that we can now manufacture on cur premises the new Kryptok Invisible bifocal Lens.

The old style of cement bifocals with their disfiguring and annoying dividing line has been supplanted by a now lens with two foci, the upper portion of the glass for distance and the lower for reading, ground from one single] plece of glass.

You who wear two pairs of glasses may now use one pair instead. No one can tell that you wear bifocals. Nosement to blister; no thin segments to lose off.

Call and inspect this line. Kryptoks in regular or töric form,

government and the Imperial Baghdad Railway Company sign- ed agreements under which the latter surrendered their right to construct the Rcôtion of line ba tween Baghdad and the Persian Gulf on condition that they roosived a certain shere in any. new company formed to carry out that Eection. The negotia- tions which have now terminated 60

satisfactorily and .80. amicably, were commenced be tween the British and Türkish Governments last year. Sir Ed- ward Grey stated in July last that the basis of the negotiations wAN the question whether the British Government should consent to the inorease of Turkish Customs, which was asked for by Turkey, and the one great object Great... Britain wished to secure was that there should be no misunderstand- ing with Turkey regarding the status quo in general in the Persian Gulf. The importance of the line, when completed, lies mainly in the commercial possi- bilities of the countries traversed. Red and yellow leather, silks and cotton eluffs, are manufactur- ed on a large scale, while the territory is rich in dates, olives," wool, grain, tobacco etc. Koweit, the eventual terminas of the railway (also called Grane) has a very good harbour, which from time immemorial has farnished the best ships and sailors of these 8888.

China's protection from bank ruptoy is the honest administra- tion of her finances. If the Treasury returns do not reveal a great improvement in the yield from the existing taxes, then a most useful field of investigation is opened out to a Parliamentary Committee. While our knowledge of the position is not sufficiently. exaot to enable us to express any definite opinion upon the state- ment that increased taxation is necessary to Obina's financial salvation, we believe it is generally recognised among the Chinese themselves that radical reform in the mode of THE HOUSES collecting, as well as in the acseas- ment of taxes, is urgently needs ed..
