In the whirl of trying Hong Kong summer rendered all the more unbearable by the acute shortage of water, letters to relatives and friends in other parts of the world frequently fail to be written even by the most ardent correspondents. It is a kindly thought, therefore, to ensure that those away from the Colony or folks at Home; should have an unfailing supply of Hong Kong and China news every week by means of a subscription to the "Overland China. Mail.”
Without any trouble of packing and worrying about the Post Office on your part, and at a one-and-only cost of H. $3.75 for three months, the "Overland Chizza Mail will be sent Home for you every week, catching the mail regularly. It contains just the news, features and pictures from the daily "China Mail that make a studied appeal to people with **any interest whatsoever in Hong Kong, and
