Conference.-The policy at Spauld-

recommending any medicine or treat

established. The Cooper Remedies
were to us an unknown quality, we
were very skeptical of their medicinal
value, and it was not until several of

WIRELESS MESSAGES
ACROSS ATLANTIC

LONDON, Jan. especially Be
fore leaving for Ireland tonight
William Marcont told a news
paper correspondent that the Mar
conf transatlantic wireless service
would be opened to the public for
all business on February l or 2 At
present newspaper messages COM
prise the business that is being done
Mr. Marconi said that at the be-
ginning the service would be between
London and Montreal only, via Cliff
den, Ireland, and Poldhu, Cornwall
and Glaze Bay. Montreal was select
ed as the beginning point for the
transmission of general commercial
business and private messages because
Canada had subsidized wireless tele-
graph to the extent of $4,000.
Speaking of the efforts of telegraph
companies in the United States to
stifle the wireless through fear of
it's competition Mr. Marconi said:
The Telegraph companies placed a
grave obstacle in the way of our
success by refusing to accept at press
rates messages which were filed in
New York for transatlantic trans
mission via Glace Bay, thus adding 8
TO cents word to the cost OF east
bound messages. The regular press
rates from New York to Glace Bay
are only / cent a word This difficult
ty was solved by a New York edi-
tor, in reference to westboud mes
sages, by appointing me the Nova
Scotia correspondent"
The rate on private wireless mes
sages between London and Montreal
will be only II cents a word, or less
than half what is charged by the
cable companies 1t is understood
that no attempt will be made, at least
at present, to extend private wires to
the wireless terminals

The Perfect Woman is Not a Fat One

Artists say the ideal proportion of
weight is 26 pounds for every foot of
her height. This would make a wo-
man of feet 4 inches weigh 1876
pounds ounces.
If you weigh more than this in pro-
portion you are on the danger line
and are likely to get too fat in a few
years. Check it by taking a teaspoon
full after meals and at bedtime of this
recipe: IL ounce Maromola, ounce
Fluid Extract Cascara Aromatic and
8 1-2 ounces Syrup Simplex Get
the Marmola sealed and mix it with
the other ingredients at home. This
mixture is harmless, will not cause
wrinkles, and has been known to take
off seven pounds a week without any
help from exercise or dieting. 1t is
inexpensive.
