Are you
Feeling
Oppressed?
If so, don't be content, to lie down under it. That is fatal. That oppressed pessimistic feeling is not the fault of the outside world, for you can always, look around and find people much worse off than yourself, who are still happy and cheerful,
When you are feeling really fit and full of vigour it is surprising how the darkest clouds turn inside out and show their silver linings.
See to that sluggish livor of yours, atimulate those lazy intestines, give your stomach and all your internal argana a general spring cleaning and than note how different you feel.
For this purpose you have only to get a vinl of Pinkettes.
"LIVER & LAXATIVE

NKETTE
PERFECTION
For that oppressed pessimistic feeling these dainty little aperient and stomach-cleansing pills are wonderful- ly effective. Pinkettes are as gentle as nature in their action and you won't know that you have taken a medi- eine at all until you suddenly realise how wonderfully bright and cheerful you have become.
Pinkettes quickly relieve the most stubborn constipa- tion, remedy biliousness and liverishness. Pinkettes banish sick headaches, flatulence, and aid digestion.

A WHOLE WEEK'S NEWSPAPERS IN ONE.
Chapters in the extremely stormy" history of the Sze Yap Steamship Company, registered in Hong Kong, were unfolded in the course of a hearing before the Full Court of Appeal. The appeal was against an injunction granted in the lower Court against certain persons continuing to act as directors of the company. Litigation followed what counsel described as a "series of rows" amongst share- holders, culminating in a stormy and much-disputed meet- ing. Full reports appear in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.

*
The complete story of the trials experienced in laying the 110-mile cable for the telephone service between Hong Kong and Canton is also contained in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL. The work was done at a cost of £120,000, and an early through service is promised.
*
*
Interesting evidence as to what were considered "necessary expenses" in connection with securing marine insurance business in the Colony were given when the public examination of a chief Chinese clerk was conducted in the Bankruptcy Court. The Official Receiver queried some of the incidentals, alleging that the debtor had paid little attention to the rights of his creditors. The OVERLAND CHINA MAIL reproduces the hearing in full,'',
*
A full statement, for public peruaal, has been issued by the Indo-China Steamship Company, giving detalls of the negotiations between the Company and the Marine Officers' and Engineers' Guilds of China on the subject of the basis of wages payment. The statement traces the history of the discussion from its beginning, and is given in its entirety in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.
The OVERLAND-CHINA MAIL also contains the gist of an interesting address on the work of the Salvation Army, given by Miss Rains before the Rotarians of Hong Kong.
The typhoon over the China Coast recently, was re- sponsible, it is thought, for the driving ashore of the Indo- China 9.8. Co.'s vessel Walshing. The OVERLAND CHINA MAIL gives details, together with the notice of the despatch of one of H.M. destroyers, to the scene.
