OVER $7,000 REALISED FOR CHINA RELIEF
The charity fair in aid of the China Distress Relief Fund held at Taiping proved an unqualled success. Large crowds Alled the grounds both day and night on the three days of the fair and brisk business was done, resulting in the collection of the sum of $7,074, bringing the total collec- tions realised by the fair to a
rency.
The Duke of Gloucester recently sum of over $15.000 Straits cur- opened the new Middlesex Sana- torium at Harefield, which has been bull to provide for 378 patients.
Speaking at the opening. the Duke said: "It is especially appro- priate that opening of this great sanatorium should take place at a moment when we have embarked on a national campaign to encour- age the use of the health services provided by local authorities.

"This building is designed for the treatment of pulmonary tu- berculosis, and it is cult to Imagine more worthy and valuable object. To tell a patient not many years ago that he was suffering from consumption was largely the equivalent to signing his death warrant, but now we know that tuberculosis, treated in Its early stages, can be a curable disease.
Its death rate has been reduced by nearly three-quarters in the past 50 years, and this remarkable result is greatly contributed to by our moderir sanatoria, of which this building is an outstanding example."
A feature of the new building is Its shape, which has been describ ed as "aeroplane." The electrical, heating, steam, domestic hot water: telephone, Bre alarm, wireless, and other services are distributed from an engineering centre by a system of underground "subways, which link the whole of the building.
