New ideas of Dental Science are exhaustively tested by Gibbs. Chemists: When one stands the test and is proved to be bea ficial and anfe, it is applied to Gibbs Dentifrice. Gibbs Dentifrice has the sapenaceous base an! its polishing agent is of the exact degree of fineness that dentists pro-. nounce ideal.

MESSRS, BENJAMIN & POTTS"

REPORT.

Messrs Benjamin & Potts' in their Weekly Share Report stuto that during the week the local mar- ket has kept very steady and moderately active. The bulk of the shares changing hand, is small, but prices on the whole have been well maintained, and rates how little change from those recorded last week.

Hong Kong and Shanghaj Banks advanced up to $1,385, but have eased off slightly owing to the Lon don price weakening, buyers "there not offering more than £146.10/."

Unions are ruling.strong with buyers at 8371.

Cantons were negotiated "at the improved price of $885 and Hong Kong Fires at 8783.

Hong Kong, Canton and Macao Steamboats have further declined to $271. This is no doubt due to the rumour that a Chinese syndicate is putting a couple of fast steamers on the Canton run.

"Deferred" Indo-Chinas have remained steady at 890 and the "Preferred" shares are wanted at $30.

Kowloon Wharves are asked for at the reduced rate of $132, bus these are no shares except at higher rate..

Whampoa Docks show a slight im- provement and were taken off the -market at $41.

Shanghai Docks continue in de mand at Tls. 107.

China Providents are a shade easier, buyers offering 83.05.

Too much smoking gives rise to throat-irritation with its attendant discomforts. There is nothing better than the 'Allenburys' Glycerine and Black Currant Pastilles, to allay this irritation and clear the voice.

LEMON REMEDIES.

When you have a cold a glass of hot lemon with honey is one of the best things you can take. If your throat is sore lemon juice and

If you have bilious headache make a hot cup of coffee and put a spoonful of lemon juice in it." This will soon banish the headache.

OUR ELDERS ARE TOO SENTIMENTAL.

If sentimentality offende some sense of mental decency in you which the expression of strong emo tion does not, you are young at "heart. If it is the other way about, then, spiritually, you are old whatever your actual age may be you belong to the past.

A Bad Lack Of Understanding. - Better than any formal division, that test divided my generation, the war and post-war people, from the generation before us; and it seems such a pity that those whose minds were set before the great upheaval can rarely be made to realise this, since it accounts for a good deal of the present unfortunate antagonism and mutual eriticism between the old and the young,

A Convenient Escape From Real Emotion.

The same rule holds with books and plays Hall the world regards sentimentality as a .convenient escape from real emotion, which

makes it feel uncomfortable; while to the other half it is revolting, profaning something fine and honest by inferring that the unvarnished truth is in itself unpleasant.

Trespassing On Holy Ground. They, the old of any age, believe that we hold nothing sacred because we joke broadly on subjects which they never handle except in a wrap ping of mental cotton wool; but they trespass with mercilessly senti- With a few exceptions on both mental feet on our holy grounds, sides, the two sets sort themselves which do not appear private to out according to age; and the gulf them.

CLIPPINGS FROM THE

SEWING ROOM.

When a needle falls upon the carpet there is often so much dif ficulty in finding it that one is tempted to leave it. This is dangerous thing to do. If an or dinary magnet attached to a string. is included in the sewing outfit, it is a simple matter to run it over the carpet the needle will at once- fly to the magnet.

Beissors have an exasperating habit of disppearing from view when sewing is strewn about the table; to avoid loss of time and temper an excellent plan is to tie a tiny bell on to the handle, using. a bright ribbon for the purpose.
