ST. JOHN'S AMBULANCE GIRLS GO THROUGH GAS CHAMBER

"Telegraph" Special Representative.

If prosent plans mature, work will shortly commence in Hongkong on the production of half a. million cheap gas masks.

I understand that local rubber factories, at present chiefly employed in manufacturing rubber shoes and other similar requisites, are to be requested by the Government to turn their attention to the manufacture of masks.

Only the rubber fittings will be manufactured in Hongkong, the filter containers being imported from! Britain.

It has been realised long ago that the perishable nature of gas masks makes their importa- tion from Europe a financial pro- blem that cannot be overcome,

The scheme to manufacture the fittings in Hongkong will, if carried out, assure that the masks would be effective for a much longer periód

Even so, the problema of storing the masks once they are made is said to be presenting difficulties, and it may be necessary for a special air conditioned godown to be prepared.

The perishable nature of rubber is the chief danger which must be guarded against, for even a pin-prick in the protective rubber casing could prove fatal..

Hongkong rubber factories, of ¦ one that is now receiving the which there are a large number, attention of the authorities. would be capable of turning out

the required number of masks within a very short period once the necessary machinery is in stalled.

The question of installation of this nuichinery is. I understand,

If your child is under cleven-be careful whzat laxative you give him! He should have a special laxa- tive-a child's laxative.

For adult laxatives are often too harsh for a child's sensitive system. They may cause him griping pain or an upset digestion. It may be difficult to get a child to take a bad-tasting medicine.

But such things need not be. For there is one laxa- tive that is perfect for children... Castoriat Castoria" is made especially for children—from babyhood to eleven years. You can give it to your child with con. fidence. Castoria is gentle yet thorough. It contains no castor oil, no harmful habit-forming ingredients. And children love its "candy" taste!"

In more than 5,000,000 American homes, mothers give their children Castoria for consti pation, colic due to gas, upset stomach and the first symptoms of a cold.

Get a bottle of Castoria today. Be ready for the little upsets that come to every child. Give Castoria—the laxa- tive that is made especially for children.
