EW YORK. — “I needed
about 100 pounds or so lit
tra weight, and so, when I
taw her in the crowd as we ,
were getting ready to
go up in the balioon. I ask
ed her to take the trip
, with me—I had known for
a long time that she want
ed to have a flight in the
• air.”
And so Dr. Sidney S.
Stowell took Miss Blanche
Edith Hulse “up 'n a balloon, boys,"
proposed to her when they were 10,000
feet in the air while the other man in
the basket was looking the other way;
and now they are married!
I>r. Stowell tried something differ
ent. He might have proposed to her
in an automobile, or on the deck of a
yacht by moonlight, or even in the
hammock on the back porch; in other
word*, be might have proposed just as
millions of other men have proposed.
But on the spur of the moment he
choc* the air as the scene in which
to brieg bis wooing to a climax—and
won out.
When his g od airship landed in a
rocky pasture he hud the promise; the
rest was easy, thanks to this tjgw way
A winning her. 'The 100 pounds or
Co of ballast" is now Mrs. Stowell.
At the beginning it looked as if Dr.
Stowell stood little chance. Miss Hul
se. daughter of Schuyler Hulse. of
Pittsfield. Mass . was one of the belles
of the Berkshire®. Dr Stowell prac
tised in Pittsfield too, and one day he
met Miss Hulse.
'-ure of tbs City Felt.
At length he gained the coveted in
vitation to call. The handsome young
physician took the very' first oppor
tunity. The visits continued until one
day the young woman remarked in a
very off r.und manner. "I'm going to
New York to study nursing."
' What!' answered Dr. Stowell, bare
ly stilling a gasp.
"Yes," rattled on Miss Huise, "it's 1
all arranged. I'm going to Bellevue
hospital there and 1 shall take the full
course Won't it be fine?”
Miss Huise left Pittsfield soon after
ward and Dr Stowell never got the
f i ance 1- long, d for. He stayed at
i.t t New
York. Autooi djllng had always been
i Lis hobby, but folks had the balloon
fever in Pittsfield Just then and Dr.
Stowell g .t it, too. He joined the
Aero Club of Pit'sfield—the premier
place for the sport in the cast, with
t's big gas works and its host of aero
sharps. Soon be had the “bug." as
they say.
"1 m going to qualify as an air-pilot,"
deviated Dr Stowell to his friends, and
he went about it in a matier-of-fact
formal way. with each flight, making
t.= record- and studying the science
of aeronautics as if he intended to
make it his life work.
He essayed the air for the first time,
going up as a passenger with William
Van Sleet. The wind was high and
the pair were blown to Tvngsboro.
Mass . but they landed in safety after
a wild trip through the clouds. That
started his qualification for air-pilot.
Under the rules of the Aero Club of
Pittsfield a candidate must make six
flights with at least one passenger,
and one of the Sights must be at
night A1I these Dr. Stowell made,
but not without peril.
eerii m FMignt Flight.
The night flight was punctuated by
a terrific thunderstorm in which the
balloon was in momentary peril of be
ing struck by lightning. In another
flight he was blown across the State
of Massachusetts, dipped down till he
hit the waters of the Hudson river,
only to rise again and bang against
the rock bound sides of the Palisades
But. one by one. the flights were made
There was but one left, and then he
would become a full-fledged captain of
the air. He could fly alone now. If he
choae. or take a person.
Ha dtcldtj that his first passenger
should be John P. Manning of Pitts
field. It chanced that day that Miss
Hulae was in Pittsfield too. on leave
of absence from the hospital In New
York. She went to see the balloon
flight and was in the crowd that gath
ered about the tugging thing of silk
and gas that half a hundred men could
barely bold down.
They had chatted and laughed to
gether before things were ready, and
Miss Ilulse stood close to the basket
to see the cast-off. Dr. Stowell was
busy setting things to rights and get
ting everything ship-shape when he
noted that bis airship seemed even
too buoyant. It was plain to bis ex
perienced eye that she would shoot j
up in the air like a rocket—something j
that every aeronaut dreads.
He glanced about There was no
more ballast—yes, there was Miss Hul
se, who stood smiling by the side of
the basket to watch Dr. Stowell make
his upward shoot into the air. Per
haps something else beside mere bal
last was in his mind too.
Perhaps there was something in a
pair of merry eyes!
Invitation Accepted.
Anyway, the budding man of the air
made up his mind right then and there.
The helpers were ready to let go and
cast off.
“Oh. Miss Hulse," sang out Dr. Sto
well. “just a minute, please. Remem
ber what you asked me the other day?
Here's your chance. We need a little
ballast. Want to come along?"
“In a minute!" laughed Miss Hulse.
Her mother was there, and several j
of her friends. They protested. Why,
there were two in the basket of the
balloon already, and a trip in the air
was most dangerous, and the sky
looked threatening and—oh, it was al
together too perilous.
f or answ er 10 an tnese oojections
the pretty girl let herself be helped
into the wicker basket that hung un
der the swaying bag of gas, and in a
minute more the lines were loosed.
1'p. up. shot the airship Into the blue.
The crowd cheered for a moment, but
held its breath when the baloon hit
into a cross current and barely missed
ending its trip then and there. It
missed the tall chimney of a factory,
just escaping disaster by a foot or
two. Then began in earnest the flight
into the turquoise of the sky.
In a jiffy the balloon was only a dot
among the clouds. The last of the
crowd saw them, the new-fledged
pilot and his two passengers were
leaning over the side of the basket
waving their hands at the people be
low—three midgets moving under a
big blue bowl.
Landing Safely Made.
That night a wire to the club
brought the news that a landing had
been made safely 25 miles away, at
Shelburne Falls, but nothing was said
of the really important feature of the
trip. Nor was Dr. Stowell’s “ascen
sion card." any more enlightening. In
view of subsequent events, however,
this card, which he filed with the rec
ords of the club as required by the
rules. Is of Interest If an airman
of the future were to find this card
in looking up the records of balloon
ing In the early, twentieth century be
would find that It was to all appear
ances a most uneventful trip.
A« the card runs:
“Ascension, No. 7.
"Balloon, Pittsfield. Heart of Berk
Bhires.
"From, Pittsfield.
“To, Shelburne Falls.
“Time up, 10:25 a. m. Down 1
p. m.
"In air, 2 hours 35 tiinutes. Miles
25.
“Altitude, 10.000 feet
"Weather, fair. Temperature. 7S.
"Wind, southwest.
“Course, northwest.
"Passengers. Miss Blanche Hulse,
John Parker Manning.
"Pilot. Dr. Sidney S. Stowell."
As far as ballooning went, that gave
Dr. Stowell an ample record. The
miles made, the hours of flight, the
carrying of passengers were now all
down in black and white, but certain
details quite Important, were wholly
omitted.
"I was too busy leaning over the
side of the basket taking my photo
graphs," said Mr. Manning, "to guess
what was going on. But I could di
vine without more than a look that
my attention to things on earth be
low would be appreciated by the other
passengers."
Of this Dr. Stowell says:
"Whatever John Manning may say
about it. if he admits he looked over
the edge of the basket, that eliminates
him as the only wifness of whatever
proposition I submitted to the then
Miss Hulse. We were up about two
miles, and so with his observation
accounted for I think we can safely
say we were beyond the attention
of unsympathetic third parties.
Just “Ballast."
•As for inviting Miss Hulse. that is
simple enough. I needed about 100
pounds or so extra weight, and so
when I saw her In the crowd as we
were getting ready to go up 1 asked
her to take the trip with me. for 1
had known for a long time that she
wished the experience of a flight. It
was an Ideal day for It. and we sailed
over some of the most beautiful spots
In the Berkshires. including the es
tate of Senator Crane, In the town of
Windsor.
“The most Interesting part of the
flight? Well, I dropped from the alti
tude of 10,000 feet by loosening the
appendix cord Instead of pulling the
rip cord, and let the balloon come
down in mushroom shape as a para
chute. My passengers didn't mind,
and we landed gently on the Nelson
farm, only seven miles from the rail
road station at Shelburne Falls. Miss
Hulse was a first rate air sailor, and
as Mrs. Stowell she will accompany
me on flights this summer."
The marriage was performed by
Rev. C. Rexford Raymon, pastor of
the South Congregational church In
Rrooklyn. As for the honeymoon, the
bride says:
"I shall be glad to go up again with
the coming of warm weather. 1 enjoy
flying. Afraid? Why. that never en
tered my head when Dr. Stowell was
the pilot."—New York World.

