writes as follows: 81 suffered for four
years, with womanly troubles, and during
this time, could only sit up for little
while, and could not walk anywhere at

in my left side.
The doctor was called in, and his treat

soon confined 10 my bed again. After
that, nothing seemed to do me any good.

to the acquisition of telephone lines
than the telegraph. Several reasons
are given for this attitude by con-
gressmen who have studied the ques-
ton. In the first place the telegraph
is quite likely to be displaced as a
commercial proposition by the wire
less. In the next place the telegraph
companies are enormously overcapi-
talized and the government would be
buying a quantity of water in taking
them over:
In addition to this, many telegraph
wires are of iron which is fast rot
ting away, while all telephone wires
are of copper and cannot rust out.
Then too, telephone wires can be
used for telegraphing while a tele-
phone conversation is going on. A
number of messages can be sent over
a single wire at the same time. Fur

Their than this, the examination made
by the Commerce Commission, while
not yet official, seems to show that
telephone capitalization is much
nearer representing real values than
telegraph.
But, however these questions may
finally be determined, it is almost a
certainty that with a majority of the
House Postoffice Committee about
ready to favor the project of govern
ment ownership and operation, and
with practical majority of the In
terstate Commissioners unofficially
in favor of the same thing, this coun-
try will see the plan in effect in a
reasonable short time. 1t may be pre-
dicted without reservation that one
or more bill to this end will be intro
duced at the coming short session
which convenes in December.

GENERAL INFORMATION BUREAU

Think of the thousands of nickels
that would be paid in addition to
what is now paid if there was an eff
ficiently conducted general informa-
ton bureau, organized and prepared
to answer such questions as may be
asked daily by people who would be
willing to pay even five cents for each
question answered The large ma
jority of questions are such that the
cost of answers would be so small as
to be less than one-quarter of cent
if the bureau is properly organized,
with subdivisions for each class of
information, each subdivision having
a direct number and sufficient auxil-
larry lines to at all times give access
to the calling parties.
Such a bureau would have to be
organized so that directory or page
in the telephone directory would en-
able one to select the number to call
for a certain kind Of information,
somewhat as follows:
Incoming Trains Information
Outgoing Trains Information

BY HAROLD D. STROUD

The telephone systems, with their
vast network of wires radiating from
the central offices to the thousands
upon thousands of homes and offices,
could, if the management of the COM
panies so desired, be made means of
comforting greater benefits to the
people who subscribe for the tele-
phones, as well as the general public.
~ There are millions of questions
that would be asked every year, and
for which the companies could derive
an added revenue that would make
Information service profitable, but
they have held firmly to the position
that their duty stops with providing
the means of REORGANIZATION.
There are no grounds upon which
to compel telephone company to do
more than produce telephone service,
and they have right to take the
position that they do. 1t Is hard to
assume that any company should go
outside of it's recognized path of duty
to tighten the burdens of the public
it serves, even when it can do so at
a profit to its stockholders
