An Indescribably des lightful sensation is pro- cured by those who accustom themselves, immediately be. fore retiring to rest, to clean their teeth and rinse their mouths with the dentifrice and mouthwash Odol.
Odol penetrates the cavities of the teeth and impregnates the whole mucous membrane of the mouth, and its refresh ing antiseptic properties are felt at every breath that is drawn, a most useful and agreeable antidote to a stale mouth in the morning.

ance fund after paying the staff a bonus of 10 per cent. upon their salaries, which, in the opinion of your Consulting Com mittee, the favourable out-turn of the It is perhaps account fully justifies, advisable that I should refer from the chair to a desire which has been -expressed to me from more than source that a larger dividend should be paid. The General Managers and Con- auiting Committee are of the opinion that the time for recommending an increase in the Hongkong Fire dividend has not yet arrived; a careful study of the figures will really admit of no other cohelusion. The maintenance of the dividend at 827 per share is dependent upon a substantial underwriting profit being earned, and considering the violent fluctuations to which the figures of a fire insurance com- pany operating in a narrow field may be subject, there can, I think, be no hope of the Company being prudently able to make a larger distribution to shareholders until the margin between our income from interest and the cost of the dividend dis- appears. It seems to me wiser to make this statement in order that there may be no colour for the persistent rumours, which occur annually, and for which there is no justification, and in order to avoid disappointment to those who invest in Hongkong Fire shares. The working account for 1912 shows a decline in the income from interest, which is dec to the drop in the local rate of interest for mortgages, and to the difficulty experi- onced in finding suitable re-investraent for a number of mortgages which were paid off last year. The premium income for 1912 is also lower by about 814,000, but to a great extent this is to be attributed to the higher rates of exchange ruling in 1912 than in 1911, affecting the premium income from those agencies aporating-at-guld-using centres...