SYSTEM NEEDS MUCH WATER;
Also as Aid to Beauty and Health, It
la One of the Finest Things
Imaginable.
Two great aids to beauty and health
In the world are the simplest and least
often followed. A woman who will not
fail to take obnoxious medicine recom
mended by her doctor, at the most in
convenient times, finds It too difficult
to adopt these two remedies—fresh air
and quantities of pure water.
Even those who have successfully
educated themselves in the fresh air
cult still neglect the equally Important
habit of drinking plenty of pure water.
They dally bathe the body externally
without a thought of the necessity of
Internal bathing.
Any doctor wilf tell you that a cer
tain quantity of water should be tak
en dally; a pint and a half is the very
least that one is supposed to drink.
Yet there are many people who never
drink water at ail.
When one thinks of the cleansing
power of water upon the body applied
externally one is astonished that It la
not more universally used as an inter
nal cleanser.
A woman whose complexion was the
envy of all drank thirteen glasses of
pure water a day between meals and
slept with every window in her bed
room wide open. While she was for- j
tunate enough to start life with a good
complexion, she attributes all the !
freshness and youth of her looks to j
these simple causes.
The morning bath has become a ne
cessity to all who indulge in the nice
ties of life, and it would be well if the
morning drink would also be adopted
by women. Nothing is so good for
one as to take a glass or two of water
immediately after one’s bath, or the
first thing when one rises. If cold wa
tter gives one a feeling of nausea, and
it does to many, take hot water. This
should be drunk as hot as one can
bear it and in as great a quantity as
one can stand. The Juice of half a
lemon in it works wonders for the
complexion and the health.
Every woman should take all reason
able precautions to keep herself well.

