HEAVENWARD IN AN AIRSHIP. alph Johnstone Soars 9,714 Feet Grahame-White Wins Race With Disastrous Finish. New York, Oct. 31.-A baby Wrigh roadster, with Ralph Johnstone at th wheel, glided gracefully to earth i the twilight at the close of the inter national aviation meet at Belmor park this evening, with the barograp registe'ring a new world's record fo altitude. The little machine, of onl 35-horse power, had been up 9,71 feet, exceeding by 528 feet the heigh attained in France in October 1 b Henry Wynmalen, of Holland. But Johnston's sky-climbing fea was not the only notable incident c the closing day of the meet. Claud Grahame-White, the athletic Britist er, who carries away the Gordon Ben nett trophy, which takes the next in ternational tournament to EIgland sharpened the sporting appetite wit a challenge to John B. Moisant, c Chica-o. for another race from th park around the Statue of Liberty, i New York harbor, and return. Moisant, who won $10,000 for hi fast flight around the statue yesterda refused to consider the challenge un less White agreed to flying a 5( horse power Bleriot, a machbine equa in power to his own. Grahame-Whit< who made the statue flight in a 10C horse power Bleriot, declined to en tertain this counter offer, so that th chance for another thrilling fligh over Brooklyn is off.

"I was in a pretty purple haze u there," said Johnstone, after he ha finished his world's record flight, an "say, it was cold. I bad a couple C sweaters on, besides my rubber sui and face mask, but then at times felt as If- freezing. j "Several times I lost complete sigh of the earth, but when I shot clear t~ the haze I could see away down be low buildings and residences, whic looked like toy blocks. I have bee flying only since June, but it sure wa the most satisfactory trip I have eve made." As the crowds about the judgei stand cheered and cheered the an nouncement of Johnstone's wonderft air feature, J. Armstrong Dreel swoot ed down to earth.

It was so bad that I couldn't walk sometimes for a week. I tried doctors' medicine and had a rubber bandage for my leg, and bought everything that I heard of, but they all did me no good, until at last I was persuaded to try Sloan's Liniment. The first application helped it, and in two weeks my leg was well."-A. L. HUNTER, of Hunter, Ala.* Good for Athletes.

CASE ABANDONED. el a Grabfelder & Co Compromise Suit and - Will Pay State Fifteen Thou t sand Dollars. r Columbia State, 2nd. y Practically admitting that they had 4 overcharged the State to the extent t of thousands of dollars, Grabfelder & v Co., a liquor house of Louisville, has abandoned its injunction proceedings and will pay the sum of $15,000 to the f dispensary commission. The company was seeking to enjoin the commission . from further holding up the sum of - $18,000 due from the several county - dispensaries to the liquor house. , This case involved the constitution ality of the act af 1910 which provid If ed that funds, owing sundry liquor e houses by county dispensaries should 2 be first applied to the payment of claims in favor of the State found by s the commission to be due. The aban V donment of the litigation by Grabf.eld - er & Co., and settlement in accord - ance with the views of the commission ,I I would seem to indicate that the attor neys for Grabfelder regard the act i - as valid though this question is yet - to be determined by the supreme court e in another case. The conclusion of t this case leaves little to be collected under the provisions of the act of 19101 . except the Carolina Glass company - matter in which is involved several , thousand dollars. a AUTOMOBILE DISASTER. s - - Newspaper Men Injured on Savannah 2 Race Vourse-Slight Damage to Automobile.

Lynn, Mass., Oct. 31.-To save three small children who had wandered on to the Boston & Maine railroad tracks in front of an express, Stephenj Jones gave up his life today. The childeri were crossing the tracks un aware of the approaching train wh.mn Jones ran toward -the spot and warn Ied them of their danger by his shouts so that they escaped. He misjudged the specd and distance of the train and the engine struck him. He leaves a family.. Chinese Medicine. To the western mind there is noth ing more curious in Chinese customs than the persistency with which the Celestials have clung throughout the centuries to their system of medi cine, an odd mixture, for the most part, of superstition and hidebound conservatism. In the Chinese materia medica we find almost every variety of vegetable, animal and mineral substance, and these reach about the number of one thousand-a remedy, as some one has put it, for each disease to which, from the Chinese viewpoint, man is liable. Roughly speaking, the Chinese medi-' cines are derived about as follows: From the -mitals and stones 138 kinds of physic are extracted; from grasses and 'r egatables, such as roots, stubs, leaves, flowers and seeds, 350 kinds; from tr'ees, 130 kinds are found in the roots, bark, trunk, leaves, seeds, fwre; from .the human body 27 kinds; from veget%b1rs, such as cab 'ae, turnins and birds, thirty-four kinvis: from bugs, worms, shellfish, snakes, turtles and flies, 100 kinds; om fruits. forte kind; from vege thTs. such nR enth'reg. turnins. me] s etc., Stv-two kira. And to 91! The Chinese materia medica is in debted to the animal world to a con siderable extent. Nostrums are made from the teeth and horns of the "dia gon," musk from the musk deer, and the list also includes bear's gall, deer's glue, sheep's milk, glue made from a black mules' hide, rams horns, mares milk, hoof of a white horse, thigh of a bay horse, sheep's lungs, horns, kidneys and gall; deer's horn pulverized, and the bones, eyes and claws of the tiger. The skull, heart, brains, teeths and blood of the dog are much esteemed. With respect to the practice of the Chinese doctor it may be said that to Occidental notions, the most curious feature of it is that the physician is employed by the year, and that his salary stops when any of the family to which he ministers becomes ill, in other words, he is paid only for keep ing them in good health. Th'e Chinese doctor believes in giv in, "like for like"-that is to say, poison for poison-and so it follows that he employs in his practice almost mw-v element known to nature. His medicne is no joke-it is pretty far reaching. One odd thing about the Chinese doctor's prescriptions is that different medienes are ordered on different days for the same ailment, a feature of treatment that has its origin in the Chinese belief that the human system is not the same at all times. For in stance, the Celestials will tell you that there are some 50 to 60 kinds of heart! disease, 20 or 30 forms of consump tion and perhaps 100 varieties of dys nensia. Your true Chinese physician will claim that be can with correct ness successfully diagnose without asking his patient a-question. Opium and ginseng form no unimportant part of the Chinese materi-a medica, and when the doctor in the Flowery King dom has exhausted every other reme dy he turns to the above mentioned drugs. In addition to his medical knowledge the Chinese doctor also claims the power to exeycise thie jevil spi'rits through whose agency we humans are supposed to be afflicted. When a Chinese doctor administers a dose to his unfortunate patient he permits himself no halfway measures. Indeed, he gives the patient as large a dose as he thinks he can stand. For example, In one Chinese remedy for a cold there are some nine ingredients, and the pill wherein they are con tained is something larger than a boy's marble. Besides the medicine for the cold there may be included others by other complaints of which the physi can may susnect the natient to be af flicted. the theory in this instance be i~g that hy administering several kin'] of meiine at once the "channels" of! tlM' svstemn will conduct these reme dies to the different portions of the hndv and thns hit the right -spot.
