Or do you get hoarse once in a while, whenever you get the slightest cold? Hoerseness means & catarrhal condition of the vocal cords. The vocal cords are way down in the tarynx and when affected By hoarseness should cause serfous concern. Peruna has been found to be an excellent remedy for such cases. ‘We have recefved testimonials from responsible people who have been relieved of hoarseness by Peruna.

Co., Phila. or St Louis TELEPHONE ACHIEVEME TELEPHONE SERVICE OF TO-DAY THE CREATION OF THE BELL CO. In no line of human endeavor has the in- ventive brain of the scientist contributed more to the world's progress than by the creation of the art of telephony, of which the Bell sys- tem is the embodiment, When the telephone was born, nothing an- alogous to telephone service as we now know it existed. There was no tradition to guide, no experience to follow. The system, the apparatus, the methods—an entire new art had to be created. The art of electrigal engineering did not exist. Tho Bell pioncers, recognizing that sucoess depended upon the highest engineering and technical skill at once organized an experimental and research department which is now directed by a staff of over 550 engincers and scientists, including former professors, post-graduate students, scientific investigators—the graduates of over 70 universities, From its foundation the company has con- tinuously developed the art. New improvements in telophones, switchboards, lines, cables, have followed one another with remarkable rapidity. While each successive typs of apparatu the superficlal observer suggested similarity, each step in tho evolution marked a decided improvement. These changes, this evolution, has not only been continuous, but is continu- ing. Substantially all of the plant now in use, including telephones, switchboards, cables and ires, has been constructed, renewed or re- constructed in the past 10 years. Particularly in switchboards have the changes been so radical that installations cost- ing in the aggregate millions have frequently been discarded after only a few years of use. Since 1877 there have been introduced 53 types and styles of receivers and 73 types and styles of transmitters. OFf the 12,000,000 tele- phone receivers and transmitters owned by the Bell Company January 1, 1914, none were in use prior to 1902, while the average age is less than five years. Within 10° years we have expended for con- struction and reconstruction an amount” more than equal to the present book value of our entire plant. Long-distance and underground transmission wae the most formidable scientific problem con- fronting the telephone experts. The retarding effect of the earth on the tele- phone current often impaired conversation through one mile underground as much as through 100 miles overhead. Overhead conver- sation had its distinct limitations. No possible improvement in the telephone transmitter could of itseif solve these difficul- ties. The solution was only found in the cumula- tive effect of improvements, great and small, in telephone, transmitter, line, cable, switch- board, and every other piece of apparatus or plant required in the tranemission of speech While the limit of commescial overhead talk- ing had inereased from strictly local to over 1,000 miles as early as 1893, it was not until 1905 that conversation could be had over long- distance circuits of which as mush as 20 miles was in underground cables. By 1908 under- ground talking distarice had increased to S0 miles. By 1912 it was possible to talk under- ground from New York to Washington. It was then that the construction of under- ground conduits from Boston to Washington was determined upom—not that it was ex- peoted to get a through underground talk be- tween those places, but in case of storm or blizzard, to utilize intermediate sections in con- nection with the overhead. Our persistent study and incessant experi- mentation have produced results mors remark- abie still. We have perfected cables, apparatus and methods that have overcome obstacles hersto- fore regarded as insuperable both to long-dis- tance overhead and underground conversation. Underground conversation is now possible between Boston and Washington, four times the length of the longest European under- ground line. This enabled the Bell System in the recent great storm, so destructive on land and sea, to maintain communication for the public_between all the principal points on the Atlantic seaboard. Telephone communication is established be- tween New York and Denver, is potentially possible between all points in the United States, and by 1915 will be an accomplished fact be- tween New York and San Francisco, In our use of methods or apparatus, we are committed to no one system. We own, con- trol or have the right to use inventions neces sary to operate any system recognized or ac- cepted as the most efficient. The Bell System must always recognize, and in its selection must always be governed by the necessities of a national service, with its complex require- ments, which is infinitely more exacting than local or limited service. These achievements represent vast expendi- tures of money and immense concentration of effort which have been justified by results of immeasurable benefit to the publio. No local company unaided could bear the financial or scientific burden of this work. Such results are possibis only through a centralized general staff, avoiding wasteful duplication of effort, working out problems common to all for the benefit of all, The pioneers of the Bell System recognized that telephone service as they saw it, was in the broadest sense a public utility; that upon them rested a public obligation to give the best possible service at the most reasonabie rates consistent with risk, investment and the continued improvement and maintenance of its property. Without this expenditure of millions and concentration of effart, the telephons art as it exists eould not have bsen developed. What we have done In working out these great problems in the past should be accepted as a guarantee of what we will do in the future. THEO. N, VAIL, President. whitcione Ge a2 e 3. s Hant RIC.
