The Food of Kings
Court Physicians know the best and see that Royal Babies have the best. That is why Glaxo has been used with success in 5 Royal Nurseries. Only the best is good enough for your Baby, for is he not a King to you? Give him Glaxo, the food that contains everything that will build firm flesh, strong bone and a sound constitution.

SOME NOTES BY THE COMMISSIONER.

RECENT PROGRESS. From the current number of "The Silver Wolf," the organ of the Hong Kong Boy Scouts, we extract the following from the letter of the Commissioner the Rov, G. T. Waldegrave:-

Mr. Jackson, for Scoutmaster of the 2nd H.K. (St. Andrew's) Troop, has had to give up Scouting owing to a very severe finess, and though he has happily recovered, he has had to go Home on sick leave. We sincerely hope that the Old Country will prove a very successful doctor valescence.

If the foreign Scouter controls and guides, he can work in the details by means of his Chinese Assistants as interpreters and go-betweens, while it is really wonderful how in spite of the language difficulty made and close contact can be maintained between Scouter and Scouts. These Tung Wah Troops round the will of course centre schools run by that famous and hardworking body, the Tung Wah Hospital Committee.
In common with all other Scout Ing centres our great handicap is the lack of Scouters. This need is by no means decreased by the fact that whereas in the United King dom Scouters do not as a rule go on holiday for more than a month or 80, here it is usual for leaves to be six months or more, and we are continually having to find "stop-gaps," as well as men to take on new Troops. There is no dis- guising the fact that Scouting makes a very big demand on the Scouter, self-denial being a quality much required, for spare time and personal convenience have to give place to the Troop if it is to be run properly. Nevertheless, so greatly am I impressed with the tremendous possibilities before us and the great part open for us to play, that I have not the slightest hesitation in saying that anyone who takes the step and joins up, having counted the cost and being willing to put the Troop first, will never have cause to regret it, even though he may have many anxious moments and, occasionally, bitter disappointments. Above all, we must ring true. What we ask from the Scouts we must be willing In the

same manner it is up to the Scouts. once they have joined a troop, to play the game by the Scouter, the Troop and the Patrol' and turn up this respect by the Patrol Leaders, who by precept and example can ensure full attendances at every parade. It makes so much differ ence both in the progress and in the spirit of the Troop if self in the individual is put a bad last, and the traditions of the Troop and all that is good in it keenly up- held. It is just wonderful how much keenness a really eager Scout can inspire, and how an enthusias tie Scouter makes all the difference. Keenness and enthusiasm are in- fectious, se let us see that our Troops get a really big dose of them bath.
With deep and sympathetic re gret I have to mention the passing away of A.S.M. Mak Tal, of 21st H.K. (1st N.T) Troop Taipe.
