The quickest and most though way of killing there germs is to suck n few Formamint Tablets. The pain and swelling rapidly diminish, the mouth and throat feel thoroughly dean and refreshed, and in a short time the Sore Throat is cured

COMPANY MEETING,
THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, TUESDAY, FERBUARY 11TMя. 1913.
KOWLOON LAND AND BUILDING
COMPANY, LIMITED.
The ordinary meeting of shareholders in the above Company was held yesterday at the offices, Victoria Buildings. Mr. T. F. Hough presided, and there were also present: Mesars. A. Rodger and J. M. E. Machado (directors), M. 8. Northcote (neretary), E. B. Shepherd, J. M. Alves, A. A. Fyfe, R. E. Carvalho, J. H. Seth, and Yung Yet Ting.
The Secretary, having read the notice convening the meeting,
The CHAIRMAN said-Gentlemen; — The } · report and statement of accounts, with which is printed the auditor's report, having been in your possession for some days, may, I think, be taken as read. The net profit on the year's work amounts to 817,691.43 as compared with $18,036.79 for 1911, an increase of a trifle over $1,000, which, I am sure, you will deem satisfac- tory, more especially as we have expended some $475 more than in 1911 on repairs to the property, and we are thus able to declare a dividend of $2,80 per share, being five cents per share over our last dividend and the highest yet paid by the Company.
Besides the usual upkeep of the property, during the year the whole of the exteriors wore renovated, which fact mainly accounts for the increase in expenditure appearing under the heading of repairs. Our houses are all well let, in good repair, and there is a steady demand for any vacancies that may occur during this year. Before proposing the adoption of the report and accounts, I shall be pleased to answer to the best of my ability any questions shareholders may wish to put.
There being no questions,
The report was adopted on the motion of the CHAIRMAN, seconded by Mr. ALVES, Mr. Fre proposed the reelection of Messrs. T. F. Hough and J. M. E. Machado as directors.
MI. BRUCE SHEPHERD seconded, and the mation was agreed to.
On the notion of the CHAIRMAN, seconded by Mr. J. H. BET, Mr. A. C. Hynes was re-elected auditor at the annual remunera- tion of $50,
The CHAIRMAN-That is all the business, gentleman. I thank you for your attend- ance, and I am asked to inform you that' dividend warrants will be ready to- morrow and can be had on application,
OPIUM IN CHINA.
In the House of Commons on the 16th alt-
Mr. Newman (Middlesex, Opp.) asked the Secretary for Foreign Affairs whether his attention had been called to the recent hanging and beheading of Chinese sub- jects for the alleged offence of cultivating the poppy crop; whether he was award that a female subject was recently put to death on being convicted of smoking; and whether it was the policy of his Majesty's Government to countenance and encourage the Chinese Republie in the methods it had selected for dealing with the traffic and use of opium or other narcotic.
Sir E. Grey. I would refer the hon. member to the answers which were given to the hon. member for Nottingham on the 13th inst., to which I can add nothing.
Sir J. D. Hees (Nottingham, E., Opp.) -Will the right hon. gentleman say whe ther in this case the remedy is not far worse than the disease?
Sir E. Grey. I have nothing to do with the remedy.
Sir J. D. Rees-Does not the remedy arise immediately out of the pressure put upon the Chinese Republic which arose out of the agreement made between that Republic and his Majesty's Government f
Sir E. Grey-It does not arise out of the agreement with the British Govern ment at all. Whatever measures the Chi- nese Government have taken to put a stop to the consumption of opium in China are! their own affair.
Mr. Newman.-Is it a fact that execu- tions have taken place?
