COUGH IS YOUR
DANGER SIGNAL

Chronic coughs and persistent
colds lead to serious lung trouble
You can stop them now with Creo-
mulsion, an emulsified creosote
that is pleasant to take. Creomul-
sion is a new medical discovery
with twofoId action; it soothes
and heals the infiamed membranes
and kills the germ.
OF all known drugs, creosote is
recognized by the medical frater-
nifty as the greatest healing agency
for the treatment of h r n c
coughs and colds and other forms
of throat and lung troubles. Creo-
muIsion contains, in addition to
creosote, other healing elements
which soothe and heal the inflamed
membranes and stop the irritation
and Inflammation, while the creo-
sote goes on to the stomach, is abb
sorbed into the blood, attacks the
seat of the trouble and destroys
the germs that lead to consump-
tion.
Creomulsion is guaranteed 50 tisfa ctory
in the treatment of chronic coughs and
colds, bronchial asthma, catarrhal bron-
chitis and other forms of throat and lung
diseases, and is excellent for building up
the system after colds or the nu. Money

tubes at fun efficiency without heating
The maximum amperage of the bet

the manufacturers and Is usually
printed on the boxes. Roughly, a
rheostat for use with three tube

There is no station in Mexico with
the call Kill. CYL probably is the
station you heard. It transmits on a
G10 meter wave and is approximately
1000 miles from Washington. WFBL
is the station in Syracuse, n. Y. The

Rules Governing the Use of variable
COndensers.

inst hecause a variable condenser
is variable and can be adjusted to
various values of capacity, there Is
no reason why this very essential
part of a receiving circuit shoufd
receive so little attention from most
radio fans.
In designing a set, the size of the
variable condenser which Shoulo De
used receives very little consldera-
ton. The average fan disposes OF
this matter merely by saying, L don
know just what size condenser VIII
cover the required wave-length band'
40 guess / will use a .0O1 mfd
condenser, and let 1T go at that. The
capacity of that size condenser Is
large enough to cover the band, so
why worry about close hguring or
determining the exact size by expert
mental methods. ,
This type of reasoning will usually
result in the construction or re
ceiver, which, while it gives good
enough results, does not give the
.monnt of satisfaction which it could
he made to give If little attention
and care were given to just such de-
tails as providing. a condenser OF the
proper capacity range, not TOO hlgh
a minimum capacity and too hlgh
a. maximum capacity ana sun NOT
the other extreme of too low min
iru,n capacity and too low q max
imum capacity.
Determining the Size.
The proper size to use, of course
will be determined to a great extent
bv the size of inductance coils used
and by the type of transformers used
in radio frequency stages. The proper
size can be determined only by proper
calculation, taking all the factors into
considerations or by the rule of thumb
method of trying out different sizes
until a proper balance between IN
ductance and capacity is obtained.
A few facts which will help you
in properly selecting the proper sized
condenser and few pointers on the
effects of not giving due considera-
ton to this question will be OF value.
In the first place, you cannot hope
to get down to the low wave lengths
if YOU use a variable condenser that
has a high minimum capacity If you
use such a condenser with a coil that
has been designed for use with a
condenser of good design, having a
low minimum capacity. Even When
all the rotary plates are out OF mesh
with the stationary plates the ca
pacity of the condenser will not be
zero, but VIII vary itoiii aoout l . .
TO 25 micro -microfarads, or .000013
TO .00o025 MID If you have too much
inductance in your circuit and use
such a. condenser, it will be impos-
sible to get down to the low wave
lengths.
Hints on Condenser.
II YOU find that you can reach up
into the high wave lengths without
using close to the maximum capacity
of the condensers the best thing to
do is to use a condenser of a lower
maximum capacity. This is better
practice than taking turns off the
coil, because by taking turns or the
coil you will merely change the bad
effect to the other end of the con-
denser unless 1T has been difficult

mandolinist? The wave was about
240 meters and the call either CFKC

CFCA probably is the station you

THE LEGISLATIVE FLOOD

Reviewing the work of legislatures
n different states there is a rt.. ct
light-in a few the high water mark
of new laws has been reached and
flood is receding.
The Illinois legislature that ad-
journed the other day enacted Only
3O2 new laws and 38 Of these were
appropriation and enabling acts.
In spite of having hundreds of stat
utes that are absolutely dead letters
on the law books, Illinois added 280
more rules of conduct.
But the tide has turned and the
Illinois legislature enacted Sc less
bills than were ground out in the leg
islature grist two years before.
Several oher states have made a
similar record and it must be a sat
isfactory feeling to know that as time
goes on, not only fewer new laws
may be enacted, but more and more
old ones may be repealed.

LITTLE OLD WHEAT LEFT

Reports from sos of the 610 Ii
censed warehouses in this state made
to the department. of Agriculture,
show that the state went into the new
crop year with only 1858 ,439 tons
of wheat held in the interior ware
houses. Many of the warehouses not
reporting had handled no wheat and
only small lots were stored in the
others. The amount of wheat on hand
at present is about one fourth the
,otal held last year and even that
vas below the normal supply in July.
A great deal of the wheat on hand
.eill be held over for fall seeding. Re
ports to the department indicate that
all summer fallowed wheat land will
be seeded this year either by the own
ers or by some renter. Arrangements
already have been made for handling
most of the available grain lands.

window display of linoleum.
The window was described in these
columns a few weeks ago and was
entitled ''The Nairn Sisters, featur-

ed by Miss Ursula Mattecheck The
contest was a national one and entries
were received from all over the coun-

coach and the next ten prize winners
were awarded 5000 each. The coach
was won by Mr.. Miller of Louis
vile, Kentucky.

have not yet been selected. The three
grand prizes Sin the latter contest
are Packard automobiles and Matty
says: "Well, still have chance for
the Packard and wouldn't have had

As Miss Ursula designed the dis
play the check has been turned over
to her and she plans to spend it for
schooling.

CALL FOR CANNED TOHATOEs

The Woman's club has received a
request. from the Orthopedic hospital
at Seattle for canned tomatoes.
Among the hundreds of unfortun-
ate children in the hospital there are
many who require tomato juice as
part of their daily diet, not even
orange juice being satisfactory sub
stitute.
This hospital is maintained entire
ly by contributions from various or
ganizations and individuals who are
interested in the great work it is
doing. Several Kennewick children
have received treatment in the hos
pital.
It is believed that this community
would be glad to help the Woman's
club and they are asking that every
one who is canning tomatoes to set
aside quart or two for these child
rem. Later notification will be given
as to the collecting and packing of
the jars.
