During the last fifty years it has banished from the lives of tens cf thou~ ! sands of women the pain, worry, m sery and distress caused b3 these diseases.

Her work can be lightened if she knows the value of system and she should try and take a short rest in the daytime. A physician who became famous almos‘l around 'the world, Doctor Pierce, 01 Buffalo, N. Y., the specialist in woman’s diseases, for many years practiced medi- cine in a farming district.

In nine cases out of ten the seat of the difficulty is here, anda woman should take rational treatment for its cure.

The human body, says Health Culture, is prac- tically a sack of water. The body of the average man contains over half a barrel of water. This water, in the form of twenty difierent fluids, is con- stantly fluctuating back and forth among the tissues, doing the work of the body, and if there be any de- ficiency of water in the body this work will suffer.

As it hap- pened, Mr. Biggar did not know that the Prince was present at the time, but he declined to give way none the less, and it was only after the sus- pension of the Standing Orders then governing the matter that the Prince was able to resume his place. Another episode in which Mr. Chap- lin figured was more amusing. This was in August, 1892, on the evening: of the division on Mr. Asquith's amendment to the address which brought about the defeat of the Salis- bury Government, when Mr. Chaplin was put up to speak against time from the Treasury Bench. amid the riotous chaff and interruptions of the Oppo- sition, all of which Mr. Chaplin bore with imperturhable good humor. Mat- ters reached a climax when Dr. Tan- ner, one of the unruliest of the Irish members of the day, rushed up the floor of the House with a glass of water. which he placed on the de- spatch box which Mr. Chaplin was thumping. For the moment there were lively apprehensions of a “scene,” but Mr. Chaplin, still preserving his splen- did self-control, took no notice of the incident and continued his speech with unimpaired sang-fro‘d to the end.

Bricker, Professor of Agricultural Education in Syracuse University, writes: Anyone with sight and sense can readily see that a new civilization is rapidly developing in rural North America. New systems and standards, new methods and pro- cesses, new aims and ideals, and a new agriculture and farmer have ushered in the new age and are build- ing a new structure upon the firm foundation which the pioneers hued out oft the wilderness. The chief factors in the building of the new rural civilization are: (1) The modern in- dustrial system; (2) The new agri- culture; (3) The new farmer; (4) New transportation facilities; (6) New transmitters of intelligence; (6) A new country; (7) A new country peo- p16; (8) A new spirit of cooperation; (9) A new rural government; (10) New aims and ideals; (11) Reorganiz- ed rural institutions, including a new country church Newness in Everything Demands Modernized Rural Church In recommending a further supply of motor vehicles to the Gold Coast Colony, the Acting Colonial Secretary at Cccra mentioned that In 1915 there were in that colony twenty-two motor cars, sevenzy~eight motor lorries, 126 motor cycles, and 1,500 bicycles in use. The” “manumotlve” machine is evident- ly in very high favor on the Gold Coast, and if motors increase, the bi- cycle may be depended upon to do strangers ‘6 EASILY MADE COUNTER THE COUNTRY CHURCH BASES @ME WATER FOR HEALTH that (3.11?“ 3 W ’ty Years an MP. is Record of Henry Chaplin Mctors ' in Africa :ht years Jorse .on April 27th, Mr. Biggar called the antion to the presence of and thereby was instru- mpelling the Prince of wards King Edward) to Chaplin has had 11’s for a longer his present co? house, annougn me 15 e "Father” of- the Com! his term of member been quite continuous 9M5 HENRY ” longs to 1V first electe re inl tl‘ Si’cliC THE DURHAM CHRONICLE. has had a seat Parlil period leagues qualities most required are initiative. speed and daring; initiative, because it. is the unexpected move that always wins the aerial combat; speed, to be able to climb faster than the other machine; and daring, to accomplish that which the enemy fears to essay. “Pilots in the stress and excitement of a hot tight repeatedly perform evolutions that they admit would be impossible to them. in their saner moments, for the strain on the ma- chine is enormous. With the greater number oi‘ aeroplanes the machine gun fires through the blades of the propeller. This means that at least 5 per cent. of the bullets will be de- flected. With only the pilot aboard it is a matter of extreme difficulty to manteuvre the gun nad the plane at one and the same time”. With some types of machine it is impos- sible. The direction of the Wind in- fluences the combat to a very large extent. Let us take as an example two aeroplanes, A and B, both with a speed or 8.0 miles per hour, approach- ing one another. A is flying down wind (with ilie wind) and a wind of Writing in a London newspaper. a British air pilot gives the following account of the swift daring strategy of air battles: “Closing into conflict, the primary idea of the pilot of each air trait is to obtain the best strategical position; that is with both machines travelling ‘down’ Wind and in the same direction. The best strategioal position is above the other machine, there to be able to take it with, machine gun fire, or, if so needed, to drop bombs on it. Having attained the strat egical position the three British Aviator Describes in Detail the Stratagems of Mid-air Fight- in‘gâ€"-â€"Position Counts BATTLEPLANES DEMAND FENE NERVES AND SKILL Wind (with 1:11;- wind) and a wind oz" 15 miles behind it. 31 therefore 11a an actual 1131.116. of 95 miles per hours.

The Fokker, \v ith its superior engine power, made its appearance and the German airmen became not; only willing but anxious. The fighting; aeroplane, or, to give it its official! title, the battleplane, is a machine of an entirely (iiiterent type £10111 thosef used ior reconnaissance and gun! spotting’ work. Its main duty is to; convoy the bomb- dro; pers on raiding g; expeditions and to heat off any at-l tacks that may be made upon them. i It is essential that it shall be able: to climb rapidly and that it has at powerful engine, in order that if it: be out-numbered it can get away by means of superior speed. The prefer-i able types of machine for this class! of work are those of the ‘pusher’g (propeller behind) and ‘double’ engine } variety. { “By removing the propeller blades from the forepart of the fuselage (body), the gunner is given at least an 80 per cent. wider field of fire. When firing is through the propeller the accuracy entirely depends on the skill of the pilot in mandzuvring the machine into the required positionâ€"â€" that is with the nose pointing directly towards the other machine. Thus it will be seen that with each movement of the attacked the attacker must im- mediately follow suit, and the prob- ability is that if he be not wary enough he will be led into a trap over the enemy guns. Gun and Sun “Another most important matter is a suitable mounting for the gun. This must allow the largest possible area of elevation and depression. The best direction in which to fire the gun de- pends on the type of machine. With some the best direction is backwards. upwards, or slightly to one side; with others, in front, backwards, and up wards; with others, again, behind and below. “When giving chase to another ma- chine the pilot should always aim to keep the enemy in ‘view and his own machine out of sight. Once he takes his eye off the enemy when travelling in niid~air it is an extremely difficult matter to find him again. The pilot should further endeavor to keep his aeroplane between the enemy and the sun, to keep him on his gunner's left hand, and, vice versa, to avoid placing himself on the left of the enemy unless by doing so he Will put the sun in his eyes. If a turn is found to be necessary he should al- ways turn towards the enemy and not away from him. “The observer’s business is to note the relative speeds of his own and his opponent’s machine. If the advantage is with the latter he should reserve his gun-fire until the most opportune moment and then fire as rapidly as possible. And last but not least comes the real human element. There must be a mutual understanding between the observer and the pilot, or the craft will inevitably come to grief." Appropos of the Duke of Wel'lington, the fourth bearer of that proud title, it is interesting to recall that in the cellars of the historic Apsley House is the service of plate presented by Portugal to the Iron Duke, the pro- bate value of which was $1,000,000. It was always used at the Waterloo ban- quet.
