A remarkable new prescription by a Cleveland specialist is guaranteed to banish every single symptom within 24 hours! This new treatment, per- fected by the physicians of the Clinical Laboratories, Cleveland, Ohio, is known as Dr. Platt’s Rinex Prescrip- tion, and works on an en- tirely new principle. Science now proves that Hay Fever is due, not to mere surface jrritation, but to an acfual infection of the entire system caused by the absorption of raw protein from pollens float- New Prescription ing in the air.

Radio Reception Records. 1t you have been getting excep- tionally good results with your set and think that you are the only one who has been able to get such good results, just take a look at what others have done along that line. The remarkable thing about these reports is that reception In practi- cally every case was accomplished with standard recelvers of four tubes or less. » The long-distance record fs prob- ably held by station WGR of Buffalo, which has been heard practically half-way around the world. On March 30, 1924, at 8:45 p.m., Aust llan_time, station WGR was heard by W. J. Bland of Alberton, South Australia, and Clement E. Ames, sec- retary of the Eighth Australlan Di- vision of the Wireless Institute. WGY of Schenectady, N. Y. has also been heard thougands of miles away. Not g0 long ago a radio fan in Cape Town, Africa, a distance of 7,880 miles, reported that he had listened to WGY for over half an hour and backed up his statement by giving the time and the program which he had heard.

Davis, who heard the program, used merely a small g4t consisting of four tubes, | one stage of radio frequency ampli- fication, a detector and two stages of audio frequency amplification, with an aerial 150 feet long. While the static conditions were bad, he had no trouble In recognizing the numbers which were played Another long-distance report was received by station WEAF of New York City, when American Vice- consul Quiney F. Roberts at Apia, Samoa, reported uninterrupted recep- tion of WEA program for a period of over half an hour. The distance from New York to Apla is 7,200 miles.

Letters of that kind are very welcome in the studios of these stations and furnish the per- sonnel with the encouragement re- quired to keep thel: enthusiasm alive. 1 personally, cherish many letters which I have received from those fans who read my articles and con- struct the sets which I have de- scribed and who write in telling of the results which they are getting with them. 1 have recelved many letters from readers who have constructed the one- tnbe set which I described some time ago, reporting recognition over dis- tance up to 3,000 miles on one tube and also reporting the use of a loud speaker with strength enough to be heard several feet way on stations up to 900 miles away. Several readers have added one and two stages of audio amplification to the one-tube sct and have listencd to stations up to 3,000 miles away on loud speakers. It 18 difficult to say what a set will do under different conditions, but you can safely say that the man who pooh-poohs such seemingly impos- sible reception records does not know what he is talking about.

The Chicago Tribune statjon, WGN, Tormerly WDAP, has in- stalled a microphone suspended above the pit. For one full min- ute, as a colorful preface to hali-hourly quotations, WGN the pit on’the air. Like the prolozuc in the theater, on comes the hubtub of the trad- ing—the calls, tho crics, the slg- naling, the babel of barter in the pit. Then the WGN announcer, in the studio on the Drake Hotel, gives call letters and announccs the opening of the market. Imme- diately the listener is switched to the soundproof announcing booth in the Board of Trade, from which the quotations are read.

No applications for broadcasting licenses have come to the Department of Commerce in the last three weeks. This Is the first time in the Listory of the now popular game that this has occurred. Some fans want to know what it means, fearful lest broadcasting dies out. . Practically every one is of the opinion that broadcasting is here to stay, and that while, if the stations now on the air drop out, the best ones will remain. The fact that no new concerns or institutions seek licences to broadcast, is held as itself |the answer that there are enough now—3544 stations are still in opera- |tion and 54 of them are the high- |powered Class B stations. About a year ago there were 591, and cer- tainly the situation is better today than’ ever. The big radio interests, manufac | turers, and many retailers and edu- cational institutions will never stop: | the good will and advertising are too valuable. Churches, theaters and some business organizations find it profitable In one way or another and will continue to function. Some private and smaller stations may close down. Tse oniy thing to be regretted in tde present situation is the distribu- tion of stations. Some communities like New York have a dozen station | while another center has a single on or none at all. However, the more powerful stations are solving s difficulty and It is doubtful if there are many spots in the United States where some stations cannot be picked up on a fairly good set. Government officials, broadcasters and those interested in radio broad- | casting development feel confident | that the coming vear, like those al- ready passed, will be better than the preceding year. “Certainly,” thev say, “last year, even during the sum- mer, was the best yet, next vear will be better” So why worry if never get another v stati ‘Think More About Bread that Lightens Household Tasks BOUNDLESS vigor that makes easy the daily round of your work in the home— Tireless strength that comes from a healthy, well- nourished system !
