THE OVERSEAS LEAGUE.

very great, more especially to those members of the Empire who come from the Dominions and who may be strangers to the country. It alms at being a rallying point for all members of the British Empire.
Other Fentures.
In addition to the social side, the League also maintains an informa- tion bureau for the purpose of giv- ing Information to those who may contemplate visiting or secking employment In other parts of the Empire, especially regarding local conditions and prospects of employ ment. The centre enables such in- formation to be got first hand from those living in the particular parts of the Empire to which

not infrequently happens that person on very sketchy information sets out expecting to find favour able conditions and employment in a distant part of the Empire, only to be disappointed when he arrives thore. The information bureau of the League, by enabling members to get first hand information, alms) int obviating such mistakes.
口
The League also maintains trade-bureau, which aims at promot ing trade between the various parts. of the British Commonwealth, and In providing accurate information as between actual or potential ex- porters and importers. British Trade Development Expedition, con- sisting three
of young membera uf the League, is now

Emigration Bureau.
The League publishes monthly a most attractive periodical under the! nume of "Overseas." It is a most readable publication, and I consider that it alone is a good return for the very moderate subscription to the League, which in the case of overseas members, and these ving further than a hundred miles from Charing Cross, is only ten shillinge The magazine lo sent out a year. free and post free to members. It was started in December 1915, and its publication already exceeds 40,000 monthly. I may say that, while my copy comes out to us here, my wife's always goes to our sons, with a view to keeping alive their interest in the Empire to which they belong.
Another useful activity of tho League is its Emigration Bureau, which assists in sending boys to Canada, and boys and girls to AuB tralia and New Zealand. This side of the Lengua's activities has been a great success, and it is hoped that increasing good will result. This домі work is not confined to tho home centre, for Singapore has sent no less than seven boys to Canada under the auspices of the branch in that port. Something in this direc tion might be possible in this Colony.
H.E.'s Appeal.
I have given you, perhaps at the expense of boring you, these details regarding the League, and I appeal to you very strongly to give supporti to a movement whose great object: is to strengthen the bonds which bind together the various parts of the great British Empire, an Em- pire which we regard as the greatest tint the world has Bech. It has interests in all continents, and its members number some 475,000,000 persons, out of a total world's population of a little over 2,000,000,000. It has been built up, in a somewhat haphazard fashion perhaps, by the efforts of many great men and women whose names are too numerous to quote-people of vision, energy and enterprise.

-exercise the greatest care in the choice of baby's food. So much in later years depends on the foundation lald in infancy. With the mother lies a big responsibility, the wel- fare of the coming generation. The tropics especially call for a healthy constitution. For baby, therefore, the best only is good enough. This is the reason why you should give baby plenty of "BEAR BRAND" Milk. It does more than merely nourish, It builds up the whole system, it paves the way to perfect health and success in life. BEAR BRAND comes from the great Swiss Milk centre, the Emmenthal, it is very rich in nutritive elements, absolutely pure and an infant food par excellence. BEAR BRAND Milk goes to make healthy babies, happy children, success ini men and women.
