Mr. Braga also asked:

Will the Government consider the advisability of setting, aside sufficient areas of Crown Land, for present and future needs, in the district of Kowloon Tong for the provision, as soon as their neces- sity becomes apparent, of

(a) A Park large enough in size for the probable growing re quirements of the residents of Kowloon Tong?

The Chairman Lam authorised. to reply that the necessity 19. parks and open spaces on the Peninsula was carefully consider- ed by the Town Planning Com- Imittee some four years ago, and that large area in close proxi- mity to Kowloon Tong has been provisionally reserved for this purpusc.

As regards the market, I' authorised to reply that it has been usual for the Sanitary. Board to recommend to Government in connection with the annual esti- mates, the positions in which is, in the Board's opinion, des-) lirable that new markets should be i erected, and that the Government will give full consideration to the Board's recommendation in this reapert.

Fruit Licences,

On the proposition of the Chai:- man, seconded by Mr. Tao, it was I decided that there was no neces

BRONCHITIS?

Obronchitis

F all chest ailments is the

most prevalent and cer-: tainly the most persist-, ent. It is really an inflammation of the 'bronchials." These tubes are like the branches and twigs of a tree and lead from the windpipe to every part of the lungs.

When, through chill, breathing foul air, or other adverse influences, irritation or inflammation is set up in the bronchials, the natural secretion of mucus is enor mously increased and this causes the persistent cough, which is Nature's effort to free the air-passages of obstructions,

It is little use swallowing drugay mixtures into your stomach. In all deep-seated coughs and colds Peps are the urgent need. This crent breatheable remedy, buching the sore bronchial tubes with rich healing pine fumes, loocans phlegm, allays the cough, heals the sore irritated membranes, und, subdues any inflammation that may be present..

No matter whether your bronchitis, bronchial asthma or cough be of recent origin or aggravated by years of heglect, you cannot afford to. overlook the benefits. which Peps alone give. It virtually means bringing the comfort- ing, chest-strengthening breath of Alpine pine forests to your bedside.

It is a wise protective policy to take Pops regularly throughout the cold-season.

Peps are by far the safest and best remedy ever dis covered for coughs, colds, chills, sore throats. laryngitis, bronchitis,gsthma, and other chest and Jung perils that threaten in our climate.
