A Lay Preacher
Brain Fag, Nervous Exhaustion-
Just a change of opinion was enough to give Mr. W. King his present prosperity, for he realised in the nick of time that kis way was not curing his brain lag and nervous exbaustion, so he tried the Phosferine way. Mr. King's method was to ignore his despondency and feeling of collapse, and persuade himself there was nothing unusual in the painful fatigue the lightest effort to work cost him, until, as he steadily got worst, he resolved to drop his own opinion and see what Phosferine could do. The result was so astonishingly beneficial, even after a few doses, that the brain fag and nervous exhaustion cessed entirely, enabling him to do store work than before and yet not feel the strain. This remarkable advantage is seen in the extraordinary energy and vigour of Mr. King's public speaking, and so amazingly have his prospects improved since his speedy recovery, that he declares he had to come forward with the evidence of the magnificent benefit he derived from Phosferiné.
Quite Gone-Never Return.
Mr. W. J.King, School House, Trumpington Rd., Forest Gate, London, E., writes: "I am writing to add my Danie to the list of those people who have found Phosferine to be the Greatest of all Tonics. Some time back I was very much run down through overstrain brought on by incessant bodily exercise and mental application. The usual tendency of mankind is to give up some of their work, have a rest, and at the same time take medicine, so I endeavoured to keep going on without seeking advice, bust as I was getting worse I found that policy would not do. Having heard many friends speak about Phosferine, and one in particular offering me some, I decided to give it a trial. Purchasing a 2/6 bottle, 1 began to doctor myself. The result not only astonished me, but others also noticed how much better I was, even althongh I had only taken a few doses, "I found I could do the same amount of work easier, and at present am able to do more than before and yet not feel the strain. I have a good deal of public speaking, and I find an occasional dose of Phosferine is a great benefit."--May 28, 1912.

A DIVIDEND OF 50 PER CENT, ---TEN MAPURT DUTYA
The seventh annual inceting of this Company was held on the 24th wit, at the London Chamber of Commerce, Oxford-court, Mr A. A. Baumann (chairman of the company) presiding.
A representative of the scoretaries (Messrs. William Nevett & Co.) read the notice convening the meeting,
WATER DIVININO.
HEPORT ON THE TRIALS AT GUILDFORD,
The committee appointed to observe the trials of water divining organized by the Sanitary Record and Municipal Engineer- ing at Guildford at the beginning of last month have now issued their report. menta The first, which is crossed by a Three sites were selected for the experi-, sower, consisted of a bed of gravel which must contain water, since the London Clay lies under it; the second forms the P of a small-covered reservoir, the water from which was being intentionally run off; while in the third there is a sower, and also a spring which, when it was about 50,000 gallons an hour. discovered a few years ago, was yielding
It cannot be said that the seven diviners who took oficial part in the proceedings were very successful. Not only did they for the most part disagree with each other, but only one "found" water in the centre of the lawn over the middle of the reservoir and the information they gave about the large spring, when they recognized the existence of anything of the kind, was, to say the least, unprecise.
The conclusions of the committee, after comparing the state of facts known to bexist with the indications of the diviners, are that, whatever sensitiveness to under- ground water may exist in certain per- trustworthy to be of practical value, and Bons, it is not sufficiently definito and
other shows that it is more a matter of that the lack of agreement with each personal mentality than any direct in- fluence of the water. The committee re-
mark that diviners as a rule confine their attention to small streams of water, and as there are few places where these cannot be found, they may well show a large per- centage of success.ma
THE BRANDING OF CRIMINALS.
SUCOESTED MARKING OF MEN WHO ARE
DEPORTED.
The Chairman said that, although the rubber plantation industry was at present in rather a melancholy mood, ho thought ho was entitled to congratulate the share- holders on the result of the past year's working and on the excellence of their prospects for the coming year. (Hear, hear.) The net profit for the year was £76,109, which was equal to 100 per cent on their share capital. The directors were conservatives in the best sense of the term and, therefore, did not propose to divide up to the hilt," but to pay a final dividend of 35 per cent., making 80 por cent. for the year. They placed £10,000 to reserve, and carried forwar £8,613 They were adopting this policy for two reasons. In the first place, they wished to have enough cash in hand to get through their capital expenditure, for bringing the estate into full hearing without issuing more shares; and, secondly, having paid 80 per cent., they did not want, if it could be helped, to reduce that dividend. Their current season's crop of rubber was estimated at 570,525lb., against 509,052lb. last year, That there would be but this small increase was due to the fact that in 1908 they planted only about 48 acres, owing, he thought, to labour difficulties. In the following year they might expect a large increase in the output, as they would have 528 acres coming into bearing in that year. They had sold forward 206,984lb. of their estinfated crop of 570,000lb. at an average. gross price of 4. 4.18d, per lb. People were constantly asking him, what is rubber going to do If he knew, instead of standing there as their humble servant, he would be a millionaire perhaps rolling down the Epsom rail in a 40-h.p. motor- car (Laughter.) He had no special information, and he did not believe in elaborate statistics as to visible supply and demand. (Bear, bear.) He noticed that people who based their market opera. tions on statistice invariably lost their inoney. One conclusion he drew from experience was that after prices had gone up a great deal they nearly always fell, and when they had fallen they nearly always rose. He noticed that Mr. Lam pard had been urging on the rubber plantation compaies the desirability of securing the repeal of the export duty on

That would be deadly, but he night, when tired of being a“ stále bull,” take to bearing" the raw material in Mracing-lane, which would be woree. After stating that he was not in favour of any public agitation on "the subject, the Chairman moved the adoption of the report.
Mr. W. Nevert seconded the motion, which was adopted unanimously.
DIVORCE CASES · IN CAMERA.
A suggestion that deported criminals should be branded was made by Judge Rentoul at the Old Bailey, when Jules Emile Leroy, 20, a Frenchman; Arthur Wild, 25; and John Wild, 23, were charged with being concerned in thefts from a boarding house in Pembridge Gardens. W. Det.-Inspector Sanders. said the three prisoners were

The Judge sentenced Teror to 12 months hard labour, and the other two each to five years' penal servitudo, to run concurrently with sentences already passed at Lewes. In each case he said he should recommend the prisoner's de portation.
