according to one of the wise old thinkers of the past,' possesses two important qualities. It"restoreth us our health when we lose it" and it "preserveth our health while we have it". Probably no popular medicine possesses these two qualities in greater measure than Beecham's Pillz. Beecham's Pills restore and also preserve the health." They are excellent to take when the system is run-down and in need of a gentle restorative. Beecham's Pills act upon arid through the organs of digestion- the regular and harmonicus work. ing of which is of the first impor- tance. They speedily correct irregularities and restore healthy conditions. It has been abundantly "proved that the occasional use of this well-known medicine 'will go far to maintain the general health. in a state of efficiency.

WOMEN IN HONGKONG.

Just at present my column may not appear to justify the title, for it is not devoted solely to the doings of women. in Hongkong, I am busy at the moment following up certain information and enquiring into the workings of the exist ing organizations, and Iventure to think that quite a number of people, will he surprised to find out how much 'useful work has been successfully entried out by a community that has the name for being gived over to a life of pleasure and sport.

Here, as elsewhere, the efforts come from the few, and the willing horse is driven again and again. This is not always the fault of the outsider, there are many women in this place who find ite hanging on their hands, they try to kill the dull hours by playing games in good weather, paying futile calls in indifferent weather, or playing bridge, and, when the weather is too bad to venture out. they sit and mope and wonder why they ever che East, or even, on a particularly de sperate day, why their parents did not choke them at birth. There are too many young women in Hongkong whose fac show the expression of discontent, and anyone with eyes that can so quickly realises that lack of occupation accounts for this unbecoming and unnecessary state.

The servant problem in this place is non-existent. If only some of the women here could face the difficulties of Europe and other countries to-day where women By from kitchen to bed-roum, cooking. tidying and still finding time to take part in outside work and social duties, there would not be time for then, to revel in discontent and boredom. Now the. thing for the energetic organizers of the various charities and good works already existing is to realise that there is a public only waiting to be awakened, and you can only awaken them by publicity. One of the virtues of the society of Hongkong is that, in an age of "self- glorification and self-advertisement by means of illustrated papers and daily paragraphs in the Press, the women here have remained almost unique in their horror of publicity. While keenly ap preciating this modesty one is bound to realise that self-advertisement has two sides. The one carried on merely for

An occas sional change of Committee and workers is always a healthy fillip to any concern; fresh ideas and new enthusiasm will provide a spur without which no object, however worthy, can be brought to a successful issue.
