That some of the highest officials who have been for a long time addicted to the habit, are finding it difficult to free themselves is evidenced by the case of H. E. Lo Pao- chung, President of the Board of Censorate, who, on being requested recently to resign his, important past on account of his opium-smok. ing proclivities, asked the Throne to permit him to resign permanently as, in spite of all his efforts; he had been unable to break off the practice. Only a short time has elapsed since the Vice-President of the same Board and also the Vice-President of the Law Reform Com mitten, both confirmeď opium-smokers, died in consequence of having had to give up the habit. These and similar casor have caured the strip- Rency of the Regulations to be somewhat relaxed. Those smokers who are past the age of fifty, instead of sixty, years; for instance, are to be allowed to continue smoking; whilst "those who have been-addicted-to-the-habit-for fan years may continue to smoke in diminishing quantity during the ten years allowed the public for the total abolition of opium.