time one is ill a tiny bit of youth and
freshness ts sacrifled. One's reserve

looks.
Hegin at once to throw open all your
windows and to drink water all during
the day, and you will be astonished to
see how much younger you will look
and how much prettier you will be.
And youth—in face and figure—is now
the aim and desire of every woman.

she used to strive for beauty.

EM HE mind may feed on fancy,
but the matter-of-fact stom
ach imperiously demands something more
substantial.
The Kitchen.
Much has been said and written
about the modern up-to-date kitchen.
The ideal kitchen is not within the
means of the everyday housekeeper;
but it Is possible to have one that Is
both convenient and attractive with
small cost. Have the kitchen on the
ground floor, if possible. The north
and east exposure is considered the
best, with plenty of air and light. If
the window light Is not sufficient,
paint the walls and woodwork in light
tints. The walls should be of hard
finish, which can be cleaned.
Most housekeepers like a pice floor
covered with linoleum, the soft wood
being easier for the feet than a hard
wood floor.
To preserve linoleum, varnish It
each fall and spring. After it Is
hopelessly worn off It may be painted
in a solid color with a border of some
contrasting hue. if desired.
Kitchen tables are best covered
"with sine, which saves the constant
scrubbing. When it is necessary to
set a hot dish down the table need not
be injured.
The sink and drain pipes should be
| carefully flushed every day with boil
ing water. Washing soda should be
I used frequently In the hot water to
I dissolve the grease gathered in the
| pipes.
A cupful of hot copperas water Is
a good disinfectant, as Is chloride of
lime.
All kitchen refuse should be burned
when possible.
If the zinc table becomes stained,
scour It with bath brick and kerosene
Rinse the tea towels in cold water
I then in hot soap suds and again in ,
coid water. Hang In the sun and air j
j to dry.
To clean linoleum or oil cloth, wipe
with a cloth wrung out of warm
water, to which a little milk has been
added.
Much of the flavor, delicacy and
wholesomeness of food depends upon
the care of the utensils used. Good
' coffee cannot be made in a pot that is
simply rinsed out and put back on
the stove. A coffee pot must be
| washed, scalded and cared for just !
as carefully as the milk dishes. Sun
the pot every day. The sun is a good

