"Some three years age my health failed mo," said Mr. Banda recently. "I could not aloep well, had no appetite, my nerves were in a very unsatisfactory condition and suffered from dizzy apelistricts. and a sense of general debility. I tried a number of medicines but they had no good effect My condition worried me and I got
worse.
"It was a friend who advised mo to try. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and I am glad. I did, for even after the Arst bottle I asliced an improvomont in my condition, So I continued the treatment until the dizzy apelle consed to worry me, my nerves were restor- ed, and so wore my appetite and so were my appetite and peaceful sleep. I feel ever 80 much healthier and stronger since taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills ́and am thankful for what they
have done for me."

It is upon uck personal ex- periences an that of Mr.. Banda that the world-wide reputation of Dr. Williams' Pink Pilla for Fale People as a blood and nerve tonic restorative has been built up. If you are suffering from any trouble due to poor, blood' or disordered nerves be wise and | let them begin their good work for you today. Your chemist solls Dr. Williams Pink Pills, but he sare and ask for Dr. Williams'; nothing else is "Just as good."

The results, as cabled by Reuter, are as follows:
Scottish League,
It is understood that the Con- ference will last about 12 days.
Marshal Chiang Kai-shek has Ayr United been elected Chairman of the Con- Cowdenbeath ference, and General Ho Ying- Henria ching has been chosen as 'Chief. Motherwell Secretary, While Marshal Li Chai-Partick sum and Marshal Feng Yu-hsian will devote their time to the ex- amination of proposals regarding future recruiting."
Matters pertaining to military expenditure will be entrusted to the Finance Minister. Mr. T. V. Soong.
Interviewed, General. Ifo Ying- ching declared that after general disarmament, all the National armies will be recruited Into Divi- alone, which will be directly sub- jeet to the Nanking Military Ad- ministrative Counell.
This declaration by the chief lieutenant of Marshal Chiang Kai- slick is considered to be of much importance, as at present the Na- tional armies are not under the control of the Central Government but are directly responsible to the orders of the Nationalist Army Corps, of which there are four. If General Ho's policy is adopted, the Army corps system will be abolish-
