Colds do not have to "run their
course if properly treated. A cold
is caused primarily by an inactive
liver; an inactive liver disorders the
kidneys, and the blood catches the
impurities that these organs have
failed to eliminate.
To simply purge the liver isn't suf-
ficient- you're only treating a third
of your troubles-the quickest way to
prevent or cure cold is by treating
the liver, kidneys and blood all at
the same time with DR.. Hitchcock s
Liver, Kidney & Blood Powders.
In cases of constipation, bilious
ness, Indigestion, gas, sour stomach,
headaches, rheumatism, ETC., the same

brief note signed "Civic Improvement

ne individual, taking the fire depart
ment to task for not keeping up in

of the county Jail, adjoining the fire
station. Chief Naylor, besides de-
claring he would like to know who
wrote the letter, offers the explana-
ton that in past years the firemen
have kept up this plot, buying flow

expenses there were, out of their own
pockets, something they feel they
cannot do now at present prices. In
addition, he explains that the plot
belongs to the county, and is really

no doubt but that after the line is run for
some time il will be possible to cut down
the rate considerably
AS Tor expense, it is likely to prove
no obstacle. To quote again from Will
lard Hart Smith:
"The cost of operation of 'pIanc is not
as great as most people consider it to be.
The entire cost of operation at present
should not exceed forty or fftv cents q
mile ior plane carrying five passengers
ABOUT ten cents mile a passenger would
amply cover the cost of operation main
tenance and pay good dividends on the in
Vestment This cost is decreasing RAPIDLY.
Among other factors, the cost of production
OF only few machines of each type. ex-
penslve experimentation and lack of CO.
operation between design and economical
production have in the past increased the
INITIAL cost of operation. The necessity of
rapid production together with the high
price of labor and material and the lack of
trained men have added unduly to the cost
in the past
AS good an illustration as any of the
rapid advance of the aeroplape is the
copy in an advertisement of the Ameri-
can Transoceanc Company, which an
peared recently in The Tribune Here
are two excerpts:
AT the bombing and Photographic schools
abroad the pilots call 'taxis' for officers or

Correspondence
Getting Back to That Axial
Rotation
the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
CUR: Although DR.. Tesla and NAV
y neither Of us be able to convince the
other as to the axal rotation of the moon
the discussion may not be without interest
In his recent letter DR.. Tesla assumes
carriage wheel tight on it's axle and pushed
forward toward the east around the earth
with one spoke always pointed downward
as proof that the wheel has no axial rota-
tion. He then assumes that if the earth
were enlarged sufficiently to fill the moons
orbit the moon, too, would slide, and he
argues that axial rotation would therefore,
be impossible
In this he seems to appeal 10 the sem
blance as against the reality, thing which
in the same letter he has warned his read
er against doing.
The wheel may revolvc on its axis with
out revolving on its axle. Taken in rcla-
tion to the starry universe, his wheel has
axial revolution, and TO stop such motion
1t would have to be revolved westward one
revolution in the twcnty-four hours.
IL may be said of his assumption of Fl
body large as would fiji the orbit Of
the moon that "a body Of such size is
nothing extraordinary in astronomy. If
the earth were at the centre Of the sun
the orbit Of the moon would be only half
way to the surface of the sun. The sun
itself is probably only star Of average
size. There are others beside which the
sun is Insignificant
Referring again to Darwin on the Tides,
pages 275-27S, there was time long past
when the earth and the moon nearly
touched each other and always presented
the same face to each other. They re-
VOWED about their common centre Of gray
i,y IN from three to FIVE hours. In the re
mote future there will be time when the
moon VIII be further from the earth than
now, and they will again maintain the game
lace 10 each other and revolvc about the
common centre of gravity in about hfty.
nVe ~ our PRESENT days. There was not
Ia that early day, nor win there be in the
future any axial rotation Of either body
with relation TO the other, and yet in that
early day the sun rose and set from FIVE to
eigns times in the equivalent Of one of our
days.

'nat neither body had at tha, time my

fair sample OF the conversation we NAV find
quite common in few months or SO, if
the plans of one Of the largest aerial
transportation organizations materialize in
any such manner their origirators pre-
diet. Complete arrangements for the con-
struction and operation of line of pas
senger carrying dirigibles between New
York and Chicago at an initial charge of
siXty-tive cents mile for each passenger
have been made by j. M. McElroy, chief
engineer of the Sturtevant Aeroplane Com
pary, Of Boston. in collaboration with
Noble Foss of the officials of the cor
poration and a son of former Governor Foss
OF Massachusetts,.
Announcement of the big undertaking
was made recently by the Massachusetts
Aircraft Association, which held it's annual
aeronautical exposition at Madison Square
Garden and the seth Regiment Armory
from March to Is, inclusive, in CO.
operation with the War and Navy depart
ments
1t is proposed to form a company with
four drgibles and two main terminals,
one at New York, the other at Chicago.
The dirigibles are to be of the Zeppelin
type, with rigid housing and multiple COM
partment structure. The United States
War Departments wonderful new discov-
cry, helum gas, will be used, thus remov-
ing the danger of fire. The airship will be
425 feet in length and forty-fve feet in
diameter. Its engines will have a horse
power of 1,200. The bag will have capac-
lty of $4,000 cubic feet of gas, providing
gross lifting power of twenty tons at sea
level. This would mean a practical net
lift of ten tons.
ut is estimated by Mr.. McElroy that
speed of seventy miles hour can be
maintained and that the trip from New
York to Chicago could be made in comfort
in less than twelve hours
The cost per mle roughly speaking
says Mr.. McElroy, would approach sixty
i've cents per passenger, or $500 for the
entire trip in either direction There is
