Immigration Photos
To the Editor,
The "Hongkong Telegraph." Sir, Will the Immigration Au- thority be kind enough to tell us what photos aceptable is the standard of
for application for Immigration Cer- tificates? The men in the Immigra- tion Department seem to pay great attention
to photos and much time is spent in
in criticising the size, thickness of
paper and so on of the photos honded to them. The work will be quickened should we know the exact size, thickness of paper etc., of photos beforehand,

A vivid description of life in Britain as he found it during his stay there from May to September this year was given by His Excellency Sir Shenton Thomas, Governor and Commander- in-Chief of the Straits Settlements, in a broadcast talk from Government House on Sunday.
Sir Shenton spoke of the good work being done by the Royal Navy and the Mercantile Marine, and said that with these and a well-equipped army and other civil defence services, as well as a growing Air Force, there were very good sound solid reasons for confidence in ultimate victory.
In the He also described his experience of air raids. countryside, he said, the damage done had bn surprisingly small, though In London the destruction had been considerable; but all the big centres were practically untouched when he left. Of the people, Sir Shenton said they were calm, confident and happy: "The war may be long, and hard, and heavy but no one at Home doubts thai victory will be oura. It is up to all of us in the countries of the Empire to try and live up to their example," he added.

Statistics for the first three quarters of this year show 4,000 deaths from Tuberculosis, 4,004 from Beri-berl and 202 from Pellagra, compared with 4,443, 3,189 and nil respectively for the whole of 1939
Pellagra
gra made its appearance dur- ing the June quarter, when 68 deaths were reported, and the number of fatal cases increased to 214 during the September quarter,
In an effort to cope with the In- crease of deaths from malnutrition diseases, the Hongkong Anti-Tuber- culosis Association has issued an appeal for wider membership so that It can extend its activities, and every member of the community is asked to assist in the fight against Tuber- culosis.

I want to tell you
you about
THE NEW FEATURES OF THE KOTEX PAD THE KOTEX LABORATORY has developed an improved type of moisture-resistant material... made specially for Korex sanitary napkins. And a protective panel of this material is now placed between the soft folds of every Kotex padi So remember this new Kotex feature-all you who believe in "Safety First"! Remember, too, all the other advantages Kotex has
to offer...
Many a time-you'll be thankful Kotex doesn't make "reil-talc out. lides"! Just compare the flat, pressed ends (patented by Katex) with the thick, stubby ends of other napkins! It's easy to see why Kotex never makes embarrassing bulges...
FEEL ITS NEW SOFTNESS
PROVE ITS NEW SAFETY
COMPARE ITS NEW,
FLATTER ENDS
Easy to see why it's so comfort able, too! Kotex is made in soft folds (with more absorbent mate. rial where needed... less in the non-effective portions of the pady. Naturally, Kotex is less bulky than pads with loose, wadded fillerst And the soft cotton under the gauza makes it less apt to chafe!
Kotex comes in 3 sizes, tool
Super-Regular-Junior. Korex is the only popular-priced napkin that offers you a choice of 3 different sizes! (So you may vary the sixe pad according to each day's needs!);
All 3 sizes have soft, folded centers. . . flat, tapered ends ... and moisture-resistane "safety, panels". All 3 sizes sell for the same low price!
