SKIN DISEASES

Overcome by the Wonderful Bood Purifying Properties of Dr. MORSE'S INDIAN ROOT PILLS.

THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 7TH, 1914

A person suffering from eruptions of the skin has much to endure, It is not merely the discomfiture and irritatic and painful sensation, but life is made miserable by deprision of spirits. The liver le torpid and the kidneys are partally inoperative, and you feel languid and weak. The diseases in the blood, and when the system is not cleansed through the usual channels, Nature asserts herself, and forces portions of the impurities through the skin in the form of Pieples, Bolls and Blotches. External remedies-powders, cirments, lotions-only alleviate; they do not get at the cause Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills get at the caue by removing the disease from the Blood. They cleanse the system by stimulating the Liver and strengthening the Kidneys, which filter the Blood and throw off the impure matter through the regular channels.

HONGKONG LEGISLATIVE

COUNCIL

(Continued from page 5.)

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL-What the hon. member, the Hon. Mr. Shellim, says do not think is any ground for making the godown keeper liable, but 1 think it is rather, if anything, the other way. He has gone back to the point of the question of liability of anybody. One can only say with regard to that again, that if a storekeeper could actually show and satisfy the Magistrate that he did not know anything about it, the Magis trate would say that that was extremely kely. He would have to take the circumstances into consideration in com ing to the idea of what he should Gno him, or whether he should punish him at all.

Hor Sir KA1 Ho Kit-Even if he deale very leniently with him, there is a con- viction. What 1 say is, that when a person is not responsible for the loss, and unhappily is unfortunate enough to be robbed, the Magistrate will convict him and impose as lenient a fine an possible. You are simply adding inaul to injury. I think leniency by the Magistrate does not meet the point, and I propose that at the end of the clause should be added the provision, "Provided always that no person shall be convicted under sub-sections (V)`ur (c), if he proves to the satisfaction of the Magistrate that the removal of the raw opium was not incurred with his knowledge and con nivance, or was not due to his carelessness or neglect." I think that is a perfectly just and far amendinent, because the onus of proof is thrown on the owner that the loss of the opiums was not his fault, and that he exercised due care in the custody of it.

The COLONIAL TREASURER-Part of the due care would be in my opinion to ask him if he opened the chest, and saw there was opium in it when it came to the Colony.

Hon. Sir Ka Ho Kai-If it is proved beyond doubt to not only the Magistrate but everybody else, why should a man be convicted and a light penalty imposed, or why should be even be given a warning to be more careful, or to be more fortunate That is what it amounts, to

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL-I think the hon. member forgets that we are not dealing with raisins and these sort of things. We are dealing with something which we are extremely lucky to be allowed to deal with it at all. It is very lucky that we are allowed to deal with opium in any shape or form, and for very little the whole thing would be stopped altogether.

Hon. Bir Kai Ho Kai asked for a division, which resulted as follows:-

Ayes: Hon. Mr. Shallim, Hon. Mr. Hewett, Hon. Mr. Wei Yuk and Hon. Bir Kai Ho Kai.

oes-Hon. Mr. Landale, Hon. Mr. Pollock, the Capain. Superintendent of Police, the Secretary for Chinese Affairs, the Director of Public Works, the Colonial Treasurer, the Attorney-General, the Colonial Secretary

Hon. Mr. HEWETT-Are the Government prepared to accept an amendment. if I move one with regard to making the godown keeper responsible equally with the owner of opium?

HIB EXCELLENCY-I am afraid we can not. We have considered that objection.

The motion that the clause stand part of the Bill was then put and agreed to.

On Council resuming,

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved the third reading of the Bill.

The COLONIAL SECRETARY Seconded, and the Bill was read a third time and passed.

THE DENTISTRY ORDINANCE.

to The ATTORNEY-GENERAL Owing numerous amendments which have been submitted, I propose to ask for the discharge of the committee stage of the Bill entitled, "An Ordinance to provide for the Registration of qualified dental surgeons and otherwise to regulate the practice of dentistry,"

Members agreed.

H16 EXCELLENCY - Council stands ad- journed till the 25th February.

FINANCE COMMITTEE.

A meeting of the Finance Committee was then held, the COLONIAL SECRETARY presiding. The following votes passed:

SCAVENGERS' QUARTERS.

were

The Governor recommended the Council to vote a sum of $1,000 in aid of the vote Public Works, Extraordinary, Hong- Fong, Buildings, Temporary Quarters for Scavengers.

The DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS-This is for the provision of temporary quarters Last to house 200 scavenging coolies, year a vote was taken of $3,900, which was sufficient only to cover the erection of matsheds. In addition to that, sundry expenditure was incurred in erecting kitchens of an uninfiammable material, and this additional vote is required now to meet expenditure on the structures,

Hon. Mr. HEWETT--Is it proposed later on to erect permanent buildings for these men 1

The DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORks- Yes.

THE GAOL PRINTING WORKS. The Governor recommended the Council .to vote a sum of 8900 in aid of the vote Public Works, Extraordinary, Hong- kong, Buildings, Addition to Printing Office, Victoria Gaci

The DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKs-There'

Hon. Sir Kai Ho KM-I wish it would was a financial minute taken last year stop.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL - There Dre many cases of legislation all over the world where, when you are dealing with a substance which is very valuable, and against which there is a very strong legislative feeling, very often you would get no punishment if it was in the dis- eretion of the Magistrate, but a minimum panishment bas always to be inflicted. For instance, in South Africa, anyone found in possession of a diamond uncut gets six months on the breakwater, of | necessity, but this throws the whole thing on the discretion of the Magistrate. There are many other forms of legislation where

a man may, commit a lechnical offence and be let off lightly; for instance, ho might be riding a bicycle after dark with his lamp out, and for this technical offence he would be let off lightly.

The COLONIAL TREASURER-Most respect- able individuals at home are convicted every day.

HIS EXCELLENCY-This section does not say a man will be fined or convicted. It simply says that he shall be liable, and, in many other cases, you must allow something to the discretion and common sense of the Magistrate,

Hon. Sir KAI HO KA-I am not ques- tioning the common sense and discretion of the Magistrate.

HIS EXCELLENCY Then we need not put it in the Ordinance..

Hon. Sir Kai Ho KAI-The Magistrate would have to convict

HIS EXCELLENCY- No, he wouldn't. Under this very section the uther day the Magistrate told a defendant that if he had not a strong conviction that he was a rogue he would have discharged him, but because he thought he was a rogue he would not discharge him (Laughter.) I think the Government is unt doing anything unreasonable. We are only re enacting what, as I say, is the existing. law. I will put the motion that this Section stand part of the Bill.

Hon. Sir Kai Ho Kar Will your Excellency put my amendment?

"HIS EXCELLENCY-It is not seconded.

Hon, Mr. WEI YUK seconded the amend- ment.!!

On a show of hands his Excellency declared the amendment lost, and the!

of $2,500. The amount actually expended during the year was 81,704, leaving a balance of nearly 8708. The amount now

The asked for is 8000, in excess of about $200 over the balance on the estimates. excess is due to certain alterations in the original proposition, and the cost of diverting a stormwater drain which crossed the side of the extension.
