Simple and Convenient Manner Of
Mounting Honeycomb Coils.

pivots and for clamping the angles to
the panel. To each coil affiX the small
brass strips cut to the shape indicated,
driving the pointed tips into the coil
for securely. The strips are spaced
the same distance as the clasps on
the panel to permit contact. (The
wire leads are soldered to their re-
spective brass strip)
A stationary coil mounting may be
designed in the same manner so that.
if it is ever desired, it too may be
varied. Be certain that the clasps
have sufficient spring to securely
hold and make good electric contact
with the coil terminal strips. 1t is
not necessary to have the cells run
ming a certain direction as they can
be inserted in the holder in either
direction, an important feature. -

SWAMP-ROOT

For many years druggists have watched
with much interest the remarkable record
maintained by DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root,

Swamp-Root is a strengthening medi-
cine. It helps the kidneys, liver and blad-
der do the work nature intended they
should do.
Swamp Root has stood the test of years.
1t is sold by all druggists on its merit and
it should help you. No other kidney medi-
cine has 80 many friends.
Be sure to get Swamp-Root and start
treatment at once.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..

I was spending the weekend with

the hounds lifted their faces to heaven,
even as I, and joined me in most
hideous cry.

Good Mounting for
the Spider-Web Coils

Spider-web coils are very easily cen
structed and because of their efficiency
they have found favor for amateur re-

or less retarded their general adop-
ton.
First obtain some fairly thin sheet
brass, cutting it to size and shape as
required. For a movable or coupling
