A CELEBRATED BEAUTY

Head Pains, Gout, Lassitude

Readers ses for themselves that those in a position to pick and choose--- whether they are Royal Personages, popular celebrities, experienced doctors, nurses, athletes, &-without exception unhesitatingly select 'Phosterine as the one certain remedy for all pervous disorders. All these distinguished people positively attribute their increased energy, efficiency, or prowess, to the revitalising potency of Phosferine, and their opinion is again confirmed by the celebrated beauty, Mrs. Una de Louth, who finds the wonderful tonic imparts such a delightful feeling of youthful vigour, that she can retain her good looks without the least trouble. Mrs. Una de Louth is deeply grateful for the inestimable service Phosferine rendered her in completely curing gouty head pains, and so effectually dispelling the nervous depression and lassitude" which endangered her exceptional beauty, that she has kindly permitted us to publish her happy experience of Poslerine for the benefit of other readers.

Quite driven away.

Mrs. Una de Louth (the beautiful and talented Society reciter, and daughter of a late well known Member of Parliament), writes :--"I have great pleasure in stating that your Phosferine has done more for me than all the doctors, for long standing and severe gonty pains in my head. Indeed, I have had instantaneous relief after taking only a few drops of your wonderful world-famed remedy and I would never be without it in the house again on any consideration—I treasure it among my household gods.

I always find Phosferine helps me and invigorates my system to a wonderful extent, and before acting or reciting have never known it to fail. It is in my opinion a tonic that has marvellous and lasting effect, and all who have tried it agree with the that I do not over-rate it in the least"-8, Lansdowne Square, Hove, Sussex.-November, a, 1908.

WHY BE AFRAID TO SPEAK P.

A TILE AT THE CONVENTION OF

INTRODUCTIONS,

The late Mr. Jamsetjes Tata conceived, many rears ago the idea that a national steel industry ought to be established, for the boneft of the people amongst whom he lived and worked so Buocessfully, and for whom he did so much. With a generous hand he spent the considerable srums iosessary to explore whaustively the jungles of the Central Provinces "In many places iron ore was found in some places of excellent quality, and in large quantities, The old world would be a pleasant place if we but the cost of transportation and of shook ourselves free from thuse, bonds of son- enfiable fuel were found to place insurmount-vention wluch restrain us from passing the time stila difficulties against projects to utilizo of day with whomsoever we would.

that we met a lady in the meade, and I was inclined to agree with him: Her hair was long her foot was light.")"

But we are cowards and slaves (snil the Philosopher roundly). Without an introduction we speak only to those whom we consider our inferiors. If we meet a carter in the road, we ory: "Good morning!" to him, and stay to speak of his bores or the weather; but we meet a lady in the meada, wo look the other way, or at least we feel that we ought to do so.

it. Finally a large deposit of high-grade (Thas spoke the Philosopher, as it chanced hematito iron ore, containing from 50 to 65 per cent, of pure froh, but of a posed ble 70 per cent. was found in the State of Mour- bhanj in the hills of Garamaishm. Here the coalitions at last seemed to justify a great enterprise but Mr. Jansetjes Tata did not live to soo the realisation of the work which he had conceived. His sone and friends, how ever, devotedly, and, with indomitable courage and perseverance continued and developed his plans. Nearly four square miles (2,400 acres) of coal land were secured in the best part of Jheria Field. This land is undesiaid by four known seams of workable coal, combining a thickness of 40 feet of solid fuel, correspond ing to a total recoverable quantity of minerial of about 4,000 tona per acre or nearly 100,000,000 tons in the area owned, and the Tata Iron and 51,75.000 to exploit this buried wealth. was formed with a capital of Rs. 2,31,75 The project was an enormous one-probably the largest undertaking which has yet been initiated by natives of India and it was estimated that it would take three years from the commence- ment of operations before the works could be built and the plant installed ready for trans forming the iron ore into esat iron, steel rails And bars; and as fifteen months of that period have now elapsed it may be interesting to explain the progress already male.

COLLECTION OF MATERIALS."

The steel works, when erected, will be the central gathering ground of the various a materials which will there be worked up into erado iron, or stool. The iron ore will have to come from Orissa and Morbhs, the coal from

Juerle, the flux from Bires in Bengal and Katni in the Central Provinces, the manganesó from Balghat, also in the Central Provinces and the minor raw materials from various other parts of the works the site had to be cleared of jungle, roads had to be made, the foundations for the furoutes and machine shops fald, village settlementa founded in the neighbourhood to provide reserves of labour in times of diffealty, an adequate water supply had to be provided and about three hundred houses had to batailt for the accommodation of the faremen, clerks and labourers who will be required. More over, apart from the conveyance of materials to the nearest railway station, there had to be about thirteen miles of inder siding constructed for the transportation of the raw materiale and tintslied products between the works and the railway station. It is upon these preliminary preparations that the Company has been at work for a year and a quarter, and they are now nearing completion. The bungalows for the workpeople have been built; temporary buildings have been put up; a hospital and medical and sanitary establishment have been completed, pre- parations have been made for the conveyance of water by water carts to the various tanks provided in different parts of the area; and as will be seen from the illustrations in the week's supplement, the site which formerly was covered with a virgiu jangle with a few small villages now has the appearance of a busy industrial town. The ilustrations, however, only show the work which had been carried out in the works area, but extensive perpartery operations have also been completed on the oval fields, at the limestone quaries, on the iron ore Selds and at the manganese mines. The engal-Nagpar Railway Company have already made progress with the railway, between the works and the ore fields, and the railway communications in the Steel Company's site have been practically completely established.

THE WATER BUPPLY,

Now, in this matter every one of us is his. own unwilling save. It is open to every one to break the bonds of convention, and to set an example of free speech to all the world. With our own hands we have buckled on the armour which not only prevents us from speaking with. whomsoever we would, but makes it impossible duction. for others to converse without o formal intro- It wonkl seem that either we dare BOL trust ourselves to speak, or dare not run the risk of being spoken to; but this is not truly the the case; the truth is we still fear Mrs. Grandly.

If I were preacher I would go forth and ory alond to all men: Rise up in revolt against yourselves. Unbuckle the armour of your stalu-

iveness.

Grant yourselves the boon of free speech not only to your inferiors, if you imagine you have any, but to your equals, and no less to your superiors, supposing they exist. And at all times be as ready to be spoken to as té sek,"

If I wore the Lord Mayor of London I would" call a meeting at the Mansion House to deal death to the convention of the introduction and to inaugurate the era of speech freedom.

There is a saying in philosophy: "He who puts up a fence shuts out more than he shats in." The power of speech is the most blessed at- tribute of man. Yet we stifle this boon for the

sake of a convention.

DUMB AND GLUM.

The etiquette of the call is no less a kill-joy than that of the introduction. It is pure con- vention that calls in England may be paid only by residents on newcomers. Other countries have different conventions; in Italy it is the newcomer who must pay the first call or never be known. That, no doubt, is a wiser plan; but

As I hold that everybody should be free to speak to anybody, and say there would be no harm in it, and that the harm in free speech now comes from the convention of restraint, so I hold that everybody should be free to call on anybody. At least, the first speech and the first call might be released from arbitrary bondage, Whether an acquaintanceship thus begun should he carried on might well depend upon the person first spoken to or called upen,
