Every Once In A While.

Every once in a while that is the way you take Pinkettes, to keep your liver active, your | digestion good, your systém clean and healthy. Why then become a slave of the daily Salts taking habit, or torture yourself with. nauseating Castor oil?

As gently as nature Pinkettes correct constipation, bilious at tacks, sick headaches; in a single night. Daintily efficient, they cause no discomfort, are excellent to insure clear skin, sweet breath, prompt relief from píles. Chemists everywhere sell Pin- *

kettes, 70 cents per vial.

Sir Manasseh's name was household word in Singapore, especially among the poorer classes of the Jewish community, and was held in high esteem and affection by all who had the pleasure of knowing him. As a benefactor the name of Sir Manasseh Meyer stands out most conspicuously. In the cause of education he gave liberally and no less 'Bberal-were his dona- tions to charities. The new synagogue in Oxley Rise is a worthy memorial to his generosity towards religion and in the cause of "ducation his donation of a lakh and a half dollars to Raffles College Oris, together with one other dons- ion. The biggest donation received by the College. Sir Manassch also ran a private Jewish school where Q-If not, how are lepers found Jewish children not only got their within the Colony dealt with if:-education free but also their meals.

(a) they are British Subjects or permanent residents of the Colony?

No Asylum Established. Q.-Has any asylum bean established in the Colony for the segregation and treatment of lepera' under Section 2 of dinance No. 24 of 19107

Ans.-No.

(b) They do not come within either of the above cate gories? Ans.--(4) A few British subjects have been treated in hospital.

(b) Chinese subjects are removed by the Police to Canton where they are handed over to the local police. Q. If lepers were sent out of the Colony, is it a fact that many of them return to the Colony whilst they remain uncured?

Ang. It is not known what percentage of lepers return to the Colony, but there have been cases of early return.

Police Records Destroyed. Q-How many lepers were dealt with within the last ten years?

Ans. Police records previous

to 1922 have been destroyed. 237 Lepers have been dealt with by Police from 1922 to June-1930.

Q.-Is it known whether there are, and if so approximately how many, lepers now in the Colony 7

Ans-There is nothing known definitely concerning the numbers but it is estimated that the rate per 1,000 population cannot be less than one fourth that of Kwangtung Province where it is said to be 1 per 1000.

Sir Manassch Meyer's career was an eventful one. Born in October, 1846, in Bagdad, he began his education at Calcutta and went to Singapore in 1861. He returned to Calcutta in 1864 and began busi- ness with an uncle. Dissolving this partnership three years later he began business, with only a small capital and very little experience, in Rangoon. Singapore, however, always seemed to hold a definite at traction for him, and he returned there in 1873. It was not long be fore his name became a factor in the communal and commercial life of the city. He received a knight hood comparatively recently,
