Kansas City, Mo.—Driven by A 13-
bile wind from the southwest, seven
10,000-foot rapacity gas balloons salt-
Id away frutu here today in the na
lional balloon race. The two leaders
n the contest will be privileged to
tall two oi .he three balloons that wilt
represent the Toiled Stales In the
Jordon lU-nnett eup race width starts
!rom here next October 4.
Every pilot in the race was pleased
t hen the wind carried them off to tho
lortheast. A loiift--pulh now stretches
before them. There is, of course, dan-
ter of falling into some of the north-
tin lakes, tint none of the pilots ap-
pear pertubed over this disadvantage,
ill of the aeronauts ate provided with
Ife preservers. Then, too, last night
lie Aero club of America, which con-
.rolled the race, ruled that disquaMfl*
:atlon would not follow for any of the
mntestants who should be so unfor.
:tmute as to alight in water.
Not a serious accident marred the
start. Five of the aerial craft got
lway on what experienced balloonists
mid were perfect starts. Too much
ballast caused the Topeka II to cob
llde with a section of canvas fence
lhat enclosed the aviation field. The
occupants of the basket were Jarred
jnly sMghtly, and after a couple of
bags of sand had been dropped the
balloon righted Itself and sailed away
prettily. The Million Population Club,
piloted by John W. Berry, did not fill
perfectly, and refused to rise when
tlrst released. Freed a second time It
climbed slo%ly upward for about 150
feet and drifted at that height for ap-
proximately a mile. The dropping ot
ballast at this point caused the bal-
loon to rise gradually. When It pass-
ed out of sight, an hour after the start,
It had ascended to an estimated height
qf 2,000 feet.

Hitchell of Chicago were missing to-
lay when the steamer William H.
Hack of Cleveland arrived here with
he surviving passengers and crew of
he Mitchell, which was sunk in col-
ision with the Mack In a dense fog
iff Vermillion Point, Lake Superior,
early today.
All the passengers and most of the
crew of the Mitchell climbed to the
leek of the Mack by means of a lad-
der from the stern of the Mitchell,
most of them escaping In their night
clothes and losing their personal ef-
fects. Three men and three women,
however, left the Mitchell in a yawl
which soon capsized. Miss Fay Clem-
ens, daughter of the lost steward,
proving herself a heroine In the res-
cue of her fellow passengers In the
small boat. Miss Clemens called to
the crew of the Mack to throw a line
and she fastened It to the opposite
side of the boat in such a way that the
Mack’s crew by pulling on the line
were able to pull the yawl right side
up.
The two vessels that crashed to-
gether were both of steel structure and
about 400 feet long.
PITIFUL SIGHT WITH ECZEMA
A few days after birth we noticed
SB Inflamed spot on our baby’a hip
which aoon began spreading until
baby was completely covered even In
bla eyee, ear* and scalp. For eight
weeka he was bandaged from head to
foot He could not have a stitch of
clothing on. Our regular physician
pronounced It chronic eczema. He Is
a very able physician and ranks with
the best In this locality, nevertheless,
the disease began spreading until
baby was completely covered. He
was losing flesh so rapidly that we be-
came alarmed and decided to try Cuti-
cura 8oap and Ointment.
“Not until I commenced using Cutl-
cura Soap and Ointment could we tell
what he looked like, as we dared not
wash him, and 1 had been putting one
application after another on him. On
removing the scale from his head the
hair came off, and left hint entirely
bald, but since we have been using
Cutlcura Soap and Ointment he has
as much hair as ever. Four weeks
after we began to use the Cutlcura
Soap and Ointment he was entirely
cured. I don’t believe anyone could
have eczema worse than our baby.
“Before we used the Cutlcura Rem-
edies we could hardly look at him, he
was such a pitiful sight. He would
fuss until I would treat him, they
semed to relieve him so much. Cutl-
cura Soap and Olrftment stand by
themselves and the result they quick-
ly and surely bring is their own rec-
ommendation.” (Signed) Mrs. T. B.
Rosser, Mill Hall, Pa., Feb. 20, 1911.
Although Cutlcura Soap and Oint-
ment are sold by druggists and deal-
ers everywhere, a sample of each,
with 32-page book, will be mailed free
on application to “Cutlcura,” Dept.
19 K, Boston.

THE TRUTH ABOUT BLUIN0L
Talk No. 11.
The well often runs dry where they
make bottle blue. It’s easy to see.
Only a little quantity, say half a cent
or a trifle more, in the double
strength kind and a large bottle of
water and the delusion Is completed.
Buy RED CROSS BALL BLUE. Get
a pure blue. Makes clothes snowy
white. ASK YOUR GROCER.
A great and valuable knowledge is
to know when net to talk. Any one
with the power of speech can talk, but
It takes a wise head to keep silent.

Seattle, Wash.—Details of the great
torm on the Japanese coast July 10
,-ere brought by the steamship Ku-
neritk Wharv, which arrived today
rorn the Orient. Several lives were

Tidal waves swept the port of Alas-
a, where the water rose five feet and
he M4yi Maru was washed ashore

slied the breakwater, the Kanon
,taru, 1,200 tons, was thrown uppon n
tier and twenty-four sailing vessels
vere wrecked.
It Is estimated that seventy vessels
vere wrecked or damaged between

Settled Them.
"I’ve a sight o' sons—thirteen alto-
gether,” remarked a prosperous old
farmer, “and all of 'em's done me
credit save the three eldest, who
sowed wild oats at a pretty rapid
rate, and then came home and sad-
dled my shoulders with the harvest.
’Well, I own I was glad to see ’em
back, and I feasted ’em, and petted
’em, and set ’em on their legs again,
only to see 'em skedaddle off afresh
when things had slowed down, with
all the cash they could lay hands on.
“That thereabouts sickened me, so
I called the rest of ’em together and
said:
“ ‘There’s ten of you left, and If any
of you *ud like to follow t’other three
I won’t try to stop you. But, under-
stand this, though there may be a few
more prodigal sons, there’ll be no
more fatted calves. I've killed the
last of ’em!'
“And,” continued the old man, tri-
umphantly, ’Tve had trouble wT none
of ’em since!”

Farmers and Bankers Life Insurance Com-
pany of this city continues its splendid
progress and now already reports that it
has passed the fflOO,000.00 mark by a large
margin. The gut-cess of this Company is
certainly remarkable and also indicative
of the welcome which Kansans generally
extend to home institutions.
