SOUTH AFRICAN PRATES OF BILE BEANS.

When the lives and stomach are out of orter practically the whole system is thrown out of gear, for no organu play such an important part in preserving health as these. Bilo Bons have a reputation for curing all digestive and liver disorders in all parts of the world. Mrs A. Short, of 50, Juta Street, New Braamfontein, Johannesburg, says:

T

considerable time to lie able to get a judgment from thom, and in the meantime they would be in dificulties with their liquidation. The directors thought that on the whole it was better to refer (h's matter to arbitration and it must be remembered that in proposing that they had boron in mind that one of the arbitrators & ting on that Court was a gentle mau of very considerable legal experianca in maltors of this kind-probably greater than that of any person in this Colony.

Mr. Braddell-May I ask whether the ques Lion of interest on this dividend has been refer-

to the Arbitration Court: Mr. Fort-No

Mr. Beaddoll Is it the suggestion that the shareholders should forgo their bank interest on the dividend?

"For many years I was a martyr to indigeared tion and liver complaint. I would awake in the morning quito, varefreshed. My sleep soomed to Icso its benetidal effect. A austy unpleasut taste was always in my mouth, and my stomach ga ome great trouble. The complaints were so Beate that I became quité prostrate and langaid. A.

This the directora declined to admit. Meantime the gation of law was to be referred to the Court of Arbitration.

Mr. Moseley asked if Grovemment had agreed to refer the matter to the Court of Arbitration P

The Chairman Yes.

Mr. Brakdoll said that what he felt about this matter was that it was not a matter for arbitration. The right sithor existed or it did not If the sum stated in the account was the correct amount on profit and loss and they Dust take it that it was-then there was that sum of corn and at the disposal, of the sare , which was nor in the hands of the directors holors of the Company.

Mr. Braddell-It is applicable to the payment of the dividend if the shareholders thought fit 16 drclare a dividend of that amount.

The Chairman-We infortunately lias nothing to do with it. We had not the money in our control.

Mr. Braddell Do I understand that this must be paid out of capital

The Chairman-By the Government. Mr. Braddull-It is the balance on the profit aud lose accourt and therefore it is what it is represented to be the earnings of the Company chiring that period

Mr. Fort The Government may do it, but I do not think we esu pross for it,

But such is the trumpory "evidence" apun which this shocking charge of premeditated murder is made by one set of Christians against another.
