The Greatest of all Tonic Foods.

Vitafor rich in body-building and nerve-restoring elements, the mill con atituanta form flesh and muscle, whilst tha Glycerophosphate revitalize the nerrse and brain. This latter effect is due to Organic Phosphorus being present in the food in the particular form in which it occurs in the human body.

at the same time, the resources of the Port

are certainly overtaxed. Still every effort

was being made, and в scherse of develop-- ment involving a very large expenditure was proposed.

POINTS OF URGENCY.

There were three points of more in- mcdiate urgency which were pressed 'upra the Government.

It was urged that the lasur force, was unsatisfactory kid immediate steps were taken to put it onore antisfactory footing, and a grea£*in

imprurement tock place.

The number of lighters was represented to be'idejuste, and although the Govern ment does not claim to have a monopoly of the lightering business and there was nothing to prevent any Shipping Company providing its own lighters, the Government decided to largely increase the number of lighters and there is now a number which

with some recognition on the part of the representatives of the Shipping Companica making use of the Port. They did not, however, ait to see what was the result of these improvements. The reply was KE prompt as it was it was unexpected, an increase of 24. 83. a ton in freights, making 126. 04. `n tou more than at Singapore and Penang,

This more on the part of the Shipping Conference caused some indignation among the local merchants who aridently did not "realise what was coming.

• The promptness with which the an nouncement of the increase of freightą was mado leads one to the almost iiremstible: conclusion that the incresse had already been decided upon and that the alleged deficiencies of Port Swettenham were made an excuso' rather than a reason for "raising the already high rates, and if any evidenco were wanting to confirm tola xiow it has subsequently been supplied by the decision of the Shipping Conference to míso the rates on rubber shipped from Porog and Bingapore so as to bring them more in, fine with those from Port Ewettenham.
