If people past sixty years of age
could be persuaded to go to bed as
soon as they take cold and remain

would recover much more quickly,
especially if they take Chamberlain's

be less danger of the cold being fol-

eases,-AdV.

BEL GUM SCORNS PEACE BAIT
Won HertIing's Suggestion is Second


Paris, Feb. 2S.-A Belgian diplomat
official said Belgium probably would
not deign to respond to Won Hertling's
brutal and undiplomatic peace sugges-
ton. He said:
"Dignified silence is the best reply
to the undignified and thoroughly
German proposal. This is the second
time Germany has offered openly
separate peace to Belgium. Once be-
fore. in 1914. after the fall Of l1ege,
a similar proposal met with an en-
phatic rebuff from the Belgian gov
eminent. If any reply is vouchsafed
now it will be equally as emphatic.
It is Belgium's unalterable decision to
remain staunch to its allies, friends
md protectors"

Cavite Flashes Time Over Pacific.
Since October l the radio station at
Cavite, cooperating with the Philip
pine bureau of posts and the Manila
observatory. has been sending out
time signals of the 120th meridian
east of Greenwich at IL a. IN. and 10
p. m. every day, says Science.
For the purpose of sending time sig
nails, the transmitting clock of the
Manila observatory is connected with
the Cavite wireless station through
the bureau of posts. Manila observa-
tory time signals begin at 1855 a. m.
and 9:55 p. M, standard time Of the
Tooth meridian east of Greenwich, and
continue for five minutes. During this
interval every tick of the clock is
transmitted, except the 2sth, Goth,
54th, 55th, seth, 57th, 5Sth and 59th
of each minute.
The situation of Manila in the Pa
cific makes this service of the great
est importance to the mercantile and
naval fleets that ply upon that ocean.
