truction only requires a short space
of time.
The last few months nave been difs
ficelt for the missionary, but not so
trying for us as it has been for the
Chinese Christians. A couple of days
ago I was walking on the street with
my Bible Woman, when t overheard.
. part of a, remark, calling the foreigner
;some name, I said to her, did you
hear what he called me? "Oh," • she
said, "It was probably' me he was re-
ferring to as a foreign slave." It
made no difference to ,her, that was
mild to some of the things she has
had said to her, It is inost encourag-
ing to see so many who are ready to
stand the buffeting, "for Christ's
sake." It surely is wonderful how
near the Divine Helper seems; to
keep ones het in quietness, even
when all around seems confusion, hilt
what joy it brings to the heart when
one of your -Chinese friends will say
with a smile on her fa'te "Isn't it won-
derful how the true God canakeep pea-
ce inayour heart, even when people
are persecuting you, and saying all
manner of evil against you." This
young teacher had been in a boat
wreck this summer, was in the city of
Kiating during •the fierce fighting
there, when they could hardly
find enough to eat to stay the pangs
of hunger, but there her faith was put
to the test, and she said "God is suf-
ficient for these things." •
The Chinese chvch certainly needs
our sympathy and prayers in their ef-
. forts to have a self supporting chur-
ch. Of course there are a great

to have the foreigner support the
work of the church, but the best 011, -

from the work in .Lifan among the tri-

many, but in so many places chapels
had been destroyed or partially so,
and needed many repairs, also money
has been demanded of the people for
use of the army, until they, have been
fairly bled to death, so they have
been goiag behind financially until

and unbound feet were unheard of.
When they left there a few Weeks.
ago, there was a Splendid school with
thirty eight girls on the roll and
about thirty of these have now tin -
bound feet. Mr. Mao, the evangelist
writes that he hears continual regrets
that their teachers have glue, and se-
veral of these girls have asked for

and we trust it will not be long before
the schools will be able to .openligain.

lasts longer and gives better results
than either of the foregoing batteries.
As shown in the diagram, the Elitn-
inator consists of 3 general units; the
transformer, the rectifier and. the fil-
ter. The purpose of the transformer
is to insulate the B battery circtlit
from the house lighting system, and
to provide such a voltage that after
the rectifier and filter have, done their
work, the direct current output will.

The ptirpose of the rectifier is to

While the writed will not say that
the "hum" from the alternaing curr-
ent is completely cut out by the B
Eliminator, he has no hesitancy in
saying that the hum is entirely negli-
gible. While using the Eliminator on
a five tube set, stations 2,000 miles
away are regularly received without
the slightest annoyance from the hum,
and this constitutes a fairly severe
test, 44
Has Many Advantages
• The cost of building the Eliminator
will probably vary from 20 to 3o doll-
ars if the constructor buys his parts
ready made, and will be much less if
he makes his own transformers and
chokes.' While this cost may seem
pretty high, at first, it must be re-
membered that the Eliminator does
away with the constant yeplacing of
the dry cell B batteries—(which is
quite frequent on the multi -tube sets)
—and that it is not more expensive
than real good storage B batteries,

ter patience greater huinility, and an
unbounded measure of tact, but who

tube is stiggested here.
The Durpoee of the filter sysaern is'
to reduce the pulsating output of the
rectifier tube to a smooth flowing di-
rect current which will not make a
noise in the receiver. The diagram
shows two separate chokes in the fil-
ter system, but in. some cases a sin-
gle large choke may be found suffi-
cient.
If suitable transformers, choke coils
or high capacity filttr condensers can
not be obtained from your local deal-
ers, write me. In a letter addressed
to' me, in care of this newspaper, tell
me your requirements,. specifications
and prices you're willing, to pay. I
will be only too gladto give you the
names of firms that can fulfill your
orders.
Also. if I get enough requests for it,
I will devote an article to construct-
ion of the transforiner and chokes ne-
cessary for the B battery Eliminator.
Radio Questions and Answers
(Mr. Sherrill will be glad to help
you solve your radio problems. Write
him in care of this paper.)
• Q.—E. M. I. says: "I have been us-
ing a Tungar battery charger for over
a year, but lately, it sometimes refus-
es to start b charging. The Tungar
bulb still lights up all right. Please
let me know what 1 can do to make
my charger work."
Ans.:—Perhaps the filament in le
tube has sagged so much that it is
tob far from the plate. Sometimes
the failure to start charging is due te
a poor contacton the wire from the
top of the tube, or to poor contact
where the connections are made on
the battery.

BETTER HEALTH
CHILLS
' By Dr. W. J. Scholes
A chill is often the first sympton
of a disease, It is a common experi-
ence to have a chill at the beginning
of la cold. Sometimes this sympton
indicates the beginning of 'some more
serious disease, such as influenza or
pneumonia. Doctors generally re -
gard the occurrence of a chill as an
indication that infection is present
somewhere in the body.
Chills not onlyaoccur at the beginn-
ing of disease, but sometimes occur
while the disease is running its cour-
se. When, one is infected: with ma-
laria, they occur with the onset of ea-
ch. paroxysm. When they occur dur-
ing the course of most other diseases,
they usually mead that some compli-
cation is developing. For instance, a
chill during the course of, a common
Old may Mean the onset of pneumon-
ia, or inflammation of the middle ear,
or some other complication. Then
there is always the chance that the
occurrence of a chill may mean that
pus is forming somewhere in the bo-
dy.
The thermometer will often show
that the temperature of the body has
begun to rise even during the chill.
Inflammation has already commenced
to develop because germs have infect-
ed some tissue.
Take No Chances!
It is not always apparent just what
disease one is developing at the time
the chill occurs. So it is best to take
no chances. One should go home as
soon as possible and take a hot bath.
Then the body should be quickly and
thoroughly dried with a coarse towel,
and no time lost in getting into bed.
Drinking hot water or hot lemonade
may help to relieve the chill and fav-
or sweating.
If it is not obvious that the chill
was ea -used by some very trivial ail-
ment, or one sloes not soon feel bet-
ter, it is best to call the doctor and:,and side of the
