Mt. Hayter made an explanatory statement in which he said the sweepstake was run with the ap proval of the two charities con- cerned, the Hongkong Benevolent Society and the Society of St. Vincent de Paul.

It was also explained that a large number of tickets had been sold, and that the money had not been caffected as they had no trea

No Personni Gain. "I replied and asked him to re- eonsider his decision as it seemed to me to be unthinkable that a pr perly organised sweepstake shoull not be run while others were run for private gain. He wrote to me on the 8th and said he regretted that he was unable to alter his de- cision.

This was put as a resolution, and "seconded. There were no, dissentients; and the meoting then closed.

It is understood that the ticke in the sweepstake were two dollare cach, and that, the first prize was $40,000, second $15,000 and the third $7,000. In addition starters were to receive $1,000 each.

Mr. Haytor asked if anyone else had anything to say, but there was no response from the others present, and the meeting apparent ly closed. The Press represents- tives were about to leave when they were informed that other re- resentatives, had arrived, and that there would be further dis- cussion and their presence was requested.

Two or three other representa tives had arrived, and one asked if the police had been requested to reconsider the decision they had éome to."

WHEN BABY IS CROSS

there is something wrong and the little one is taking the only means he has of telling it. Under such circumstances the temptation to administer a sleeping draught, or opiate of some kind is often great, but don't do it unless expressly ordered by a competent doctor. Instead give Baby's Own Tablets, which are guaranteed to "contain no opiates; they send the child to sleep. simply because they re- move the causes of his sleepless- ness and make him feel good and comfortable.
