FRIDAY, JUNE 24, 1932.

IF INDIGESTION TROUBLES YOU

It is because there is excess seld in your stomach. This is bad, for the acid attacks the stomach lining and may cause ulcers. To get quick relief you should take halt ten spoonful of 'Bisurated Magnesia In water, which neutralises excess acid and soothes and heals the stomach lining. Doctors throughout the world recommend 'Blaurated' Magnesin.

The Chinese community paid a Biting tribute to the popularity of the retiring Director of Public Works, the fon. Mr. H. T. Croney, C. B. E., last night, when he was the guest of honour at a furowell- dinner held at the Kam Ling Rea-public servants.

Supporting Mr. Kolewali in the chair were H. E. the General OMeer Commanding (Major-General J, W, Sandilands), and others present in- cluded the Hon. Mr. C. G. Alabas- ter, Hon. Mr. W. E. L. Shenton, Hon. Mr. E. R. Hallifax, Mr. J. Owen Hughes, Hon. Commander G. 1 Hole, Hon. Mr. T. II. King (Act. ing 1. G. P.), Sir Joseph Kemp, Hon. Mr. T. N. Chau, Hon. Dr. S. W. Tso, Sir William Hornell, Capt. Cameron (A.D.C.). and Mr. Ho Kom-long,

After the Loyal Toast und that of the Republic of China had been honoured, the Chairman gave "The Principal Guest," when he said:

Perhaps I might not inappro- priately call upon you to drink to Mr. Creasy's health in water. But to be conventional I shall ask you to drink to it with the more usual form of liquid. May he and may Mrs. Creasy whose work in various good causes in the Colony is well known, and who is a fitting help mate to him in every way-have many years happiness to onjoy their well-earned retirement.

Gentlemen, the Hon. Mr. H. T. Creasy!

Mr. Creasy Replies.

In acknowledging the tonst, the Hon. Mr. H. T. Creasy naid:

The Colony may have to ga through further periods of water restrictions until the second section of the Shing Muu Scheme is in operation. but we have heard to- day that the Secretary of State his ac-approved of the commencement of that scheme, and there is to be no delay in proceeding with the work.

If I were to give an adequate count of Mr. Grenny's long and honourable service In Ceylon and Hongkong. I might be speaking until cock-crow; I must therefore confine myself to only a very brief mention of it.

Mr. Creasy began his official career In 1897-36 years ago as district engineer

in Ceylon; and when he came to us in 1923 as the Head of our Public Works Depart ment, he was Deputy Director of Public Works in that Colony and Acting Director, in addition to his other duties.

It is career in Hongkong is so well known that it needs no emphasis Good wine needs no bush, as a good D. P. W. needs no boost. It is enough to remark that Mr. Creasy service was so highly appreciated by the Government that in 1927 the decoration of C.B.E. was con ferred on him by His Majesty the King.

sincerely trust, therefore, that before long, water restrictions in Hongkong will become unnecessary. This wish has often been expressed, but however hopeful others may have been, we are now in a better position for the fulfilment of that wish than ever before.

What P.W.D. Has Done.