National Salads.
The following salads may be prop
1 erly termed national, as they are the
favorite salads of the people in the
several countries the name of which
is given the salad.
German Salad With Sausage.—Boil
four frankfort sausages twenty min
utes, cut in half-inch pieces. Boil halt
a pound of sauer kraut ten minutes,
j drain and cool and mix with the sau
sage. Cut up two winter radishes
and arrange around the salad.
Sprinkle with minced onion or shal
lot. pickles and capers, chill and
serve with French salad dressing.
Russian Tomato Salad.—Arrange a
bed of torn lettuce leaves in a salad
bowl. Peel four tomatoes of medium
size, cut fine and mix with six sar
dines chopped, after skin and bones
are removed. Place on lettuce and
serve with either mayonnaise or
French dressing.
Cuban Salad.—Rreak up four dry
soda crackers, shred two sweet Span
ish peppers, removing core and seeds.
Slice very thin one Spanish onion,
skin, bone and mince six anchovies
and mix all together. Serve on let
tuce with French dressing.
Nontese Salad.—Bake four mild
flavored onions until tender, .remove
the tops and put a lump of butter on
each. Season with salt and when cold
cut In quarters. Add four quartered
eggs and six sardines, chopped. Add
parsley and mix a teaspoonful of
curry with mayonnaise or boiled
dressing, and serve.
American Salad.—Mix equal parts
of finely cut celery and apple, half the
amount of broken nut meats and serve
with a boiled or mayonnaise dressing.
BOUT the time a man goes
Into politics, his wife starts
to Keeping boarders.
Fish Salads for Lent.
Any kind of fish can be acceptably
served as a salad, that which is
boiled being generally preferred. In
boiling, add a small quantity of vine
gar. it will make the flesh more firm
and tender. Fish salads require the
addition of acids, lemon juice being
the most acceptable addition.
Cucumber salad is a good accom
paniment to salmon, with a plain
dressing.
Is salmon and cocoanut, with a little
chopped pickle.
Herring Salad With Potatoes.—
Wash four salt herring and scak in
milk several hours, then drain; re
move the fillets and sides and cut in
pieces. Cut four small potatoes which
have been boiled, half the quantity of
apples, a beet and a pickled cucumber.
Mix all together, sprinkle with
chopped chives and parsley; add salt,
peppier and vinegar, decorate with
hard-cooked eggs.
Household Hints.
Baked apples cored before baking
and filled with orange marmalade are
a well-liked dessert
For an afternoon tea, macaroons
with thinly-sliced sage cheese be
tween is a delicious dainty.
Every kitchen should be supplied
with plenty of soft soap. It can be
made in the home.
Steel forks and knives should be
cleaned with scouring brick after each
meal.
Never dry molding boards or choi>
ping bowls by the fire after washing,
as they are so apt to warp and crack
if exposed to dry heat while wet.
To remove the odor of onion from
wooden or other dishes, fill with cold
water, adding a tablespoonful of wash
ing soda to a quart of water. Soak for
a while, then heat the water boiling
hot and use it to flush the sink pipes.
In this way the soda answers two
purposes.
Cool bread and cake on racks made
for the purpose, or one may be im
provised. Covering bread with a
cloth allows It to sweat, and this oftefi
spoils the flavor.

