A year of activity in various directions was reported at the an- nual meeting yesterday of the In- stitution of Engineers and Ship- builders over which Mr. G. J. Harman presided.
The Chairman said that the bad time through which the Colony had passed reflected itself on the mem- barship in that very large numbers had had to be placed on the ab- sent members' list and were for the Tuesday, April 10-N.C.O.'s and time being non-contributory.

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, 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 pale also, and getting more nervous every day.
Mr. L. C. F. Bellamy and Mr. L. J. Blackburn were elected. Vice- Presidents, Mr. A. Landsbert, Hon. Secretary, Mr. A. J. J. Martin, Hon. Treasurer, Mr. W. J. Stokea, Hon. Librarian, and Messrs.
