Famous Sextette Beauty of

Is Grand Tonic.
RELIEVED NERVOUSNESS
AND INDIGESTION QUICK

''It takes a mighty good medl-
cine to help person at my age
who has suffered as much as I
have with nervousness, sleepless-
ness, poor appetite and Indigestion,
yet / gained wonderful and COM
p1ete relief almost Immediately
after I started taking PalO-Vin,"
enthusiastically declared Mrs. Ida
Stanley, who though she speaks
Of age, but tightly showed it as
she stepped into her sedan and
drove away from in front Of a
Peoples Drug Store, last week.
Mrs, Stanley, known all over
America as Ida Schroeder, one OF
the most beautiful Of the famous
SILVER Slipper Sextette," Girl
From Rays" Knocking Bird" and
other successes, complained con-
stantly of indigestion, sleeplessneSs
and loss Of appetite. Spent con-
siderable time the past summer at
various resorts in an effort to get
relief. ..Then came home to
Washington and luckily heard
friends speaking of Pal-O-Vin and
the, good it was doing them.
took it and really / never felt bet
ter or enjoyed better health in my
life. My appetite and digestion are
splendid and my nerves are so
steady sleep like a child" contin-
ued this wonderful woman who
directs all her own affairs besides
owning the popular Theatrical
Hotel Carroll, on e street.
'I guess a half dozena people
know IN Washington, are taking
Pal-O-Vin on my recommendation
and they are as loud in their praise
of it as am" continued Mrs.
Stanley, who looks the picture of
health and energy in spite Of her
being the mother of one of Ameri-
cas- present day stage stars. whose
name is familiar to everyone.
Washington people are too prone
to drag around complaining all the
time when they should be up and
doing something for it. A bottle OF
Pal-O-Vin increases your strength
and builds you up so nicely I can
not understand how any woman
can be patient with poor health
when the Peoples Drug Stores sell
this splendid preparation so rea-
sonably," Mrs. Stanley says.
Pal-O-Vin does all that they
claim. 1t is perfect formula. 1t
is made of the finest ingredients.
The Peoples Drug Stores guarantee
results and satisfaction or money

LONDON, December 4-Signor Mar
conf said today that within the next

between London and New York of his
system OF projecting radio waves in a
desired direction.
You see that lamp there" he said,
pointing to the electric light over the
desk in his Office in the Strand Its
light rays spread all over the room
in every direction, but If you put a
reflector behind 1t the rays shoot but
in only one direction. That's what v e

pertinent is putting a reflector behind
able TO keep radio rays from going
through a reflector. but now we final
ly have got a sort OF screen which
stops them"
The phrase. sort of screen" was as
far as the inventor would go in de-
scribing his new appliance. which is
erected behind and at the sides of the
wireless sending apparatus. So far,
he said, he had been able to keep the
waves within a radius of or de-
gree dissemination instead of $50 de-
greeS.
Under the new system, If London
were sending to New York. stations
in Connecticut would perhaps be able
10 listen in, but, in the words of Sig
nor Marconi, spain couldn't nor
could Sweden"
Less power will be required to send
radio waves in one direction. and
therefore transmission costs will be
leSsened.

plated making a trip to the United

night. Finally the differences We're
ironed out after a hurriedly called
meeting of managerial heads, and the
performance started with the rendi-

The trouble with the union musi-

manager of the Wagnerians, was due
to a promise made in Detroit to pay
them for certain rehearsa1s before the

the rush of attending to business de-

matter was overlook and we knew
nothing of the threatened strike of
the musicians until it was time to
start the performance"
