II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
II 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 DIR. Kilmer's Swamp Root, a
preparation l 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 fulfills al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive sample bottle of
Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Address
Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y,
and enclose ten cents; also mention this
paper. Large and medium size bottles

VAGARIES OF VACUUM TUBES
Peculiar Actions That Always Astonish
and Sometimes Friehten the
Amateur Radioist.

Everybody who has had anything to
do with vacuum tubes has from time
to time had them do unexpected things
and give results that at the moment
seem beyond explanation.
The explanation Of several charac-
teristics of these miniature giants
which are met with in daily operation
is sure to prove of great interest to
the amateur. In cases where the ac-
tions of the tube are not understood
these peculiarities have sometimes
frightened people.
One instance Of a newborn fans
fright was brought to attention in
letter of inquiry. The instrument had
just been set up and was being oper-
ated for the first time The tubes had
been firmly adjusted and were just at
the spilling point and-over they went,
giving vent to the most unearthly
sounds. The embryo enthusiast who
looked upon the audion tube as an
electric light, thought 1t was going to
explode. He jumped away from the
instrument and out of the room, and
did not venture near II for several
hours, and then only after reaching
round the corner of the door with q
long stick and pulling the battery
switch off.
Similar instances have come to at
tention when bulbs generate vari-col-
ored vapors in the vacuum chamber.

tanning the crystal Of silicon or gale
ma on the strip of metal and allowing
the spring to make contact with the
surface of the crystal the detector is
complete and ready for operation.
A complete crystal detector can be
purchased from IS cents to 81, de-
pending upon the type.
Two other pieces of apparatus are
necessary that cannot be readily con-
structed-they are the telephone con-
denser and the receivers. A tele-
phone condenser to be used in shunt-
ing across the phones can be pur-
chased for about 90 cents.
For use with a radio receiver of
this type 1t is recommended that a
pair of 3,000-ohm, Murdoch type, No.
SO receivers, costing So, be purchased.
These are all the necessary parts
needed for the complete receiver.

passing. that in addition to the color
full scaris, many handsome matched
suit colorings have also been brought
out for those who prefer monotone

ticularly attractive in heather mix

With all due appreciation Of the or
namental value of the knitted silk
scarf, its greatest asset is its genu-
Inc usefulness for the summer time
Those who have the knack, add fur
ther glory to these scarfs by artfully
throwing them about the throat with
studied grace. Young girls are taking
particular delight in thrusting the two
fringed ends under the belt of their
suits, sort of tuxedo collar fashion.

HOW TO LISTEN IN

There are two variables in our radio
receiver that require adjustment
when IL is desired 10 listen-in; first,
the detector, and second. the slide po-
sition on the tuner. Once the slider
position has been determined for any
given transmitting station. II Is only
necessary 10 adjust the detector to
pick up that same station again.
To operate the receiver for the first
time IT is best TO wait until some

when a nearby electric light is snapped

TIPS TO THE RADIoIsT

Fired % callber rifle shells
make good switch points for tun-
ing coils and receiving trans
formers.
A single wire aerial 100 to
80 feet long is sufficient for
local and long distance reception
of broadcasting stations.
Do not string aerials across
the street or across electric
wires. Keep antenna wires off
electric light and telephone
poles.
Stranded copper or solid cop
per wire should be used. Phos-
phor bronze wire if obtainable
is stronger but not superior to
copper.
Good contact with a piece Of
mineral like galena can be had
by wrapping II In tinfoil OF
course, the top Of the crystal
is left exposed.
The brass ends of large car
fridge shells make splendid
crystal detector cups. They
should be cleaned out thoroughly
before they are used.
The winding of cardboard
tubes from oatmeal boxes may
be improved greatly If the tube
Is first heated in an oven for
about 10 minutes TO take out
the moisture and then wound;
on better still shellac il while
it Is still warm and leave II
to soak IN.
IN winding tuning coils with
bare wire q thread should be
wound on with the wire. This
will separate each turn. When
the coil is finished tile thread
can be taken off. Shellac should
be applied Immediately. When
the shellac is dry the copper
wire will hold its place.
