More than forty Illinois cities and towns will be benefitted by the im provement, which will be the biggest of its kind ever made by the Chicago Telephone company. Ten thousand miles of -wlfOB will be added to the long distance wire mile age in northern Illinois. More than sixty miles of toll cable, containing 9,000 miles of telephone wire, will be. run from Chicago to McHenry, • From Chicago to Great Lakes, the naval training station four mijes south of ! Waukegan, this cable will be placed in the present wire subway along the North Shore. Connecting with the underground cable at Great Lakes, an aerial cable will be built westward to McHenry, a distance' of twenty-two miles. In addition to the new toll cable, the Chicago Telephone company will spend approximately $7,50(1 to increase tele phone facilities in McHenry. The Mc Henry exchange will be removed to new quarters on Green street near Elm. Switchboard equipment will be enlarged by the addition of three oper ators' positions with capacity to-jWrve 500 more subscribers. Telephone wires in all parte of the city will be increased by 100 miles of new wire, most of which will be in cable. Several miles of open wire will be replaced by cable. When local im provements are completed telephone facilities will be adequate to care for telephone growth in McHenry well in to the future. The cable from Great Lakes to Mc Henry will be the longest aerial cable for long distance telephoning^ in the middle west. It will replace the pres ent pole- line, which is heavily loaded with open wires. One of the greatest advantages of the new cable is that it will be prac tically storm-proof. Poles supporting large numbers of Wires are severely taxed when the wires become weight ed down with ice and sleet. A single long distance cable takes the place of fifty or more pairs of open wires. The poles upon which the Great Lakes to McHenry cable will be placed will be stripped of cross arms and used for this one cable exclusively. For a distancfe of fourteen miles new poles wilf be set and those showing signs of decay will be replaced. The enormous expense attached to the building of the cable from Chicago to McHenry is due to the large amount of special equipment necessary to make it efficient for long distance talking. The wires in the cable will be six times the size of wires in cable used for local telephone communication. Wires in cable will not carry the voice over long distances unless each pair of wires in the cable is equipped with a device known as a "loading coii," an invention of recent years. Because of the large number of wires or electrical paths in a cable, the elec tric current which carries the sound of the voice performs queer antics, and as a result the voice cannot be dis tinctly heard over long distances unless a "loading coil" is used. Loading coils, placed at regular intervals along each pair of wires, reinforce the sound waves carrying the voice and strength en the electric current so that it does not lose its power to reproduce the voice perfectly at the other end of the line. . „ < The effect of the "loading coil" qp sound waves in telephone' wires is shown by a simple and familiar illus tration. If a person should grasp the loose end of a small rope fastened to a post 100 feet distant and shake the rope it would respond with a wave-like mo tion and the wave would travel from the hand to the post. But these wave motions would grow smaller or weaker and al most disappear before reaching the post. However, if tw*o or three small weights were tied to the rope at equal intervals these weights would, in turn, reinforce the wave motion so that when the wave reached the post it would be only a little smaller and weaker than it was when it Started from the other end. The "loading coil" reinforces the electrical voice waves of the telephone circuit as the weights reinforce the wave motion of the rope. More than seventy-five tons of "load ing coils" will be necessary to make the cable from Chicago to McHenry efficient for long distance talking. At exact intervals of one and six-tenths miles an average of two tons of coils- one coil for every pair of wire*--will be connected With the cable.

The man who is addicted to stroajr'driak. or who is a victim of the drug habit, is to be pitied and helped--not abnSed--said Dr. Leslie E. Keeley, founder of the Keeley Institute at Dwight, 111. Tbe records of 400,000 men who nave been cured of the liquor habit and the use of drugs by the Keeley treatment prove that these habits are diseases that can be cured permanently by this treatment. Most of these men were persuaded to take the Keeley treatment by wise friends or relatives who know that these addictions are curable diseases. Letters from the men cured show how they won health, honor and prosperity after takme tbe treatment. Tbe following letter is typical of thousands; Woodland, 111., Mar. 23, 191S. Banner of Gold * It is thirteen years since I made my visit to the little city of Dwight, and I feel that it is my duty to write you again and inform you now I am getting along and holding out on the wet and dry proposition. I can re peat what I think I hate said before, that when I arrived at Dwight I was one of the worst Wrecks that ever struck that town. I have often thought about it and I consider that I am a very fortunate man to be liv ing today. And I praise the institu tion and the good people of the Keeley Institute ,at Dwight for my escape. I do recommend and beg any unfor tunate who is in the power of strong urink to so at cr.ce and be cured, and not jeopardize their lives by putting It off as I did. Anyone wishing to write me per* •onally on this matter can do so, and I will be glad to answer any questions, ahd I hope I may be able to convince them that the only thing for them to do is to go at once and once more become free men. I am growing a little older--am In my sixty-third year, but my health Is good and I am happy; and I am as far from the drink habit as the east Is from the west, and I thank God and the Keeley people for my deliverance. Hoping that this may reach some one who is not deaf to the good cause, and wishing you all success In the good work, I remain. Respectfully yours, 01) .
