since the dec
laration Of war by the United States
government. including engines and all
other attachments and appliances.
1t will take several months to get
this exhibit installed, but it Is ex-
pected to be one of the first and most
important Of the war collections that
will be thrown open to the public.
The Smithsonian has been prompt to
act in this matter because DR.. Wal
colt realizes that If he does not get
the machines now he never will be
able to get some Of them. They have
all been promised and the Smith
sonian force is working directly with
the general STAFF of the Army to make
the collection complete thoroughly
eduCativc.
Among the machines that will go
into the new building are the most
approved planes on which there was
quantity production to meet the war
program. and il Is these machines
that it is thought will be developed or
adjusted to meet this demands Of COM
merce during peacs days.
