The Committee is elected by you to protect your interests and the rules of the Club provide for certain action to be taken by the Committee in case of non-payment of accounts. Actually the rules do not provide discretionary powers for the Committee in this maiter, but owing to exceptional circumstances we thought it well to take exceptional action or rather temporarily refrain from acting too harshly, and I trust we have your approval.

THE BIBLE AND PLAGUE. STORY OF HONGKONG BY
SIR J CANTLIE.
How the Bible helped a doctor, out East to find out the right means of attack- ing the source of the deadly pingue, is told by Sir James Cantile, F.B.C.S., iz his foreword to "The Conquest of Disease," by David Masters. The doctor was Sir James himself, and the incident happened in the nineties, when the plague was carrying men off like flies in Hongkong, and Dr. Canulie and his colleagues were at a loss how to prevent it So long
President,r. H. R. B. Hancock was unanimously re-elected to this office.
The President returned thanks for the confidence placed in him. He said he thought he was about the oldest playing member of the Club and he had the whole interest of the Club at-heart. as possible, be would continue to do all he could to further the Club's interests in every way;
The Committee.-Messrs. T. E. Pearce, P. M. Hodgson, R. E. A. Webster, H. E Hollands, L. D. Nicoll, G. H. Piercey, H. Owen Hughes and J. H. Ramsay were all re-electril and Mr. H. A. Nisbet, who is returning from leave, was substituted in place of ir. A. D. Humphreys...
Auditors-Messrs. Linstead and Davis were re-elected.
"One morning," he says, “a clergyman walked into my room, and we began to talk about the scourge.
You will find all you want to know? about the plague in the Bible," he said.
Where? I asked in amazement. "In the First Book of Samuel, chapters iv, v, and ri,' he answered.

If you could see the Germs in your throat you would realise why your throat gets sore, and why you are liable to catch dangerous germ-diseases.
The above micro-photographs are of an experiment made by Dr. Piorkowski, the bacteriologist. Two glass plates, covered with a substance on which germs thrive, were exposed in a railway carriage. One (the lower plate) was treated with saliva from a person who had sucked four Formamint Tablets. All germs on the lower plate were destroyed, while they grew abundantly on the other. Thus, when you suck Formamint, all disease-germs in your mouth and throat are destroyed.
