The bird sanctuaries in Hyde Park, Kensington Gardens, Re- gent's Park, Richmond Park, Greenwich Park and St. James's Park Lake are the subject of a report issued by the Bird Sanc- 1uarica Committee. Mr. Rudge Harding, in a report regarding 'Hyde

Park and Kensington Gardens, records themating of a wild gadwall with a wild duck, which later appeared on the Long Water accompanied by a duckling. From the fact that the gadwall mallard which attacked any approached the wild duck and the young bird, it seemed fairly safe lo conclude, adds Mr. Harding, that this single duckling was his offspring. The Superintendent KING EDWARD HOTEL

also reports that during the spring of 1923 a pair of pheasants found their way to Sanctuary No. 1, where they hatched and reared a brood of five young.

To Eat! Such is the plight of thousands. They dread mealtimes, for they know that suffering will follow; they know that. diet as they will, digestive disorder is remorseless, and it has them in its grip. The pity of it is that such suffering is quite unnecessary, as any doctor can tell you. A little Bisurated Magnesia, taken in water (or a couple of the tablets swallowed) will instantly neutralisa the harmful acid which gives rise to the trouble, and thus prevent all possibility of discomfort. You'll gets for:—ADMİRAUTY CHARTS, Buffer no more from stomach troubles or weakness of the vital organs if you go to the nearest chemist, get a package of this sure He- cure, and take as directed. member, a dose of Bisurated Magnesia, will stop the worst attack of stomach pain instantly, and you've only to take the pre- paration for a very little while to feel a different person altogether -healthier, happier and brighter.
