OLD LIBERTY BELL
TALKS WITH FRISCO

Philadelphia, Feb. 13.-Telephonic
communication between Philadelphia
and San Francisco was formally in
augurated today over the Bell system
by three taps on the Liberty Bell, the
sound of which over the wire was the
signal to d bugler in the far western
city to play The Star Spangled Ban
ner." The strains of the national an
them were distinctly and clearly heard
by two hundred persons who held re-
ceiyers in this city Mayor Rolph in
San Francisco speaking to Mayor

To Withstand Earthquakes.

Earthquake construction has now
reached very practical stage in the
seismic districts OF Italy, where all
new buildings are being erected under
strict supervision with respect to their
ability to resist earthquake shocks.
Professor Omori, the Japanese author
ity, has estimated that 1913 per cent of
the deaths in the great Messina earth
quake of 1908 would have been pre-
vented if the buildings had been prop
erly constructed.

CATARREl OF THE THROAT
Is Liable to Produce Catarrhal Deafness

tial loss of hearing is apt to be over
looked. A person may lose half his
hearing before he knows It.
For instance, suppose a man can
hear his watch four feet from the ear.
If he loses his hearing to the extent
that he can only hear the tick of his
watch two feet from the ear he may
not suspect it at all His hearing is
good enough for ordinary purposes
He goes on without the slightest sus-
picion that he is losing his hearing
He may have ringing in the ear, or
cracking and swapping sounds in the
ear, or a feeling of pressure in the
ear, but he Is not aware that he is
losing his hearing.
Testing the Hearing.
1t is good thing to test your hear
ing with watch. First hold the
watch against your ear, then move it
gradually away from the ear and see
how far away from the watch you
can actually hear it tick. Try 1t on
the other side and see if both ears
are alike. If you find that you are
unable to hear the watch on both sides
alike and at a distance of four feet
from the ear, you may know that
deafness has already begun. You
should begin taking Peruna at once.
Gargle the throat with cold, strong
salt water, as directed in the Ills of
Life" sent free by Peruna Co, Co
lumbus, Ohio. Persist in this treat
ment until cure is effected.
The Best Way to Gargle.
Sometimes catarrh of the nasal
pharyngeal space will cause an ac-
cumulation of secretions in the throat,
that completely fill the space. Unless
these secretions are promptly re-
moved by frequent gargling polypi
may be formed. Once formed the
polypi or adenoids, as they are some
times called, will require long time
with the gargling to remove. Gar
cling according to the proper method
will sometimes remove polypi or ade-
noids, and no surgical operation is
required.
In order to understand exactly what
is meant by proper gargling send for
n free copy of the 'Ills of Life"
During the whole course OF sargling
Peruna must be taken according to
directions on the bottle. y
Q People who object to liquid msdi-
cinss can now obtain Psruna Tablets.
