Annu.ticn and Coughing.

Coughing is one OF the nuisances that
no one has been able to abolish IN
churches or in theaters. A physician
however, claims that the coughing null
sance is a mere question of acoustics.
"There is a subtle connection De
tween the eur and the throat" he said.
'When the ear Is strained the throat
ia affected, and a cough Is the result.
When we can hear perfectly in church
or theater it never occurs to US to
cough. But when we bend forward
straining every nerve to catch the ac-
tors or preachers mufied syllables'
then we ind ourselves coughing every
little while. Build auditoriums with
