POSSIBILITIES OF It NEW INVENTION
Pr?ieai- lay latter onrrlara would
bacomo Tel> RTuph Meiuagtri
and uxtry Tiling* hirt a daily
o?vtpap?r.
Since the (allure of tbo telegraphers'
strike aad the return of the moo to
work at the poorest wage* that men of
trained haqd and brain are called upon
to labor in the world, we do not hear
?o much about that wonderful machine
which it was said was designed to put
them a'l out of business. The teleg
raphers themselves resented the circu
lation of the story of the o<achine as an
invention rather of the space writor,
paid fur by Western Union, merely to
intimidate the men oo strike.
However, there is no reason to doubt
the invention from any supposition of
impossibility. The Improvement of
the present machine is la no wise as
wonderful as the original invention,
nor half n? notable as the application of
the w.rele>s Nor ueed ihe operator
fear ueing displaced. Inventions
merely widen the Geld. Readjustment
following the introduction of a labor
??avinjr machine may cause slight
temporary embarras?nent to the whole
class of telegraphers but the slackened
line> in the labor field are soon drau-n
taut by the extended use and applica
tion, ust ns happened in the printing
trade with the invention of the lino
type.
With the new system of sending
messages put to its fullest application
according to descriptions making the
rounds of the press. Alaska, for
instance, might enjoys full telegraph
service where now It U compelled to '
b4 content with m^re builotlus. 'Ispeol
ally would this be so if ihe machines
Ware adapted to the wireless, ad it no
doubt will be shoitly after it i>osk
through its preliminary at?ge w'i;h th j
wire.
Th? instrument re^emb'ts an oral
nary typewriter and automatically
transcribes the menage in perforations
on a strip or tape of prepared paper.
One end of thli is stsrt?d io -the tran
mlttlng apparatus and Is run throug
it at a rate of from 1,000 5,000 wor, a
minute. At tht other end of tho 11m
it is recorded automatically by sultabl'
machines of great simplicity and o
curacy, and as rapidly as transmitted, i
This practically eliminates the liability
to error. By the means described, on.
wire is capible of transmitting as in my
messages as 50 or more operators c n
prepare.
With such a machine in operation it
would bs the mail? the Jslow form f
sending letters? that would go nut of
business and be supplanted ar d
e?ery ctoss road might hav it > "\
far as the expense of a te'.iirrapb ? ;r
ice is concerned.

CHILD ALW
A SOLID SORE
From Skin Disease from Birth Until
Six' Years Old ? Father Spent
Fortune on Her Without Benefit
?Old Doctor Suggested Cuti
cura, which Cured Her in Two
Months, Leaving
SKIN SOFT AS A BABY'S
AND WITHOUT A SCAR
" I have a cousin in Rockingham Co.
who once bad a skin disease from her
birth until sho was six years of age.
Her father had spent a fortune on her
to get her cured and none of the treat
ments did heranygood. Old Dr. G ? ?
suggested that he try the Cuticura Rem
edies which he did. When ho com
menced to use it the child was almost in a
solid scab. He liad used it about two
months and the child was well. I was
there when they commenced to use your
Cuticura Remedies. I stayed that week
and then returned home and stayed two
weeks and then went back and staved
with them two weeks longer and when
I went home I could hardly believe sho
was the same child. Her skin was as
soft as a baby's without a scar on it. I
have not seen her in seventeen years but
I have heard from her and the last time
I heard from her she was well. That is
where I became acquainted with Cuti
cura. I hope this may be of some ser
vice to you in tlie future. Mrs. W. P.
Ingle, Burlington, N. C., June 16, 1905."

Many Alaska people take their lives
in their hands by nrplecting the kid

P. Laramy, 121 North Terry Ave.
Seattle, Wash., sa*s: "It is now three
years since I gave a testimonial reco
mmending Doan's Kidney Pills after
the prompt and satisfactory manner in
which this remedy bad telievedmeof
kidney trouble which had affected me
off and on for a number of years. Just,
prior to using Doan's Kidney Pill, my
suffering had become more severe, and
one day, f was taken suddenly with
attacks of sharp pains through ray 'o!ns
and bladder. I -ent for a doctor who
flnallv used a catheter. This *ave me
relief at the t<mr ' ut. si* ill I had trouble
afterwards with irritation of the b adder
and ?i'h tbe di-o'dcred action of my
Kidneys. I began using Doan'a Kidney
Pills, and they acted vtry promptly and
directly on the par's affected, so that
the bladdej trouble disappeared and in
other ways I found great relief. This
was several vcars ago but still I am a
hearty advocate of Doan's Kidnry Pills
and recommend them to all suffering
from kidney trouble.
