The General Electric Company, Ir. King said, did not wish to press the charge, provided, the stolen fittings were returned to them. In the circumstances the police also were not pressing the case. The defendant was a student at Queen's College, and Mr. King understood he was a scholarship holder. The headmaster of the school gave him good character and he belonged to a respectable family, his father being at present in Central China and as uncle was in the employ of the Chinese Government.

TWO or three Velocium tablets taken every two hours will arrest any Catarrhal attack, while three or four days similar treatment will usually concver the most obstinate cases of Catarrh or Hay Fever. Velocium is a catarrhal specific of extraordinary power, and, as its name implies, it acts with incredible swiftness. Where- ever it has been introduced, Velocium has been acclaimed as a certain means of relief and cure in most cases of catarrhal affections. Full directions for taking accompany every package.
