II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says, "Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation / have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large a
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney.
liver and bladder ailments, corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutraIzes the uric acid
which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle of
Swamp-Root by parcel post. Address DR..

enclose ten cents; also mention this paper.

denser, 1t is not only possible to tune
finely, but also, by changing the ratio
OF capacity to inductance used to re-
ceive the same signal, the sharpness Of
tuning can be varied.
The grid circuit of the tube is
coupled to the antenna circuit by
means Of few turns of wire on the
rotor of the vario-coupler. The tun-
ing OF the circuit is accomplished by
means of the grid variometer. The
grld condenser is the grid with respect
10 the fllament, so that the only ca
paclty In shunt with the inductance
IN the grid circuit is that between the
grlu and filament In the tube. The
shunt capacity gives the greatest in
ductance with very small value Of
voltage variation on the grid for a
gwen signal in the antenna. Since
a vacuum tube depends for it's opera
ton on the amplitude of the voltage
applied to the grid it is desirable to
use only very small values of shunt
capacity in the grid circuit. especially
on short waves.

Spinks, the musician, and his wife

Of course, and even commendable from
sentimental point of view, but the

RADIO
BEST SOURCES OF
FnAMENT CURRENT
Storage Battery in Conjunction
With a RectifIer Forms the
Ideal Power Supply.

When the filament current of a
vacuum tube is adjusted at normal
rated value small change in fla
ment current will cause large
change in the plate current. Suppose
a certain tube is used in a regenera-
tive receiver circuit. Not only does
variation in filament current
change the plate current and cause a
sound in the telephone receivers. but
the plate impedance is changed, and
the energy fed back to the grid cir
cult is changed, which causes the vari-
at1onS in plate current to be ampli-
fed.
In order, then, to maintain the plate
Importance constant and also to re-
duce tube noises to a minimum. es-
pecially If the receiver is used for
radiophone. reception, the ideal source
OF filament current should be at a
constant potential. A storage battery
represents the best source of constant
potential for filament current supply.
For those who have alternating cur
rent available and want the best re-
suits, storage battery in conjunc-
ton with rectifier forms the ideal
power supply for the filaments Of the
tube. This is especially true If am
plifers are used in conjunction with
the receiver, for any variations in fla
ment current causing noises in an am
plifier set will be amplified by the
successive tubes until the original
noises become a veritable roar.
If a single tube is used for recep-
ton without amplifiers it is possible

CONSIDER USE OF AIRSHIPS
pIoyment in Making Aerial OBJ
servations of the HimaIayas.

Consideration has been given to the
possibility Of aerial observations in
the Himalayas. The range, it appears,
has only six peaks above 27,0O0 feet
high, and an aviator flying at about
$4,000 or 24,000 feet should have no
difficulty in crossing if the highest
peaks were avoided, while, if he chose
certain of the gorges, an altitude of
some 10000 feet would suffice. The
greatest of the many obstacles to be
encountered is the mountain sickness,
which occurs in the highest attitudes
through deficiency of oxygen. The grad
ual climber, going afoot, is less handi-
capped in this respect than the avi-
ator rising suddenly from sea level in
his machine; on the other hand, the
pedestrian has more fatigue to under
go, and this practically equalizes mat
ters The chief consideration in any
case is an adequate supply Of oxygen
with a proper inhaler.

to use alternating current as source OF
filament current. There will always
be present in the telephone receivers
a 60-cycle hum, but by the use of GER
tain circuits and auxiliary apparatus,
this 6O-cycle hum can be reduced to
a minimum.
The use of alternating current as
source of power supply for the fila
ments of the vacuum tube has it's
greatest advantages in cheapness low
maintenance, and the small amount of
space needed for its apparatus. A
small stepdown transformer of such
ratio as to reduce the house lighting
current to six volts, and of sufficient
capacity to light the filament of one
tube. can be mounted inside a receiv-
ing cabinet as an integral part Of the
set.
The greatest disadvantage of using
alternating current on the tilament of
vacuum tube is the ever present 90
cycle hum, and since the supply cir
cult potential is not absolutely con-
slant, the filament current will vary
from time to time, making 1t neces-
sary to frequently adjust the fila
ment rheostat.
The simplest method of using al
ternating current for filament current
supply is to connect the usual "a
battery leads from the receiver to
toy stepdown transformer which Will
deliver six volts, as shown in Figure
r. This connection, however, will
cause very loud hum in the rece1v-
ers. Even though the incoming signal
will be Just as loud as though direct
current were used on the filament the
alternating current hum is so loud that
it will drown out the average signal.
Standard vacuum tubes require a po-
tential drop across the filament OF

would like to have your opinion as to
the real hazard involved.
Answer: There is no hazard in the
amateur radio receiving stations. 1t in
