CHRISTIANIA, July 24-The telegraph SC

CHRISTIANIA July 24-The telegraph service between Norway and the United States, which is limited to the lines by way of England has become so unsatisfactory as to be matter of grave annoy ance to Norwegian business. It sometimes takes as much as a week for the exchange of messages by cable and sometimes the cablegrams disappear altogether. In addition to the delays caused by the British censorship and the crowded condition of the trans Atlantic cables there is trouble because of the breaking of two direct cables between Norway and England.
 The Norwegian Royal Telegraph Department has been seeking guarantees that the work of the cable repairshp should not be nterfered with by the German warships, bat has been unsuccessful Through the courtesy of the Great Northern Tele- graph Company in Copenhagen, the government has been able to use cable via west Jutland and New castle directly to London but this has not relieved the difficulties about which the Norwegian business concerns cOmDlain

Hot Weather Bad
For WOmen's NerUeS
Season When They Most Need
Their Strength to With
stand the Heat.

Hot weather has a decidedly weak
ening effect on most women. They
become too languid to exercise, and
as a result have appetite only for
light, tasty foods, like salads and
other cold connections, which do not
digest readily and increase the nat
ural tendency to constipation.
At this season women should
maintain the highest possible stand
ard Of health, to counteract the ener-
waiting effect Of the weather. Good
digestion and regularity of the bow
els are essential. The combination
of simple laxative herbs with pep
sin, sold in drug stores under the
name of DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pep
sin, is highly recommended as lax
ative and digestant by many physi-
clans, as we'll as by thousands of
women who depend upon it as a
remedy for many of those ills to
which women seem more especially
susceptible.
