your health is very far from satisfactory. The slightest knowledge of pathological science is sufficient to inform us how precarious is the con- dition of the person who is "only middling." The power of disease-resistance is practically nil,& an ordinary atmospheric change or dietetic irregularity may lay you up for weeks.
Take
care therefore that you possess acthing less than vigorous, robust health Just as nothing succeeds like Success so there is no better guarantee of sus- tained health than never to let yourself run down.

Siebs (Chairman) presided, and few outbreaks in the villages around there were also present:-Messrs. J. W. nothing of any consequence has happened. C. Bonnar, G. Friesland, F. Lieb, W. L. It was expected on all hands that at the

The CHAIRMAN said: Gentlemen,- The Directors' Report and Statement of the Company's Accounts for the

F. Hickman. these men could get a hit back at the Government was by falling foul of the foreignore. The Government bave se far shown that they have a good grasp of the situation, but what effect the rioting in the North will have remains to be seen. On Sunday there was a big procession round about the Eastem part of the City and also on Monday. These did not seem past year, bearing the form of Audi- to have any object except to keep the tors' Certificate as required by the new people engaged employed and prevent Companies Ordinance, having been in them getting out of hand while the news your hands for the past seven days, I of the Peking trouble was fresh. Cha Kwong and Ho Lai Hap, two influential men in the army, have taken over the protection of the Western and Southern Suburbs and they have received special instructions about Shameen.
RIFLES.
Lung
One cause of trouble was that many of the pirate and robber troops brought with them into the ranks of the people's army new and modern rifles at which the Government at the time was only too pleased. This of course developed into a moot question later on when it was seen that sooner later these men would have to be disbanded and disarmed, go they were promised $100 for their rifles. It is stated that in many cases these men have given up their arms, but have not received the promised money, which, if true, means an agitation that will not die. down in hurry.
MORE FIGHTING AT KO TONG.
There has been more fighting still at a number of villages near the railway line, about 10 miles from Wong Sha. Over the most trivial incidents these villages are ever ready to be at each other's throats and it is anything but peaceful up there. Things

will, subject to your approval, now adopt the usual course and take them as read, It affords us much pleasure to be able to come before you with such favsarable re- sults for the working of the year 1910. The loss ratio of this account is 48.46 per cest. of the premia income, as compared with 54.65 per cent, for the year 1909, and the balance of profit to be dealt with amonats to $346,651.03. It is proposed to apportion this sum as follows:---
Dividend of $7.00 and Bonus
of $2.00 on 20,000 shares... $180,000.00 To add to Extra Reserve

aceruing to such a fund will be normal, we are hopeful that successful results will be shown. By the addition of $51,324.39 to Extra Reserve, this fund will then stand at 8717,248.46. It is a matter of regret that during the past year, in com- mon with other local Companies; our in- vestments have further depreciated, and to meet this it has been newssary to trans- fer $10,000.00 to the credit of Investment Fluctuation Account. We are satisfied; however, that the Company's holdings in shares are quite sound and we look upon this depreciation as only temporary. Turning now to the new account, Pre- Fresh N.E. winds may be expected along the mium and Interest Accounts show respec- S.E coast, and moderate winds over the Ntive gains of 88,050.05 and 28.10, China Sea.
