Mah jongg players in the roof garden will have to descend to the first floor for their tea, but this has been found unavoidable because of the Hotel arrangements, There should be no confusion if those who are going to dance in the rose room (4.30 to 6 p.m.) take tes on the first floor before going to the top of the building.
Much time and thought has been put into the arrangements, and they are thought to be the best that could be devised. One and all are certain of having an enjoyable afternoon and, further- more, assisting the good work done by the organising body.

It was because, they wanted to prevent that ignorance that they wished to teach the future genera are hereby notified that their cargo tion to get beyond that lack of will be discharged into Holt's Whart knowledge, so that health rantters Kowloon, where it will lie at Con- were now being made of great im*gnees' risk and subject to terms and portance in schools.

Dr. Minott went on to say that most people who were not healthy failed to be healthy because they did not know the simple ways—nod they were mainly simple--of getting health. They failed because they not to have done and had not done had done those things they ought those things they ought to have done. People were apt to rely on sanitary inspectors, ment inspectors and the like, instead of looking. after such things themselves. They were now trying to tench children in schoole, not necessarily how to make their own bread, but to realise the commonplace matters, which was all they could do.
