Thousands of people are experiencing the effect of Food Debility without suspecting the reason. you one of them? The cause of Food Debility is that certain essential food elements are missing from your daily dietary. The result is that your system. is deprived of sufficient health-giving nourishment, and you naturally become run-down and listless. Your nerves are constantly on edge, and you seldom enjoy a good night's sleep.

Because of its supreme nutritive value and remark- able case of assimilation, "Ovaltine is the food beverage most widely prescribed by doctors in case of malnutrition, dyspepsia and Food Debility.

JUDGMENT FOR

DEFENDANTS

Promissory Note

Case Fails

Appearing as representative for Amrik Singh, money-lender, absent from the Colony, Churand Singh lost a clah for $100 principal, and $46 interest against Leong Yun- cheung and, Seik Po-chuèn, of the i correspondence office. P.W.D. at the Summary Court yesterday. Mr. C. Y. Kwan appeared for the de- fence.

In evidence Leong said he bor- rowed $50 from the plaintiff and signed a promissory note for $100. Out of the $50 he was to receive, plaintiff took $5 ng his own "com- mission." For 15 months he had paid off $5 interest.

Ghuman Singh said he had no Instructions in the case, and ask- ed for an adjournment.

Mr. Kwan objected to this course as a waste of money. There was no legal case for defendants to answer.

V

In assenting to this, Mr. Justice Lindsell told Ghuman Singh that. the promissory note stated that the two defendants/ were drawing salaries of $200 each and, whether that was misrepresentation or not.. It was the money-lender's risk. He should know, and apparently did know, that Government „ser- vanta earning up to and including $200 a month were protected, and only those drawing above that amount were not protected.

Judgment was given for the de- fendants.

"Disfiguring Hong Kong"

(Continued from Parè 1)

WHOM ARE THEY FOR?

[To The Editor, "The Hong Kong Daily Press "] Dear Sir-read with great interest your leading article on the unsightly outdoor hoardings which are spread all over the Colony, and endorse everything you say.

What strikes one as extraordinary is the expensive products that appear on these hoardings.

It is all very well for a rickshaw coolie to gaze at an ex- pensive perfume; wish" as we may that he will buy this product -but, alas can he possibly afford ? And even if he could. would He hot prefer something more celestial?

Yours, etc..

"FLEURS DE CANTON."

LEGISLATION NEEDED

[To The Editor, "The Hong Kong Dally Press "] Dear Sir, Congratulations on your characteristically vigorous leading article!

Yes, you are quite right for the most part these hoardings are definitely unaightly and, taking many of their locations into consideration, they are unsuitable. However, the unsuitability of the hoardings does not interest me. The advertiser can look after his own interests. What does Interest and concern me is the positively disgraceful manner in which they disfigure Hong Kong.

It is an old saying that often "You can't see the wood for the trees. Well, in this connection it may justly he said. "You won't see the products for the hoardings." And if some of the products are anything Uke what they are painted to be on many of the bigger hoardings, then nobody would miss much by abstaining from purchasing. *

*

As you say, Government should take action to limit and censor these frightful blots on an otherwise attractive landscape.

Yours gratefully,

"ACTION."

"SHOULD BE LIMITED "

MR. F. STAFFORD SMITH, DEPARTMENTAL MANAGER OF THE SOUTH CHINA DEPARTMENT OF THE BRITISH-AMERI- CAN TOBACCO CO. (CHINA); LTD,, said that he felt that in a great, many cases the hoardings were unsightly.

So far as his Company was concerned, he said. "Our boards are very few and we only use particularly good sites and we keep them in very good condition.

"Any sign boards or posters should be limited in number and should be permitted in good locations only. They should be well-kept and the designs frequently altered."

SHOULD BE SUBJECT TO APPROVAL " MR. H. DREYER, IMPORT MANAGER OF MESSRS, SHEWAN, A TOMES & CO-"I compliment you on your leading article. It is Just what is required to stir the authorities to action"

"I certainly do not think that advertisement through those sources are of much commercial value except in very special places. The Press and technical magazines are definitely the best advertising mediums."

Mr. Dreyer also said that he felt, that hoardings should be subject to approval by the authorities, even on private build-
