It will be remembered that, a few days ago, the end of the cable from Penang-which is eventually to be carried to Singapore and as far East as Hongkong-was brought eshore at Colombo by the cable ship "Colonia." "ÁR EDON na the cable and was landed bere," said Mr. Adamson, "wo ware ready to transmit messagon to Penang, but the arrangements. here for the transmission and re- ceipt of messages are merely tem- porary. However, negotiations are at present proceeding in London and in Ceylon concerning the chargo's fr cablegrams by the new route, and we are, waiting until these are com- ploto before we inaugurale! the service between Ceylon and. Penang. The idea of the negotin. tions is to obtain a reduced tariff for Ceylon and to equalise the rates between India and the Far East and Colombo and the Far East.

A Big Reduction.
At the present time messages from Colombo to the Far East! bave to be sent via Mudras, and, naturally, the cost of transmission from Colombo to the Far East is considerably more than from Madras to the Far East, for the simple reason that Colombo users have to pay for the uas of the Colombo to Madras land lice. When
the new cable from Colombo to Hongkong is. com- plete, messages will be transmitted direct and, if the present negotia- tions are sqccessfully completed, the cablegram charges from Madras and Colombo, repectively and the Far East will be equa lised.
"This will naturally mean. & big reduction in the rates from Colombo to the Straits Settle- ments and beyond. Speaking roughly I should say the saving would be about three pence or four pence per word to the Far East,'
Mr Adamson added that Ceylon Government would continue to take in traffic at their own counter as formerly and would pass it on to the local office of the Eastern Telegraph Company for transmis sion. At the present time the Company is very much pressed for office accommodation in Colom- bo, but this disadvantage, it is hoped, will only be a temporary

Completing the Cable. Following the completion of the Penang to Colombo section of the cable the "Colonia" has now re- turned to England to fill up with cable. She will probably return to the East at the end of next month to lay a further section from Penang to Singapore and Hongkong This ...

Such is the modern physician's advice to victims of nervous disorders.
In his book on Nerve Energy," Dr. Claude L. Wheeler says: "Many people have, through ignorance of the consequences, become victims of a habit of taking drugs and stimulants. To such people Saratogen offers a form of force that may be drawn upon without danger. Sanatogen, in a perfectly normal way, creates new tissue- and nerve cells. It builds up, reconstructs and renders stable."
Similar statements have been made by over'. 16,000 practising physicians, who certify to the unique value of Sauatogen in overcoming such nervous symptoms as: „
Insomnia
Palpitation of the Hart
Depression of Spirits Morbid Anxiety Irritability of Tempar Easily-induced Physical. Nervous Dyspepsia. and Metal Fatigue. Among the my fam us people who have publicly testified to the wafte af Santigen is the Right Hon. Sir John Gorst, Privy Come cillor to the King of England, who writes:
Sir John, Gorst wishes to say he has lung been acquainted with the gre merits of Sanatogen-has taken it with exclled results, and when necessary will certainly take it again. It was also used by adaghter of his 'with great benefit.''
