- Mr. Welford. Royal Engineers, on- quired why H.B. did not attend the meeting when the question of postpone ment was discussed, and Mr. Tannochy of H.B. said that his club had made a reasonable request and saw no reason why he should attend: It was pointed out-that he would then have had aff opportunity to place his case to better advantage before the Committee.

On the proposal of Mr. Winglee. beconded by Mr. P. K. Laŭ, it was decided that the only matter before the fmeeting was whether the resignatioti of H.B. be accepted or not, Mr. Wel ford pointed out that should the com- mittee refuse to accept the resignation of H.B., which was on the proviso that: the H.B Mindanao mattli ba' replayca. there might be a protest from Min danno.

H.B. Stand Firm

THAT'S

DANGEROUS

BLEEDING GUMS!-that's the first sign that your teeth are in danger, the first sign of gum-rot (pyorrhoea) and gum- biceding (gingivitis). These are the diseases which so often result in the extraction of perfectly sound, white teeth. But you can guard against this danger by using Gibbs S.R. Toothpaste. It contains Sodium Ricinoleate, which dentists use in their surgeries for preventing and curing guma discases. Get Gibbs S.R. to-day-use it twice daily--and keep your gums healthy and your teeth sparkling white!
