cycle he made at Ormond
Beach, Fla, on January %,
1904, stood for 16 years.
In 1906, on a motorcycle Of
his own design and manufac-
ture, he established a speed of
1877 miles per hour at Ormond
Beach-a record which stood
for about 20 years. It has
been we'll said that speed was
the keynote of his character.
In the field of flight in a
dirigible, Curtiss made history.
Thomas Scott Baldwin hung up
a record with his dirigible, the
California Arrow, with a motor
built by Curtiss, at Oakland.
California, on August 3, 1904.
: This feat of making a flight
in. a dirigible and returning to
land at the starting point, was
repeated by Baldwin at the st.
Louis Exposition, with CurtiSS
aboard as engineer. They sub
sequently gave exhibition flights
in many parts of the country.
In 1907, Curtiss. in associa-
ton with Alexander Graham
Bell, organized the Aerial Elk
pertinent Association. With
Bells assistance and Mrs. Bells
gift of $4,000, experiments
were carried on over seven
months. resulting in the con-
struction of an airplane.
Although it had been four
years since the Wright brothers
had made their initial flight,
they had not yet flown in pub
lie, being delayed in securing
their patents.
The first public flight in
America was made by Curtiss in
his plane, the Red Wing. He
flew for 318 feet IL inches, but
cracked up at the end Of the
flight. His next flight, in the
White Wing, the second plane
he ever built, was entirely sue
ceSSful.

The incident referred to in

by one true American and, may
1 add, many of my friends. The
outrage perpetrated upon Amer

unnoticed by our Government.
The supine tranquility with
which we have treated France
and her vagaries toward us
should come to an end. We
are of the opinion that our
Government should take cogni-
zance of this insult and make
representation to this effect.
Why have we, nominating
our Government as we, not in
sisted upon the repayment OF
our war loan. England made
a settlement and so have
others, and we permit France.

Our tax-paying public, not ask

not be repaid to the taxpayers,
who are now paying Frances

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
by Dr. Louis g. Risch-


An inflammation Of the peri
toneum is designated perito-
nitis, the peritoneum being a
serous membrane lining the
abdominal cavity and the organs
it contains.
There is acute peritonitis and
chronic peritonitiS.
In acute cases disease of the
kidneys, gout or hardening of
the arteries may be the cause,
Usually, however, the acute
form is brought about by an ex-
tension of inflammation and
disease from some organ which
is covered by peritoneal mem
brane.
Thus peritonitis may result
from i1flammatory processes
in the stomach, intestines, liver,
etc.
Where the disease process is
so marked as to cause a per-
foration Of an intestinal ulcer,
peritonitis is a natural sequence.
In gall hla oder perfora-
tions, appendices perforations,
marked pus inflammation of
certain organs, as well as in
liver, spleen or kidney assesses,
peritonitis is a constant dan
ger.
In the foregoing types of
cases the onset of this extended
inflammatory process into the
abdominal cavity in general is
usually rather sudden and char
acterized by great pain in the
abdomen, chills and even a state
of rigor.
Respiration is shallow and
short. as it gives pain to the
abdominal muscles. Sometimes
these muscles become quite
contracted and rigid.
After a time, as the inflanl-
nation takes hold, the abdomen
grows larger.
Temperatures rise up to 104
or los, and usually it is pre-
ceded by chill. Later on the
temperature falls and occa-
sionally there is no temperature
throughout the course Of the
disease.
