"Get" Colds Quick!
Don't Wait For Chins

When you. feel a cold beginning,
take hot lemonade. Then 60 straight
to bed, under warm covers.
You'll perspire, but in nine cases
out of ten the cold will go. In the
morning there won't be trace.
Millions profit in untold ways by
this measure of prevention.
IF you are sneezing, if you ache
take hot lemonade tonight, and cheat
the cold. It's the cheapest, simplest
surest, safest way.
Just squeeze the juice of Cali
fornia lemon in glass or cup of hot
water. The effectiveness of hot
lemonade is due to more than its
heat. Add sugar if you wish.
Ask for California lemons, the tart
juicy, practically seedless kind. They
make the most effective lemonade
for colds.-California Fruit Growers

In return for rights to use certain
channels of the new Italian cable, Mr..
Carlton explained, the Commercial
Cable Co. had waived It's preferential
arrangements for Far Eastern traffic
with the Eastern Telegraph Co. of
London. which will permit the Western
Union to compete in this branch of
the business.
Earnings of the company in 1924,
reported Mr.. Carlton. varied little
from those of the preceding year.
Gross operating revenues of s112,861.-
555 were about 1 per cent larger. but
net income of $13,336,6S2 was slightly
less, due to an increase in operating
expenses. Surplus was increased from

of 1924. Revenues in the last quarter
of 1924 were the highest for that
