DISTINCTIVE HATS BY
HENRY HEATH
ITO
From our experience we know that the Hat creates the greatest difficulty for most men. There are so many variations in the shape of the Hat, the type of features and the colour of the complexion to be dealt with, that most men are appreciative of a little expert guidance in the difficult matter of selection.

The Congress has often been a cused of attempting to repudiate "public debts." Far from being a "repudiation, the offort of the Congress is to ratify burdens, which have been undertaken in the country's interest. The present public debts cannot be truly called National debts" for they have been incurred, really, by Great Britain and imposed upon India. “ It has been suggested, in some quarters, that all these obligations have some degree of sanctity, and should not be disputed.
