SUICIDE'S DIARY OF HIS LAST MOMENTS

Emotions during his last moments before committing suicide were de- the scribed in a diary found near body of a 27-year-old Seneca Indian, Montreville Sundown, who shot him- self in his brother-in-law's home at Buffalo, New York.

THE KAILAN MINING ADMINISTRATION

DODWELL

CO., LTD., Agenta, Hong Kong.

Mr. Hore-Belisha quarrelled with other "live wires" in the Cabinet and on one occasion Mr. Chamberlain had difficulty in making peace.

This was alleged by Colonel Sir A. Lambert Ward, M.P. for North-West Hull, speaking at the headquarters of the local Conservative Association, He said:

"In spite of his great ability, Mr. Hore-Belisha is not too easy a man to get on with.

"APT TO SPARK”

"One has heard rumours of quar- rels. There is not the least doubt that Mr. Hore-Belisha is one of the live wires in the Government, but he is not the only live wire in the Governinent:

"The trouble is that when live wires are brought into contact they are apt to spark.

•

"On one occasion during a Cabl- net meeting so bad was the spark that it required all the tact of Mr. Chamberlin to damp down the con-- flagration.

“IT WAS INEVITABLE””” "The only thing under such cir- cumstances is to get rid of the most highly charged live wire of them all I am afraid it was inevitable.

"There had been quarrels between Mr. Hore-Bellsha's department (the War Office) and the Admiralty, the Air Ministry and the Ministry of Labour."

T

Colonel, Lambert Ward also referred to the report that Mr. Hore-Belisha quarrelled with Mr. Winston Chur- chill because the First Lord of the landing of Canadian troops when Mr. Hore-Belisha thought he ought to have announced this himself.

DIFFICULT YEARS FOR CHILDREN

It's when children start to shoot up suddenly that they need your special attention. Children who are growing fast often tire easily, get pale, listless and do poorly at school,

The trouble is that children have a double job of work to do, They use up energy in work and play and at the same time they are growing!

Doctors and nurses have re- commended Horlicks for years for children who need this extra energy. Horlicks moreover builds sturdy bone and muscle. You'll find that paleness disappears, and school-work improves. And the gain endless children seem t
