Two of the main reasons why so many people are lacking in suergy are imperfect digestion and constipation. If your stomach and liver are not doing their work effectively your system will not be properly nourished. If your bowels are irregular a certalit amount of waste matter will be retained in the system which will adversely affect the purity of the blood.

Dealing with the question whether the bill then before the Committee was on the right lines or should be extended, limited,pansion.-The Financial News. or varied in avope, the Committee report.. ed that on this peint several complex questions arose, adding":"It has some. times been suggested that n simple solu- tion can be found by empowering judges, at their discretion to fprhid publication of nuy evidence or other part of the proceed- ings which they held to be injurious to public morals. under penalty of contempt of court: bat apart from the likelihood of different judges taking different views, your Committee are satisfied fron por- sonal knowledge that this course is not in fant practicable, and that even if the power were granted, its exercise would prove precarions and spasmodic,

IMPORTANCE OF PEKLICITY.

Before going further, two outstand- ing essentials should be emphasised. One is the importance of publicity, which is a tradition and principle of British justice, and was broadly favoured.by all the wit- nesses though they were not agreed on its value is a deterrent. Often it may be sout with some human natures the ten- deney may be quite the reverse, when offenders are written up into heroes to be snap-shotted (as Sir A. Bodkin. phrased it), and are placed on a kind of national pedestal. Sufficient, publication, on the other hand, should be secured to act as a deterrent wherever it can, and also, which is a point to be remembered, to enable an injured party to free himself or herself from alleged blame. The other outstanding essential is the freedom of the Press. But just as the freedom of the ritizen is not wrongfully encroached upon. hy requiring the compulsory removal of a sanitary nuisance or by restricting the sale of poison, so the freedom of the Press is not unjustly infringed by com- pulsory suppression of polluting details elaboruted for purposes of profit.

"The "Director of Public Prosecutions considered that this bill was quite in the right direction, adding that when once it islaid down that such things shall not he published, then all newspapers are put upon a similar level. The Newspaper I'roprietors' Association, in a letter to your committee, wrote that they saw no dificulty in giving effect to the provisions' of the hill as drawn, and that their coun cil could suggest no, alternative method which would be an improvement on that proposed. It is within the knowledge of your committee that eminent foreigners. have expressed their surprise that such Jatitude is granted to the Press in Great Britain on this subject, and that some publications have come down to a level which is not permitted on the Continent Evidence has also been adduced to your committee that injury is. done to British. reputation, both in India and in the East, by reproductions in the vernacular Press of reports of divorce cases in Great Bri- tain as typical of British life. From this. and other evidence your committee have formed the opinion, that the bill is framed on the right line and they believe that a large portion of the Press would wel come it as such,*' (

Your. Committee are opposed to hear- ing cases in camera as contrary to British sentiment, unless in very exceptional cir cumstances where they are now allowed. Bat we do not agree with the contention that there is no ein medin between hear- ings in camera and the right to publish full reports of the divorce class of cases according to oxisting law. At any rate, a middle coarse should be tried, particu Larly as we cannot insist top strongly upou the fact that it is often the contaminating! character of the whole report rather than any individual phrase in it which is mis chievous.
