Miss Helen Turner of 3O1 Arctic the fact that she has at last found great relief in the Herbal Tonic CINOT. For a long time Miss Turn CT found it impossible to rest at night and would lay in bed for hours and hours before getting a wink of sleep. This wore down her physical condi- tion and the loss of sleep gave her q continual tired feeling.
 Indigestion added to the discom- fort. She had pains in her back and life was one long round of misery. She had spells where everything would pin before her eyes.
 Today Miss Turner says, CT think that CINOT has proved a wonderful remedy for my recent ills. I am now fully recovered again and lay the <elief to CINOT alone. I have tried many remedies but they only helped me temporarily. Two bottles of CINOT have been taken by my self and I am going on with the third. There never will be a time when I will allow our house to De without a bottle"

Small Radio-Telephone Set

The development of small wireless
telephone outfit, juse announced. that will
operate on alternating current, is de-
scribed with Illustration in the Popular
Mechanics Magazine 1t is of greater
significance than might appear at first
thought, because the vast majority of
lighting circuits are "a.c'' Such a set
therefore may be plugged into a lamu
socket, needing no other source of power.
In the outfit, as prepared for the market,
all the equipment IS mounted on 20xl4
inch panel, and on~a small Dashboard,
weighing complete less than 50 pounds.
The telephone transmitting range is 10
to 20 miles, two or four oscillator bulbs
being used with two rectifier bulbs. The
change from transmitting to receiving is
made with push button and relay. The
Geographic range is as much as 100 miles.
