What to do with numerous small j packages in an automobile after the i rockets are full, can be solved by hanging a chile's doll hammock to the : top, over one's head. This is especial- ; ly handy for a long trip when space j , is at a premium, as there is always | room for “just one more” thing in the j hammock. This device is all the more j appreciated because it is in no one’s way. Smart Idea.

PLAN AIR ROUTE — Prince Suggests Peking-Paris Line, and It Is Adopted. _ i I Journey of Aeronauts Will Be Made Partly Over Great Desert of Gobi —Stations Will Be Laid Along the Trans-Si be1 ian. Parts—After taking the advice of leading experts on climatic and other conditions likeiv to affect the Peking Paris air race. Prince Borghese being among those consulted, a meeting was held at the offices of l.e .Matin recent ly, at which the first definite official program was drawn up. The scheme submitted by Prince Borghese has been adopted. It has been settled that the race shall begin next September, at about the begin ning of the month, when, according to the data received from the weather bureau of Russia, the Siberian rainy season is well over, net only along the Trans-Siberian, but in China, and when other w eather conditions ere also favorable. The suggestion ot Prince Bcghese that tile Great Desert of Gobi be trav ersed. the route being Peeking to Kal- I gan, Tuerin. I rga, Kakhta and Lake Baikal, was adopted, as not only oiler- , ing the best means of arriving at Si- ! beria, but as being admirably suited for landings. Other reasons are that it is frequented by caravans and that a telegraph line gives an ideal indica tion of the route. The rest of the Journey will be made by way of Irkutsk, Omsk. Kazan. Mos cow, Warsaw, Vienna, Triest, Genoa. Avignon and Lyons, as already an nounced in these columns. Stocks of petrel and spare parts are to be spread along the Trans-Siberian, also across the Gobi desert at short disiances, wh«* the food question meets its solution by the lact that the route follows railway stations and in habited districts throughout. Each entrant will be required to pay a deposit of $1,000, which will be re funded if he makes the proper start from Peking, but will, if forfeited, be added to the amount of the prizes. In an interview Prince Borghese stated that, in his opinion, the Gobi desert presented the only practical -v. j In Modern Pelting. means for the airmen to reach Lake Baikal, as the Mukden-Harbin route taken by the railroad involves sur mounting the high Khingan chain ot mountains as well as over 40<i miles of mountainous country just before reaching the lake. Names continue to be sent in for the race, among the latest being those or two young French pilots, who, al though they have only recently ob tained tbeir diplomas, are confldent of success. MULE OBJECTS TO SAUCE t Wrecked Bar After Getting Drinks and Hot Stuff for Lunch. _ New York.—Leading a small donkey . oy the halter, a man entered a saloon 1 at Atlantic avenue and Smith street, j Brooklyn, and asked for a drink. Then be added: “Give my friend something, too.’ The donkey drank freely and wan dered over to the free lunch counter, where some one gave him a spoonful of tabasco sauce. Things began to happen. The don key kicked over the lunch counter, | wrecked part of the bar and got to | the street. He stopped to do some more kicking -three blocks away, and was captured. Water in quantities was given the donkey, and he was locked up for ! the night in a livery stable. His own er was Richard Schoaf of Sullivan county. “I bought that donkey for my three children, Schoaf said. “Came dowr to ?few York to get him especially, and I was told his habits were good. Looks like I was done on this trade. But up home I'll keep liquor and ta basco from him. When 1 told the bar keeper to give him a driak.

