➡HERE is no worry or anxiety in rearing Baby healthfully and happily, even in a tropical climate,
Glam is the food that has been used to rear the children in five Royal Nurseries. Court Physicians see that Royal Babies have the best and most nourishing food- that is why Glaxo has been chosen.
Give your Baby Glaxo, and watch the difference after a few days; see how restfully he sleeps, how contented he is and how steadily he increases in weight. Ask your Ductor!

ARE YOU LOSING WEIGHT?
Weight is usually an index of health Heavy people can be sick, of course, but when a person loses weight It is usually a sign of malnutrition. Something is wrong and needs to be corrected before the decline becomes dangerous.
A constant feeling of fatigue, loss of strength and ambition, a lack of elasticity in the step, short- ness of breath, pains and aches that come and go, are signs that your blood is thin. Probably you are palo also and getting more nervous every day.
Take Dr. Williams Pink Pills at once and weigh yourself every day or 80. Soon the Increased ap- petite and the improved digestion will show a return of weight, strength and vigour. Your chemist can supply Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, or Bent post free, one bottle for $1.50, or 6 bottles $8.00, by The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., 60 Kiangse Road, Shanghai.

The residents of Nagyvarad de- clare that the Police forced them to entertain and feed the rioters gratis. They also allege that the Police lent weapons with which the rioters attacked the synagogues.
There is little confidence in the Government's promises of compen sation. The Hungarians consider that the only hope of. security and comfort lies in the readjustment of the frontier and the removal of alien rule in Roumania.-"Ceylon Observer."

The Rev. David Herbert Somerset Cranage, secretary of the Cam- bridge University Local Lectures and of the Gilchrist Educational Trust, has been appointed to the deanery of Norwich, vacant by the death of the Very Rev. J. W. Willink.
In Kuala Lumpur, writes a cor- respondent, although the names of streets are placed at each end, It does not appear to be a generali practice to have them affixed at the intersecting or cross thoroughfares, except in a few instances. And where this is done, advantage is usually taken to utilise a flattened er rounded corner for affixing the name board across it, so that the stranger is often at loss to know to which street the name belongs. Where there is a post for the name board there is the same tendoney -to fix the boards across the corner.
