GOT FAT ON LIGHT WORK
Local Cricket Notes
By R. Abbit
Put on 71 lbs, in Two Years
Hero's a man who soon found that there was at least one drawback to having an easy job-it made him fat He writes:→→→
"Lately, having a light job, after being used to heavy work for years, I began to put on weight. I used to weigh ordinarily 11 st. 0 155, but after about two years on my present job, I weighed 18-st, 10 IDA. Now, after about twelve months taking half #teaspoonful of Kruschen in hot water every morning, I weigh 11 et. 2 lbs., and I can bond about like used to before. I muy say I do not diet myself, but eat the same as i always have been used to. I am at ! least six inches smaller round the waist."E. F..
Kruschen contains those six inineral salts, proportionately balanced, found in the waters of those famous Burn- pean Spas used by generations of fat people to reduce weight.
The "ttle daily dose" of Kruschen Safts keeps the organs functioning properly every day, and fils you with such a feeling of radiant vitality and vigour that before you know it you are fairty "Jumping out of your skin" with energy. Instend of moping around-und reduction follows us malter of course,

HAS REAL IDEA OF SECOND DIVISION BEEN LOST?
WINNING JUNIOR SHIELD NOW JUST
}
AS IMPORTANT AS WINNING SENIOR LEAGUE
On Saturday last the conditions were perfectly appalling for cricket as there was a cold wind and a nasty drizzle most of the time. The Club side, as it so often is after New Year, secmed to be a very make-shift one in its non-League game against the 1.R.C. It seems surprising that the premier, club in the Colony is unable to keep together a regular first team though I think that to some extent the trouble is, as in other clubs, a second team is playing in the second division.
know of some clubs in which fixed in the League between Army members of the second eleven are "C" and Navy. Since writing those initely unwilling to play for the dines I managed la get into touch League games, and one cannot but match is being played.

recognise the feelings of a second eleven who are quite frequently get- ting two or three of their leading players called up to do duty with the first.
The only solution 1 can see is that a club should be able to i prac- tically the same eleven both first or second every Saturday. This is of course a counsel of perfection. ness
THE FOURTH TEST
I have just tend a few lines by "Veritos" On the question of the fourth Test, and I heartily gree with his remarks about Allen. Any- thing that a caplain can do Allen has done; and in his own netund cricket Il-performances, which very often are less important than his captaincy performances, (tho' this sounds para- doxical), he has a great deal upon which he may well congratulate himself.
