Excess fat is unhealthy and unplea- sant--for both men and women. It should be got rid of whenever it ap- pears, whether early in life or late. This man, for all his three score years and ten, determined to reduce his weight. Read how he succceded:—
THE LOCAL PEACE PRESERVA- TION ORGANISATION.
A professor of Lingnan University has now written to the "China Mail" giving details of an incident in which he was concerned, which provides a story on the other side.
On getting into a taxi in Bonham Road, the professor left one of num- erous parcels behind on the pavement, discovering the loss only on reaching the Canton steamer. Telephoning the

insisted that he was only doing his duty and refused to accept any gra- tuity.
The six salts in Kruschen assist the
internal organs to throw off each day the wastage and polsons that encum- ber the system. Then, little by little, that ugly fat disappears.
"My gratitude," says the Professor, "was naturally increased.”
