Making Your Radio Receiving Set DAILY RADIO FEATURES

By R. L. DUNCAN, Director, Radio Institute of America. Here Is a plain crystal detector receiving set that will receive telephonic messages approximately 50 miles during the day and code messages considerably farther. At night the receiving radius Is about three times greater, due to a change in atmospheric conditions. All the parts of this set—with the exception of the head phones—can be made by any handy amateur. The head phones will have to be bought. Do not use single phones or phones t low resistence. Ordinary telephone receivers are useless for radio reception. The resistance of the radio phones should be from 2,000 to 3,000 ohms. In this diagram the loose coupler, which tunes in the message, is repre-r—[-TC-AER'AL TO y G*. 3CCONDARY jj PRIMARY X4-P r looi ceiywt-en I TUNErt ~ OROONP sented by the primary and secondary windings. A detailed explanation of these colls will be given In this column tomorrow. First there Is a variable condenser in shunt with the secondary of the loose coupler. The capacity of the condenser used here should be about .0005 microfarads. The crystal detector should be of galena preferably. When buying this, get several pieces so that at least two will be found with the proper sensitiveness. The detector Is the soul of the receiving set. There should be a fixed condenser of .003 microfarads capacity. This should be shunted across the phones. How to rig up each of these parts will be explained in following articles.

RECIPE 70 CLEAR A PIMPLY SKIN Pimples Are Impurities Seeking an Outlet Through Skin Pores. Pimples, sores nnrt boils usually result from toxins, poisons and impurities which | are generated in the bowels and then absorbed into the blood through the very duets which should absorb only nourishment to sustain the body. It is the function of the kidneys to fUjer impurities from the blood and cast them out in the form of urine, but in many instances the bowels create more toxins and impurities than the kidneys can eliminate, then the blood uses the skin pores as the next best means of getting rid of these impurities which often break out all over the skin lu the form of pimples. The surest way to clear the skin of these eruption", says a noted authority, is to get from any pharmacy about four ounces of .Tad Salts and take a tablespoonful in a glass of hot water each morning before breakfast for one week. This will prevent the formation of toxins in the bowels. It also stimulates the kidneys to normal activity, thus coaxing them to filter the blood of impurities and clearing the skin of pimples. Jad Salts Is Inexpensive, harmless and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon Juice, combined with lithia. Here you have a pleasant, effervescent drink which usually makes pimples disappear; cleanses the blood and Is excellent for the kidneys as well. —Advertisement.

CURED BY A NATIVE HERB On board a vessel bound for India recently a man was bitten by a poisonous reptile; both the ship doctor and a famous surgeon failed to control the poison fast spreading through his system. In a day the vessel reached port. An Indian medicine man was sent for, who produced a native herb which quickly allayed the poison and the man's life was saved. Roots and herbs are nature's assistants in combating disease. That well-known medicine for ailments peculiar to women, Lydia E. I'lnkharu's Vegetable Compound', is prepared from roots and herbs, possessing medicinal properties of great value in the treatment of such ailments. This is proved by the letters of recommendation we are continually publishing in jhls paper for it.
