great extent the future action of the gov

dorsement of Mr, Magulre. It Is said
that Johnson arid Whiting have the bulk
Of tho endorsements 'of tho party ma
chinery and for that reason pne of tho

On the other hand "Mr. Drown has all
his life been a consistent party worker,
sacrificing time, money and everything
1sb tho .party might need to help it win
Ita battles. Ho has fought for Mr. Uryan
early and late and now that he Is passing

Mix one pint of granulated sugar with
piint of warm water, and stir for 2
minutes. Tut 2 ounces of Plncx (flftv
cents' worth) in a pint bottle; then add
the Sugar Syrup. Tako a teaapoonful
every one, two or tlirco hours.
This simple, remedy, takes hold of a
cough more quicklv than' anything else
you ever used. Usually conquers an
ordinary cough insida of 2i hours.
Splendid, too, for whooping- ooUglii

stimulates the appetite and is slightly,
laxative, which helps end a oougb.
This makes more and better cough
syrup than you could buy ready made
for $2.80. It kecpa perfectly and taste
pleasant.
Pinex is a moat valuable conco.
ttatcd compound of Norway white pine
extract, and is rich in guaiacol and
other natural pino elements which are
so healing to the membranes. Other
preparations will not work in this plan.
Making cough syrup with Plncx and
sugar syrup (or strained honey) has
groven so popular throughout the United

imitated. But the old, successful mix

A guaranty of absolute satisfaction,

TELEPHONE ACHIEVEMENTS
TELEPHONE SERVICE OF TODAY THE CREATION OF THE BELL CO.
r
In no lino of human endeavor lias tho inventive
brain of tho scientist contributed more to tiie Vorld's
progress than by tho creation of tho art of telephony,
of which the Bell System In tho embodiment.
When the telephone avrh lorn, nothing analogous
(n telcphnno service as wo now know it existed.
There was no tradition to guide, no experience to
follow. .
Tiie system, tho apparatus, tho methods an . en
tire new art had to bo created. The art of electrical
engineering did not exist. The Bell pioneers, recog
nizing tbet success depended upon tho highest engi
neering and technical skill at once organized an ex
perimental and research department, which is now
directed by a staff of over 550 engineers and scientists,
including former professors, post-graduate students,
scientific investigators tho graduates of over 70 uni
versities From its foundatlou tho company lias continu
ously developed the art. New improvements in tele
phones, switchboards, lines, cables, havo followed ono
another with remarkable rapidity.
While each successive typo of apparatus to tho
superficial observer suggested similarity, each step in
the - evolution marked a decided improvement. These
changes, this evolution, havo not only been continu
ous, but are continuing. Substantially nil of the plant
now in use, including telephones, switchboards, cables
and wires, has been constructed, renewed or recon
structed in the past 10 years.
Particularly in switchboards have tho changes
been so radical that installations costing in the aggre
gate mlllipns havo frequently been discarded after only
a few years of use.
Since 1877 thero have been introduced 53 types
and styles of receivers and 73 types and styles of trans
mtttcrs. Of tho 13,000,000 telephone receivers and
transmitters owned by tho Bell Company January 1,
1014, nono were in use prior to 1002, while tho average
ago In less than five years.
Within 10 years wo have expended for construe
tion and reconstruction an amount moro than equal to
tho present book value of our entiro plant. , .
Long-distance and underground transmission was
the ; most formidable scientific problem confronting
tho telephone experts,
j" " "The retarding effect of the earth on the telephone
' currcat ofteri" Impaired conversation through one mile
underground as much as through 100 miles overhead. -'
Overhead conversation had its distinct limitations.
No possible improvement in the telephone trans
mitter could of itself solve these difficulties.
The solution was only found in tho cumulative
effect of improvements, great and small, in telephone,
transmitter, lino,, cable, switchboard, and every other
piece of apparatus or plant required in the transmis
sion of speech.
While tho limit of commercial overhead talking
had Increased from strictly local to over. 1,000 mile
as early as 1803, it was not until 1005 thnt conversa
tion could be had over long-distance circuits of which
as much as 20 miles was in underground cables. By
1000 underground talking distance had increased to
00 miles. By 1012 it was possible to talk underground
from New York to Washington.
It was then that tho construction of tho underground
conduits from Boston to Washington was determined
upon not that It was expected to get a through under
ground talk between those places, but In case of storm
or bllxzard, to ntilizo intermediate sections in connection
with the overhead. -
Our persistent study and incessant experlmenta
tatlon liavo produced results moro remarkable still.
We have perfected cables, apparatus and methods
that havo overcome obstacles heretofore regarded as in
superable both to long-djstance overhead and under
ground conversation.
Underground conversation is now possiblo between
Boston and Washington, four times the length of the
longest European underground lino. This enabled the
Bell System In tho recent great storm, so destructive on
land and sea, to maintain communication for the public
between all tho principal points on tho Atlantic seaboard.
Telephone communication is established between
Xow York and Denver, is potentially possiblo between
all points In the United States, and by 1015 will be an
accomplished fact between New York and San Francisco.
In our use of methods or apparatus, we aro com
mitted to no ono system. Wo own, control or havo the
right to use inventions necessary to operate any system
recognized or accepted as the most efficient. The Bell .
System must always recognize, and in its selection must
always bo governed by tho necessities of a national ser
vice, with its complex requirements, which is lnfintcly
moro exacting than local or limited service.
These achievements represent vast expenditures of
money and immense concentration of effort, which havo
been Justified by results of immeasurable benefit to tho
public. No local company unaided could bear the finan
cial or scientific burden of this work. Such results aro
possiblo only through a centralized general staff, avoid
ing wasteful duplication of effort, working out problems
common to all, for tho benefit of all:
The pioneers of the Bell System- recognized that
telephone service as they saw it, was. in tho broadest
sense a public utility; that upon, them rested a pUblio
obligation to give, tho best possible service at the most'1'"' ..-l;ir
reasonaDie rates consistent wiui msk, investment ana
tho continued improvement and maintenance of . tho
property.
Without this expenditure of millions .and concen
tration of effort, tho telephone art as it exists could
not have been developed.
What wo have done in working out these great
problems in ho past should be accepted as a guar
antee of what wo 'will do in tho future. '
