Regarding the accounts, there is very serious ground for complaint, as it is a well-known fact that the property was, a few years ago, written up to its full value, and nothing since has ever been written off for depreciation, or if it has, it must be so cleverly hidden up that no one cap seo il tastead of being depreciated we find the "Olt Dock" has increased in value Tis 11.500. The bonk entry or entries arriving at this result would be interesting, the other Docks (with the exception of The Inter ernational" which is also up Tis, 8, foo) stand at the same value as last year. When one con- sidets that the various. Dock properties consist" of not only land; but buildings, godowns, machine shops, boilers, dwelling houses (both Chinese and Foreign) and other properties of a depreciable nature, then the omiscion of any allowance for depreciation becomes a very serious matter and I would like to hear the explanation of both the liquidators and auditors on omission of this, most important item

Not only for women, but for men and child ren also, are Dr. Williams', Pink Pills for Pale People valuable. This has been proved by countless instances of cures published in the newspapers. These pills have cured anemia, indigestion, liver ailments, palpitations, eczema and so thaarders, neuralgia, St. Vitus' dance, rheumatism, sciatica. paralysis, locomotor ats axy, beri-beri, and ladies' ailments.
