Joy-Riding in Aeroplane Great

Sport, if Earth Does Turn Over

Spend your money buy War Saving Stamps. PALLADIUM WANT ADS PAY

Donald Warfel, formerly of the Palladium staff, now a sergeant in the aero service, stationed in England, enjoyed his first ride in an airplane so much that he is eager to learn flying as quickly as possible. He writes as follows to his parents: t "England, May 19, 1918. "Dear Folks: Well, I took my first 'Joy-ride in an aeroplane last night, and it is some great sport. I went out to the aerodrome last night and got permission from one of the instructors to be .allowed to go up as a passenger, and one of the young fellows that Just graduated from his course in flying took me up in one of the big planes. It is great sport, and I have the flying bug in my bonnet already. Flying rules over here are somewhat different to what they are in the States, and a flyer can take any passenger that may care to fly, provided the permission of an Instruc

tor is given. "I. went up about 7 o'clock last night, and it was Just as warm as could be. After getting up about 3,000 feet in the air, we flew all about the countryside and over this town, and it surely looked funny. The country looked just like a big piece of patchwork, with several different colors to make up the pattern. Here was a plowed field, of one colored earth, then perhaps next to that was a field whereon the vegetation had just started, making another color, and then a meadow, and then a field of butter cups, all joined together with ribbons of dark green formed by trees and hedges joining them together, making different shades of green, brown and yellow. The river, which is about the size of the river there at home looked just' like a piece of rope that had been laid on the ground all curled in different shapes. The town here looked like a bunch of little boxes more than houses, and a railroad train looked like the smoke from an ordinary cigar. After floating around for about fifteen minutes at 3,000, we went up another thousand feet and the pilot turned around and motioned for me to hold tight and then pointed down. Up Two Thousand Feet. "This part was the best of all, for the earth just seemed to move around in front of U3, and we turned, or rather it seemed as though the earth turned a couple of times, and he pointed to the "altometer" a device for showing height, and it registered just two thousand feet. We dropped this distance in what seemed to be a few seconds, although it took much longer than "that. I really enjoyed that part of it, which is called a 'nose spin," and is considered one of the dangerous tricks of flying when performed near the ground, but we were

up too high to cause any trouble. "After the stunts, we came down a little, and I was able to distinguish some of the people and animals on the ground. Cattle looked about the size of big rats, and sheep, of which there are many over here, looked just like a brood of newly hatched chicks. It was rather thrilling coming back to the ground, but the pilot was a good one, and we slowly glided down over the hangars and out into the field, and it just seemed as If we were in an automobile and struck a rut when the place hit the ground. "It is wonderful sport alright, and I envy those fellows that are able to fly all the time, but some time I hope to be able to take one of the birds for myself, and handle the "stick" as the control lever is called. "Well, folks, that is about all of the tale of the flight, but I am still ready to inform you that I have received no mail from the States or rather from home since April 7, and that is almost two months ago. Kindly hurry a few letters, a post card, and a couple of packages along, just to keep me company." A friend received the appended letter from Warfel in Wednesday's mail: Dear Friend: Aside from the fact that I have made a startling discovery over here, I am not bothered with any strain, mental or otherwise. But never the less, I must inform you of a wonderful thing that I saw today. It is rather commonplace when one thinks of the parts that go to make up this wonderful scene, but when they are put together, tha result made me marvel at the wonder of it. Here is what I saw. I actually gazed upon a black crow, and this bird was upholding the "caws" in a real hickory tree. Mv

mind naturally wondered back to the days when we used to carol away about the "Old Black Crow In th

r Hickory Tree," but little did I think

in tnose balmy days that I would have to wander into England to witness the aforesaid crow in his native haunt in a hickory tree. I am stationed in a town that Is near a big estate known as park and this park, or rather estate has a large clump o hickory trees. It Is here that I saw the bird. We are aurely having some wonderful weather over here, hot . to change the subject. Spring Is here, and this country Is beautiful at this time of the year.

The other night I took a ride out to a little town about live miles from town, and on a high hill, so that I could see all of the countryside around and it looked just like the "paintings" that are given away with soap coupons, only much more beautiful and real. In this town is a churchyard with about ten graves of people named Richmond in it I looked all over the place, but did not see "Indiana" Richmond, although I am informed that the town is dead. Some of these old-time headstones date back into the 17th Century, and there is an old castle that , looked as-though Old Charlie, the Steenth, or Hen the Chicken Chaser might have taken a few pot shots at it for luck. The natives around here tell me that this town at one time contained a wall, or rather the w-all contained the town. I can't for the life of me see why they wanted to put a wall around it for, as there is absolutely nothing in the entire country that I would bother about taking, unless it is a bath, and it was more than a month before I could find one of them. That English Mutton. One thing I love about England, and that is that a man doesn't have to stay here for the rest of his life. If I did, I know that I would get fuzzy all over from eating so much mutton. These Britains surely do love their sheep and they try to cajole a perfectly good Yankee into saying that he likes roast leg o' Iamb when his mouth is watering for a little fried chicken.

I aSked the landlady the other day if she would get a chicken and fry it if

I would stand the bill, and can you believe it, she actually didn't know what fried chicken was. When I told

her that young-chickens were .fried.

and the usual method used therein,

she actually looked startled and said that it was a shame to kill the poor little fluffy chickens, and she said she couldn't think of doing such a thing. I had a hard time trying to explain just how large the chickens had to be. And then she said they wouldn't be allowed to kill young chickens. Well, I guess my second spasm has perhaps enlightened you somewhat on the state of our Allies, and any questions about England (except London, Liverpool, Manchester, and probably a hundred or a hundred and fifty other towns that I have never visited (I have been in two for more than a day at a time) I will try to answer, but my efforts may be feeble. Give my regards to the force around the office, and write when youan. Your friend, WARFEL. Sgt. D. E. Warfel, 378 Aero Squad-

TELLS DYSPEPTICS WHAT TO EAT Avoid lad treat Ion, Soar Acid Stomach. Heartbnra, Gas Ob Stomarh. Etc

Indigestion and practically all forms of stomach trouble, say medical authorities, ars due nine times out of ten to an excess of hydrochloric acid in the stomach. Chronic "acid stomach" is exceedingly dangerous and sufferers should do either one of two thing's. Either they ran go on a limited and often disagreeable diet, avoiding: foods that disagree with them, that Irritate the stomach and lead to excess arid Secretion or they can eat as they please in reason and make it a practice to counteract the effect of the harmful acid and prevent the formation of gas. sourness or premature fermentation by the use of a little Bisurated Magmesla at their meals. There is probably no better, safer or more reliable stomach antiacld than Bisurated Magnesia and it is widely used for this purpose. It has no direct action on the stomach and is not a digestent. But a teaspoonful of the powder or a couple of five grain tablets taken in a little water with the food will neutralize the excess acidity which may be present and prevent Us further formation. This removes the whole cause of the trouble and the meal digests naturally and healthfully without need of pepsin pills or artificial digestions. Get a few ounces of Bisurated Magnesia from any reliable druggist. Ask for either powder or tablets. It never comes as a liquid, milk or citrate and in the bisurated form is not a laxative. Try this plan and eat what you want at your next meal and see if this isn't the best advice you ever had on "what to eat." Adv.
