Colonial Secretary saying that the Medical Board had informed the Government that in their opinion "machine-skimmed milk is unsuitable for feeding infants under one year of age" and recommending that this should be printed on the labels in English and Chinese. The statement that this milk is largely used as an infant food by Chinese has been challenged, and we see that the Medical Officer of Health derived his infor- mation that it was from sanitary inspectors who, one would think, could not claim to know a great deal on the subject, but as their testimony is corroborated by Dr. ALICE SUBLE, latoly head of the maternity hospital, and now in private practice, there can be no hesitation to sccept the statement without further question. There remains thon the question as to whether this

REVIEW OF THE TROOP3.

At 10 am, his Excellency the Governor re- viewed the troops on the Hongkong Cricket Club's Ground. The general opinion was that the review was an excellent ona as far as it wout, but that the evolutions were too brief and the locality too confined. There was insafioiont room for the troops to manovre and a largo section of the public, who was closely packed in the surrounding streets, were unable to secure more that a passing glimpas of the pageant.

The usual onder of former reviews was depart ed from, probably owing to the locality in which Baturday's parade was hold.