Team cf Pr.ze Winning Kuic3. The fellow ;ng letters have beer, re-' ceived from fanners located in various sections of the country on the merits end demerits of the mule end the J horse. "1 have had thirty years' experience In working horse# and mules on a .o br.ccc. wheat and corn farm, and l rrefer the mules. Their feet are smaller and they injure very little of the tcbaeco and corn; they are less liable to disease. !e#s fastidious in ap petite, will endure greater hardships, are longer-lived, and worry the plow man less, is they arc mere steady. Not cue bo e is u.- d for farm work to ten mutes, in this section of the country.”—W. E. E.. Kentucky. “On large farms where there is steady work and lots of it, I have found the mules the most profiuble. They can do a certain amount of work st a less expense tor feed, are tougher ar.d. in proportion to weight, stronger than horses. While they stand negieet ! r.nd ill-treatment better than horses, j they appreciate kindness just as well, j Mules are ready for work six days of the week and fifty-two weeks in the year, and are all the better for it There is a prejudice against mules Typical Belgian Horse. here which I consider unjust. Their use on large farms in Ohio would be ; found profitable. 1 am sure.”—\Y. E. O, Ohio. i “in this climate a mule stands the heat better, works with less feed, and ' stands the treatment he is sure to get from the negro hands, better than a horse. A mule lives longer, too. I have seen mules doing service at 25 years of age. As a farm animal he is 1 unexcelled in the south.”—W. H. G„ j Georgia. "The mule has a number of im portant advantages over the horse in farm work. A good mule is a treasure | on the farm. He is tougher, stands ;he heat and hard work better; be is not so susceptible to disease as a horse. I know mules which, in plow ing In a g.crden will step over hills of potatoes or ether vegetables with as much care as the gardener would ask. I never saw a horse that would try to avoid stepping cn a hill, and in some instances they seem to make a point of trampling down everything in reach of their big feet.”—1-. W. C„ Tennessee. "Our experience with mules leads us to believe they are hardier than fco’-ses; they are seldom sick, their shoulders hardly ever become sore and they are more easily taught what is expected of them. We have never yet known cf a mule being injured in any respect from over-feeding. They know when to cult eating. For steady work and hard knocks we prefer the mule every time. The farmers of the wes; are beginning to appreciate them at -.heir true value, as the number of muie teams now in use. compared to w 1.. : there was a few years ago. fully attests.”—H. C. S., Kansas. "Forty years' experience with mules has satisfied me that- they will not compare. In a financial way. with hc-ses. not being adapted to saddle or carriage, nor will they bring any in crease. as a horse does. They are mis chievous. bresc-hy and will often kill voting stock if turned in with them on pasture. A farmer cf moderate means should keep horses every time."—H. M.. Illinois. "Where farming operations are car ried on. on a large scale, and animals are kept solely for farm work, and not for alternate work and driving to buggy. I prefer the mule to horses. Mules endure a warm climate better than horses, largely because they do not over-feed or over-exert themselves in hot weather. No animal can take the place of the mule in the south. The mule is very valuable in garden ■work, from his close-stepping habits, which make it easy to work small plants in narrow rows without dam age. As tc feeding, while a mule will keep at work on coarser food than a horse. I have never found that a hard worked mule team would keep in fine condition on less than a similar team of horses.' Never buy a long-legged mule. A big. "gangling.” long-legged mule is the meanest “critter” on earth. Whether heavy or light, see to it that he is compactly built.”—W. F. M., North Carolina. GIVE CHICKENS BEST OF CARE Birds of All Axes Should Be Ex amined During the Hot Months for Little Mites and Lice. <By M. B. BERNARD.) All the old birds, and young, too, hould be examined frequently during the hot months because then it Is that the lice and mites thrive. If cut bone or chopped meat is fed during the summer extra precautions must be taken to have it perfectly fresh. Many birds die from eating bone and meat scraps which have been al lowed to lie around exposed to the heat and the flies. In feeding chickens, always remem ber that they are provided for to pro duce fresh eggs for human feed and therefore their own feed should be Just as pure as that we eat ourselves. The hot sun will cause young gos ings and ducklings as well to topple ever and uie. Provide shade for them until they are srrong on their pegs. COVERING WALLS WITH WISTARIA Common Purple Variety Is Best Adapted to Hide Great Vacant Spaces — Heeds Pruning. <By WALTER B. LEITTZ.) We seldom see great wall spaces covered with wistaria, yet it is to our eye the most beautiful flower for that purpose that grows. The Japanese wistaria is not so well adapted to this purpose as the common royal purple flower of Amer ica. To get the best results the vine mast be constantly pruned and kept back for two or three years, else it will run in long streamers and the flowers will hang straight down. The vines must be trained to run in all directions. We can never forget the wall of a large old house in Richmond. Va^ that is covered witih this beautiful flower. The wall is about seventy feet high r.nd is one soft mass of ravishing beauty. In this climate the vine needs no attention after it has once been well started, and blooms early and late. EUROPEAN SEED POTATOES BAD I Forttsn Grown Varieties Should Not Be Used on Account of Several Known Diseases. — Although home-grown seed pota- j toes are selling at high prices, foreign grown potatoes should not be substi tuted for them. The following state ment on the danger to the American potato crop from the use of imported seed potatoes has been issued by the secretary of agriculture: Europe has severaf potato diseases not now known to exist in this coun try, which, if introduced, might be the means of greatly reducing our annual yield of potatoes. Should these dis eases become prevalent throughout the United States, the cost of pro ducing future crops might be very greatly increased. Do not. therefore, under any cir cumstances. use foreign-grown peta at the south. The sorts which are coming to this country at the present time are late sorts and are not adapt ed to planting in the south, where early potatoes are the main crop, neither are they adapted to planting at the north, for they will net produce a satisfactory yield. They are not adapted to our soils or to our climate, and will not yield profitable crops; but the clanger of introducing diseases not now present is sufficient reason for refusing to plant them. Care of Stallions. A stallion shul op in a dark stall without the companionship of other horses often becomes moody and sav age. Some English stallioners ride a pony while leading their horses for exercise, and the horses become so at tached to the ponies that they become fretful and uneasy when they are not near. At night the ponies are given a stall next to the horses. Of course, some horses are too savage in nature to permit their being led in company of a pony, but if broken to this treat ment when young stallions can be AS LONG AS IT WAS WINE. _ I “You should not Icok upon de wine when it am red.” “Well, 1’s not particular about de ! color, parson.” PHYSICIAN ACVISES CUT!CURA REMEDIES “Four years r.go I had places break or.t on my wrist and cn my shin which ; would itch and burn by spells, and I scratching them would not seem to i give any relief.

The careful mother, watching close ly the physical peculiarities of her children, soon learns that health is iu a great measure dependent upon nor ; mal. healthy, regular bow el action. ; When the bowels are Inactive, ioss of appetite, restlessness during sleep, ir j ritability and a dozen ami one similar evidences of physical disoider are scon apparent. Keep the bowels free and clear and good health is assured. At the first sign of constipation give the child a te'aspoonful of Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin at bed-time and repeat the dose the following night, if necessary. You will find the child will quiehly re cover its accustomed good spirits, and eat and sleep normally. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is far preferable to salts, cathartics and purgative waters which are harsh in their action. Syrup Pepsin acts on ; the bowels easily and naturally, vet I positively, and causes no griping or discomfort. Its tonic properties build up the stomach, liver and bov.els, re storing their normal condition. Druggists everywhere sell Dr. Cald well's Syrup Pepsin in 50c and $1.00 bottles. If you have revet tried this remedy, send for a sample to Dr. W. B. Caldwell, 201 Washington St.. Mon ticello. III. He will gladly send a trial bottle without any expense to * you whatever.
