Prof. Tufts, with DR.. J. c. Whit

ed the so-called "University," or
'long" system of pruning deciduous
fruit trees. Pruning demonstrations
were given in nearly every fruit
growing county in California during
the past three years, and so remark
able have been the results that the
pruning system of nearly rs per cent
of all deciduous fruit trees in the state
have been changed to the new system.

PROJECTING THE HUMAN VOICE FOUR MILES

[ cry technical question arising in the telephone art are made. It consti- tJhtes one of the very important agen- cies of the Bell System. to develop the art of telephony. and maintain Americas supremacy in speech com munication.
 The projecting of the human voice over the remarkable distance of near ly four miles was an accomplishment resulting from exact and painstaking | scientific development. There was first required aztelephone transmitter so perfect in it's operation that it re- produced with absolute fidelity the complicated waves of the human
 voice in the form of electrical cur
 rents. In the second place, an am plifer was required which would
 magnify with equal accuracy the mi mute currents generated by the trans
 nnitter. Finally, the large telephone receivers attached to the sound pro- jeotors are of such skillful design that they reconvert the magnified electri- cal currents in sound waves without
 the slightest distortion. In order that the sound waves produced by the pro l jectorS should be heard across the valley nearly four miles away, the amplifier ma gnif1ed the electrical en- | transmitter about 10000. 900, 900 1 times, and this ten billion fold ampli- 1 f1cation was produced without in any way destroying or distorting the or | igina1 quality of the speakers voice. The loud speaker involves appara- tus which is exactly similar in princi- | pie to the equipment of every long
 distance telephone line. Every long distance telephone circuit involves,
 among many other things, a. transmit | ter, an amplif1er and a receiver. and | the successful design and mainten- | ance of such circuits was necessarily preceded by very far-reaching studies | of all the elements comprising the i circuit. The loud speaker is, there | fore, a natural by-product of the re-
 searches underlying long distance tel | ephony

SMALLPOX DEPENDS

 The disease is today negligible in communities where popular sentiment has sustained a strong centralized compulsory vaccination act. but has shown a tendency to rise where local authorities have been given discre- tionary powers as to enforcement of the prevailing vaccination laws. Where vaccination laws have lack ed compulsory features. or there have been no laws, the rate is high.
 The better the status of vaccination in the law, said the Public Health -lService, the lower is the smallpox rate. In those states where vaccina- ton of school children ds generally required smallpox is rare, averaging g three cases a year for community of a hundred thousand inhabitants, Whereas in the states where there is such requirement 113 cases per year is the average for each hundred thousand persons.

What Is undoubtedly the 1oudest reproduction Of the human voice on tration of 8 powerful loud speaker" :" recently made in the Catskill Noun tains.
 This loud speaker is designed pri- mari1y for addressing very large pub lie gatherings. It Is mora powerful, loud speaker" which President Harding used in his inaugural ad- dress, at which his. voice was heard with the greatest ease by a crowd of 125,000 persons, some of whom stood TOO feet from the speakers stand.
 The installation at Napanoch in the Catskills projected the voice S.S miles, and a simple computation shows that loud speaker" the entire population of the United States could be placed without uncomfortable crowding. The demonstration showed that speaker standing in front of the telephone transmitter, which ordinarily forms a part of the loud speaker" could have his voice projected over this great area, and also proved that the same magnif1cation could be given the voice of a speaker 1000 miles away, when he talked over a long distance telephone line connected directly to the amplif1er of the device: The loud speaker in the Catsktlls was connected to the Bell long distance telephone circuit to Chicago. and the words spoken into the ordinary tal- ephone transmitter in Chicago were clearly heard over this enormous area.
 The loud speaker includes tele- phone transmitter, an amplifier, and several large wooden horns or sound projectors supported by a low steel tower. Each protector Is equipped at its small end with a very powerful telephone receiver for converting into sound waves the variable electric cur rents supplied it. The purpose of the amplifier is to magnify the very minute currents produced by the transnaitter, which are then led to the receivers.
 The apparatus is the product of the research laboratory maintained by the Bell Telephone System. In this lab oratory, which is the largest devoted to the application of science to hu- man affairs, 2,S00 persons are em- ploYed and exhaustive studies of ev-

THERE'S DEATH IN THE POT'
| Celebrated London Doctor Used the Above to Emphasize the Danger of Overeating. Worse Than 0vereatinz is Failure
 to Eliminate Waste.

Nature could not devise a way to feed and repair the body without the production of considerable waste matter. But Nature provided for the regular, thorough elimination of such waste. To disregard her in- tention Is to break natural law.
 Whether you help Nature by wise or foolish means is left to your own judgment. To simply force bowel movement is unwise, unnatural and ineffective. You can choose harsh, drastic, violently acting drugs or take such without caring what their action or effect is, or you can select some old time-proven, trial-tested remedy, that has been used for TO years or more by thousands of people all over the world, with the result that it has won an enviab1e reputa- ton as a reliable household remedy. Take Beecham's for example. All the world knows Beecham's; good ly part of the world uses Beecham' s, has been using it for years, handing it's use down from father to son, from mother to daughter, for gen eration after generation, recommend ing it to others. In spite of such extensive and general use, who ever heard complaint or criticism of Beecham's? That in itself is a powerful recommendation.
 Don't take anything for granted. Reason it out. All druggists sell Beecham's-- glad to sell them.
 Beecham's reputation has been made by its users not by its sellers
