American Express Travelers Cheques
Dednition of TRAVELLERS' CHEQUES-
The system of Travellers Cheques was originated in 1801 by the American Express Company with the object of creating a form of travel currency which would give the holder the security of a lotter of credit and at the same time the convenience of local currency. The Company registered the cheques under the trade name of 'AMERICAN EXPRESS TRAVELERS' CHEQUES" 'the world “Travellers' being spelled with ons "L" The advantage of the Choques was no apparent that other banking institutions adopted the system."

COCKTAILS IN KENYA. TENNIS ASSOCIATION. CONSIGNEES' NOTICE.
"SAPPING THE LIFEBLOOD OF THE COLONY."
Cape Town, Jan. 24. Sir Alfred Davies, late Perman- ont Welsh Education Secretary at the Board of Education, returning here from Kenya, condemns as vicious the habit of the cocktail the "Sundowner" habit of the Colony.
.
He says that wretched conven- tion filetates that the day begins, continues, and ends with the habit, which no physique, no purae and no person intending to make a success of life would be able to stand for long. He said ho had counted as many as 16 bottles of liqueurs ready for Immediato use in the private house.
If men going out to make good spend so much time fuddling their brains they must come, Hooner or later, to an untimely end, in some cases contracting illness, which their undermined constitutions cannot resist.
