As i land to reduce some seven or eight pounds off my normal bodyweight in order to enable me to compete in the g-stone class, I had to go into very strenuous training, and with the help of Phosferine, I not only won the championship of that class, but also the individual Championship, and, in addition I broke a British Record.
I therefore have no hesitation in recommending Phosjerine to any physical culturist or athlete, whether he be in ordinary training or preparing for a competition, as it

Daily Press, June 28, 1858, We have heard a rumour and while we refrain from youching for its veracity we cheerfully endorse the expediency of its tenor that at 4 private meeting of our Legis lative Council, it was arranged, that in consequence of the injury which the projected amalgamation of the branches of the legal proges sion might inflict upon the chaner practice of the Attorney General that learned functionary is to be exempted from the operation of its provisions: receiving as an equiva lent £500 per annum as an addition to his salary.

It would be most in decorous for a gentleman in exten sive practice as a barrister, and solicitor, to be compelled to re- linquish it on. a sudden, and to determine on the Bench the vary cases which he had managed as an Attorney. Certainly such a con- tingency confronted us, and was doubtless the inducement which in Suenced Sir John to yield his com- pensatory increase.

Although the number of flights by British aircraft between Great Britain and the Continent during 1932 was slightly less than in 1931, the number of passengers carried on such fights shows a remarkable in-- crease, the total for 1939 being 41,609, as compared with 21,025 for 1931. This increase was consider ably greater than that achieved on the cross-Channel services of any other nationality, with the result that of the total number of passen- gers carried across the Channel by air 59 per cent. were carried by British aircraft in 1932, as compar. ed with 49 per cent. in 1931.

The value of exports and re-exports, rose from £773,858 to £1,149,140;' the value of imports fell from £2,022,592 to £981,143. The general decline in price levels during the 14st two year should be borne in wind in considering these figures.
