Tho NeD Gable Code.

At the international telegraph confer
snce which was held at Budapest in
July it was decided to issue a new off,
cial vocabulary Of preconcerted Ian
guage. This was opposed by American
firms who operate private codes, as the
value of these codes would be destroyed.
The conference adopted an amendment
to its constitution in order to provide
for these codes, and it has just, been is
sued from headquarters at Bern, Swift
yerland. Preconcerted language is defin-
Cd as composed of words having intrinsic
sense, but not combined into intelligible
phrases. Words in this language cannot
contain over ten characters according to
the Morse alphabet. They must be- taken
from one or more of these Languages:
German, English, Spanish, French,
Dutch, Italian, Portuguese and Latin.
Proper names cannot be used except
with their meaning in plain language
The original sending, Office can demand
the production of the sender's code to
nee that the rules have been observed
From date to be fixed by future
conference all the words used in private
kilograms written in preconcerted Ian
guage will be extracted from the official
vocabulary duly enlarged and compiled
by the international bureau Of tele-
graph administrations.
The new vocabulary will include all
words of private codes, provided they
aretrue unmutiliatedwords, taken from
the. eight languages given above and
comply with the above rules. The in
ternational bureau desires all compilers
of codes and all persons desiring words
from certain codes reproduced in the
official vocabulary toforward them be-
fore the end of thisyear to the ''Interna-
tional. Bureau Of Telegraph Administra-
tions, Bern, Switzerland"

its manner of saying I am tired.

you must do it's work outaide of the

This is the Shakers method of cur

attested by the fact chat these peo-

without doubt the most prevalent of

food which is promptly absorbed
without taxing the tired digestive
organs, but'it is likewise an aid to
the digestion of other foods in the
