dftion Cf the grid circHA i-J-k-l,. The battery in the grid circuit is called the "C" battery.
 As start let us suppose that e. battery voltage is zero. The opera ton of the three electrode tube would then be exactly like that of two-elec- trode tube, just as though there were no grid. Like two-electrode tube when the iilament CD is brought to incandescence by the "A" battery steady stream of electrons will he giv- on off, which will be drawn over to the plate F.. Plate F is maintained at q positive potential with respect to the filament by the "B" battery. Now if the grid is made positive with respect to the tilamenr, 1t is pos sble to accelerate the flow of the cleo tron stream from the filament to the plate; if the grid is made negative with respect to the filument, the flow of the electron stream from the fila ment to the plate will he retarded. Or in other words, by making the grid positive or negative with respect to the tilament. it is possible to increase or cOunteract the space charge. The third electrode or grid thus offers a means of controlling the current in the

Thousands Have Kidney Trouble and Never
 Suspect It
Applicants for Insurance Often
 Reflected.

Judging from reports from druggists who are constantly in direct touch with the public, there is one preparation that has been very successful in overcoming these conditions The mild and healing influence of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its remarkable record of success.
 An examining physician for one of the prominent Life Insurance Companies, in an interview on the subject, made the as tonishing statement that one reason why SO many applicants for insurance are re- jected is because kidney trouble is SO common to the American people, and the large majority of those whose applca- tions are declined do not even suspect that they have the disease.
 Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root is on sale at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes medium and large. However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co.,, Bingham ton, N. Y., for a sample bottle. Wher writing be sure and mention this paper. Advertisement.

Any device which will pass electrici- ty in one direction and will wholly or partially obstruet the flow in the op- posite direction is termed rectifier
 because when connected in the path of an alternating current it will sup press one-half of each cycle and there fore the circuit will be traversed by pulsating direct current.

Florida Lady Was In Miserable Con dition, But Says She Found Cardui

Blountstown. Fla.-In explaining how she found Cardui so helpful during change of life, Mrs. Ella NJ. Bailey, of this place. said
 "I became so weakened 1t was an ef- fort for me to get around. l knew what was the matter, but l felt like 1 couldn't give up.

um tube of today marked a very inn portant step in the progress of the radio art. The Fleming valve. how ever, in it's original form was not much better than other forms of rectifiers then in use and, owing to the greater ruggedness and ease of manipulation of the latter. did not come into gener- al use as detector.
 Dr. Lee DeForest, an American, greatly improved the Fleming valve by adding a third electrode called the grid. which served the function of q control element and thus made It pos sible to utilize the feeble incoming sig nal currents to control more powerful local currents. The ee-electrode vacuum tube of DeForest is the tube used so extensively today.
 The third element which is called a grid and from which the thre.-elec- trode vacuum tube derives its name was placed by DeForest between the filament and the plate in the path of the electrons. The grid is perfor- ated plate or mesh of fine wire through the openings of which the electrons must pass in their journey from the fllament 10 the plate.

 The characteristic curve of a three electrode vacuum tube is shown in Fig VIII. This diagram shows the relation of grid potential to plate current. assuming that the tilament temperature and plate voltage remain constant.
 It can be seen from the curve that by applying negative potential of value F. to the grid. the plate cur rent can be reduced to zero. The neg ative charge on the grid will have the effect of negative potential F. with respect to the tilament. making the negative charge so strong around the flament that the electrons cannot leave it.

All applicants for positions in the

with criminal records unblushingly
had answered NO" to the question,

less to expect this type of men to tell
the truth in regard to such matters.

unable to state today Just when the

to the rest of the nation. 1t is likely
il may be first extended to Chicago and