A Balanced Ration for the Family.
A few ideas on menu making with :
recipes are usually welcomed by the
housewife. In preparing a meal, if a
neavy soup, like cream soup is used. I
the main dish of meat should be less
hearty, as the cream soup is very nu- j
tritious. When fish is served a
heartier dessert is allowable, to give
a well-balanced ration.
For a day’s ration for the ordinary
individual, twelve to sixteen ounces |
of meat is sufficient; the same amount
of flour and grains, eight to ten
ounces of potatoes, six to eight ounces
of fresh vegetables and fruits, le
gumes and dry fruits each one ounce,
sugar rwo to three ounces, milk four
to sixteen ounces, butter one to two
ounces and egg two ounces.
Multiply this by thirty, and we have
an allowance for a person a month.
This is a ration worked out by Miss
Barrows, of which she writes: “If
the larger quantity of potatoes is
used the smaller quantity of flour and
grains would be ample; while if eggs
were cheap and several were con
sumed, there would be a correspond
ing reduction in the amount of meat
and fish.
People who try to live very econom
ically and so buy the cheaper foods,
are likely to have too little protein
food, while those who have an abund
ance are apt to take too much and
overload the system, causing various
diseases.
It is not necessary or practical for
a housekeeper to estimate the food
principles in each dish she serves, but
by balancing accounts once in a few
weeks by the daily ration, she may
know whether she is meeting the
needs of her family. Of course, one
must consider that the growing boy
needs food to supply heat and energy
and at the same time build up bone
and muscle. The growing boy needs
as much food as the grown man. The
man In the office does not need the
amount of food that the farmer work
ing in the open air finds necessary, so
that our rations should conform to the
age, occupation, climate and condi
tion of health.
If we are to be a nation of people
who do things, we must have clear
brains and healthy bodies, and food
is the most important factor.
Many Women in Banks.
Ten years ago there were only two
women bankers in Kansas, now there
are more than 550, if one counts as
bankers the presidents and so on, in
cluding the cashiers and directors.
There are four women presidents, 15
vice-presidents, 50 cashiers. 250 assist
ant cashiers and 250 directors. Miss
Anna Speck, who is of the bank com
missioner’s office, says that if there
were more women bankers there would
be no need of bank supervision and no
"bankers' colonies" in the state pris
ons. She has found them absolutely
honest in their accounts. She knows
all about the banks of her state.
Fame.
"It is a great honor for a states
man to have his portrait circulated
before the gaze of posterity on our ■
national currency,” remarked the
treasury official.
“Yes." replied Senator Sorghum. j
"and yet did you ever know anybody
to hold on to a dollar bill long enough
to know whose picture'is on it?"
TOO MUCH EVAPORATION.
The old man came out of the lunch
room and met his wife. Samantha. wh(
had been shopping.
“Samantha,” he began enthusiastic
ally, “yeou may talk about yeour
canned goods all yeou please, but these
here evaporated dishes have them
beaten to a frazsle.”
“Evaporated dishes. Sile?”
“Yes. I just had evaporated spinach
an’ evaporated asparagus.”
“Do tell!"
"Then came evaporated kale as a
side dish an’ evaporated pears as des
sert.”
With a far-away look In his eyes the
old man fished through his pockets.
"Where be yeour change, Sile?” de
manded the thrifty wife.
"Blamed if I know, Mandy,” he
drawled in a bewildered sort of way;
"reckon that evaporated, too.”

A Fairiy Wet World.
The Pacific ocean covers CS,000,000
miles, the Atlantic 30,000,000 and the
Indian, Arctic and Antarctic 42,000,000.
To stow away the contents of the Pa
cific it would be necessary to fill a
tank one mile long, one mile wide and
one mile deep every day for 440 years.
Put in figures, the Pacific holds in
weight 940,000,000,000,000,000.000 tons.
The Atlantic averages a depth of
aot quite three miles. Its water weighs
325.000.000.000,000,000,000 tons, and a
tank to contain it would have each of
its sides 430 miles long. The figures
of the other oceans are in the same
startling proportions. It would take
all the sea water in the world 2,000,000
years to flow over Niagara.

New Brunswick, N. J., to quit medi
cines and eat Grape-Nuts. She says:

stomach, and consequently was com
pelled to give up my occupation.

had an idea 1 was dieting, but I con
tinued to suffer, and soon lost 15
pounds in weight. I was depressed
In spirits and lost interest in every
thing generally. My mind was so af
fected that it was impossible to be
come interested in even the lightest
reading matter.
“After suffering for months I de
cided to go to a stomach specialist.
He put me on Grape-Nuts and my
health began to improve immediately.
It was the keynote of a new life.
“I found that I had been eating too
much starchy food which I did not di
gest, and that the cereals which I had
tried had been too heavy. I soon
proved that it is not the quantity of
food that one eats, but the quality.
“In a few weeks I was able to go
back to my old business of doing cler
ical work. I have continued to eat
Grape-Nuts for both the morning and
evening meal. I wake in the morning
with a clear mind and feel rested. I
regained my lost weight in a short
time. I am well and happy again and
owe it to Grape-Nuts.” Name given
