Here's the Difference.

But, with the telephone it is an en-
tirely different matter, for every tele-
phone must have it's own wire connec
ton with central Office. If the sub
scriber wants to change from party line
to direct or from direct to party line
certain changes must be made in the
underground wires. If an old residence
Is reconstructed fer office purposes the
increase in telephones may be tenfold,
though the consumption of gas or water
or electric light may not perceptiblE
increase. Even if it does the original
pipes or wires can take care of the jump,
but underground work is necessary in Or
der to st-aighten out the telephone gain.
Probably every one remembers local
conditions before the beginning Of the
work Of putting the telephone. telegraph
and electric light wires Underground. In
cidentally. most folks don't know that
way back in 1874, when Morse con-
structed his first telegraph line from
Baltimore to Washington, he attempted
to use an underground cable and actually
laid about seven miles of it. So far so
good. But it happened that the insula-
ton of this seven-mile strip was so hope
lessly bad that further work in this di-
rection was abandoned and a pole line
on insulators.- And this was the stand
ard practice when the telephone became
| a commercial possibility.
This Is the Reason.
But it didn't remain the standard
practice in the large cities SO very long,
and it doesn't take a high-brow to read
lily see the reason why. For telephone
lines increased SO much more rapidly
! than telegraph lines had ever done that
| the companies were soon confronted, with
| a new problem, that of bringing thou
sands upon thousands of wires into the
central building. At first racks of
| enormous size and weight were attached
| to the roof and to these racks the wires
| were fastened in every conceivable man
| ner. But soon it became physically i'm
| possible to add more wires, and expert
| ments were begun. perforce. with various
| kinds of cable. Why, right here in Wash
| ington, which has always been a progress
| sive city, telephonicaIly, rubber insulated
| lead encased cables were laid as far back
| as 1883.
It's interesting. too. to note that right
| at this time a. quite original form of
| underground construction was undertaken.
| Porcelain wirecarriers. pierced with holes,
| were placed about four feet apart in an
underground wooden trough, bare or cot
| ton insulated wires laid and the trough
| filled with tar. That might have been an
excellent method for a Greenland teie-
phone system. but the inventor hadn't
taken into account the festive Washington
| summer, for as eoon as it got real good
| and hot the tar melted and flowed into
| the basement Of the exchange and the
wires crossed and went out of business
| in jiffy.
! Then the solid system was tried and
continued in successful operation for
many years-cables in an underground

Weak Kidneys and

Here is simple home made mix
ture as given by an eminent author
lily on kidney diseases, who makes
the statement in New York daily
newspaper that it will relieve almost
any case of kidnew trouble if taken
before the stage of Bright's disease
He states that such symptoms as
lame back, pain in the side, frequent
desire to urinate. especially at night
painful and discolorod urinaton, are
reedilv overcome. Here is the re-
cipe; try it:
Fluid Extract Dandelion,s one half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one
ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsapa-
rila, three ounces. Take a tea
spoonful after each meal and at bed
time.
A well known druggist here in
town is authority that these in
gradients are all harmless and easily
mixed at home by shaking well in a
bottle. This mixture has peculiar
healing and soothing effect upon the
entire kidney and Urinary structure
and often overcomes the worst forms
of Rheumatism in just little while.
This mixture is said to remove all
blood disorders and cure the Rheu.
matism by forcing the Kidneys to
filter and strain from the blood and
system all uric acid and foul. decom-
posed waste matter, which cause
these Affections. Try it If you are
not well. Save the prescription.
