FLYING TO ALASKA.
Ford-built Liberty motors carried
the four army air-planes which on Oc-
tober 20 completed the 9,000 mile
journey from Mitchell field, Long Is-
land, to Nome, Alaska, and return.
The fleet was greeted over New York
city by a flotilla of forty army planes
which escorted it to Mineola. The re-
turning planes touched their wheels
to earth at 3:15 in the afternoon.
The Alaskan flying expedition, com-
manded by Captain St. Clair Street,
undertook the journey to demonstrate
the durability
and motors, and to effect the estab-
lishment of an aerial route to the
nortnwestern corner of the American
continent and Asia. Such a route
would bring mail from Alaska to the
States in two or three days, whereas
the present method of transportation
requires thirty days.
“Talk about service,” said Captain
Street. “Those planes and motors
sure stood up. Why, the only trouble
we had on the entire trip was caused
by the worst bit of weather I've ever
flown through or want to fly through.
We had everything—rain, snow, hail
and sleet, clouds, fog and mist. But
we kept right on flying.
“The 230 miles of glaciers we tra-
versed was a wonderful sight, but
there would have been little hope for
rescue had we cracked up in that wil-
derness. Altogether, it was a rough
trip. I never want to fly through such
weather again, but the planes stood it
magnificently. Instead of battered
hulks, flopping to earth after winded
flight, they looked brand new. Even
the turn-buckles were polished and
the motors looked as if they had just
come off the testing block.
“We never changed a spark plug.
Never a cylinder missed on us the en-
tire trip. The motors are in as goo
condition today as when we set out.”
Before the flight, all the pilots ask-
ed for ships equipped with Ford made
Liberty motors.
Due to the nature of the work which
engaged the expedition, the fleet re-
quired a period of three months to
complete the trip. Since all of the
original motors completed the jour-
ney without repairs or replacements,
this is believed to be a record for ae-
rial navigation. It will be recalled
that during the war, it was generally
the practice to overhaul the airplane
motors after approximately each
twenty hours of flight.
This is the second notable event in
which Ford Liberty motors have fig-
ured prominently, the first being the
trans-Atlantic jump of the Ford Lib-
erty-equipped N C 4, a feat which
commanded world-wide interest.

Statistics showing that complaints

Housework
is a Burden
Woman's lot is a weary one at best.
But with backache and other distress-
ing kidney ills life indeed becomes a
burden. Doan’s Kidney Pills have
made life brighter for many Belle-
fonte women. Read what Mrs. J. T.
Gordon, 130 E. Beaver St., Bellefonte,
says:
“I and another member of my fam-
ily, have found great benefit from the
use of Doan’s Kidney Pills which
were procured at Parrish’s Drug
store. My trouble was dull, constant
backache which kept me in misery at
times. Mornings I was so sore and
lame I dreaded to begin my house-
work, for it was a burden. Doan’s
Kidney Pills, taken according to di-
rections restored my kidneys:to.a nor-
mal condition. I have had no return
of the backache or kidney disorders.
Doan’s surely have my gratitude for
the lasting benefit they brought me.”
(Statement given April 12, 1914).
On October 19, 1918, Mrs. Gordon
i said: “I gladly confirm my previous
statement for Doan’s Kidney Pills, as
I certainly have found them to be all
that is claimed for them. Doan’s

Seed Potatoes for Growers in Penn-
sylvania.
In his efforts to improve the quality
and yield of potatoes in Lancaster
county, Farm Bureau Agent Bucher,
it was announced, had bought right
out of the fields of northern Michigan
a carload of disease-free Russet seed
potatoes, that will be sold at cost to
Lancaster county farmers.
and as soon as a number of local po-
tato growers were appraised of the
fact there were requests for at least
half the lot, the price being in the
neighborhood of $2.25 per bushel.
The Russet potato has come into
strong popularity in Lancaster as well
as other counties of Pennsylvania the
past few years, being both of fine
quality and a strong yielder. Out of
118 tests conducted last summer on
the Russet potato by Prof. E. L. Nix-
on, of State College, the Russet prov-
ed the largest yielder in all but two
tests.
The past summer Prof. Nixon him-
self went to Michigan and personally
rouged all the fields where these
seed potatoes were taken, so as to
have them absolutely disease-free.
The car holds about 1,100 bushels,
There were but 20,000 bushels of seed,
and Prof. Nixon in his recent trip, in
which Farm Agent Bucher joined,
picked up 16,000 bushels, Lancaster
county getting one carload. The rest
will go to Dauphin, Lehigh, Centre,
Cumberland, Franklin, Lebanon, Car-
bon and Schuylkill counties.
It was stated at the Farm Bureau
that the potatoes would be distributed
from Landisville, where they were
shipped from Michigan, and that small
amounts might still be allotted to ear-
ly applicants.—Ex.

HOOD’S SARSAPARILLA.
Rheumatism--Relief
From Its Dreadful Pains and Aches,
Stiffness, Soreness—
Is properly to be sought in a good
blood medicine, because authorities
say rheumatism is a blood disease;
acid has entered the blood, settling
in the muscles and joints. That's
what makes the sharp, sudden, shot-
like pains, causing you to jump and
cringe in agony.
Hood’s Sarsaparilla comprises rem-
edies that every physician prescribes
for rheumatism, combined with other
blood-purifying, tonic and strength-
building ingredients in a formula
vastly superior in make-up and in cur-
ative power. It does give positive re-
lief. Thousands say so. So will you.
For a fine laxative take Hood’s Pills.
