FOR BABY'S SKIN
SCALP AND HAIR
Something for Mothers to Think About EVERY CHILD born into the world with an inherited or early developed tendency to distressing, disfiguring humours of the skin, scalp, and blood, becomes an object of the most tender solicitude, not only because of its suf- fering but because of the dreadful fear that the disfigura- tion is to be lifelong and mar its future happiness and prosperity. Hence it becomes the duty of mothers of such afflicted children to acquaint themselves with the best, the purest, and most effective treatment available, viz., THE CUTICURA TREATMENT,
Warm baths with Curicuna 30AP, to cleanse the skin of crusts and scales and suiten the thickened cuticle, gentle anointings with CCTICERA OINT- Se, to instantly allay itching, irritation, and inflammation, and soothe and hel, to be followed in the severer cases by mild doses of CUTICURA RESOL VENT PILLS (see below), to cool and cleanse the blood, are all that can be desired for the alleviation of the suffering of skin-tortured infants and children and the comfort of worn-out, worried mothers. A single set la often sufficient to cure when the best physicians fail.

Through the war in South Africa she has been financially ruined, and as one last effort to save her home in the Transvaal, has decided to adopt tho method of a certain English peer- recently in soliciting subscriptions.
The story of the woman, a widow- she withholds her name for obvious reasous as told to The Mail and Empire, on May 16 and supported by documents, in her possession, is briefly as follows:-Prior to the war she was the proprietress of n fashionable hotel in Johannesburg. Know-

to the const cash to aimount of over $1,000, which she carried representing all her savings, and the pro- ceeds of a forced sale of her furniture, was commandeered by the Boers. They argued
that the money had been made in the Transval, and should not leave the country. They left her but $85, and gave no receipt for the balance.

To mako matters worse, sho learned that the authorities of the convent in Belgium, where she had placed her children to be educated, had asked the British Foreign Ofice to remove them, as the necessary funds for their sup port were not forthcoming. After conside rablo delay, the woman received from the British officials in Cape Town nu indul. gence passage' to England. Subsequently she came to America with her children, and was employed as travelling saleswoman for n Boston house, until she met with an acci- dent in January last on the street in Buffalo that incapacitated her. While lying ill she received a crushing blow in the announce- ment that the British Government had decid- ed to set aside the Kruger proclamation of no rents during hostilities, and not to consider such back tents as a war charge.

AND DISEASE.
That the telephone-transmitter may servo to carry disease from one user to another has been suggested more than once. The feasibility of such an occurrence has been experimentally tested by Dr William' Bissel, of Buffalo, who reports his results in the Buffalo Medical Journal. They are
negative, as far as they go, and seen to indicate that the supposed danger is rather remote. We quote the following abstract made by The Medical Record: It is well known that au individual to all intents and purposes in good health may be the carrier of noxious germs. For instance, the germ of croupous pneumonia is present in the mouth of every healthy person, and the diphtheria bacillus oxists in the nose and throat of many persons who have never
suffered from the disease. Again, those who have recovered from typhoid fever and cholora continue to throw off the gorms of these respoctive diseases, while

when expectoration is profuse, the organism is expelled in large numbers. The ex- periments conducted by Dr. Bisse! took place in the early part of this year, the telephones at three of the largest hotels In Buffalo "being utilized for the purpose.j and the particular organism for which search was being made being the diphtheria bacillus. After the most careful invost- igation it was found to be impossible to demonstrate the presence of the diphtherin bacillus on any of the telephones. would this appear as if there is little or no fear of contracting diphtheria by this

This can be avoided by using some reliable remedy at the first stage of the sickness. The purchase of R bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhea Remedy often proves a profitable investment, for, by its use at the first appearance any unusual looseness of the i bowels, a severe attack of diarrhoes or dysentery may be averted, that might otherwise compel a week's cessation from Jabor.

taken to exterminate rats. The number of rat-catchera was considerably increased early in the year and as a result 117,839 rats were destroyed during the year. The number of rats cauglic during the past three years is as follows:-1900, 40,593; 1901, 77,783; 1902, 117,839. Since March asystomatic bacteriological examination has been made of all rats caught. The services of three Japanese doctors, vened in this work, were obtained from the Japanese Government for six months, and since then work has been carried on by Chinese hacteriological assistants, specially trained by the Government Bacteriologist, who arrived in the Colony at the end of February.
The result of the examination is in- teresting, at first in March only .03 per cent. of the rats caught were infected with plague. At the end of May the percentage of plague-infected rats was 5.9, this rose until the third week in July when it reach- ed 7.8 per cant., since then it gradually fall until November when it was 1.7 per cent. Notwithstanding the fact that from September to the end of the year plaguo in man had practically ceased, plogue- infected rats were still found, the percentage varying from 1.7 per cent. to 1.1 per cont. at the end of the year and then infected rats came from practically ovory health district in the Colony.
HAFFKINE'S PROPHYLACTIC.-The whole of the plaguo staff was inoculated with anti-plague serums and not a single case occurred amongst them. It was impossible however to induce Chinese generally to be inoculated.
EXTERIU FEVER.→ There were 50 casos as compared with 75 in 1901. These were equally distributed throughout the year, the number for the respective quarters being 16, 12, 12 and 15. Five of these were imported cases.
MALARIAL FEVER.-There was a still furt reducti in the number of deaths returned as amongst the Chinese from malarial fevers, the figures for the last three years being 393 in 1902, 641 in 1901, and 887 in 1900. Anti-malarial measures, viz., removal of undergrowth, training of nullahs and draining of stagnant pools, were continued during the year. A

Hongkong, 21st April, 1903.
Sin, I am directed to inform you that, at the monthly meeting of the General Com: mitteo of the Chamber held on Wednesday last, a letter was read calling the Chainber's attention to the system followed by the sharebrokers of this Colony of charging brokerage to both buyer and seller, urging that such systom precluded the broker from acting impartially, for both parties, and suggesting that the brokerage sunuld in
future be limited to the seller.
The question was thoroughly discussed and the Committee being strongly of opinion that brokerage should be borne by the seller only, unanimously passed the following resolution: That this Chamber deprecates the custom of stock and share- brokers taking commission from both the buyer and the seller of shares and that the Stockbrokers' Association of Hongkong bo asked to arrange for brokerage to be charged to the seller only.'
