Means Of communication had been
n hobby in tho Bel family long be
fore the inventor of the telephone was
born. Two generations back. Alex.
ahder Bell became noted for invent
ing a system for overcoming STAN
nterinS speech. while his son Aiexnn-
der Melville Boil. father of the inven.
tor OF the telephone, perfected a sys-
tenn of visible speech.
With this heritage. the son. born In
Edinburgh. Scotland. in 1877, under
took similar experiments while still q
lad, He constructed an artificial
skull Of gutta percha and Indian rub
Der that would pronounce several
words in weird tone when blown Into
by q hand bellows. Al the age Of Is
he became. hke his father. n teacher
OF clocution. and an Instructor of dea
mutes.
Bell reached a crisis In his life at
the ago OF az. vhen he was threatened
with tuberculosis. Tho white plague
cause the death of his two brothers
m the Bell family migrated TO
Brantford. Canadn.
A meeting at that time with Sir
| Charles Wheatstone, h English In
ventor Of the telegraph, fired tho
young siocutionist with ambition to
invent . musical. or multiple. tele-
graph, which eventually turned out
to be a telephone.
His father while giving a lecture In
Boston. proudly mentioned the sons
success in teaching London deaf
mutes. This led the Boston Board OF
Education to offer tho young Bell
$500 to introduce his system in the
newly opened school for deaf mutes.
He was then "a years old, and In
stantiy became the educational sensa-
| tion of the day. He was appointed q
professor in Boston university. and
| opened his instantly successful
School of Vocal Physiology"
But teaching interfered with his In.
| venting. and he soon gave up all but
two pupils. One of these was Miabel
| Hubbard. of a wealthy family. She
had lost her hearing and speech in
an attack of scarlet fever while n
baby. II was she who later became
Bells wife.
Bell spent the following three years
in night work in a cellar in Salem.
Mass. His money needs were met by
Gardiner G. Hubbard. his future
father.in-iaw. and Thomas Sanders,
the owner OF the cellar. As he worked
he began TO see the possibility of CON
veying speech over an electrically
charged wire-the telephone. He used
a dead mans ear for a transmitter.
III I can mako a deaf mute talk
Bell had declared. IT can make iron
talk"
His first success came while testing
his instruments in his new quarters
in Boston. Thomas A. Watson, Bells
assistant. had struck a clock spring
at one end of the wire and Bell was
electrified to ear the sound in an
other room. For 40 weeks the instru-
ment struggled as II were for human
speech. Then on March 10. 1876.
Watson became almost insane with
joy whom he heard over the wire
Bells voice saying:
Mr.. Watson. CONT here. I want
you"
On his 29th birthday, Bell received
his patent. II was at tho Centennial
exposition held at Philadelphia, two
months later. where men OF science
the world over who la come to ex-
mime and study tho numerous inven-
tom exhibited. saw Prof. Bell give a
practical demonstration OF the trans
mission of the human voice by cleo

CAN YOU RECOGNIZE
 CANCER SYMPTOMS?

'In the United States, one person in every ten over forty years of a ge dies of cancer" writes Dr- Francis Carter Wood in the December De Hneator. ''The disease is especially prevalent among adult women. Many leading physicians believe that pOssi- bly three-quarterS of these deaths and the suffering in all cases might be avoided if the public as well as doctors and nurses knew the facts
 Thousands of healthy people are living In America today who years ago were successfully operated on for cdnCer.
 one of the chief causes for the ap- palIing number of deaths by cancer is that people wait too long to consult a physician. The beginning of a can ger Is almost always painless. When pain begins, the growth has already extended so far that 1t Is pressing on the nerves. If you or some one in your family has q single symptom that resembles cancer. go to the best physician you know and make sure 1t Is not cancer Do not be afraid of seeming fooIishly alarmed. Better to he laughed at than told that you have come too late.
 We know that cancer is most frequently caused by persistent irrita- ton or inflammation of a tissue or an orEan. Irritation means anything that keeps up a sore condition If you have a broken tooth it irritates the tongue or cheek; If you eat highly seasoned foods or drink alcohol it lritates the stomach. and an irritated stomach is more apt to grow a cancer than one not irritaJed. Women. for instance. practically never have can cer Of the lip or tongue: they take better care of the mouth and teeth than men. and they do not smoke pipes or chew tobacco.

How Exercise and Massage VIII Yield New Neck-Beauty

strengthen the muscles which are so important to the beauty contour.
 This massage simply means pressing on the muscles firmly with the back of the hands, and the best position to take IS tHis:
 Place your hands with backs pressing against your chin and fHger-tips meet Ing under the middle of your chin.
 Now move your hands in toward your neck slOping upward toward the lobes of your ears, al the while pressing firm ly against your neck.
 Repeat this at least ten times, making the movement slow and firm. You should feel your muscles taking on re- ueyved tone and vigoT. Frequent repe- tittou should make this feeling grow showing that your nAbby muscles are tightening
 Go through thIs massage movement when you get up in the morning and before you go to bed at night It is well to follow 1t up by skipping your neck with yoUr palms.
