Cod-Liver Oil with the

Pleasant Taste

"BYNOL

TRADE HARI

Bynol' is, a perfect combination of Norwegian Cod Liver Oil with the finest Malt Extract and possesses unique nutritive and body-building properties. As an energising and protective food for children and adults it has no superior. Although containing a very high proportion of Cod-Liver Oil the taste of this is so effectively masked in Bynol' that it can be taken readily in cases where the oil alone could not be tolerated.

The following letter testifies to the pleasant taste of this preparation.

THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH,

CHICAGO THE BEAUTIFUL.

·TALL BUILDINGS AMONG WORLD'S LOVELIEST.

Chicago is to me the most Inter- esting city in the world to-day writes Mr. Hamilton Fyle.

Why?

Because it is so latensely alive and because it la changing so quickly (as a boy changes betwoon 10 and 16). Because there is a chance of its becoming the most beautiful clly in the world.

I can hear the air fill with shouts and screams of protect.

"What? Chicago beautiful? With its chessboard streets, smoky atmosphere, its overhead. railways? Impossible!"

GERMANY'S SPY SYSTEM!

REPORTED TO HAVE BEEN RESTORED,

London, Decembor 29.-The ar- real in Faris of A man Stranders, an alleged spy, is note- worthy for the close co-operation. between Scotland Yard and the French Police.

A special branch of Scotland. Yard, which had been for some time interested in the movements of Stranders, eventually com- municated with the French Police with whom they have since been working in the closest co-opera- itation.

Stranders is an ex-territorial officer. He received a commission as equipment officer in the Air Force during war-time and gorved in the Inter-Allied Aeronautical commission of Control in Germany from 1910 to 1922.

So I should have said that when I first knew the city nearly 20 years ago.

It was then hideous, though even then I found wide, green, tree lined streets and open spaces In that part of it which lies around the University of Chicago.

Out-Rivalling New York. There was at that time not a building worth looking at, except of the University blocks. There was not one good hotel.

To-day its tall buildings rival and outshine New York'a.. One of them, the Tribune Tower, ia among the loveliest things I have ever acen. Its spirit is Gothic; the per- fect harmony of its proportions is derived from the Greeks and the Georgian period."

Eventually he settled In Dus- seldorff and Inter in Berlin as an importing agent.

Mysterious Dr. Weber.

: Paris, December 29,--The cows- papers state that nothing compro- mising has been found on Stran- ders, who declares that he is the victim of private vengeance.

A mysterious Dr. Weber is men- tioned in connection with the case who, according to the newspapers, is the head of the German espion- age organisation.

A reference notebook found in his hotel is alleged to contain ́ de- signs of air engines.

Stranders is reported to have aid that the information he cal- lected was merely mechanical and-

of military interest.

Against a clear sky (three were many days of blue and gold while I stayed in Chicago), or in the dusk, or with the moon high and a velvety night of stars behind it,not the Tower atira in me the same sense of exquisite satisfaction which I feel at Chartres or Canter- bury.

So far it stands, as a thing of beauty, alone. Some of the other tall buildings have merit. Some look impressive when they have light thrown on to them in the evening.

There is a Gothic spire. for ex- ample, which under this treatment makes one forget its incongruity by day. A monstrosity built of chewing-gum-I mean by a chew ing-gum manufacturer-is trans- formed by the searchlights all around it into a fairy palace.

But no other of the immensely high offee or apartment blocks come near the Tower in design or in effect on the imgination. It would be too much to expect that they should.

There is excellent hope for the future, however, in a noble a design winning n open competi- tion, and in the very successful effort which many American ar- chitects are making to adapt Gothic and other classic forms to modern uses.

I caught sight one day of what

Wanted in Britain. Interviewed by a representative of the Petit Parision, Maltra 'Ger- vala, who will be counsel for the defence when Stranders is tried, is reported to have said that one main fact had emerged from the affair, namely, that Germany was restoring her pre-war system of espionage.

The Matin states that the Bri- tish authorities have applied for the extradition of Stranders, who is alleged to have attempted to ob-i tain information of aviation secrets in Great Britain as well as France,
