Allenburys

Progressive System of Infant Feeding

Does baby's food provide the requisite nourish- ment to advance the rapid development that should take place during the first few months of bis life? The use of the 'Allenburys' system removes any doubt that the food will be adequate for all baby's needs. This progressive way is the rational way and the safe way. As baby pro- gresses his food is adapted to suit and promote his gradually developing powers of digestion and assimilation. Thus the balance of nourishment is maintained and robust growth provided for,

THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH,

FARMER AND WIFE ATTACKED.

ARMED ROBBERS STAB MAN IN THE BACK,

after

Three robbers, one armed with a knife, attacked the Inmates, a man and his wife, of a matshed in the Nga Chin Wat village shortly after midnight on Friday, when they stabbed the husband and decamped with money and clothing to the value of $23.50.

Searching enquiries were in- stituted by the police immediately receiving a report of the crime, and as a result a man has been arrested. The police are also trying to trace the where- abouts of Chan Lam, aged 37 or 38, unemployed and of no fixed abode. Ite is stated to be known in Tam Shui and speaks Punti and Hakka - dialects. He has a long face, protruding teeth and when last seen was wearing cat- ton clothing and a grey felt hat.

It is hoped that some light has been thrown on the identity of the third man, as Chan Fat, the attacked man, states that he re- cognised the man who stabbed him as Heung Yung, aged 27, who was formerly his foki.

The details of the crime, as contained in a police report, are that about 1 am. on Saturday. Chan Fat, aged 21, a vegetable farmer residing in the Unno dis- trict, was, together with his wife, Tse King, aged 22. sleeping matshed, when the three men entered. One caught hold of the woman by the throat and her placed the other hand over eyes, whilst another attacked the husband with a knife. The two struggled with the assailants and finally succeeded in freeing them selves, upon which the robbers took to their heels, with the farmer and his wife in pursuit. They were chased to the Nga Chin Wai village, where they were lost to sight. The pursuers returned to find a quantity of their money and clothing stolen. This, to- gether with the knife with which the farmer was attacked, was later recovered.

Chan Fat was taken to

the hospital suffering from a knife wound in the back, but his condi- tion is not serious.

Concerning Cooking.

RELIABILITY.

The gas cooker is absolutely reliable, and is under the complete control of the cook. The supply of heat is unfailing and, once the taps are adjusted to give the desired heat, the cooker can be left un- attended until the cooking is finished,

There are no delicate parts which a little error of judgment on the part of the cook will put out of order. There is never a fear that the supply of gas will suddenly be cut off, or that through any small defect in one part the whole cooker will be put out of action.

Gas never fails,

May we fix you a modern Gas Cooker on hire-purchase terms? You may name your own instalments if desired. Cookers also fixed on hire at $1.00 a month and sold for cash.
